Washington December 26 The fuel administration chief Garfield told a Senate committee that transport shut down the rail network nullified much of the agency’s work and that if the war lasts long the government may take over coal and parcel it out. He noted production rose 10 percent but war demand adds another 10 percent not yet met and emphasized conserving supply to hardest hit areas.

He noted low coal use for city signs and savings from voluntary output curtailment among competitors, preferring this to eliminating nonessentials. Dr. Garfield testified.
