FCC May Issue
Directive
On Employment
ATLANTA (UPD—It is pos
sible that, as early as this fall,
the Federal Communications
Commission will Issue a direc
tive to broadcasters to hire a
specific number of minority
group members in proportion to
the ethnic makeup of their sta
tion’s coverage area, a panel of
communications lawyers said
Monday.
The lawyers told television.’
executives attending the Geor
gia Association of Broadcasters'
Bth annual TV Day here ‘that
the FCC has so far issued only
a generalized statement regard
ing equal employment opportu
nity for minority group mem
bers.
Aloysius McCabe, a member
of the three - man panel con
sisting of members of Washing
ton, D. C., law firms, said the
FCC currently expects stations
to be equal opportunity employ
ers and suggested that stations’
management survey their staffs
to see if they are roughly re
flective of the ethnic composi
tion of their communities.
At the present time, he said,
stations are not required to
prove they are equal opportu
nity employers in order for the
FCC to grant their license re

Your Gas Tank Run. Over?
Buy Gas Like Cranberries
By CARLTON SMITH and
RICHARD PUTNAM PRATT
We happened to be passing
the service station when we
saw our neighbor, Snerdly,
waving his arms about and
talking loudly to an attend
ant about “throwing cran
berries on the floor.”
Knowing Snerdly to be an
excitable type we intervened,
got him to park his car
around the corner, and con
ducted him into a nearby
health-food bar” where we
ordered a round of corn juice
with a splash of mineral wa
ter to calm his nerves.
“What’s this about cran
berries?” we asked.
For a long time, Snerdly
explained, he had been con
tending with this problem
about service station attend
ants. They all appear to

understand the instruction to
“fill it up" as "run it over.”
After the automatic shut-off
stops the pump, said Snerd
ly, the attendant invariably
squeezes down on the handle
again until he is satisfied
that the tank is indeed full—
the test being that one can
see gas running down the
side of the car.
“When the pump shuts
off,” said Snerdly, “my tank
is full. It won’t take another
teacupful. I keep trying to
get this across, and it’s like
I’m speaking Sanskrit. Back
there just now, I told the at
tendant to fill it up, and I.
said, ‘When the pump shuts
off, it’s full. Don’t try to get
any more in.’ ”
."Well, the pump clicked
off, with $4.31 on the meter,
and this character reaches
for the handle saying, ‘l’ll
just make it .35’—and at .33
the gas starts running down
the side of the car.
“That’s how cranberries
got into it. In a grocery
store, when the girl at the
cash register says the bill
comes to $4.31. nobody feels

Three Georgians
Die In Vietnam
WASHINGTON (UPD —Three
more Georgia servicemen have
died ’ln Vietnam, the Defense
Department said Monday.
Spec. 4 Perlum M. Parker Jr.
of Atlanta was reported ’killed
in action.
The Defense Department said
the other two. Marine Pfc.
Earnest L. Stanford of Adel,

Jones of Valdosta, Ga., did not
die as a result of hostile action.
Jones had previously been
listed as missing.
Restraining Order
Issued To Burson
ATLANTA (UPD— A restrain
ing order has been issued
prohibiting state Welfare Direc
tor Bill Burson from denying as
sistance to persons who have
lived in Georgia less than. a
year.
U. S. District Judge Albert J.
Henderson issued the order in
a suit brought last week by res
idents of DeKalb and Fulton
counties.
The suit charged the plaintiffs
had been denied old age assis
tance, aid to the blind and as
sistance for the disabled. AU
had lived in Georgia less .than
one year.
. Henderson’s restraining order
halts Burson from refusing as
sistance on residency grounds
until Aug. 22, when a hearing
is scheduled.

there’s anything wrong with
$4.31.
“Can you imagine the
checkout” girl scooping up
some cranberries and say
ing. ‘We’ll just add enough to
make your bill s4.3s'—and
never mind there isn’t
enough room in the sack for
another four cents worth?
Can yoil imagine what would
happen if, every time you
went through the checkout,
the girl ran cranberries all
over the floor and expected
you to pay for them? Whv,
the women in the store would
have the grocer lynched in
five minutes.
“But that’s what happens
to me every time I drive in
to get gas. Why? Why do
they insist on that extra
squeeze after the tank is
full?”
Urging more corn juice on
Snerdly, we explained serv
ice station economics. "Sup
pose a station gets 100 gas
customers a day,” we said,
“and the attendants can
squeeze out another four
cents worth of gas on each
sale. That adds up to $4 a
day, S2B a week, or $1,456 a
year.
“To you, it’s only a couple
of cents of wasted gas every
time you drive in, but it’s
about $1,500 a year more in
gross sales to the service
station.- So, naturally, they’ll
give it the extra squeeze.”
“I. guess you’re right,”
Snerdly said resignedly. "So
what’s the answer?”
“When you buy cranber
ries.” we pointed out, “you
don’t say, ‘Fill up a sack.’
You ask for a pound, or for
50 cents worth. Buy gas the
same way. You know what
your gauge says and about
how much your tank will
hold. If you figure 15 gal
lons. tell the pump man you
want 13 gallons, or $4 worth
—whatever doesn’t quite fill
it up.”
* Snerdly brightened. “Don’t
know why I never thought of
that. Look, from now on I’m
going to save a couple, of
cents every time I get gas—
I cap afford to buy us an
other round of this delicious,
wholesome corn juice. Wait
er!”
