...week Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission decided Lukens could buy its gas direct from Columbia's subsidiary. Henceforth, instead of the 20,000 tons of West Virginia bituminous and 25,000,000 gallons of fuel oil it has been buying annually, the company will use 15 million cu. ft. of gas a day, thereby lop about 20% off its yearly $1,250,000 fuel bill...
...Then Hitler absorbed Austria and out of the welter of triumphant speeches the U. S. gathered that its helium might be used for war, held up the shipment. Last week Germany inquired through U. S. Ambassador Hugh Wilson when it might expect the agreed shipment of 17,900,000 cu. ft. In January Germany's helium ship Dessau, with 486 steel cylinders aboard, each accommodating 5,600 cu. ft. of highly compressed gas, docked at Houston, Tex., ready to take back to Germany the first installment. Ambassador Wilson was reminded that Germany had gone to "considerable expense" to revamp...
...outdone by Secretary Hull, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes last week also found means to rebuke Nazi Germany, also presumably with Presidential approval. Last month, the State Department approved shipment of 2,000,000 cu. ft. of helium gas, on which the U. S. has a virtual monopoly, for commercial use in German Zeppelins.

...desk in Washington last week Executive Secretary Joseph Green of the State Department's National Munitions Control Board signed a license for the shipment to Germany of 2,000,000 cu. ft. of helium for Nazi dirigibles (TIME, Jan. 17). For making the first break in the U. S. Government's virtual monopoly of the world supply, the Board forestalled anti-Nazi criticism by explaining: 1) that U. S. stores are adequate for several hundred years; 2) that the U. S. could not morally prevent the distribution of a gas with important laboratory and medical uses (notably...
This week the 3,663-ton North German Lloyd freighter Dessau docks at Houston, Tex. Under her decks are 486 empty steel cylinders to carry back to Germany the first installment of U. S. gas. At 2,500 Ib. per sq. in. pressure, 5,600 cu. ft. of helium can be compressed into each cylinder. In the U. S. helium for medical treatments (asthma, croup), deep-water diving, laboratory experiments, is shipped 200,000 cu. ft. at a time in cylinders 40 ft. long, 4 ft. in diameter which travel four to a flatcar...
