Gas curtailment hits San Antonio power and industry
Coastal States Gas Producing Co restricts 50 million cubic feet of natural gas for three days starting Sunday due to cold weather and plant problems at Katy Station. CPSB uses fuel oil at Braunig and Tuite plants while Portland Cement loses six million cubic feet daily. Austin power plants switch to fuel oil as needed. Residential and business gas from Southern Union remains unaffected. In Cyprus, masked raiders wound three policemen and killed a raider after a wave of bombings ministers call it a backlash against opponents of Makarios.
