Ickes Asks Companie,
To Build Pipeline
From Texas 10 East
Also Urges Construction
Of 50 Tunkers More
Than Now Ordered

Immediate construction. by the oil
industry of a s7O,000,000 pipe line
system that would carry 250,000 BAR
rels of crude oil daily from the East
Texas field to the shortage-threat-
ened East Coast was recommended
today by Defense Petroleum Co.
ordinator Ickes.
His action was taken soon after
Congress completed action this aft
ernoon on bill authorizing Federal
aid to private firms in construction
of petroleum pipe lines. The bill
permits construction of lines by the
Federal Government in the event
that it is "impracticable for any
private persons promptly and salts
factorily" to do the work, or if public
construction is necessary in the
interest of national defense. The
measure authorizes the President to
advance funds to private firms un-
dertaking pipe line construction
deemed vital to defense.
Urges More Tankers.
Mr.. Ickes also recommended that
the oil industry undertake at once
an augmented tanker building pro-
gram looking toward construction Of
40 to so large high-speed vessels"
in addition to the 139 now under
construction or contract by the
Maritime Commission and various
private companies.
During the past several weeks Mr..
Ickes has held several conferences
with leading oil executives in an
effort to obtain an agreement on a
pipe line construction program with
an idea of forestalling the impending
East coast shortage, an outgrowth
of the diversion of American tankers
to the British.
The pipe line system recommend
ed by Mr.. Ickes would originate in
the East Texas field and proceed
as q 20-inch line to a point in
Illinois, in the general neighborhood
of Nashville, Ill. This 20-inch line
would have daily capacity of 200,-
900 barsels. At its Illinois terminal
the 20-inch line would connect with
a 16-inch line originating at Wood
River, ILL.,, where other lines from
the mid continent and Texas fields
now terminate. The 16-inch line
wouln have a daily capacity of
lis, 1000 barrels.
From the junction of the two lines,
xvv{k l-,l
capacity Of 250, 900 barrels would be
constructed to the Atlantic Coast

Navy Plane Delivery
20 Per Cent Behind,
Towers Tells House
Lund Croft Given
Preference, Admiral
Testifies at Hearing
n the Associated Press.

6s Inc hbSOCldtco TIcoS.
Rear Admiral John H. Towers
chief of naval aeronautics, told a
House committee today that actual
deliveries of naval airplanes for the
first six months of 1941 fell 20 per
cent short of estimates.
The admiral said granting of
higher priorities to land planes than
to naval aircraft was causing grave
concern"
Testifying before the Naval At
fairs Committee, Admiral Towers
asserted that originally he had esti-
mated that 1895 planes would be
received in the six months, but only
1,547 were delivered.
TIE explained that original sched-
ules contemplated that if early de-
liveries were slow, ''it was hoped
that late deliveries would make up
as plans got under way and that
the years total delivery would ap-
proximate the total deliveries sched-
uled."
Il no longer entertain such hopes,
he added.
"On top of the original program, -
the admiral said, "a program of
production of some 5000 four-en-
gine land plane bombers was super
imposed in MAY,
Such program, with the high
priority which it has been accorded
cannot fail to have an adverse effect
upon other defense production"
Machine tools for the heavy
bomber program have been awarded
higher priority than for any Navy
aircraft.
The impending effect of the high
priority of the heavy bomber pro-
gram on production of other air.
craft for the Navy is of grave con-
eern TO the Navy Department.
With world conditions as they are
today, it is logical to expect that the
Navy will be called upon to meet
the initial impact of any hostilities
in the Atlantic, the Pacific, or both
oceans concWrently. 1t is only
proper that the fleet, including its
componentS, should be adequately
and effectively equipped for such
eventualities."

 Demanding Apology
Ccontinued from Page l.)

