volved other than merely shipping coal here.’ Mr. Stockton claims his advisory comimttee on _solid fuels has not been specific as to the needs of the Indianapolis area until now and that he has now acted to divert as much -Indiana-mined coal to emergency uses here as possible,

Prefer Higher Grade

He points out that local dealers have been accustomed to buying nigher-grade coal from the east and that they have’ been reluctant to take delivery of the Indianamined fuel. He blames the zero temperatures for increasing the shortage to the crisis stage but emphasizes that Indianapolis is only one area in an entire nation similarly suffering from freight embargoes, fuel shortages and intense cold and snow storms. “Sixty-four carloads of Indiana coal are on their way to Indianapolis today,” Mr. Stockton reporte ed today, “but this area isn't going to be able to climb out from under the crisis until the weather turns warmer.” Myron 'R. Green, appointed by Mayor Tyndall to co-ordinate the local effort to relieve the shortage,

“The dealers who haye coal don't have sufficient trucks and drivers,” he declared. “Dealers are advising householders to come to the coal yards, if possible, ang haul the coal themselves—by | / their own truck, car or by the bushel basket. “We're trying to procure trucks and drivers to help out in deliveries—but there just aren’t any trucks to be had.” He said the city had a few trucks that would be suitable for hauling coal but that Mayor Tyndall had informed him the city faced a lack of manpower to drive the trucks. Mr. Green disclosed he would make an effort to obtain army

But while the city,’ the dealers and* the solid fuels administration wrestle with the shortage, thousands of local residents have appealed to the emergency coal committee at RI-4301 for aid.

Calls Swamp Office

This committee, using the phones, space and personnel of the Red Cross, has been receiving calls today from anxious householders at (the average rate of one every 20 seconds. Up until last night 2094 applications—from persons claiming—tehave less than a 48-hour coal supply on hand were taken and 2044 investigations made since the plan went into effect 10 days ago. Red Cross volunteers have been working an average of 12 hours a day in an effort to keep up with the distress calls. The committee now is urging householders to exhaust all efforts on their own before calling the Riley 4301 number, After that the committee refers callers to those dealers offering emergency coal for sale.

Can't Promise Deliveries

If illness or any other circumstance prevents the callers from visiting these dealers and obtaining coal, the committee asks the Red Cross to investigate. But even if cases are certified, there's no guarantee coal will be delivered immediately, All concerned with the coal shortage have appealed to the public to be calm, “Panic ordering,” as Mr. Green put it, “can do more to wreck the progress of our relief program than any freight embargo, cold wave or sag .in distribution. . There are bound to be some cold homes in Indianapolis for the next few days but we all are doing our best to make the suffering affect as few as possible.”
