| Gull Natural Gas NOl POA dIAOAAi
newly incorporated under Louisi'
ana law, undertakes public financ.

pleted and is serving gas.
The corporation was formed last
March for the purpose OF con-
structing and operating a natural
gas transmission pipe line system.
Its initial service included plant
of the South Coast Corporation at
Mathews, La. with other exten-
sions in contemplation and con-
tracts already signed for service
to other industrial plants in the
area.
Authorized capitalization con-
sists of $4,000 shares Of cumula-

J. E. POGUE SPEAKS
The American Gas Association
held its annual meeting at At
lantic City today and heard JOS
eph E. Pogue, vice prtSident OF
the Chase National Bank, say that
the natural gas industry, still
young, and facing opportunities
for further expansion, should be
treated as an industry requiring
creative rate regulation" instead
of the present type of protective
regulation" that hinderS rather
than encourages the development
of new enterprise for the economic
good of the country.
The marketed production Of
natural gas has increased six
fold, Pogue said, and will un"
doubtedly call for the tapping Of
additional productive areas. Mean
while nothing has been done to
coordinate interstate regulation
and Standardization of practice.
he said.
THE greatest deficiency in
the practice of rate regulation"
he said, sis the absence of a
broad concept of the industry
as an economic organism, whose
interest as a whole should be
harmonized with those of the
consumer, the investor, the
worker and the management;
for lacking this coordination, or
if the requirements of the in
dustry as a whole are violated,
then the long-term interests Of
those Immediately concerned
are not best served. growth is
interfered with, and the poten-
tial standard of living is low

With high Government officials
Army and Navy officers and military
attaches and representatives of many
foreign governments as witnesses, Karl
P. Billner, noted inventor, will erect
a 50-ton pillbox fort tomorrow morn
ing at the Bureau of Standards in
about five hours. The pillbox fort
will be built Of vacuum concrete, revo-
lutionary invention hailed as one Of
the 10 basic patents registered in 20
nations.
According to Frank L. Dyer, former
chief patent attorney to Thomas A.
Edison, the new method of construct
ing overnight defense forts is done
by squeezing out excess water from
concrete and removing it by suction Z"
This he terms an invention "of real,
vital and revolutionary character" 4"
In the event of an attack on Wash
ington it would be possible to build
bomb proof shelters and forts all
around the city as fast as the mate
rial can be transported. This is the
promise of the inventor who will dem
onstrate his revolutionary method to-
morrow morning. 1t is born out by
tests made recently at Harvard Uni

laboratories where the substance was

Mr. Dubinskys union became one of
the original members of the c. I. o.
more than two years ago and was
suspended from the A. F. of L.. with
