BY GOULD LINCOLN.
Congress does not intend to
have deficiencies in fuel oil in the
Eastern or other sections Of the
country laid at its door. The
same thing applies to gasoline.
A year ago law was passed
giving the President full author
ity to have built or to build pipe
lines anywhere, which in his
opinion were needed to safeguard
the country and care for the peo-
pies needs. If it turns out that
failure to construct such pipe
lines is major factor in small pc
troleum supplies in this section
OF the country next winter, Con-
gress will certainly bear down on
those responsible. That is being
made clearer every day.
Senator McKellar Of Tennessee,
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee of the Senate IN
charge Of deficiency appropri-
ton bills, is insisting on the con-
struction of all needed pipe lines.
Congress has given authority
for their construction" he said.
Refusal OF priorities for needed
steel for their construction de-
layed work on pipe lines for
many months. 1t was a short
sighted policy. I am perfectly
willing to vote all the money
needed for the building of the
pipe lines. Further, am willing
to help enact law which will
compel the War Production
Board to grant priorities. 1t is
perfectly clear that the war effort
will be greatly hampered If the
people in the manufacturing CEN
ters of the East cannot get fuel to
run their factories-engaged IN
war production-and to heat
their homes. For one, do not
intend to permit any such stu
alton to arise If I can help 1t"
The oil and gasoline shortage
In the East has made 1t possible
for the so-called Florida barge
canal and pipe line bill to make
headway in Congress. The House
has passed it, and there seems
to be every likelihood that the
measure will be favorably re-
ported to the Senate from the
Committee on Commerce, al
though there is stout opposition.
A Pork" Bill.
The bill has been advanced
as an emergency measure, to
meet the gas and oil shortage in
the Eastern part Of the country.
The truth OF the matter is, how
ever, that the proposed barge
canal, which will cost many mil
lions OF dollars, could not be
completed under three years.
and that all the authority re-
quired for btiilding a pipe line
across Northern Florida has
already been given the President.
In addition, the plans for laying
q pipe line across Northern Flor
ida have been completed, and
the work would b done In 120
days. The barge canal and pipe
line bill, therefore, is Just another
bit of pork" which should not
be put through.
The petroleum problem = for
the East-raised its head In an
other quarter yesterday, when
Senator Guffey Of Pennsylvania
introduced q bill designed to take
from Leon Henderson, price ad.
ministrator, all functions relating
to oil and gasoline and place
them in the hands Of Secretary
Of the Interior Ickes, who 1,

The Political Mill
Wroth Gathering in Congress in Event Deficiencies in
Fuel OIL Cos Result From Failure to Build Pipe Lines

for petroleum products and ra-
tioning from Mr.. Henderson and
place those functions under Mr..
Ickes.
Mr.. Guffey insists that this is
the sensible thing to do, since
authority over production and
transportation of petroleum in
all its forms is in the hands Of
Mr.. Ickes. To separate control
over petroleum, in his opinion,
makes for mistakes and less eff
cient administration.
So another shot is fired at Mr..
Henderson by his critics on Capt.
tol Hill. Mr.. Henderson's recent
order permitting an increase OF
21a cents for gasoline per gallon
in the Eastern section Of the
country-to offset increased costs
of transportation-caused great
antagonism. The price admin
istrator first aroused the hostility
of members OF Congress when he
did not seek their advice on
appointments to be made In the
huge organization for price con-
troll which he is setting up. In
stead OF having recommendations
made to him by Senator's and
Representatives. the Demo-
cratic persuasion-Mr. Henderson
adopted an independent, nom
political system of making the
appointments. Instead Of asking
recommendations, he picked the
candidates for these offices and
requested Senators and Repre-
sentatives to give their approval.
They were outraged.
Congress Retaliates.
Holding the money bags, Con-
gress has retaliated by cutting
down the price administrators
request for $1e1 ,o00, 900 to staff
and run the OPA during the
present fiscal year. The House
reduced this figure to SIS, ,000, 900
and sent the bill to the Senate,
where it is now before the Appro-
priaticns Subcommittee on De1i-
cheney Bills. Mr.. Henderson has
pleaded his cause eloquently. He
insists that he must have proper
help If the country Is to avoid
rapidly increasing prices and dis
astrous imitation.
The whole question revolves
round the question-how many
employees and officials does the
OPA really need to function at
It's best? It looks as though tn"
Senate committee would recon-
mend some increase in the ap-
preparation for the OPA, over
the SIS, ,o00, 900 provided by the
House bill. There Is no chance
whatever that 1t will give Mr..
Henderson the entire $161 900 900.
Indeed, the House would never
agree to such q proposal even If
the Senate wrote that figure into
the bill.
Generally speaking, Senators
have been as intensely aroused
as were House members over Mr..
Henderson's failure to let them
make the principal appointments
on his staff. What the President
, can and may do for Mr.. Hender-
son In this contest with Congress
remains to be seen.
Both Mr.. Henderson and Mr..
1ckes require all the encourage
ment and assistance they can
get to carry through their impor-
tant tasks Of supplying the
Atlantic Seaboard with necessary
fuel and gasoline and Of keeping
prices down-not only Of petro-
leum products, but Of all othel
essential articles. The proof OF
the pudding is in the eating
The country will be resentful II

Thin Girls

The same list OF protective
foods does wonders for the thin,
nervous girls. The only differ
ence is an increase in the
calories.
And the daily walk is just as
important for its acts as a mild
tonic. But don't try to set
records for speed and distance
when you are trying to gain.
Limit your walk to a leisurely
mile and a half. then sit in the
sun and relax for awhile.
With moderate exercise and
the right foods, there is a
gradual increase in reserve vi
tally. And that is what we are
after.

GOING TO work this sum-

that means il will be a year for
suits. in cool summer fabrics,
smart and comfortable in the
hottest weather. New suits are
mostly stripped down models,
partly because they are cooler,
partly because of the fabric
shortage.
First details eliminated are
collar and revers, which means
the shirt collar is worn outside
the jacket-effective when suit
and blouse are in contrasting
fabrics and colors.
Bonita Granville, shopping
along Hollywood boulevard, wore
one of these new collarless suits
"a gabardine in jungle red,
the black and white print blouse
a pattern of tropical ferns.
Lucille Ball also chose a col
larless suit, of white cotton, the
jacket fronts cut high enough
to eliminate a blouse altgether.
For color contrast, Lucille wears

cotton, tanning out of a top
pocket. Good summer sub
