new PROCESS RAISES
OUTPUT OF GASOLINE
Refrigeration Discovery Aids Ger

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August Development Of
a INCORPORATION process applicable to
raw brown coal, by which the potential
gasoline output of its plants would be
increased from 100000 to $4,000 tons,
vas announced yesterday by the Igfar-
benindustrie.
Research men have developed cata-
Lying agents capable of fastening
chemical transformations during the
process, at the same time saving the
catalyzers for reutilization.
The research men were spurred in
their efforts by the apparent end of de-
velopment in the cracking process by
which gasoline is produced from oil.
Additional benefits Of the new process
will permit production and regulation
of various by-products to conform with
market fluctuations.
