Public Welfare 10 Mail
July Relief Checks Toniqhi

July relief checks will be mailed
out tonight following a transfer
of funds from the Treasury De-
partment, Frank Hally, assistant
auditor in the Public Welfare De-
partment, said today.
The checks had been delayed
because the money had not been
turned over from the Social Sc
curity Agency, which contributes
half the relief share here.
When the July checks did not
arrive on schedule, hundreds
called the Public Assistance Divi-
sion in the Welfare Department
to report they were suffering
hardships.
The checks, totaling about
$409, 900, have been made ready
to mail, awaiting only the trans
fer of the funds.

Gas Industry
Gets Hearing
On U. 5. Curbs
Petroleum Board
Takes Council Data
On Proposed Controls

Government officials today called
more than 80 representatives OF
the natural gas industry to dis
cuss Federal restrictions proposed
to cope with a threatened gas
shortage next winter.
The industry men met with
officials of the Petroleum Ad-
ministration for Defense, which
has drawn up a proposed order
which would cut off natural gas
to heat homes of additional GUS
toners, and require PAD approval
of any new 'large-volume" Gus
toners.
No final action on the tentative
order is expected until early next
month.
Meanwhile, the proposal drew
strong protest from the Gas APP
pliance Manufacturers Associa-
tion, which declared in a state
ment that the impending order
would ruin a great many COM
panies, large and small, employing
thousands of people dependent
upon the public's use of available
gas supplies"
July % Session Set.
Bruce K. Brown, deputy admin
istrator of PAD, called the meet
ing for some members of the Gas
Industry Advisory Council, q body
of more than 60 officials which
will study the situation further at
a session July %.
The Interior Department official
cited stepped-up defense needs
and increased civilian use of gas
as factors in the threatened
shortage. but placed heaviest
blame on inadequate steel allo-
cations for construction of pipe
lines needed to transmit main
supplies from sources in the Gulf
States.
PAD officials said shortages
may develop in many areas, but
particularly in the Appalachian
region.
If the Federal order is issued
on a nationwide basis, officials
said, machinery will have to be set
up to permit liberal exemptions in
cases of hardship and in areas
where there are adequate supplies.
Federal Participation Opposed.
In a statement, H. Leigh White
law, manager director of the ap-
pliance manufacturers group,
urged that restrictions be handled
through petitions to public service
commissions. rather than at a
Federal level. He said association
members feel ANY limitation
order on a national basis is unnec-
essary. even though subject to ap-
peal for relief"
The manufacturers. citing high
inventories of new equipment, also
have flooded Offices of the Senate
Small Business Committee with
protests. Chairman Sparkman
told a reporter he has been looking
into the problem, but plans no
committee probe of the situation
at this time.
In line with the associations
recommendation for action at the
local level, petitions already have
been filed with utility regulatory
bodies n the District and in sub
urban Maryland and Virginia, re-
questing supplies be restricted for
any new natural gas customers
for heating purposes.

Wiley said:
"The more preoccupied the Rus
SLAMS are with their own internal
difficulties and disturbances, the
less they will feel they could rely
on their own and satellite peoples
and to that extent war pressure
would be eased"

to the effort to fOment difficulties

'The Russians are infinitely

trouble making then we are" he
said. He added that Communist
China is particularly vulnerable
because of the large number of pro

its borders.
