voted to research on utilization of
Texas' supply of natural gas.
Dr- Schoch would not attempt
to estimate how much natural gas
there is in Texas. He Baid the
amount "staggers imagination.”
L. B. Herring, Corpus Christi,
consulting geologist, agreed that
Texas gas reserves are now incal-
culable. He put the proven reserves
In 10 of 300 known gas areas at
25 trillion cubic feet. He said that
the gas area extends approximate-
ly 100 miles inland from the Tex-
as Gulf Coast. He estimates at
least 40 trillion cubic feet in the
, Gulf Coast area.

CHICAGO. (U.P) Puzzled lawy-
ers called upon a genealogist to
untangle the $15,000 estate of a
man with four aliases.
Nathan K .Dodge, alias Neathan
Dodge, alias J. D. Douglas, alias
James D. Barr, alias James Dunn,
died at 75 ip a rooming house. His
landlady and a few friends who
"thought he had money" searched
his possessions and discovered that
he had- invested $15,000 under
pseudonyms in Boston, Seattle,
San Francisco and Portland.
Probate genealogist Walter C.
Cox found that the man had reg-
istered variously as money lender,
machinist and truck farmer. Cox
«Id that Dodge, which name may
itself be an alias; once regiMYted
for eye treatment at a hospital as
Janies Dunn, but paid his bill with
traveler checks signed Ncathan

Dr. Schoch is a retired professor <
of chemistry in the University and
is devoting his later years to re-
search for the benefit of the state.
He is a large, white-haired man
who speaks confidently on the re-
sult of his investigations, but is
just as ready to admit .he
give no worth-while opinion
other matters.
Frequently
committee members:
qualified to answer that."
Typical of his patlrotic service
was his appearance before the
committee in the national colors
—white hair, blue shirt and red
tie
Urging conservation of the Tex-
as gas until it can be best utiliz-
ed. Dr. Schoch predicted that con**
tinued use at present will dissipate
it before the men who return from
World War II are 65.
Laws, he said, will not conserve
gas. People will waste It until re-
search makes it worth selling.
Since Dr. Schoch's report to the
Senate Committee there has been
some criticism that he is too san-
guine. The questioner suggested
that even if the year's supply of
gas piped out of the state would
produce $250,000,000 worth of plas-
tics, as he estimated, there is a
market only for a tenth of that
much plastics in a year now, so
$225,000,000 worth would be as
valueless property as natural gas
ifl now.

to develop reserves until a paying'
market la found for the gas.
Numerous oil operators testified
they capped as wells that they
discovered in drilling for oil One
said he had offered a completed
gas well to a gas company for its
cost. The offer was met with
laughter.
Dr Schoch said gas is being sold
as low as four mills for a thou-
i sand cubic feet. Others testified
that muck gas has been sold for
half a cent a thousand cubiC-J^t-L
Dr. Schoch already has developed
a way to produce acetylene’ from
I natural gas at a cost of about half
the cost of other methods.
Acetylene Is the source of acetic
acid and acetic add makes up a
big part of the total volume of
plastics. Acetylene also is a step
toward butadiene from which syn- (
thetic rubber is produced.
Dr. Schoch Said the University
laboratory successfully has pro-
duced butadiene at a cost of 9*4
cents compared to 19*4 cents by
old methods for the same quan-
tity. The only reason "the Univer-
sity process was not taken over
for wartime production of a rub-
ber supply was that the more cost-’
ly method had been started and
the government ’, concluded that
time, rather than cost, was the
main objective, Dr. Schoch related.
The foregoing products are
among the more difficult ones to
extract from Texas’ natural gas.
Dr Schoch said' an easier one is
gasoline and that eventually the
country's gasoline smwly will have
to come from natural gas.
The elderly professor took
personal credit for his research
success. Frankly, he said it is not
a discovery, but proof that a meth-
od discarded by German scientists
is workable. The method uses elec-
tical discharges to break down the
gas into constituent parts.
Adequate research, he said, wi'l
bring amazing and profitable dis
^overies. He said he seeks no per-
sonal gain. He has made over th»
rights in any discoveries to the
University of Texas. •
The University has patents on
some of the processes and has of-
fers for their use. Hign offers
have decided they will cieatc no
monopoly. Several deals now are
on -for use of the processes, and
the University is insisting on
agreements to Invest substantial
amounts In development before
making grants.
