in today's newspapers announc-
ing that it would attempt "to

HOME, May 2 Production of syn
thetic ammonia is announced by Dr.
Casale, prominent in the Italian
chemical industry, who says ho has
solved the problem by the use of
special machinery and a chemical re
agent of his own invention.
The process requires no material
except air and water and works auto
matically without expense for atten
tion, energy or material. It forces a
mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen
thru catalyzing tubes at a pressure of
250 atmospheres and transforms the
two gases into pure ammonia.
Dr. Casale expects soon to employ
un'ts that, will enablo Italy to have
300,000 tons of a;:::;:r.!a for fertiliz
ers each year, besides surplus produc
tion fnr export.
