ing demand for natural gas dur
ing the next Is years, producers
must find more than twice as
much as is now available.
To find this additional gas, the
producer must be assured of a
reasonable profit. He cannot af-
ford to take the risks and spend
the tremendous sums involved in
finding and developing new gas
reserves, unless there is oppor-
tunity to reap a reward commen-
surate with the risk involved.
If any reader of the column
questions that natural gas is an
important factor in production,
here is a fact to dispel that
doubt: In Texas one aluminium
plant and one chemical factory
together, require as much gas
for their operations as all the
homes in Detroit, Milwaukee and
Kansas City combined.
MIR. McCollum concluded his
talk to the annual meeting OF
the Metropolitan Petroleum AS
sociation as follows:
''The Importance of the con-
tribution of natural gas and oil
to Our American way of life, is
shown by the fact that they fur.
nish 65 percent of the nations
fuel requirements, with natural
gas alone supplying "a percent.
Harm either of these energy
sources and the effect is bound
to be felt throughout the coun.
try in reduced productivity anG
a lower standard of living.
Such a backward step is not
cannot ze, compatible with oul
natural tradition and philosophy
This is no time to be pulling ur
the roots of our prosperity"
And this columnist's conclu
sion is that the Federal Power
Commission had better reconsi
der price controls on natural ga!
at the wellhead. If, as the result
of these price controls, gas stop!

In the farm field, new lows
are expected in farmer income
before there can be any better
ment. The government reports
there is plenty of credit for the
, farmers, but the fact is there are
huge increases already made in
farm debt. The farm income for
1854 will likely be the lowest in
a decade. Some brighter spots
are seen in an increase in exports
of farm products, mostly cotton.
The figure amounted to total
of $213 million in July, an 8 per
cent increase over last July.
Customarily exports Of farm
products reach a low point dur
ing July of each year and the
volume for the month this year
was $54 million below the June
total and the lowest for any
month since January. At the
same time Agricultural imports
have been cut about 8 per cent
from July last year or about $500
million for the month. However
non competitive imports such as
rubber, coffee, carpet wool ac-
counted for about SIP million
Of the total.

mitted to tell the people that
smoking cigarettes are bene-
ficial to health in any respect;
or that smoking any brand of
cigarette is not harmful or non
irritating; that by virtue of the
length, or filter method of manu-
facture, or any other reason that
one brand of cigarette contains
less nicotine in the smoke, or
tars or resins than any other
| brand; that they cannot refer
to the throat, larnyx, lungs, nose,
digestion, nerves, or doctors, in
their advertising; that they
should not use any phase or
word to imply medical approval
of any cigarette.

cost was not too difficult. Still,
some layoffs occurred even then.
The situation now would have
been much more difficult, since
the Governments employment
has been on a tight budget.
Agency officials were preparing
for a reduction of about $4,000
jobs II the pay raise had become
law. At least so per cent Of this
could have been achieved through
attrition-not filing vacancies.
But this still would have meant

However, it failed to win APP

to object to the legislation.
Employe leaders were worried
that the legislation could result
in the abolition of various Fed
