Raid on Texas gas opposed by official
AUSTIN Texas AP Mack Wallace of the Texas Railroad Commission challenged a federal plan to raid Texas natural gas for the Northeast and upper Midwest. He urged oil and gas executives to contact their congressmen and object to the Hollings measure, arguing it allocates intrastate gas to interstate markets. Wallace warned the proposal would burden producing states like Texas to aid others.

ALCOA Curtails Point Comfort Smelter Over Gas Cost
Alcoa spokesman Kuerner cites soaring natural gas prices as the main factor behind cutting production at the Point Comfort aluminum operation. About 2,660 workers were employed there in mid-1974, but nine months of weak markets have forced suspensions across five of seven potlines and layoffs totaling roughly 200. Production shifts to Massena New York, where energy costs are lower due to hydro and nuclear power, while Point Comfort remains capable of supplying alumina and related plants but cannot compete on cost. A second Texas project and a lignite plant expansion delay at Rockdale Works were also announced.
