The subject of natural gas became
an explosive issue here almost over
night, but the presSures behind the
blast had been building up for years.
AS late as three months ago Off
cials were saying that there would be
no gas shortage this winter. Geol-
ogiSts assured the Government that
there was enough natural gas in
known fields in the Southwest to
keep the whole country supplied for
so years or more.
Business was booming for the peo-
pie who supply gas and install ap-
pliances. Pipelines branched out as
more and more cities flocked to get
in on the natural gas bonanza.
Only relatively short time ago,
Baltimore was added to the growing
list Of cities which use natural gas
for cooking and heating. Communi-
ties in Virginia, which had been
using manufactured gas exclusively,
saw pipelines come in to bring them
cheaper natural gas. Other COM
munities in that State made plans
to bring the pipelines into their areas.
The furor broke loose when the
big wholesaler" of natural gas in
this area-Columbia Gas System
asked the Washington Gas Light Co.
to stop taking on new heating clients.
Making similar requests in Mary
land and in Virginia, Columbia ex-
planned that if more heating Gus
toners were taken on there wouldn't
be enough gas to go around.
Shortages Elsewhere
And before long there were re-
ports that the use Of gas heat would
be restricted in other areas, too.
Had the Nations gas reserves sud-
denly dried up? Not at all. There
still was plenty of gas in the fields,
but the problem had become one of
distribution.
1t appeared to be question of
getting too many customers, too fast.
The pipelines were too small to bring
in all the gas that was needed, and
plans for new major pipelines from
the gas fields were Stymied by the
shortage of steel.
With ITS million tons of plate steel
needed to build the pipelines, it
was like looking into clouded
crystal ball to try to tell when the
steel would be available.
The major use Of steel for defense
tanks. armored cars, tankers, ETC.
is sheet steel. heavier than plate.
When a steel mill makes sheet, it
can't make plate. The gas companies
Evening star., 1951-09-02

needed for the expansion of busi-
ness into new territories.
But everybody wanted steel at once,
and it became hard to get. Despite
the shortages, feeder pipelines spread,
reaching their fingers constantly into
new areas. But the major projects,
the big pipelines to carry the gas
from the fields, begged down.
There were plenty of plans on pa
per, but they failed to materialize
into pipelines.
Columbia Gas, familiar with the
problem of shortages. sought the vol
untary ban both on installing new or
converted gas furnaces
PAD Crooks Down
Then the Petroleum Administra-
tion for Defense, worried about the
prospect of industry lacking gas for
defense production, announced that
it would issue it's own order for areas
served by Columbia Gas-Maryland,

government. The other would be a
marketing company, which would
send Trans oil to all the worlds
enthusiastically those in Western
Europe and the Orient. The British
would be willing to split the profits
$3.50.
Slow With Concessions
While Britain thus has completely
accepted naturalization of Trans oil
properties, and is willing to turn them
over to the Iranians with some ar
rangement for compensation, the
Iranian government has been very
slow to make any concessions on the
latest British proposals.
The Teheran government is willing
to accept creation of a new market
ing company. But it has rejected the
idea of new production company,
contending that it would be nothing
more than the old AIOC in new dress
and that it would meddle just as
much in Iranian internal affairs as
the AIOC did.
Furthermore, Iran rejects a $3.50
split as long as the British demand
compensation for the nationalized
properties. If compensation must be
made, Teheran argues, then all
profits should go to Iran.
AS far as employment of Britons is
concerned-and Iran makes no bones
about having to use them to operate
the oil induStrys-Dr. Mossadegh de-
mands that they sign individual con-
tracts with the Iranian National Oil
Co.. for which they would work under
conditions and at rates of pay comp
arabic with those of the AIOC.
Thumbs Down on Contracts
The British contention is that
British technicians must work in the
employ of British company,
whether it be the AIOC or some sue
cessor therto. They insist that the
technicians will not sign Iranian con-
tracts Therefore, British COM
pany is necessary in order to get
them back to work.
This is the crux of the dispute as
it stands. although there are numer-
Gus other problems to be solved be-
fore Iran and Britain can cooperate
in exploiting the oil fields. The con-
ferences broke down last week on the
issue of the employment of British
technicianS.
Perhaps thrown into the situation
as trial balloon-although Ameri-
can officials, including Mr. Hartman,
deny any knowledge of twas the
proposal that the United States pro-
vide director to run the oil indus
try for both Iran and Britain. If it
was motivated by desire to get re-
action, the purpose was promptly full
filled. The British reacted sharply
and unfavorably to any such idea
It's matter of national prestige with
them. 1t wasn't necessary to find
out how the Iranians felt about it.
But while all these questions re-
main unSolved, Iranian oil has dis
appeared from world markets and
demands are being filled from new
sources. Iran is fast losing her for
mer customers, as Mr.. Hartman
pointed out.
Whatever decision is reached on
resumption of oil operations, the re-
coVery of those markets will be diff
ferent.
With Mr. Hartman gone from Te-
heran. Ambassador Henry Grady re-
mains-for the present at least-as a
possible point of contact for further
mediation between Iran and Britain
But for the present no new initia-
tives are being taken, as the cooling
of" period is given time to take
effect.

