Washington, April 18.—Two ap-| plicants for nautral gas from the: i Transcontinental pipeline suggested ( to the Federal Power Commission; today that the service to Laurens. Clinton. Nwberry and Blacksburg' S. C., be limited so that the small amount of gas available might be spread as widely as possible. Public Service Company of North Carolina, with offices at Gastonia^ .asked the commission to throw out' the application of Carolina Natural Gas Corporation of Charlotte. Pub- 1 lie service, which proposes to serve many North Carolina* cities, also expressed doubt as to the feasibility | of service to the South Carolina; customers. Carolina Natural would serve Rock Hill, S. C. I i Congressman Joseph R. Bryson of the Fourth South Carolina Dis trict said he had asked the com-! mission to grant gas to Laurens and Clinton, which are in his dis-j trict, aid he thinks a favorable de cision will come soon. Public service in its final brief Uo the commission said: • “The projects of the City of Lau- : rens and of J. W. Goodwin on be-! half of the cities of Clinton and Newberry are not in the public in-j terest, in that the necessary trans- mision lines to serve the City of; Laurens and the Cities of Clinton i and Newberry would be clearly duplicating facilities. There had not even been direct negotiations for a joint transmission line project ! of the three cities prior to the close of the further hearings, indeed, the Cities of Clinton and Newberry have not even allocated financial ; responsibility on their own pro posed transmission line without the ' participation of Laurens. As to J. W. Goodwin, intervenor for the cities of Clinton and New berry, the Gastonia company said: Neither city as distinguished from J. W. Goodwin, has shown that it is prepared to go forward with a natural gas project of any kind. “The initial amount of natural gas requested by Goodwin for the third-year peak day was 1,828 MCF for Newberry and 2,041 for Clinton, with an additional 2.822 MCF for ( peak day industrial interruptible sales in Clinton. However, in the course of the hearings, other studies were presented for Goodwin on the 1 basis of lesser amounts. “The evidence fails to establish the feasibility of the proposed , projects. The underlying market and engineering data are subject j to serious question. “The evidence fails to establish the financial feasibility of the proj ect herein . x x x “The proposed market for the Laurens municipal system consists mostly of sales of gas to the Lau rens Glass Works. “The sale of $800,000 of revenue , bonds, to be sold on a twenty-or thirty-year basis, was considered by the city’s financial witness to oe feasible in the light of the payment ^ i of interest out of principal during the first two years and of alleged projected revenues for 20 and 30 1 years, a projection which appears 1 : highly unrealistic.” PC ROIC Juniors Prepare for Six Weeks Summer Camp Junior class members of Presby terian college’s reserve officers training corps unit this week took over command of the military bat talion to sharpen up their “voice and command” abilities in prepara tion for a six-w r eek summer en campment at Fort Benning, Ga., be ginning in June. The third-year ROTC students also get a shot in the army to help boost them over the rough spots ahead. They fell out Monday morn ing and' received a typhoid shot, their first in a series of innocula- tions to be given them before leav ing for camp this summer. After taking their shots, the future ca det officers returned to the drill field to take command in an im pressive ceremony. Acting battalion commander for the first two weeks is Cadet Dwight Groninger, of Akron, Ind. His executive officer is Cadet Rob ert Atkinson of Winnsboro. New company commanders are Cadets Mason Stevenson and Kir-| by Jackson, both of Sumter, and Lewis Hawkins of Plymouth, Ind. Other members of the class are holding down other command po sitions within the battalion. Every two weeks the juniors will shift positions so each man will have a chance to serve in each com mand position. PC students will leave tor their 1951 summer encampment at Tort Benning June 16. There they will undergo a rugged six-weeks train ing course in infantry tactics and weapons. Read The Chronicle-Y our Neighbor Doe* Dr. Fred E.
