no wide-scale repetition of last
winter’s severe natural gas
shortages.
In a state-by-state analysis,
however, the agency said Mon
day that some individual states
may yet face larger shortages
in proportion to demand.
Severe cold weather in the
winter of 1976-77 increased gas
shortages almost 40 per cent
over the previous winter, caus
ing the temporary shutdown of
thousands of factories and busi
nesses and the layoff of hun
dreds of thousands of workers.
The FEA reported that gas
consumption jumped to more
than 8.6 cubic feet last winter
but was almost 2 trillion short of
demand, for an 18.7 per cent
shortage.
It said the nation’s total natu
ral gas supply will be smaller
than last winter, but that fore
casts of warmer weather and
greater energy savings should
offset this and reduce the over
all shortage.
But FEA Administrator John
F. O’Leary warned that if the
weather turns unusually cold
again, local fuel shortages
would certainly develop.
Federal officials said some
large industrial customers are
switching from natural gas to
other fuels, in part because of
the uncertainties of gas sup
plies, accounting for projected
reductions in curtailments.
In six states, however, gas
curtailments are expected to
surpass 40 per cent. The FEA
said it anticipates that South
Carolina will suffer an antici
pated shortage of 66.5 per cent
of its natural gas needs.
The agency said other short
age-prone states are Mis
sissippi, at 52.1 per cent short;
North Carolina, 52 per cent;
Arkansas, 44.5 per cent; Flori
da, 44.3 per cent, and Arizona,
43.1 per cent.
The actual impact of gas cur
tailments will depend heavily
on the ability of local industries
to switch to other fuels when gas
service is reduced or shut off,
and on the chances of diverting
gas supplies from shortage-free
areas to those in trouble.
The FEA promised to report
on alternate fuel prospects
within about one month.
The agency said it expects in
ventories of propane, middle
distillate (home heating) fuel
oil and residual (heavy) fuel oil
to be adequate “providing that
this winter’s weather is within
normal limits.”
Farmers

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia

Wright adds that he would

patroled the streets in one of the
town’s two police cars.
