Use Tribune Want Ads Federal Control Of Natural Gas Would Hike Cost Washington U.R) The Joint Committtee of Consumers and Small Producers of Natural Gas said today rigid federal regula tion Of natural gas production would cause gas prices to rise by stifling competition.' Former Mayor Alex M. Clark of Indianapolis, committee chair man, said the newly-formed com mittee supported a controversial bill that would exempt inde pendent gas producers from di rect federal regulation. ''The big Eastern gas utilities are trying desperately to deceive the public into believing that fantastically high prices will be forced on gas consumers unless a bureaucratic stranglehold is maintained on the producers," Clark said in a statement. Measure Defended Sens. A.S. Mike Monroney (D Okla.) and Andrew F. Schoeppel (R-Kan.) both from gas-producing states, heatedly defended the measure against an attack from Sen. Alexander Wiley (R) of gas consuming Wisconsin. In a speech yesterday before groups opposing -the bill, Wiley urged the public to send the Sen ate an "avalanche of protests" against the "evil" bill. He said chances are it will be approved by the Senate unless there is a "blizzard of protest." Schoeppel fired ' back in a statement that Wiley was merely echoing earlier charges by "the eastern utilities lobby." He said the - measure offers full protec tion against the "fantastic"' gas price increases predicted by Wiley. 1 Douglas Timber Sales Above Record for '54 Roseburg (U.R) Sales of na tional forest and bureau of land management timber in Douglas county last year was nearly dou ble 1954 sales.
