                   Study is being made by the Koppers Co. looking toward establishment of a state-owned synthetic-petroleum industry based on gasification of low-grade coal.  Costs are being calculated for plants of various capacity from 100,000 tons to 1,000,000 tons annually of gasoline and byproducts.  Preliminary estimates for a 1,000,000-ton plant place the cost at $150,000,000 plus the outlay for a 200,000-kw. power plant.
