While petroleum fuels and lubricants
keep military tanks and trucks on the
job, an army Of petroleum hydrocarbor
compounds Is being modified for the
less spectacular but none the less es-
sential work of furnishing other stra-
tegic industries with raw materials.
Low in cost and wide in variety
these versatile compounds Of carbon
and hydrogen, the building blocks from
which petroleum is made, are furnish
ing aviation with super-fuelS. munition
/ industries with alcohols, acetone and
other solvents, explosive makers with
toluol and. In the near future. should
the need arise. they will supply Uncle
Sans motorized army with synthetic
rubber.
Paralleling the development Of these
essential "by-products, the petroleum
industry is producing low-cost raw ma
terials for plastics. the tough, synthetic
substitutes for wood and metal, which
overnight are finding new uses in the
freeing Of strategic materials for de-
Tense and in the fabrication Of the
weapons and machines of war.
Manufacturers faced with q shortage
in vital raw material Communicated
for army use are turning to plastic
substitutes compounded from the oil
refinery gases, formerly used as fur
mace fuel. Equally adapted to the needs
Of peace or war, plastics made with
oil derivatives are easily nodded and
machined and are comparatively light
In weight. They find innumerable uses
because of their non corrosive, nom
inflammable, rust and shock resistant
qualities. They are non-conductive to
electricity.
Planned That Way
None of these commodities which
has become so vitality essential was the
result Of chance findings in petroleum
laboratories. Development was made
possible by the amazing progress which
has taken place in the refining and
fractionating Of petroleum.
The endless possibilities of petroleum
in the chemical field revealed by the
chronological research which has pro-
duced the fuels and lubricants of today,
resulted also in the commercial devel-
opment Of oil plastics IN the early
twenties. Ethylene and propylene, I
gases produced In the refining of pc
were the basis for plastic ma
terials which appeared on the market /
in a continual stream after 1890
Substitute Substitute
Ethylene, first used In Germany for
The production of plastic materials, was
synthesized from coal. lime and water,
since petroleum was not generally
available In the United States, where
supplies Of petroleum and natural gas
are abundant, American chemists found
raw materials at hand. They increased 4
N variety as the technique Of refining
swiftly progressed. Ethylene today is
the basis for a molding composition
from which hundreds Of varied plastics
ranging from tableware to transparent
are processed.

electrical companies are developing a
refrigerator made OF plastic sides and

Senate Passes Bill
For Pipe Line 10 Ease
Oil Shortage Threat
Conduit From Texas
To Eost Coust Would
Cost $4,000, 900
By the Associated Press

bS INV HsshtAhtfd rlNno
The Senate yesterday passed
legislation designated TO facilitate
early construction of a pipe line
from the East Texas oil fields to
the East Coast to relieve a threat
ened Oil shortage in the latter area
The measure, which previously
had been passed by the House in
slightly different form, would per-
nit the President, when neces-
sary for national defense purposes,
to let private companies Use the
Governments right of eminent do
main in obtaining necessary land
for pipeline construction. Govern
ment loans TO private companies
would be authorized.
The legislation also would EN-
power the Government to engage
directly in construction and opera
tion of pipe line when 1t was found
to be "Impracticable" for private
interests TO do so
To Cost $4,000, 900.
Senator Stewart, Democrat, of
Tennessee told the Senate that the
purpose of the legislation was to
permit private construction and op-
Grafton and that 1t was not intended
that the Government should engage
in the work.
He said that the projected line to
New Jersey refinerles was expected
to cost $4,000. 900 and was designed
TO meet a storage threatened by the
transfer of American tankers TO
Britain,
Senator Gurney. Republican, of
North Dakota contenoed that more
efficient operation of present trans
portatlOn facilities could Offset as
many as 100 tankers and make a
pipe line absolutely unnecessary.
Building such a line, he declared,
would consume steel sufficient TO
construct % battleships and would
require from a year and q half to
two years.
The bill now goes back TO the
House and may be sent tora Senate
House conference to reconcile diff
ferences.
Tanker Capacity Increased.
Meanwhile officials of the Bureau
of Marine Inspection and Naviga-
ton said an increase of 10000 bar
rels day in the transportation of
petroleum products is expected to
result from the raising, of the load

The East Coast. with an impend-
ing shortage of oil due to the trans
