AS the order stood finally, it
directed:
1-Curtailment of the use of
fuel gas by all factories, short
OF damage to equipment.
2-Reduction of the use of
gas as far as possible by all
schools and other public build
ings. In addition, all house,
holders were asked to turn
down their thermostats to 65
degrees if they use gas for
heating.
COLD Is BLAMED
The reason given for the order
was the acute shortage of gas
caused by the protracted cold spell
in the affected area, worst since
the start of the war. Ohio cities
have been hard hit and gas des-
tined for other states must be
diverted to Ohio.
