GAS SUPPLY WORSE
/. THAN LAST YE AR

[By Associated Press tc The Bannerl
PITTSBURGH, June 30-A natur-
al gas shortage, 80 per cent worse
than the shortage of last winter, was
predicted by John b. Corrin, vice
premdent and general marnger of
the Reserve Gas Co.. a subsidiary of
the Hope National Gas Co., at yes
terday's hearing on the Steptoe law
before Federal Commissioner Levi
Cooke.
Mr.. Corrin said:
Gas companies for the last five
years have been making every effort
to find new gas fields. Aside from
the McKeesport field nothing prom
Using in new field has been devel
oped. Operators also are drilling to
an extreme depth, with little success
Gradually the natural gas supply is
declining. Last winter we were un
able to meet demands and l believe
that next year it will be so per cent
worse"
The hearing will continue here
through the remainder of the week
and probably a part of next week
1t will be resumed in Columbus.
