Firms Seek To Tap Flow 0f ‘Inch’ Lines

Demand Called Virtually Unlimited By Seripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, July 8. — The natural gas shortage throughout the

scheduled additional gas. As in the case of gasoline and petroleum products, the demand for natural gas today apparently is unlimited. The supply is adequate to meet all demands, but not enough steel can be procured for pipelines. Want to Cut In Since the Inch lines are the newest carrier of gas into the Midwest and East, a scramble is going on among companies along the line to be cut in on this gas. A number of companies not now receiving Inch gas have intervened in the hearings

“on allocation to begin before the

federal power commission today. Commission officials say that even with the best of weather this winter some industries will have to shut down. Some homes may be cold because of a shortage of natural gas. : A system ‘of idustrial rationing

_- has been worked out by most of the

-tect homes heated:

companies, however, which will proby gas. Under

“this system, companies short on gas

will cut off some industries when the temperature drops to a certain point, other idustries when it drops lower, and so on. :

Used Last Winter

Prospects for this winter would have been worse had not many gas companies in the Midwest shut off the sale of gas for new homes months ago, thus precluding installation of gas heating units. This situation exists throughout Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and most of New York. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, householders are not permtited to convert from coal to gas, but so far there are no restrictions on new homes. In Missouri, restrictions on use are in effect in localities served by

the Panhandle & Eastern Pipeline

Co. The northern National Gas Co. of Omaha now is. working out an arrangement to shut off certain industries in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota when

7 temperatures reach low points.

Bowling Alleys Shut West Virginia, a huge producer. of natural gas, has declined to restrict consumption so that other states might benefit. But during an emergency last winter, some establishments such as bowling alleys were closed by a governor’s proclamation to make more gas available outside the state. i

Companies that are able to ex-

. pand: their facilities find them-

selves in the same position as automobile dealers. The Natural Gas Pipeline ' Co. of America, which serves Chicago, is getting some new pipe which will increase its capacity 30 per cent this year. It maintains a list of proSpective customers and as the gas becomes available, company officials call the customer and tell him he can go ahead and convert to gas. Popularity of natural gds for home heating has grown by leaps and bounds. Part of this is due to John L. Lewis’ coal strikes, but even more is due to the fact that gas is the cleanest of fuels. Gas also is the only fuel which has not gone up in price. Not Optimistic James V, O'Connor, head of the federal power commission's division which authorizes the building of new gas pipelines, said he was not

' optimistic about the future because
