Secrecy on Pipeline
Across Burma Lifted;
Main Portion Is Built
BY tie Associated Press.


NEW DELHI. India, Nov. 20.-A
two-year blanket of secrecy was
lifted today with disclosure by
American Army headquarters here
that the main portion of a fuel pipe
line which ultimately will reach
from Calcutta to China across
Burma had been completed.
Already the longest military op-
irrational pipeline in the world, its
construction was one of the wars
most remarkable engineering feats.
When completed it will at least
have double the capacity of the
Ledo Road, which it was built to
supplement. So far 1t has crossed
three rivers and when finished it
will cross several more. Allied
forces in North Burma already are
being supplied gasoline by it.
Exact Course Is Secret.
Along railroads, highways and
streams it follows the main arteries
of travel northward from Calcutta
into Northeast India, where 1t swings
over into Burma toward China. The
exact course the pipeline takes after
leaving the beginning of the Ledo
Road in Assam cannot be disclosed
for military reasons.
"a dispatch from Chungking
said the line runs from Calcutta
through the Brahmaputra Valley
to Assam and then across the
Patkai range and is constructed
of 4 and inch pipesJ
One part of the system is used to
fill the gigantic tanks of Super For
tresses in India and one of its ma
jor tasks is to feed gasoline into the
planes ferrying fuel to Maj. Gen.
Claire L. Chennault's American 14th
Air Force in China.
The effect of the pipeline in China
will be to free much of the air
transport and Ledo road tonnage
for carrying guns and other war es-
sentials to the Chinese and to the
14th Air Force. 1t will mean Gen.
Chennault will have gasoline for a
vastly increased air force, while

els instead of being required to
carry its own fuel. f i.'
Will Save, Plane Space.
Heavy bombers, which at times
have had to help haul gasoline over
the Hump in order to continue
raids from China, may be used full
time for combat duty when the line
is completed.
Brig. Gen. Thomas Farrell, for
merly of New York State, who is
the chief engineer on the job. said
so far an equivalent of more than
two Liberty shiploads of pipe al
ready had been used on the line
and much more will be necessary
before the job is finished. The
pipe. brought from the United
States. is laid by Chinese, Indian
and American crews directed by
American pipeline experts.
| At his headquarters in Myitkyina
in Northern Burma 1t. Gen Dan
I. Sultan, American commander in
the India Burma theater, said the
pipeline would be Of great impor-
tance from a logistical standpoint. VI

To increase the opportunities for all =

of the chronological know how" it has
accumulated during the war to put on
the market the finest products that can
be made, at the lowest prices for which
they can be sold.
1t proposes to seek, through unending
study and research in the fields of pro-
duction and distribution, every possible
means for lowering prices still further
over the years, SO that more of the good
things of life can be enjoyed by more
and more of the people.
1t proposes to encourage full and free
competition to avoid restraint of trade
and so assure better and better values.

INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE

I'm thousands Of communities all over
the country, the appeals OF the National
War Fund and Community War Chests
are drawing to a close Once again the
American people have staunchly stood by
their men and women in the armed forces
their hard-pressed civilian Allies abroad,
and needed welfare services here at home.
And once again the men and women OF
the American Federation Of Labor have
amply borne their share of responsibility
in this campaign
But the actual campaign, the month de-
voted to the concentrated effort OF fund
raising, is not the whole story OF labor.s
contribution to this vital work. Labor's
role in the National War Funds activi-
ties is vear-round matter. Labor's point
of view is expressed, through the Labor
League for Human Rights and other ac-
credited representatives, on all War Fund
levels. from the National War Funds ex-
ecutive board and budget committee right
down to local War Chest committees In
what is after all the real work OF the Ma
tional War Fund, the budgeting OF relief
moneys. ALLEGATIONS Of relief and routing
Of assistance to points where it is most
desperately needed labOr's cooperation
is not only accepted-it is sought.
We can all remember time when la
boris isolation from the rest of the com
munitv was a problem which seemed IN
soluble. a time when labor as an organized
force was not only misunderstood and
mistrusted, but bypassed Much Of this
isolation has disappeared in the past three
wears, three years during which labor
desire to aid in all phases Of the war effort
has brought it into the forefront OF com
munitv activities Of all kinds
But no part of labor's contribution tC
the war effort-not labor's work on the
production line, not labOr's steadfast de
termination to live up to the no-strik'
pledge. not even labor's war bond pur
chases-have brought it so much credlt
admiration and respect as have ITS actlV
tiles on behalf Of these war relief an'
community welfare drives.
This new attitude is good for the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, good for th
community. And in the difficult year
ahead. we of organized labor must see
it that these newly forged bonds are nc
merely maintained but are strengthene
as well.
