: New York - (UPD - With a

cleared, the natural gas in-
d u s t r y has
trained its
sights on du

fabulo u s
growth of the
past decade.
The $23 bil

nation's fifth

terms of plant investment -but
further and more rapid
expansion is yet to come.
Natural gas fulfills about
, 30 per cent of total U.S. en

: per cent in 1946. The na
tion's energy requirements
, are expected to increase 72
. per cent by 1975, and in
order to meet this need, the
natural gas industry hopes to
increase its competitive posi

about 80 per cent.
The way is being paved by

volving increases of around
$420 million a year collected
under bond.
Also significant is the
FCC's raising of the permis
sible return above the historic
6 per cent on Invested capital.
In several decisions the return
was boosted to 6Vi per cent.
The FCC also granted a
larger return on production
properties, subject to future
disposition of tax credits from
well drilling and depletion.
It is going to take sub
stantial sums of money to fi
nance the industry's goals.
Present schedules are for
capital outlays of more than
$8 billion in the four-year
period 1960-63 - 26.6 per cent
more than the S6.7 billion
spent in the 1955-59 period.
The American Gas associ
ation estimates that 39 per
cent of the required funds
will be generated internally,
45 per cent from the sale of
bonds and debentures, and 16
per cent from the sale of com
mon and preferred stocks.

number of household custo
mers has more than doubled
in 10 years, and more than
quadrupled since-1940.
There are more than 8,000
natural gas producers, but
about half of the proven re
coverable reserves are owned
by 30 major oil companies.
Sold To Pipeline Firms
The output of the large
number of independent pro
ducers is sold to about 100
interstate pipeline companies
who in turn sell it to more
than 1,300 distributing com
panies and municipalities for
retail sale to all types of cus
tomers. Despite estimates of ulti
mate domestic natural gas
reserves of from 1,200 to
1,700 trillion cubic feet, the
natural gas industry is con
ducting a vigorous research
program aimed at the de
velopment of processes for
producing synthetic natural
gas, or an equivalent gas,
from the oil shales, low grade
coals, and other abundant
natural resources.
While these processes are
not yet competitive with
natural gas production, an
AGA spokesman believes they
will be by the time the syn
thetic gas is needed to sup
plement the natural product.

Of Journal Item
Ashland - Dr. E. C. McGill,
assistant to the president and
director of academic affairs at
Southern Oregon college, had
an article "Boys in Business
Education" published in the
November issue of the Kansas
Vocational Journal, a national
magazine for persons interest
ed in vocational and practical
arts education.
In his article, Dr. McGill
points out the fact that too
many young men fail to take
advantage of business courses
until they are ready to enter
the labor field and then must
get this knowledge through
night courses and on the job
training.
He also feels that in this
age when our nation is the
world's leading business and
economic power that boys can
not afford not to take advan
tage of high school business
courses.
Dr. McGill's background in
commercial education is ex
tensive and he has to his
credit a doctoral thesis on "A
Study of Business Skills and
Knowledges Used by Business
and Non - Business People,'
which won the New York Uni
versity founder's day award
in 1956.
Dr. McGill also is co-author
of the complete course in
briefhand which is a widely
used text in business and aca
demic skills. Over 100 of his
articles have been published
in professional periodicals and
year books.
Besides his adminstrative
duties at SOC, Dr. McGill in
structs courses in economics,
labor economics, and public
finance.

Portland's November
Rainfall 10.65 Inches
Portland-iUPIl-Portland had
its wettest November since
1942.
The Weather Bureau an

in the city for November. The
record is 14.40.
A total of 3.57 inches of

Kennedy Holding
149,202 Margin
In Record Voting
Washington-IUPD-The record
high vote in the 1960 presi
dential election apparently
will fall just short of 69 mil
lion ballots.
With official figures certi
fied by 26 states, and all but
a fragment of the votes count
ed in the other 24, the unoffi
cial United Press Internation
al tabulation was:
Kennedy 34,181,777
Nixon 34,032,575
Others 473,630
Total 68,687,982
President-elect John F. Ken
nedy thus held a slim 149,202
vote margin over Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon as the
tabulating drew toward a
finish.
Smallest Since 1888
Kennedy's margin is the
smallest since 1888, when
Democrat Grover Cleveland
won the popular vote count
by 90,728 ballots but lost the
election because Republican
Benjamin Harrison received
more electoral votes.
Kennedy has 50.109 per
cent of the two party vote,
and Nixon 49.981-a difference
of 0.218 per cent.
Kennedy's 0.218 margin-if
it holds through the final
count-would break the 1884
record for the closest percent
age in history. The 0.30 rec
ord was posted when Cleve
land edged Republican James
G. Blaine by 29,341 votes.
According to today s tabu
lation, Kennedy has 49.76 per
cent of the total vote, Nixon
has 49.54 per cent and minor
party candidates 0.70 per cent.

pal bus driver Wlllttm T.
Johnson called his office
Thu.sday to report he had
been drinking on duty and
driving past would-be passen
gers standing in the rain.
But he had an excuse.
Johnson said a young man
boarded the bus with a .45
caliber pistol and a half pint
of vodka, which he ordered
the driver to drink. He forced
Johnson to drive past bus
stops to the end of the line,
where he took $46 from the
driver and $9 from the only
passenger.
I never dring anything
stronger than milk, and I was
really high on that vodka,"
Johnson said. "1 didn't want
to antagonize him by not
drinking because my passen

The gunman, who was later
captured, wasn't nearly as gal
lant. He didn't even offer the
lady a drink.
