President Urges Oil Pipe Lines
As Important Defense Step

of Maryland, chairman OF the OH
Committee, later introduced the
measure to which the President re-
ferred. He said it would authorize
the Government, through one OF its
departments or through private
company, to invoke the right OF
eminent domain and purchase or
condemn rights of way for pipe lines
needed for national defense.
For instance, Mr.. Cole said the
President could certify to a Federal
court that line to be built by a
certain company was necessary for
national defense. That document,
he added, would automatically be
accepted in that Federal court as
proof of the necessity of exercising
the right of eminent domain.
Funds for construction of the new
transmission lines would be taken
from any available defense appro-
priation.
Mr.. Cole said that the need for
the legislatio arose primarily from
the fact that so of the normal 260
tankers required for East Coast
needs had been ordered or were
being ordered removed for use by
the Maritime Commission.

and demanded an explanation Of
what he termed an explosion OF
indignation in this country against
France and her leaders.
The Ambassador said he did not
regard the action in taking the
French ships into protective custody
as a seizure of the vessels because
their crews were permitted to remain
aboard them, but said it was "un-
friendly gesture which has got to be
explained because we had assurances
that the French ships would not be

He wrote Speaker Rayburn that a

The necessity for the legislation,
Mr. Roosevelt said, arose from the
fact that industry, population and
military bases on the Atlantic Coast
now depend entirely on coastwise
tankers for their oil. That process,
he wrote, was long and potentially
perilous" and in addition, made re
