~~ Cut Gas Use i Three Pittsburgh gas comee |panies ordered industrial plants! lin a five-state area to cut their {use of natural gas to 50 to 100 per cent to conserve fuel supplies {for residential users. Plants affected were located in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio. Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. said it would be forced to lay off workers due to the order but Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. hoped to substitute other types of fuel wherever possible. Rain, which had held back the cold wave in the southland, be|gan freezing today and the wea‘ther bureau warned that northern Georgia, and the Carolinas might be coated with ice this morning. Forecasters said it was doubtful that the ice forming in 30degree temperatures would melt during the day. . The cold weather slowed transportation in the New York area. High speed trains such as the “Twentieth Century” and ‘‘Pacemaker” were five hours late from Chicago.
