Helium Plant at Amarillo May Stay Open on Funding
Representative Marvin Jones reports Bureau of Mines officials promise continued work at Amarillo if the Senate amendment providing 115000 for gas and oil investigations is approved by the House. The navy bill currently allocates only 10000 for helium next year, risking the plant's closure in 1936 without added funds. John W. Finch notes that present budgets of 10000 for navy and 10000 for army will force cessation without Senate House action.
