Coal Producers Challenge Oil Import Plan
Coal producers denounce a new plan to control crude oil imports as worse than the current program and harmful to jobs in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The proposal, crafted by Navy Captain M W Carson, would base import limits on total oil demand rather than domestic production, and may not cut imports. Industrialists oppose curbs, favoring residual oil as a cheaper fuel. The National Coal Association plans to protest for mandatory reductions, citing big oil price control interests.
