T. Tehcter, executive vice president of the company's nitrogen division. Techter said the goal of the Nebraska plant which will manufacture urea products for animal feed and fertilizer, will be to satisfy the requirement of the immediate area. Walt Colvin, western sales manager, said the company is ready to begin construction just as soon as the Federal Power Commission approves its con tract with the Northern Natural Gas Company. Meanwhile the Central Elec tric and Gas Company of Lin coln announced that it has filed notice of intervention with, the Federal Power Commission on the Northern reauest to furnish 12-million cubic feet of gas daily to the Allied plant. II. A. Thorson of Lincoln, dis trict manager of Central Elec tric, said the reason for inter vening Is the shortage of nat ural gas in the Lincoln area. He said, "Until Northern Nat ural has satisfied our needs here in Lincoln and the other communities and services, it should not be taking on this extra responsibility." He said he had no objection to supply ing the plant with interruptible service. Northern and Allied executed a contract in April agreeing for suddIv of a maximum of 12-mil lion cubic feet of gas daily for j a 20-year period. Central Electric and Gas Co., serves Plattsmouth.
