Indiana Gas curtailment reduced through conservation efforts
Indiana Gas Co will curb interruptible gas cuts to fewer days than hoped, a sign of conservation success.

In Muncie, gasoline dealer Jerry Runyon urged rationing by stations, while state officials prepared for federal standby rationing guidance and driver licensing bureaus to issue authorization cards. Indiana operates a large computerized license system with 187 branches and 185 terminals.
