Vatican.

tdtlCAH.
That woman commentator start
ed something when she broadcast
recently about the dangers threat
ening the VATICAN" Others are
affecting the INSTRUMENTATION, and
now, amigos, I'm afraid we're in
for it.
I've tried for years to get the
cue" out of coupon and percola-
tor. I've labored nightly to chase
that stubborn old COW" out of Mos
COW. I've tried to drive that old
demon rum" from program. I've
tried to put out the "eye" of anti.
I've tried to run Archie" out OF the
archipelago. Does anybody read my
column? Ha! Don't be silly. 1t
stays in the paper only because I
always let the editor beat me at
golf.
But I love fitting at windmills.
And henceforth old Don Quixolby
will endeavor to tie a can to that
can in VATICAN"
The "a" in the third syllable of
Vatican, as in American, pelican,
Republican, African, is obscured, and
it must never have the fiat sound as
in can, fan, man Nor should
Vatican ever be accented on the last
syllable, even slightly.
The exact origin of the name
Vatican (Vaticanus) is in doubt, al
though it may have come from the
Roman VATICINIA Cprophesies"O
which were pronounced there in the
neighborhood OF the Temple of
Apollo.
At any rate, the Nazis have done
enough to desecrate the City of the
Holy See. Let us not be guilty of
corrupting its name to VATICAN"
There is only one possible pronun-
citation: VAT-i-k'n.

Last Joint Completed
In Illinois Segment
0fBiggest Oil Pipeline
Petroleum Tube Will Be
Extended to New York.
Philadelphia Area
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NORRIS CITY, ILL.,, Jan. g.
The Illinois segment of the
worlds largest oil pipeline was
completed today, the Sheehan
Pipeline Construction Co. an
nounced, with the welding of the
last joint in Union County.
When the whole line is COM
pleted, by the linking of the Illinois
tube with the western leg at Cape
Girardeau, Mo, the 24-inch conduit
will extend from Longview, in the
East Texas oil field, to Norris City.
Eventually the line will be extended
another 857 miles from Norris City
to the New York-Philadelphia refin-
ing area. Construction of the east
ern portion will be started here to-
morrow.
A l4-inch pipeline from Norris
City to Enfield. five miles away, will
be finished within a few days. This
will connect the big line and the
Illinois Pipeline Co.'S system to
Pennsylvania, augmenting the rail
haul from Norris City to the East
Coast pending construction of the
extension line.
The completed Texas to- Illinois
pipeline will cost about S35 .0O0. 900
and have a capacity of about 1900
600 barrels. 1t will deliver about
SOC, 600 barrels of East Texas crude
oil daily to railroad tank cars for
trans-shipment to the East.
Before the line can be put into
service pumping and other equip
ment must be installed. This work
is expected to take another month.

1871 May Lose Apartments
As Navy Seeks Building

The 1877 civilians who engaged
apartments in the eight-story brick
structure being built at 1909 G street
NV, and who expected to move into
new, fresh apartments about Febru-
airy Is, probably will have to look
elsewhere for quarters. The Navy
Department has instituted condem-
nation proceedings and, if they are
successful. the tenants will be 800
enlisted WAVES and "a WAVES Of
flcers.
All new tenants will be WAVES
permanently stationed in Washing
ton, according to Navy plans Orig
inally the Navy had planned to use
the house as q home for transient
male officers coming to Washington
for short business trips.
Conventional military barracks are
now being erected for WAVES at
three naval training stations and
more than Is barracks already have
been requested by Navy stations
throughout the country to house
WAVES, the Navy said.
. These barracks are two-story
structures, each planned to house $50
women, and except for small rnodi-
flcations are similar to barracks for
Navy men.

Petroleum Council
Sees New Hardships
Before March |
Report Suggests Army
Ease Requirements
To Relieve Eost

The Petroleum Industry War
Council declared today that despite
the strong measures taken recently
to cut gasoline and fuel Oil consump-
ton in the East, further action must
be taken to avert serious hardships
in manv places" during January and
February. i:VU
The council adopted a report of its
economies committee saying that
even if stocks in certain areas"
were drawn upon during January
and February in further attack on
the eastern problem, the hardships
still would be inevitable unless, for
a short period" one of the following
steps was taken:
1.'More military requirements can
be taken from sources other than
the East Coast
2. "A few more tankers can be
spared witwhout impairing our first
responsibility of supplying our mill
tary forces and OUR allies with the
petroleum products they need"
New tankers,' the committee
said, might spend their break in
periods carrying oil from the Gulf
Coast to the East Coast. which
would have the advantage of facili-
tating repairs and adjustments"
On the other hand, the committee
predicted that after February. the
situation will be more comfortable
for several months" because, it said,
demand should decrease and sup
plies should be increased by compile
ton of the Texas-Illinois leg of the
4-inch war emergency oil pipeline.

