Speakers Service Station Leader Replies To Gov. Scoff RALEIGH (AP) The president of the North Carolina Serv- is.t. Station Association has termed as "sour grapes" the suggestion by Gov. Bob Scott that the petroleum industry absorb the recent two-cent state gasoline tax hike. Avery Upchurch of Raleigh said Thursday, "The gasoline tax has always been a consumer tax.

The governor knew it when he rammed it through the legislature. Apparently the people are just finding this out, and maybe they're letting the governor know they know." Upchurch said in a prepared Farmers Plow Under Potatoes By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Farmers in some of the nation's potato-growing areas have begun plowing under part of their crop hi an effort to reverse a potato price decline. An estimated 1,000 acres of potatoes were destroyed in Oregon alone. The action Thursday in Oregon was apparently in response to a National Farmers Organization (NFO) call for a four per cent cutback. NFO chief Oren Staley was not available and spokesmen at NFO headquarters in Corning, Iowa, declined comment.

However, reports from groups starting potato destruction throughout the country were similar to the comment of Ray Westrick, NFO organizer in Pennsylvania and owner of the state's largest potato farm. Westrick said his group ordered the potatoes plowed under after a U.S. Department of Agriculture report that about three per cent of the nation's potato crop was surplus. A statement released by several county NFO officials in Idaho and Washington said the de struction would "save the taxpayers money and avoid having to ask for an expensive diversion program for next Glen Eppich, NFO chairman for Adams County, said the price of potatoes dropped $15 a ton recently after the government announced here would bo a surplus, "It makes cry but there's no use raising them if you can't get money for them," said Ed Petrasek of Klamath Falls County, as he watched a disc cut through a lush potato field. Officials in the Columbia Basin of Washington estimated that 400 to 500 acres were plowed under at a cost to farmers of about $350,000.

In Idaho, the biggest potato producing state in the nation, there were reports of crop destruction in several counties. Neil Venturacci of Ontario, regional NFO supervisor for Oregon, said salvageable potatoes would be given to welfare and charitable groups. statement Gov. Scott was "way off base" in saying the petroleum industry "doesn't want North Carolina to go forward." 'The entire petroleum industry," he added, "has long supported a sound system of hign- ways. We would be foolish to do otherwise, for good highways are the life blood of this industry." Scott, apparently angered by continued criticism of the two- cent tax hike, said Wednesday the gas companies "could reduce the price of gasoline one or perhaps two cents a gallon' they would abolish give-away games.

Upchurch termed as "pure hogwash" the governor's statement concerning the cost oi games utilized by some service station outlets. He said the cost of games is only a fraction of a cent per gallon. Upchurch noted that the gasoline industry fought the governor's proposal to increase the gasoline tax by two cents. He said, "There was not then anc there is not now any justification for such a large Discontinuance Of Train Protested RALEIGH (AP) A grour of Sandhills citizens feels that i proposal by the Seaboard Coast line Railroad to discontinue th Silver Comet passenger trair would be detrimental to their area and to North Carolina.

The Congress ends tonight with a talent show. High Point Enterprise, Friday, August, 1 1969 5A With Kennedy Out, Party Scramble May Develop WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's rejection of 1972 presidential aspirations could produce a Democratic political scramble--if it sticks. But two potential participants in such a scramble aren't certain the Kennedy disclaimer is irrevocable.

And another Democratic senator suggests pressure from within the party could change Kennedy's mind. Kennedy, returning to the Capitol for the first time since a tardily-reported, fatal automobile accident July 18, said repeatedly Thursday he would not run for the White House in 1972 under any circumstances. In announcing his return, and his intention to run for re-election next year, the Massachusetts senator said if he wins another term, he will serve all years. That would take him through 1976, past the next pres- Juanita Castro Sees Communist Danger GREENVILLE, N. C.

Miss Castro, who now lives in Coral Gables, made a public speech at ECU Thursday night and talked to about 150 students of the Academic Center of Latin American Studies at Rose High School in Greenville Thursday afternoon. idential race. He wouldn't speculate about his long range political future.

Theodore Sorensen, a longtime intimate and political adviser to the Kennedy family said Thursday night the senator realized the accident "damaged if not destroyed" his prospects for the 1972 presidential nomination. "He recognizes that the fallout from the tragic automobile accident in which he was involved has been such that his continued availability for the presidency would only add to more hate mail, more conflicting pressures, more speculation as to his motives," Sorensen said, adding: "He simply would be more comfortable out. And, he also recognizes that his prospects were damaged if not destroyed." Sorensen was interviewed on the CBS Evening News With Walter Cronkite. Sen. Edmund S.

Muskie of Maine, the 1968 Democratic vice presidential candidate, said he couldn't even speculate about the short range results of Kennedy's announcement. MEN'S MARKDOWNS ENTIRE STOCK MEN'S SHORT SLEEVE SPORT SHIRTS REGULAR AND BUTTON DOWN COLLAR. MANY COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM. REG. 4 00 REG.
