HELIUM SUPPLY

Senator Would Reserve Gas

WAsHrNGToN. Nov. 5.--Aroused

unless prompt steps are taken to
augment the present source OF sup
ply. Senator Charles Curtis. OF Kan

having the government place lands

SO the supply viii be preserved for

Curtis says that At the present
time untold quantities OF heIium.
bearing gas are being absolutely
wasted in Kansas. Oklahoma, Texas
and other Middle Western states be-
cause the owners In drilling for OIL
permit the gas 70 escape.
Il think the government ought to
acquire the lands rich in hellum gas
and conserve them until new heiium
plants can be erected or pipe lines
built connecting with the present
Fort Worth plant" Senator Curtis
said
IF necessary. the government
ought to condemn the lands"
The Kansas senator, republican
senate leader. says that much Of the
land is located on Indian reservations
so that il will be easy FOR the gov
eminent to prevent oil drilling there
until arrangements are made for uti-
lizing the helium gas
Curtis believes the question OF
helium supply will be one Of the
vital questions before congress in the
December session.
AT present all OF the helium used
In the Shenandoah, Los Angeles and
other dIrfgibles owned by the gov.
eminent, comes from the Petrolia
field and is manufactured in n plant
at Fort Worth. Tex. Because OF the
waning gas supply in this field the
present production Is barely adequate

Unless new fields are piped to the
