S13 Million to Be Spent
On Port of Baltimore

BALTIMORE (AP). - The
Maryland Port Authority has
announced it will spend nearly
$13 million to build three ad-
ditional ship berths and mod
ernize another newly acquired
terminal.
The Improvement plans are
especially significant coming
only a month since the Port
of Baltimore lost in the SUI
preme Court its long railroad
freight rate advantage over
New York and New England
John L. Kronau, authority
chairman, said.
Baltimore had enjoyed freight
rates 3 to 8 cents a hundred
pounds lower than the north
ern coast points since 1877. A
Massachusetts, Federal court
ruled them out and the SUI
preme Court by a A vote
May 20 failed to reverse it.
This controversy will slim
ulate a vigorous drive for new
cargo and improved facilities
in the Port of Baltimore. Mr..
Kronau added.

prosperity.
With research progress and
problems foremost on theil
minds, coal industry represen-
tatives gathered here last week
for the 46th anniversary con-
vention Of the National Goa
Association.
Senator Randolph, Democrat
of West Virginia, the leading
oal-producing State, spoke FOL
many coal men last week wher
he said, 1.-THE coal research pro-
gram is underfinanced and Il
moving too slowly. 1t is en-
counterine too many handi-
Gaping and retarding obsta'
cles."
Other speakers, however
were more optimistic as they
outlined some Of the more
promising research programs.
Coal research, as every school
boy knows, has been going or
for many years. Long age
science learned how to break
coal down into its various parts
and to produce such wondrou'
by-products as plastics, miracle
drugs and synthetic fibers. But
successful results Of other re-
search-to extract a chear
gasoline, for instance-have re.
manned elusive.
In an 11-year period from
1914 to 1855, under the Syn
thetic Fuels Act, the Govern
ment spent approximately So
million in an effort to refine
gasoline from coal. (The Ger
mans, not concerned about the
cost, made q high-octane coal
gasoline as early as 1885 tC

Gasoline Too Costly
United States scientists

the gasoline, Of course, but
were never able to make the
cost competitive with petro-
leum. The Interior Depart

lied by Congress.
It also is experimenting, un-
der Project Bootstrap, with
ways to produce q coal gas
that would be competitive with
natural gas.
Research scientists and engi-
neers have, over the years
come up with various other
ideas and schemes to regain
lost coal markets, and to tap
new ones. In 1855, for instance
q new-type locomotive was de-
signed, which--it was theor-
ized-would put the railroads
back on coal power. The engine
would have burned coal to heat

coal merchant, "is that you

Faced with those stiff de-
mands from the modern con-
sumer, the coal industry has
been having q rough time. Old
markets have dried up and very
few new ones have come along
to replace them. No one wants
to shovel coal any more, or
breathe coal dust. or battle
SCOT, or pay high freight costs.
Unless, as the housewife says,
a better way can be found to
package 1t, coal - the most
abundant natural fuel in the
United States-faces a gloomy
future indeed. Looming on the

threatening to take away Goals
principal remaining industrial
customer, the electric utilities.
Goals prospects are not all
black, however. There is mount
ing evidence, based on reports
this week, that the industry's
decades-old research program
may soon bear fruit.
Steadily Loses Ground
For four decades, coal has
steadily lost ground to such
Johnny-come -latelys as petro-
leum and natural gas. In 1920,
coal accounted for nearly 80
per cent Of all energy fuel con-
sumed In this country; 40 years
later 1t accounted for less than
rs per cent.
The industry has not been
idle during these years. Many
millions Of dollars have been
spent by the Government and
the industry In trying to i'm
prove GOALS appearance, versa
tility and production and
transportation costs. Research
scientists have attempted to
make coal flow through a pipe
like oil and gas, to extract
from 1t the components such
as gasoline that could open
vast new markets, and to re-
move the Objectionable SCOT
and ash.
Science has been able to do
all these things and more-in

ring the laboratory techniques
to actual plant production,
where volume and cost are
vital, has been more difficult.
