East Will Receive Oil
Through Big Inch
Next Week, PAW Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Oil win be flowing through the
eastward extension of the $95, ,000,- :
600 pipeline from Texas before
another week is out. officials of the
Petroleum Administration for War
said today.
The first thin trickle, beginning
probably next Friday, will swell over
period of weeks until the l.400-
mile line delivers its capacity of
800. 900 barrels of crude oil daily at
Philadelphia and Bayonne, N. J.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes
has indicated, however, that getting
the eastward extension into opera
ton would mean only that tighter
restrictions on motorists in the Mid
west would be in order without re-
laxing driving restrictions in the
East.
Most of the lines oil is expected
to be absorbed by heavy military
demands.
Midwestern stocks, however. will
be siphoned of below present levels
as railroad tanks cars freed by the
Big Inch" extension haul away more
and more oil from that area to
the East. This, Mr.. Ickes indicated,
will force more severe gasoline
rationing in the Midwest.
He said declining production both
in the Midwest and California will
bring about situation that could,
and probably would" mean closer
rationing Of gasoline throughout the
Nation, likely before the end of
the year.

Dirksen Describes
Criticism Of Congress
As Pudding 1waddIe'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Attacks on Congress are merely
ito cover up and smoke screen the
failures and weaknesses in other
sectors of the Washington front, :"
Representative Dirksen, Republican,
of Illinois, declared in radio ad-
dress last night.
He said Congress had been de-
scribed recently as hectic and
hysterical, bent on destroying unity
and spiting the President" but that
this was "piddling twaddle, nom
sense and balderdash."
Critics of Congress, he said,
should tell the people about the
unending controversies in the execu-
tive branch. They should tell by
what authority OPA performs func-
tions scarcely contemplated by Con-
gress. They might tell why it was
the all-wise leaders in the admin
istration who claimed they foresaW
this war long time ago were con-
tinuing to impose acreage restric-
tions on the production of food as
late as last year. They might tell
why thousands upon thousands of
retail meat dealers are beseeching
Congress constantly for relief from
impossible OPA restrictions, and
they should tell just what has hap
pened to the abundant life and
what happened to all the promises
of a managed planned economy"

Msgr. E. j. Flanagan, founder of

lieves I'VE are unconsciously ex-
aggerating somewhat the increase
of juvenile delinquency"
Writing in the Boys Town Times,
published by boys of the home,
Father Flanagan declared "frayed
and distraught nerves" caused by
war conditions are partly response
BILE for the exaggeration, land part
ly because we are more keenly con-
scious of what constitutes good
citizenship today than ever before" J"
I'VE are talking more about our
freedoms and democracy today" he
continued, and we are fighting to
preserve those principles upon which
our democracy rests.
Our newspapers are featuring
juvenile delinquency more today
than ever before. Heretofore, it has
been more or less sidetracked be-
cause the press. for psychological
reasons, felt that it was better not
to give too much prominence and
publicity to these young delin-
quents.'
Father Flanagan said statistics
indicate there is not a great deal
more delinquency today in our larger
cities than there has been in the
past He cited Chicago as showing
per cent increase in juvenile
delinquency, which he termed mot
TOO serious when we take into con-
sideration the emotional effect this
war has on parents who are bear
ing the brunt of the home front
responsibilities, working hard on
their defense program and less in
clined and perhaps less capable of
giving that much needed super

Meat Shortages on
0PA Mistakes
BY the Associated Press.

BY The AxSOciAted Press.
A Republican committee studying
the food situation blamed the Once
OF Price Administration today for
domestic meat shortages.
I'VE have the paradox of the
largest inventory of live animals In
the history Of the United States. and
yet the now OF meat products
through the regular trade channels
has been slowed UP and almost
stopped entirely" said the report OF
a committee OF Republican members
of Congress headed by Representa-
tive Chenoweth OF Colorado.
Asking: What has caused scar
city in this land OF plenty?' The
report declared, 1T is the utter fail
ure OF the OPA, through its meat
control section, to properly appraise
the situation and then take the
necessary steps to insure adequate
supplies Of meat at all times"
The group asserted that wholesale
price ceilings have been too low,
and that every animal slaughtered
has resulted in a loss"
Packers cannot obtain live ami
mails IN competition with the
black market bidder" the COM
'mittee said.
Price ceilings have discouraged
the feeder-have left no margin for
him to finish cattle-and "as 4 result,
millions of pounds of beef have been
lost to the American consumer" !"
the report declared.
The fixing of slaughter quotas at
10 per cent Of the 1941 kill was de-
scribed rs another tragic mistake. -

BALTIMORE, July 10 tP.-An
easing OF the beef shortage by the
second week of August, when West
Virginia grass cattle start moving to
market. was predicted yesterday by
Baltimore meat packers and live
stock dealers.
They reported that the season for
grass cattle In West Virginia is
opening later than usual, as grass
lands in that section are in un-
usually good condition. This en-
courages cattlemen to hold on to
and fatten livestock which normally
would now be on its way to market,
they said
Pork, dealers declare, Is more
plentiful now than 1T has been for
more than year, and lamb con-
tinues more plentiful than beef in
