Construction Of To Be Deferred Plants For Alcohol
Washington April 20 A decision to defer construction of grain alcohol plants at Carrollville Wisconsin Dubuque and Keokuk Iowa and Moline and Peoria Illinois for the synthetic rubber program was reported to Senate investigators. Dr Walter G Whitman and John W Boyer testified that reduced estimated industrial alcohol needs make new plants unnecessary at this time. The five sites were announced recently by WPB as suitable for alcohol plants with five prospective lessees invited to bid. The witnesses said the plans are nearly completed for WPB action if later changes in the alcohol situation require it.