many of them, it must have seemed
just another war-lord clash.
After Nanchang, Mao assembled
patchwork army consisting mostly of
peasants in Human Province. It's up
risings failed, and Mao was drummed
out of the Politburo. In addition to
his military fiascos, Mao adopted the
unauthorized program of organizing
Soviets," and the Central Committee
had to crack down in the interest
OF harmony with the Comintern.
Mao was criticized for reliance on
military force" and for carrying out
activity without regard for devel-
opments in the cities.
Toke to the Hills
But party criticism was of small
moment to Mao. He retreated to
the mountainous Human Kiangsi
border and set in motion his un-
orthodox peasant-Soviet strategy
that was to lead the Communists
to success All this was done under
a cloud of official disfavor, without
the sanction of the party leader
ship and most likely without the
knowledge of Moscow.
Within two years. while the party
leadership in Shanghai continued it's
unsuccessful program of organizing
OF the industrial proletariat, the
Red Army had set up soviet in
Kiangsi Province

Captain Geralds, who personally com

peddlers and addicts are considered by the

The Police Department, in addition to
Federal narcotics agents, will continue its

The duties of Mexico's Interior
Department., in which both Ruiz
Confines and Aleman trained, are
somewhat different from those Of
that department in the United States.
1t is charged with introduction of all
resolutions for legislative enactment.
publication of laws, vigilance over
the observance of constitutional
rights and has much to do with rela-
tions among the executive, legisla-
tive and judicial branches and the
state governments.
1t is expected that Ruiz Confines,
If he is elected, will continue good
neighbor relations with the United
States about the same as the dy-
manic Aleman, who exchanged cor.
dial official visits with President Tru-
man. That has been Mexican policy
under the last two Presidents.
Ruiz Confines has been accused Of
being too friendly with the Yankees.
Only few years ago he took an ac-
tive part in drive to promote tour
ism. A large part of this business
naturally would come from the
United States. But he could have
been motivated more by the fact that
tourist dollars were regarded as one
OF Mexico's greatest sources of ex-
change, rather than by desire for
Mexicans to get to know Americans
better.
Compromise Choice
Ruiz Confines was in politics as far
back as 1914. He was mayor Of Vera
Cruz when Woodrow Wilson sent
United States troops to that port.
That he is veteran of so many years
may explain why he has never de-
flned his attitude toward the United
States. Nationalism Is too strong for
any shrewd politician to appear to be
over friendly with the colossus Of
the north"
Until recently it had seemed that
3 Mayor Casa Aleman Of Mexico City,
who is no relation to the President,
would be the PRI choice. But for
mer Presidents Cardenas and Avila
Camacho. who are still powerful in
the party. along with President Ale
man. repeatedly opposed him, and
Ruiz Confines was the compromise
selection of rival factions.
At one point there was talk Of
changing the constitution to allow
President Aleman to continue for
another six-year term, but the tradi-
ton Of no reelection has long pre-
vailed. Even the popular Aleman
probably would have run into trou-
bic fouting it.
The only candidate so far in the
field in opposition tc Ruiz Confines
is Miguel Hendriquez Guzman, choice
, of the Federation of Peoples Parties,
a comparatively new political unit.
Selection of a new President will
be put up to the Mexican voters next
July 6. but on the basis of experience
through the years it is virtually inn
possible for any administration cam
didate to be defeated.

in his spare time. Some sources say
he is a faithful worker, but lacking
in color. He Is described as an
efficient man with no bitter enc
mics and few ardent friends" chosen
because he was good compromise
candidate.
In Britain. campaigning is limited
to mere 20 days. In the United
States there are four months be-
tween party conventions in June and
July and the election early in No
vember. But Mexico. which acts in
the more leisurely manner. takes its
time. The election. which will be
held next July 6. is still more than
eight months away. And the next
President will not be inaugurated
until December, 1852. when the term
OF President Miguel Aleman expires.
Come From Verocruz
Like his good friend Aleman, Ruiz
Confines came up from the governor
ship OF Veracruz and the Job Of
Interior Secretary. He has spent
most Of his political life in the fed
eral government. Rising from MOD
est positions in Interior, he held
assistant and undersecretary posts
before heading the department.
