Pollution control efforts cut waste at chemical plants
Government takeover in 1947 spurred a pollution program with annual operating cost around 150000. Plants report wartime production levels near normal and a 59 percent pollution reduction at the nitr a plant. About 400000 dollars spent on program development, waste recovery, process changes, and employee practices. An eight acre tract was purchased for a waste treatment plant and a dedicated sewer line will move wastes there. Additional collaboration with West Virginia State College and the Institute on sewage plant development is noted. Election of new officers by the commission was postponed until July 12.

Green testified on his fifth day under direct examination that the party had narrowed Marxist policies and shifted from a Soviet power goal to a democratic government concept. He said the 1838 party views supported a People’s government and denied claims that the 1945 constitution was mere window dressing.
