IN 1907, Mardock became publisher of the

After purchasing the Beacon in 1960 Murdock said the competition between the two papers had "caused the brain of Marcellus Murdock to operate at its full capacity; whatever was there got its fullest."
Pickett described Murdock as a gentleman with a warm, winning personality. He was a man of common sense in his utterances about the role of the press and in
his beliefs about how men should live,
Pickett said.
Murdock was named the eighth recipient of the William Allen White Award for Journalistic Merit in 1861. The award is by the William Allen White Foundation.

Gas Prices Begin Climb
Relaxed Controls Cause Weekend Rise
By MIKE DUFFY
Associated Press Reporter
Price dials on gasoline pumps began spinnin gaster throughout the nation over power lines.
Inflation-pressed consumers, already weary of rising prices at the supermarket, are in need of gasoline, because many gasoline stations have taken advantage of relaxed economic controls to raise their prices by as much as 2% cents a gallon. That's more than a 5-percent increase.
Gasoline dealers said price increases couldn't be expected until today or tomorrow since dealers were having troubles interpreting the rules.
But many dealers complained that the price increase would provide only term
porary relief and that they still were being victimized by the big oil companies and government price controls. Some closed their stations in protest.
THE ST. LOUIS area was virtually without any open service stations, although dealers agreed to reopen today, 36 hours before planned. Houston dealers prepared for a three-day shutdown beginning today to meet satisfaction with the new economic rules.
The Cost of Living Council announced Friday that retail gasoline prices, held in control by a special Phase 4 freeze, would be permitted to rise by 1 to $2\frac{1}{2} cents a gallon. No specific provision was made to regulate prices for future wholesale price increases.
"We wanted probably about three cents a
Gas Protest Wanes; Most Stations Reopen
ST. LOUIS (AP)—The president of the Service Station Dealers Association of Missouri, said yesterday that some gasoline dealers in the Louis area might remain closed this morning after a massive protest shutdown ends.
But most of the service station operators, who have taken part in the protest closings since last Thursday, probably will reopen their stations this morning, more than 36 hours before the scheduled six-day protest of Phase 4 price controls was to end, he said.
Some of the stations will not reopen, Kroll said, because their operators still are angry with the state over the cost of Living Council authorized increases of up to 12% a gallon Friday. Kroll said many dealers would be forced to sell more oil from oil suppliers in the coming weeks.
About 800 dealers voted Wednesday night to close for six days in protest over Phase 4 price controls which force them to absorb price increases on petroleum products by suppliers. But on Friday, the association agreed to recommend ending the protest early after Lawrence Roos, St. Louis office manager at Chesapeake Oil Company seek the aid of state and local officials to plead the dealers' case in Washington.
the week. The Auto Club of Missouri set the figure at about 50 per cent. Both said the club's officers were satisfied.
The Missouri Highway Patrol reported that about 70 per cent of the stations in the state had a fire alarm.
Kroll said that most stations that remained open during the protest shutdown, raised their prices by one or two cents a gallon after Friday's authorization, and he said the dealers who would reopen today also would have their prices up accordingly.
"I believe it was probably the best tool we've had so far to get out point across to us," said Scott, who agreed that, understood, that the Cost of Living Council had agreed to review Phase 4 controls and possibly revise or even completely rewrite the plan. "We've got a station shutdown across the country."
Although the association did not condone the massive shutdowns, Kroll said, he thought the protest was possibly the only way to get action.
"If that comes about, then I would say our protest and shutdown was 100 per cent."
gallon. What the Cost of Living Council's giving us, the oil companies will be getting back," said Oren Dewey, director of the Central Ohio Gasoline Association.
He said Columbus dealers had raised their prices by the limit to 41 cents for each unit.
"I haven't heard anything. I guess everybody's resigned to paying more for everything," said Dean Keay, owner of a station in Merrifield.
THE OWNER OF a Washington area station said he had raised his prices but hadn't heard any complaints from motorists.
In the state of Washington, most open stations raised their prices, but there were no restrictions.
he proves smoothtwoes as well. Robert Jacob, president of the Illinois and Indiana Gasoline Dealers Association, said, "Stations in Chicago already were violating council rules by charging higher prices than they were supposed to."
He said no immediate price increases were expected in Chicago, but prices could be higher if the company faces challenges.
"Regular gas is now 42 cents a gallon. It won't take much of a wholesale increase to sell at $1 per gallon."
