Coleman co-sponsoring synthetic fuel measure By DOROTHY WILLIAMS Washington correspondent WASHINGTON Congressman Tom Coleman is co-sponsor of a bill which would establish a $205 billion program to produce synthetic fuel. But the Sixth District Republican hopes to strip the program of a section which would provide funds for job training. The bill is the brainchild of Congressman Carl D. Perkins, whose district in Eastern Kentucky would benefit by the synthetic fuel development. Perkins is chairman of the House Energy Committee, of which Coleman is a memebr.

Coleman can expect to run into powerful opposition in his effort to kill the bill's job training program. "An increase of this type of job training sounds like a boondoggle," D.H. SCHMIDT CARRIAGE ESTABLISHED DEPENDABILITY SINCE 1085 St LAFAYETTE Coleman asserted. "We should not fund a new program without studying the situation and finding out what the needs In general, Coleman said, he supports the thrust of what Perkins is trying to accomplish. The bill authorizes a quasi-governmental corporation to invest $200 billion in bonds and I to use $5 billon in tax money for a full-scale study of the synthetic fuel program.

The proposed matter is in the jurisdictional fields of 11 other committees. Energy Saving Idea. When baking a pot roast or other meats, place your canned vegetables in pans on the extra rack. Both will cook at the same time. FINE QUALITY FURNITURE JUGGIES FURNITURE CO.
