Natural Gas Boom.

The article reports on the expected increase in natural gas production and consumption in the U.S. in1942. A priority regulation is being prepared by the War Production Board (WPB) to assure the supply of natural gas for use in civilian and war industry and it is also planning to control the industry. One significant factor that will contribute to consumption growth is the expansion of firms producing gas-suing equipment for industrial use. A survey designed to avert shortage of natural gas is being conducted by the Federal Power Commission and the WPB.
