ANAHEIM, July 20.—Unloading j of four huge steel retorts, each i Li weighing 39.000 pounds, is a dttH-L^ cult mechanical problem now he- j ing faced by officials of the United States Industrial Alcohol company’sbaAnaheim plant and marks another haiimportant step being taken in the $250,000 expansion program instituted by the company on its purchase of the local plant in November, last year.WJInof$1The retorts now being unloaded toand installed in the plant are but four of 20 such units the company plans to install during the expansion program. W. W. Haughey, western manager, declared this morning. Already $150,000 haspclebetiatbeen spent for new equipment and jPJimprovement, he stated.Though company officials an- j tf nounced, at the time the Anaheim j d plant was purchased, that $250,000 j V would be spent In increasing theproduction of the plant from 500,- ' a 000 gallons of alcohol a year to ; t' 1,000,000 gallons per year, Mr. | tl Haughey declined to confirm that this full program is contemplated at once.“The new machinery and equipment we are adding is expected to be all in place by October 1 and will balance the production of the plant and put our operations on a more efficient basis,” he said.Balancing the plant, Mr. Haughey explained, involves the resumption of an earlier program under which the plant’s energies are concentrated in the production of alcohol. For some time previous to its acquisition by the U. S. Industrial, the plant’s facilities were being turned more and more to the pro-4 _duction of by-products with alco- \ hoi becoming itself more or less of j t a by-product, it Is said. * ?Thp nAw owners are nrenariner i t
