Harmon Supply Increase Legislation Featured h North Carolina's economy, which during the last nine months has shown real signs of recovery, Is now severely theatened by a critical shortage of na tural gas. ■ 'In previous Washington Reports, I have expressed my real concerns about our Nation's ever- decreasing supplies of natural gas. I have discussed with you legislative proposals I submitted to Congress which I believed would In crease domestic produc tion of natimal gas. Un fortunately, the majority leadership In the Congress has failed to adopt any significant legislation for Increasing our Nation's domestic energy sup plies," said Rep. James BroyhUl. It Is fortunate that our Nation has experienced unusually mild winters In recent years and the energy crisis which many ' of us genuinely feared never occurred. Norih' Carolina and much of the Nation this winter, however, are experiencing perhaps the most severe winter In over a decade. As a residt, consumption of natural gas, despite a variety of conservation measures adopted by the North Carolina Utilities Commission, is exceeding available supplies. Rep. BroyhUl said. Natural gas shortages In the CaroUnas have now reached crisis proportions.

MUSIC SCHOOL Music School at Second Baptist Church was post poned Monday night because of the snow but classes, as scheduled, wlU be held for the remainder of the week and wlU be concluded tonight. schools and Industries In the Piedmont areas of the two Carollnas are threatened with a total cut off of natural gas. If this cut-off occurs, ap proximately 60,000 workers In North Carolina alone would be thrown out of work as businesses and Industries dependent on natural gas are forced to close their doors. "Shortly sifter the 66th Congress convened on Tuesday," the Cixigress- man said, "I Introduced sm Emergency Natural Qas Purchase Act vriilch would enable natural gas p4>ellnes which are ex- p^enclng curtailments to buy 180-day emergency supplies of gas on the In- trsustate maricets. Passsige of this emergency legislation would In all likelihood prevent the type of economic catswtrophe with which the Carollnas are threatened at the present time." ; ^tuml gas shortages ar6''ndt restricted to the Carollnas. Kentucky and Ohio are presently being sharply cuitsdled. Other states are expected to be sharply curtailed If the present severe winter weather continues. For three years. Congress has been able to escape the hard decisions required on the natural gas Issue due to mild winters. It cannot Ignore the problem any longer. "I believe the most realistic long-term solution to continued natural Die shortages Is the gradual (teregulatlon of the price of natural gas. The House of Representatives, last year, by the narrowest of margins, defeated a bill I had sponsored which would have provided tor gradual deregulation of natural gas. I expect the Ocngress to debate similar legislation this year," BroyhUl said. However, Congress cannot conduct months of hearings and debates whUe tens of thousands of American workers are threatened with the losse of their Jobs. Congress must enact some form of emergency natural gas legislation now. There la no reason to believe that there will be any real Im provement In the present situation without porittve emergency action by the Ocngress.

The potential crisis toeing the Carollnaa Is very real. Even more states wUl be faced with similar threats of economic ruin unless Ocngress moves swiftly to provide emergency relief. "The Nation's present natural gas shortage wUl be a good teat of the ef fectiveness of the new majority leadership In the Ocngress," BroyhUl said. l^ano Program kDs.
