that Madame Chang had left the

Realization OF the seriousness OF
commercial gas curtailment was
driven forcefully home to manu-
facturers Wednesday afternoon
when word went out that no gas
would be available for industrial
purposes today. That word was
issued after a statement had been
made that men would be allowed
TO manufacture only enough gas
for domestic use
The situation, definitely denying
manufacturers use Of gas, led
plant managers to figuring just
what that would mean in terms Of
production. Canvass OF the lead
ing factories brought reports OF
sharp reductions and in some cas-
es special arrangements for heat
processing in other cities.
At Central Specially Company,
designated as one OF the 95 crit
zeal foundries in the United States,

closing OF one Of two core ovens.
