that more is now being spent on this one problem by the petroleum industry than was being spent on catalytic ofl cracking 10 years ago. In addition ‘there is a very large government research and development program with which the private industry is in close touch. Under the total program fit is to be expected that the petroleum industry will continue as the supplier of liquid fuels and the chief supplier of gaseous fuels, regardless of the raw materials from which these vital commodities are made,

Two Plants Being Rebuilt, Two giant planfs are already in construction in the United States to convert natural gas into liquid fuels. Natural gas is an ideal fuel for practically every stationary use, they stated, and many are questioning the economic wisdom of diverting this ideal fuel from stationary uses to I mobile- uses by converting it to synthetic liquid fuels, a process hat viilisen halt its energy con-

demands for liquid fuels, and that natural gas reserves have been al [increasing at a faster rate than the marketed production of na5] | tural gas, although this has been al (doubling every 11 years, Advances = American research developd/ment of the German Fischer1 process of making syn-
