New Developments Threaten Supply.
Gas Go. Wiihholds Heating Approvals

heating filed with us in April, ;"
the company said. when future
conditions permit an easing of
restrictions, these applications
will be given first consideration
This offers little hope for til,
next heating season because it
is unlikely we can cut through
the many present uncertainties
before next winter"

bGIdhoG Ol new OGN0AOPliiSiAt
that threaten additional gas con-
tracted for use next winter, The
Ohio Fuel Gas Co. announced to-
day that it would not release ap-
prevails for additional gas home
heating at this time. The decis-
ion was made to protect our
present customers and to avoid
bad situation becoming worse"
the company said.
Delivery of additional gas for
which Ohio Fuel had contracted
for use next winter has become
uncertain, the company stated,
because of two development:
/. Delays in receiving steel pipe,
resulting from the period during
which the coal mines were idle.
2. Possible ALLEGATIONS of gas to
other areas by the Federal Power
Commission.
The company had planned to
approve additional gas space
heating equal to half of the new
homes constructed in its area this
year, and an equal number of
conversions to gas in homes heat
ed with other fuels, with prior
ity to medical hardship cases.
Possible Shortage
This program, the company
said, was based on estimates that
its gas supply by next Feb. !,
would be such that its gross
shortage on zero day would be
SO million cubic feet of gas. Much
of that shortage could have been
offset by industrial curtailment.
However, new circumstances in
dicate a possible shortage of 85
cubic feet on a zero day
next winter, without the accep-
ance of any additional gas space
heating, the company said This
figure is considerably beyond the
volume that industry can be cur
tailed.
Ohio Fuel, in detailing new de-
said that it has a
contract with the Panhandle East
ern Line Co. for so million cubic
feet of gas per day. However,
Panhandle has appealed to the
Federal Power Commission to re-
duce this quantity, and while the
case is pending Ohio Fuel is re-
ceiving only 25 million per day.
Beginning next Dec /, Ten
nessee Gas Transmission Corp.
was to increase by ITO million
cubic feet per day its deliveries
to the United Fuel Gas Co., from
which Ohio Fuel receives much |
of its gas. Because of delays in
steel pipe, Tennessee
Gas Transmission now says it will |
be able to increase its deliveries
only l05 million per day. United |
Fuel must cut its deliveries to
Ohio Fuel proportionaely.
A Federal Power Commission |
allocation has reduced by 10 mil
lion cubic feet daily the delivery
Of gas to the Columbia Gas Sys-
tenn from the Inch" lines. Res
of this 10 million de-
livery is uncertain, The Ohio
Fuel Gas Co. stated.
Storage
Meanwhile, much of the gas
rom these described sources
which was counted upon for un-
lerground storage this summer,
% be drawn upon next winter,
will not be available, the COM
1any pointed out.
Ohio Fuel, in its announcement.
promised continued efforts with
is sources of supply and before
he Federal Power Commission
o protect the gas which has been
contracted for the use of its
customers.

ions which necessitated with

WRAPS OFF-During his first few
months on the job, Civil Service
Commissioner James M. Mitchell re-
fused all invitations to speak before
various groups. He preferred to get
acclimated to his surroundings be-
fore disclosing his personnel and
civil service ideas.
Now, Mr.. Mitchell is ready to dis
cuss some of the civil service issues
of the day and his views on them
His first speech as Civil Service
Commissioner will be at 6:15 pm.
Thursday before the District Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees Unions,
an affiliate Of the National Fedora
ton Of Federal Employees. The place
is Barker Hall, YWCA, Seventeenth
and K streets NV.
He will follow this with q talk be-
fore the Society for Personnel Ad-
ministration at 6 pm. Monday,
December 6, in the Agriculture De-
partment cafeteria.
Mr.. Mitchell. who was the execu-
tive director of the Civil Service
Assembly before President Truman
appointed him to the commission,
has definite ideas about changes in
Government personnel policies. And
from now on, Government employees
are going to hear lot more about
them.
LOYALTY-The Federal Loyalty
Board has completed its hearings
in the case of William Remington,
suspended Commerce Department
ofncial. Its decision will probably
be forthcoming in week or two.
Loyalty board spokesmen frankly
say their decision will be difficult
due to the failure Of the key wit
ness in the case to show up. Eliza
beth T. Bentley, self-styled former
Red spy who had charged that
Mr.. Remington gave her vital infor-
nation during the war, refused to
appear at the hearing.
Consequently, the board was forced
to rely on the transcript of the
testimony before the House Com
mittee an I'm American Activities
The board could not question her,
and Mr.. Remington did not have
the opportunity Of cross-examining
her. .>
There's some talk that the board
might ask for subpoena powers in
future cases, which it lacks now.