Testimony on RFC Loan
Incorrect, Jones Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Jesse Jones declared yesterday
that recent testimony before Sem
ate subcommittee concerning an
RFC loan to the Gulf Distilling
Corp, Gretna, La, misrepresented
the transaction.
On Tuesday. subcommittee
headed by Senator Gillette. Demo-
crat, of Iowa was informed that a
$3.50 900 loan was made for grain
alcohol manufacturing equipment
despite the disapproval of the War
Production Board. E. W. Reid. chief
of WIPES chemical branch. said in
letter to the committee that the
loan was authorized last March
after Mr.. Jones, the RFC head. was
told that former owner of the plant
estimated that installation of grain
handling equipment should cost no
more than $4,000"
In a letter to Senator Gillette.
Mr.. Jones said:
"RFC made an industrial loan Of
$3.50, 900 to the Gulf Distilling Corp
Upon acceptable security under
statutory authority possessed by the
RFC.
RIGS authority to make such
loans is not dependent upon prior
consent of the WPB
Less than half of the loan-$270..
100 to be exact-was to be used for
machinery and equipment, including
100000 for grain distillation equip
ment.
Already 1920, 1913 has been repaid
on this loan. and it is current in
every respect"

Twenty-four CLIO machinists re-
turned to work yesterday on naval
repair jobs at the Alameda yards of
the General Engineering Corp,
ending one phase of labor dispute
which claimed the attention of
President Roosevelt and both the

The men resumed work after an

was caused by their unions demand
that they pay fines Of SIS apiece for
working at straight time during the
week end after Christmas. The
union agreed to withdraw the fines.
-Four Federal mediators continued

efforts to bring their organization
into line with the coast-wide ship
building and ship repair stabiliza-
ton agreement which provides time

sixth day of work, and double time

tails of how much a plan might af-
feet Treasury revenues, but ran into
too many complications in his ques-
ton and stopped before finishing
with the remark that he did not
wish to become too much involved
Mr.. Roosevelt joined in the gen.
eral laughter and said he thought
that was the way every one felt.
Bill Now in Congress.
Congress has before it already a
resolution providing for a pay-as-
you-go tax program, introduced yes
terday in the Senate by Senator
Capper, Republican, of Kansas and
in the House by Representative
Carlson, Republican, of Kansas.
Senator Capper said he would
press for its early enactment so that
it would be ready by March 15-the
day the first income tax installment
is due in 1913.
The House and Senate resolutions
are identical. They are modelled on

House Farm Bloc Asks
Federal Protection
For Dairy Cattle
Rurol Lawmakers
Soy Herds Are Being
Sold on Beef Market
Earlier Story on Page B-5.)

Earlier Story on Page B-s.)
By the Associated Press
Representatives from rural areas
vigorously demanded on the House
floor today that Congress or the adj
ministration act to protect dairy
farmers and to save their herds from
the meat market.
From both the Republican and
Democratic sides of the aisle came
assertions that shortage of farm
labor, resulting from the demands of
industry and the armed forces, was
causing thousands of farm auctions
and wholesale slaughter of dairy
COWS.
Joining in the appeals for help were
Representatives Bolton. Republican,
OF Ohio; Reed. Republican, of New
York; Edwin Hall, Republican, of
New York: Voorhis, Democrat, of
California; Hoffman. Republican. of
Michigan, and Rankin Democrat. of
Mississippi.
Representative Hall waved an
auction notice and declared that
one would be posted on every dairy
farm unless the farmers were sup
piled with manpower and better
prices. Representative Voorhis
urfied boost in prices to stimulate
production.
Representative SABBATH, Democrat,
OF Illinois, protested that farmers
already were getting sharply in
creased prices, and argued that they
were selling their herds because
they were getting three times the
normal price for their cows.
Representative Fish, Republican,
OF New York. inquired where Repre-
sentative SABBATH acquired his dairy
experience and where he pastured
his cows-"in Chicago's City Hall?"
The outburst ended only after
Majority Leader Mccormack took
the floor and told of experiences
OF a marine ofhcer who was wound
ed at Guadalcanal, and Of his slim
rations there.

plan to be adopted. It would for
give payment for individual in
come taxes for one year in order
to enable taxpayers to get on a
current basis He said he thought
every one was in favor of getting
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Saving Difficult.
He pointed out that paying in
come taxes currently would be
much easier than trying to save
the money one year to pay the tax
on that years income during the
following year. remarking that for
many, it is difficult to make the
necessary saving.
The real problem OF any such plan,
Mr.. Roosevelt continued, is whether
the Government will have to forego
any income tax receipts. He pointed
out that paying back taxes and cur
rent taxes, too, would be q difficult
problem for the taxpayer, so many
people have thought the Govern
ment should forgive all or part of
one years taxes to enable the indi-
vidual to get on q pay-as-you-go
basis.
That would be fine for the indi-
Vidual but the poor old Treasury
would be out Of pocket, he remarked.
Several correspondents ques-
toned whether this would mean any
actual loss of money to the Treas
ury since it would continue the COL
lection of income taxes each year
without q break. But the Presi-
dent insisted that the Treasury
would get less money eventually.
He admitted that the Treasury
would not suffer any immediate loss,
but said it would not get as much
income tax receipts over q 10-year
or longer period.
Under further questioning Mr..
Roosevelt admitted 1t was prob
ably true that the Treasury's loss
would be spread over the lives Of
all the present taxpayers.
One correspondent began asking
