Hearing on Amarillo Helium Plant Moves Forward
Washington D C May 16 hearings on the Englebright Bill to fund the Amarillo helium plant continued with Commander S M Krauss of the naval department taking a largely neutral stance. He urged a policy that would relieve the Navy from future payments if the plant is government owned and operated, leaving final decisions to Congress. The proceedings revisited navy preferences for private helium suppliers and the patent process behind the extraction method developed at Lakehurst. Estimates projected annual helium needs for the army and navy at 10 to 11 million cubic feet in 1931, rising to about 18 million after 1981 as expansion progresses.
