given some consumers more than
their share.
Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall has
urged that the public fight against
black marketing by refusing to
pay more than ceiling prices.
In statement, Arnall praised
the Super Market Institute, the
Philadelphia Hotel Association
for urging their members not to
pay above-ceiling prices.
Arnall predicted The shortage
would be relieved in the next four
to six weeks by the movement of
new potatoes to market. This early
crop is grown mostly in Florida,
Alabma, Texas and California.
But the shortage is not likely
to be fully overcome until the in
termediate crop is harvested. This
is grown in midland states-the
Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky
Arkansas, Maryland and New Jer-
sey.
Both he early and intermediate
crops this year are later than
uSual-a fact that is prolonging
the shortage. Weather conditions
and desire of growers to let their
potatoes grow to full size are fac
tors delaying marketings.
Nevertheless, agriculture Off
cials expect ample supplies by mid
June-and possibly lower prices.
The big question yet to be
answered is this: will the 1852
late crop be short again and cause
a similar situation a year from
now?
Preliminary surveys indicate
farmers may plant slightly less
land to potatoes this year than
last year because of opposition to
ceiling prices.

main pressure to that formerly

from the street main to the meter
and from the meter to the gas

Better gas service for West
Jefferson is needed because de-
livery of gas here has approx
mately doubled since 1916.
This increase is attributable
largely to the greater use of gas
for heating, according to Kidwell.
Today SO per cent of Ohio FUELS
customers in West Jefferson use
gas to heat their homes. In 1916,
the percentage was less than 1879

poets the heating load in West

basic gas supplies from out-of-
state sources.
Pending now before the Federal
Power Commission in Washington
is an application by a national
pipeline company for authority to
construct a line from Louisiana
to Kentucky.
The Texas Gas Transmission
Company, which is planning the
line, has contracted to deliver 95
million cubic feet of gas daily to
Ohio Fuel if the FPC approves its
application.
The Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio recently relaxed the ban
on gas heating installations, per-
mitting Ohio Fuel to approve
1920 new heating units. Ohio
Fuel has said that with the ap-
proval of the Texas Gas line, the
ban could be further relaxed.

Ohio Fuel To Install Gas
Pressure Regulators

The Ohio Fuel Gas Company
said today that $4,000 project
to step-up the company's ability to
deliver natural gas to West jeff
erson was started Monday May 10.
A major feature of the improve
ment will be the installation of in
dividual gas pressure regulators
in 532 homes and business build
ings at no cost to the customer.
F. E. Kidwell, London gas COM
pany manager, said the regulators
will be needed in connection with
change in gas pressures nec-
essitated by the community's con-
tinually increasing demand for
natural gas.

POTATO SHORTAGE IS RIvALINe
PIG KILLING FOR HOT DEBATE

WASHINGTON, LP,-This years
potato shortage seems to be pro-
viding just about as heated de-
bate on the federal farm programs
as did the government project of
killing little pigs to raise pork
prices in the early 1905.
Officials say there's considerable
criticism OF. ceiling on potato prices
and a lack of price supports.
The pig-killing program raised
such furor that, every time meat
has become scarce since then, the
Agriculture Department has been
flooded with an avalanche of mail
hardening back to those days. That
plan, sponsored by Henry A. Wal
lace, then the Agriculture Secre-
tary, was designed to boost hog
prices by reducing pork supplies.
The current potato shortage de-
veloped largely because farmers
cut production 20 per cent last
year. Most of this reduction came
in the late potato crop-that por-
ton which goes into storage for
use during the winter, spring and
early summer.
Farmers reduced their output
after congress directed the Agri-
culture Department to withdraw
price supports. because they had
cost the government more than
600 million dollars over a 10-year
period.
Fearing possible price collapse,
farmers turned to more promising
crops.
When it became apparent that
stocks might not be large enough,
prices started moving upward. The
Office of Price Sterilization stepp-
ed in with ceilings. But until cor
rected, inequities i'm ceilings as ap-
piled market by market served
to divert supplies to some markets
and away from others.
The shortage has been aggravat-
ed by black markets which have
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1952-05-23

The changeover from what the
company terms a low to an "in-
termediate" pressure system will
be completed before next winter,
Kidwell said. Customers will be
notified individually about when
to expect the regulators to be in
stalled on their properties. The
regulators will be placed near the
customers gas meters.
Mr.. Kidwell emphasized that
customers will be able to continue
using their gas-burning appliances
and equipment without making
changes. The regulators will con-
troll the flow of gas to each GUS
toner. They will reduce the gas

Stock Market Quiet
And Narrow; Slow"
Week in Prospect
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, July 27.-Wall
Street sat down in front Of a tele-
vision set today and watched the
Democratic National Convention.
The stock market as a conse-
lquence was unusually quiet and
lpriceS moved over a narrow range.
Biggest chances were around q
point either way. but the great
bulk Of the list was up or down
small fractions with many lead
|erS unchanged.
SteelS moved only an eighth or
so higher or lower, showing little
concern over the breakdown yes
Iterday In talks between the CIO
lSteelworkers and industry repre-
lsentatives.
Western Union Up.
Utilities were helped ahead by
Western Union, which gained bet
ter than q point. In the railroad
section Santa Fe lost around a
point and helped keep the divi-
sion in the mixed column.
High stocks included U. s. Steel,
Goodrich. Douglas Aircraft. Con-
ISolidated Edison, American Smelt-
ling. and Union Pacific.
Lower were u. S. Rubber, Ken
Inecott Copper. Union Carbide,
Philip Morris, Nickel Plate. and
Gulf Oil.
The market was steady at the
start today, although it ended on
Ia downbeat Friday.
Studebaker made good progress.
For the first six months the
company reported per share earn
jings of 1913 as against 1923 a
year ago with net sales Of around
1925 million as compared with
1924 million year ago.
Curb Mostly Steady.
On the curb, Colonial Air Lines
was active and higher. Over the
week end directors accepted the
offer of Eastern Air Lines to ac-
Iquire Colonial in an exchange of
three shares Of Colonial for two Of
Eastern. Stockholders and the
Civil Aeronautics Board must still
lapprove. On the big board East
lern was steady.
Canada Southern Oils was an
other actively higher curb stock
on news of another oil field dis
lcovery in western Saskatchewan.
The curb as a whole was steady.
Higher stocks included Hazeltine,
Seeman Bros. and Calgary & Ed
monton while on the downside
were Aro Equipment, Creole Pc
Itroleum, and Oklahoma Natural
Gas.
Corporate bonds were steady
and quiet. as were United States
Governments in the over the
counter market.
In the midst Of the uncertainty
and confused talk coming from
the Democratic convention, most
Wall Street observers felt that
the best thing to do was sit back
and take it easy.
