Defects Delay
Pipeline Work
By JANET S. MADISON

UNITED Press staff Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 17-(UP)-The
Defense Plants Corp. has called for
a complete engineering report on
reasons for the defects that have
delayed operation OF the 1476-mile
Little Inch" pipeline which DPC
financed with SIS ZOO. 900 Of govern
ment funds. it was learned today.
Operation of the 2l-inch line,
which runs from the Texas refiner-
les to the Philadelphia New York
area, already has been delayed at
least two months by a series Of
more than 10 breaks resulting from
faulty pipe.
Now scheduled for use about the
end of January. the line may never
be able to operate at its originally
contemplated capacity OF 235,000
barrels Of petroleum products daily,
officials said.
The delay in completion Of the
pineline has cost the east coast
more than 100000 barrels Of pc
troleum products that might have
been delivered by this means, ac-
cording to one petroleum expert.
Prom the supply standpoint. the
margin of safety on the Atlantic
Seaboard has been reduced by that
much at least" he said. Though
this Is not an actual loss. insofar
as the line has not yet even been
functioning, 1t has necessarily put
a strain on east coast supplies, and
the margin between comfort and a
really serious situation is that much
tighter" he explained.
1t will be by the skin Of our
teeth" that east coast consumers
will be able to meet essential needs
of fuel oil, kerosene and gasoline,
he said.

On the sidelines was the threat OF

a rivers and harbors bill.
Together the measures would au-
thorize works to cost $1,000, 100000.

put the flood control bill aside until
tomorrow when Senator Austin (R.-

tory's most critical periods. Togeth-
or with the fourth term President,
he will be responsible for maintain
ing American leadership in t h e
move to bring a peaceful and pros
rerous world out of the suffering
and devastation of this war.
Prompt Senatorial approval Of the
appointment was freely predicted
although many ranking members
had favored their old colleague and
long time associate, War Mobiliza-
ton Director James F. Byrnes for
the top cabinet spot. Vice Presi-
dent Henry A Wallace also had
been mentioned. repeatedly w t h
strong labor backing.
Hull's illness cut short his career
at its peak. He had set his heart
on seeing through to creation the
Dumbarton Oaks plan for world Sc
curly organization. Stettinius had
been his and President Roosevelts
lieutenant in bringing that plan into
being in the Aglo American
Soviet Chinese conference here
last summer.
Associates have found Stettinius
devoted to both men. He has ex-
pressed to this reporter many times
his devotion to the policies OF Sec
rotary Hull. He has seen eye-to-eye
with Hull on tariff reduction to
promote freer world trade and on
ways to organize peace and security
around the wartime coalition OF the
United States, Britain and Russia
and the other United Nations.
Unlike the relationship he h d
with Sumner Welles, whose resig-
nation he finally forced more than
year ago, Hull liked and worked
well with Stettin;us, from the time
the latter joined the department as
undersecreary in September, 1943.
His rise to the high position he
now takes has been phenomenon
of wartime Washington. In 1889 he
became chairman of the War Re.
sources Board and al so headed
what eventually became the War
Production Board.
Subsequently in January, 1941, he
took over the Lend Lease pro-
gram. His work on this program
was considered so satisfactory that
when Mr.. Roosevelt and Mrs. Hull
were looking around for a new un-
undersecretary of State, Stettinius
was the one man whom Hull
wanted.
At that time he had won the ad-
miration of the Russians for his
handling of Lend Lease. This
strengthened his White House ties,
Since Mr.. Roosevelt has felt all
along that the main objective of
American postwar foreign policy
must be to make sure that Russia

HOUSE BIDDING
FOR SHARE IN
WRITING PEACE

WASHINGTON, Nov. o. Up -
The House bid against heavy odds
today for a share in the writing
Of a future peace.
A judiciary subcommittee unan-
imously approved constitutional
amendment which, if adopted,
would end for all time Senate's
traditional and exclusive voice in
ratifying treaties. But, to become
effective, the Senate has to agree
to the change.
The resolution provides that fu-
ture treaties be ratified by a SIM
pie majority vote by both branches
of Congress. The Senate now has
sole powers, by two-thirds vote,
to ratify international agreements.
The committe action was only
the first step on legislative path
filled with so many obstacles that
many members say privately that
the amendment doesn't have a
chance his session.
Even should the House pass the
resolution many members are con-
fident it will be trapped in the
Senate and die with the end Of
the 18th Congress next month.
House hackers want to 6 e it
through the short session Of Con-
gress so it can be submitted to
State Legislatures in January and
win possible approval in time to
give the House a voice in the
treaties which will come with the
end of the war.
Constitutional amendments need
ratification by three fourths of the
states. Forty State Legislatures
meet in January and approval Of
SO would be necessary.
