CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois Gov.
Daniel Walker took a car for a spin in
downtown Chicago using gasoline
refined from coal. He said the fuel
process is a partial answer to the
energy crisis.
“No stall, no sputter, no ping.”
Walker said after the drive with the
experimental fuel Monday.
“If we are to solve the energy
problem, working toward a self-
sufficient nation; if we are to protect
our air, keeping it safe, then we will
have to develop the technology and
build plants to convert coal to oil and
natural gas and gasoline," he said.
The gasoline Walker used cost 5266 a
gallon to produce and his brief spin in
heavy traffic used about $66 worth.
It was 92 octane—the equivalent of
premium gasoline.
The demonstration kicked off a
conference on developing Illinois'
estimated 141 billion tons of unmined
coal. *
The governor said he learned
recently that gasoline could be derived
from coal, so he ordered 15 gallons for

Kent probe
CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) —
Justice Department officials
say a 22-member federal grand
Jury probing the 1*70 Kent State
University shootings will
probably complete its In-
vestigation by midweek.
But neither Asst. Atty. Gen. J.
Stanley Pottinger or Robert A.
Murphy, head of the depart-
ment team which has directed
the investigation, would in-
dicate Monday what results
they expect from the hearings
which began last Dec. 18.
The jury was charged with
determining whether there was
probable cause to believe feder-
al law had been violated — and
if so, by whom — in the May 4,
1970. clash between Ohio Na-
tional Guard troops and stu-
dents protesting U.S. military
involvement in Cambodia.
The guardsmen opened fire at
one point, and four students
were killed and nine wounded.
Murphy said Monday’s half-
day session was devoted to fin-
ishing what was left “sort of
hanging" when the jury re-
cessed March 6 after hearing its
final witness, ex-Gov. James A.
Rhodes. \

Oil officials estimated that it would
take 7 to 10 years to build a refinery in
Illinois that would produce 100,000
barrels of fuel a day from coal. They
said a potential 110 gallons of gasoline
could be refined from one ton of coal.
They estimated the cost of setting up
such a project would be about 3500
million, with a gallon of coal-gasoline
selling for about 70 cents.
“That might look pretty cheap 10
years from now," said Ted Tom of the
Amoco Oil Co. laboratory in Whiting,
Ind
Experimental processes on a very
limited scale were why Walker's 15
gallons of gasoline cost about 54,000 to
produce.
The southern Illinos coal was
processed into crude oil at
Hydrocarbon Research at Trenton,
N.J. The gasoline was refined at
Amoco's Whiting lab with small scale
processing equiment.
Walker said he believes it was the
first time a passenger car has been run
in the United States on gasoline derived
from coal.