This being true, does 1t not sug. gest to you the fact of our being watchful to guard against the rec currence of such things? Does 1t not suggest to you Q sincere desire on the part of WPA to keep its house in order? While not in the least condoning the actions of those whom you sentenced Mon- day, we ct least sincerely feel that our own voluntary actions in bringing to light conditions which you allesedly characterize as "can- cerousp is not less than praise- worthy.
 Your alleged reference to pres- sure from Washington to add to our state staff can find no sub- stantiation in fact. On the one hand you deploce the lack of cen- tralized control ana on the other you apparently express belief that there Is @ very strong, not to say arbitrary, control in Washington. Whatever you may believe to the contrary notwithstanding, Wash ington exerts no such control as you imply. Washington formulates general policy and work decisions, applicable on a broad general scale to all state administrat tions. Wash ington budgets funds for each state administration and sets quotas for employment on a monthly basis. Beyond such con- trols and the fact that Washing ton reserves the right of approval of persons for key positions, the State Administrators are vested with complete authority for the general administration of the work programs in their respective states, including the selection of personnel. Washington, there- fore, places the utmost reliance in the honesty, character and in- tegrity of the several State Ad- ministrators.
 As a general proposition. no one can find fault with your denuncia- ton of those found guilty of crimes against society and 1t is not my intention to decry that portion of your lecture of Monday. Yet 1t is obviously unfair to impugn the characters of those employees of the WPA who are doing not only Q good job. but who are performing real services to their state and ration.
 I should, perhaps, make 1t Clear to you that I came to Connecticut from the central office in Wash- ington to take charge Of the WPA program in this state, tav- ing previously been attached to the Ref. .onal WPA office for the New England region. Tn all of my experience there has never come to my attention any situa. tion within the WPA, nationally or otherwise, which warranted so inerciless, so sweeping, 50 scathing and all inclusive an indictment as that which the press has credited you with making.
 You would not condemn the church because of the malefac- tons of some of It's leaders. I do not believe you would condemn even the courts of our land be- cause Q few in high places in the courts sometimes stopped to prac- tices which were detrimental to society as Q whole.
 Why. then, condemn the whole WPA because of e handful who were tried in the balance and found wanting?
 Sincerely,
 Frank Upman, Jr,
 Acting Administrator.

 BORCLUM IS DEAD
Sixty Foot Heads of Four Presidents, Carved on
 Cliff Is Memorial

Chicago, March 6-(UP)--GutSosl Borg!um, 73.year-old sculptor, Of Mount Rushmore, 6. D., died today at Henrotin hospital where he had been taken after suffering heart attack.
 His wife, son and daughter were at his side when he died at a. m. His son, Lincoln, 26, and his daughter, Mary Ellis Whay, 24, had arrived at Chicago yesterday
 Borglum had been at Chicago on lecture tour. His physician said the heart attacks had been induced by ovewrork.
 While Gutzon Borglurn's lSe san was little longer than that o& ~ average man, he left a memorial which will live as long as the rioun- tains of which it Is a part. It is the Mount Rushmore Nation. al memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. 6,20O feet above sea level, and displaying 6o-foot heads of four presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, carved in Q cliff of un- 
 stratified granite.
 He began work in 1927, and 1t was expected he would complete 1t in five years, but ct his death 1t was only nearing completion. The faces of the great figures are recognizable at three miles. Ills and his son, Lincoln, who is expected to superintend the works completion, guided the project.
 Borglum was Q hard worker. and often would be planning one statue or group while working on another.
 The son of pr. James De La Mothe Borglum and Cristine Mich elson Borglum was born in Idaho. March 25. 1887. He was educeted at Julian Academy and Ecole oes Arts. Paris. and St. Marys College h Kan- sas.
 His full name was John 0utsen De LaMothe Borglum.

 Portions of your diatribe con be considered only aA blanket in. dictiments of the entire State WPA administrative staff if, again, the reported version even closely ap- proximates your actual words. To say that I am shocked to think that one in such Q high position as yourself would 90 90 fer in vehement denunciation of this Federal agency would be to put 1t all too mildly. Tn my opinion - and this opinion is shared by many outside the ranks of the WPA - Q retraction and an apoI- ogy is but our due.
 I think you forgot one very sal. lent fact: that the whole affair of the so-called "WPA Scandals" was brought to light by the WPA Di- vision of Investigation - an ir1- vestigative organization within our own ranks. Does this fact not merit some consideration? It seems to me that 1t is very much to the credit of the WPA. In effect, WPA has cleaned it's own house. It has brought out into the open, exposed to the full, pitiless light of publicity, conditions which WPA not only did not condone, but sought to expose and punish those found guilty.
