claim that Belgorod, so miles above

sectors in the midnight bulletin.
The Red Army newspaper Red
Star said the Germans had increased
their attacks on the Northern Don
cts considerably with fresh forces
OF tanks, men and bombers but had
achieved no important successes.
Violent assaults by big groups Of
Nazi machines and men trying to
cross the river were reported. A
large scale battle was said to be in
progress for an unidentified town
In which streets changed hands sew
eral times. Red Star said the Ger
mans had tried without success
many times to outfank basic Rus
sian points on the Donets line. At
one narrow point, 10 tanks were
thrown against the Russians but
these were reported thrown back.
These crucial battles were fought
in the muddy, low hills sloping

Third Pipeline 10 East
May Be Necessary,
|ckes Declares
Cites Time Element in
Opposing Construction
Of Florida Ship ConoI

Ry the Associated Press.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes
said yesterday it is quite within
the realm of possibility that a third
big pipeline to the East may be
found necessary.
Mr. Ickes made the statement in
letter to representative Snyder,
Democrat. of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the Army Appropriation
Subcommittee, in opposing the
trans-Florida barge canal project
from the point of view of the war
time petroleum situation.
Mr.. Ickes said pipelines can be
built in relatively brief period of
time, that they use materials and
power with greater efficiency than
any other carriers except ocean
tankers and that they are econom-
ical to operate.
Pipelines Held Effective.
This time element, alone. I
should think sufficient to decide the
issue" Mr.. Ickes said. However,
regardless of the time for construc-
ton, from petroleum transporta-
ton standpoint the canal would be
ruled out on the basis of efficiency
in the use of materials and man
power, compared with the use of
materials and manpower for pipe
lines. Very careful calculations
have indicated that barges and tug
boats would use steel for the deliv-
cry of oil with only about 55 per
cent of the efficiency of a large
pipeline.
L have every confidence that,
with these facts, and such others
as you wish to obtain from the
experts upon my staff. you will
understand why we are so thor
oughly convinced that pipelines are
the most effective means of moving
oil in this country during this emer-
gency.'
Mr.. Ickes did not elaborate on
his statement concerning the posi-
bility Of third big pipeline.
A 24-inch pipeline has been COM
pleted from LongvieW, Tex, to Nor
ris City. ILL., and now is being ex-
tended to New York and Philadel-
phia. Its capacity is 100000 barrels
a day.
Coal Carrying Fleet.
A 20-inch line from the Houston
Beaumont area to Seymour, Ind,
with capacity of 235 900 barrels
a day, has been authorized. and
Mr. Ickes has asked for the alloca-
ton Of necessary materials to ex-
tend this line to the East Coast.
The Office of Defense Transporta-
ton announced yesterday that a
fleet of 500 wooden petroleum tank
bargeS, 81 toWboatS and 100 tug
boats now under construction will
be completed by the end of October
to move 100000 barrels of fuel oil
a day to the East, or along routes
toward the East.
The oil-carrying fleet will be oper-
ated by private companies on a
charter basis, ODT said. The first
barges' and tugboats to be COM
pleted will operate on the Gulf
,intra coastal waterway from New
Orleans to Panama City, Fla, and
along the Atlantic intra-coastal
waterway.

cussed with the Steel Industry Ad-
visory Committee at its next meet
ing, and further examination of the
problems involved will be made by
the two committees working with
the division.
Mr.. Murray said a survey made
by the union indicated the armed
forces had absorbed approximately
1856 900 workers from steel and steel
fabricating plants, of which 10000
to 100000 came from basic steel"
Harold J. Ruttenberg, assistant
director of the WPB Steel Division,
estimated that approximately $4,000
workers in addition to draft re-
placements would be required by the
steel industry as the result of the
expansion scheduled this year. In
January, l943, there were 52l 900
production and maintenance workers
in basic steel industries, the WPB
said.
H. G.. Batcheller, director of the
steel division, reported that the
'bottleneCk" in steel has now shifted
from plates to alloy steels and
forging quality carbon steels, and
that every effort is being made to
step up production of those items
AS for plates, Mr. Batcheller said
no war production program-ships,
tanks or other equipments being
delayed because of inadequacy of
plates. We are now supplying
plates at rate of approximately
1,l50000 tons each month";" he
added.

ing with several companions from
the Japanese. 1t said the party
was attacked by robbers, probably
Moros, since there has been some
news of Moro uprising in Min
danao." Father Rocks companions
were said to have escaped.

Society in August, 1926, and was
serving as a teacher in the high
school and college founded by

Nationwide Audience
Sought 10 Hear Eden S
Annapolis Broadcast
Stote Department Plans
Seen os indication of
Its Unusual Moment
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, March 20.-It was
indicated today by Gov. O'Conors
Office that the address of British
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
to the Maryland Legislature from
9 to $50 pm Friday would be "of
unusual moment because of prep
aration being made by the State
Department for nation wide radio
audience.
Gov. O'Conor said he had sent
kilograms to Governors and legis-
lative leaders of the other At States
requesting their utmost co-opera-
ton" especially those States where
legislatures now are in session
AS chairman of the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Cover
nor's conference, Gov. O'Conor
urged such States to make neces-
sary arrangements to have legisla-
tors hear the broadcast.
The address will be broadcast
over the Columbia Broadcasting
System
A statement from the Governor S
Office said authoritative State De-
partment representatives declared
the speech would be Mr.. Eden's one
major public utterance while in this
country to confer with President
Roosevelt and other Federal Of
ficials.
Because of the cooperation be-
ing given by the State Department
of the country in efforts to assure
nationwide audience for the ad-
dress, it is believed that Mr.. Eden's
talk will be of a nature to arouse
the utmost interest among the
American people.
His important mission to this
country, with relation to the fur
therance of the war effort, suggests
that the coming broadcast may be
of unusual moment"
