Y Vandenberg
Boom Seen

Washington. Apr. 15-AP - A
group Of mid-western Republican
legislators began talking today
about booming Senator Vanden-
berg Of Michigan for the 194S presi-
Dental nomination.
Most OF the lawmakers in this
group asked not to be named, but
Rep. Mundt (R-SD) who frequent
ly acts as a spokesman for the mid
westerners, showed no such hesi-
fancy.
Mundt proposed not only that
Vandenberg be considered for the
No. / COP post, but that Rep. Dirk
sen (R-lll) be chosen as his run
ming mate. Dirksen sought the par
tvs presidential nomination unsuc-
cesstully In 1914.
Mundt made his suggestion In

Five Seriously Injured in Crash
Natural Gas
May be Piped
to Michigan

Detroit, Apr. 15-AP-The Feder-
al Power Commission and the
Michigan Public Service Commis-
sion opened a Joint hearing today
on proposals for a new $7l.OOO, 200
pipeline to serve Michigan and
wisconsin communities.
The new line, which would bring
natural gas from Texas fields to
this state, has been proposed by
the Michigan-Wisconsin Pipeline
Company. petitioners in the case.
The new company is a subsidiary
OF the Michigan Consolidated Gas
Co.. which now supplies the Detroit
Ann Arbor district. Michigan Con-
solidated is partially supplied by
the Panhandle Eastern Company,
but its contract expires In six
years.
Opposition to the Michigan Wis
consin proposal has been expressed
by Panhandle officials, whose firm
also made plans for expanding Ia
cilities to serve more communities
in this area.
Plans of the new company call
for service to Detroit, Grand Rap
ids, Ann Arbor, Muskegon, Luding-
ton, Mt. Pleasant and other Mich
igan cities, as we'll as several In
Wisconsin.
Michigan Consolidated officials
prepared arguments that:
/. The new line would deliver
$50, 100000 cubic feet OF natural
gas on peak days which Is much
greater than present demand.
2. The Eield from which 1t Will
draw has reserves enough for at
least 80 years.
3. During the summer Michigan
Consolidated will be able to pump
gas into its natural underground
storage facilities for withdrawal on
peak days in winter.

His address was tribute to
agriculture and a protest against a

per It at the present time
The American farmer, he pointed
out, was an Independent producer
carrying on established liberty of
action and control upon his own
acres. But gradually this has
changed. He has been compelled to
buy dearly and sell cheaply. The
speaker cited the milk situation in
proof o. this. He said that the farm
er sought relief in methods OF
handling OF his milk product
through cooperatlves and at this
time there are 134 such organize
tions in Michigan.
However, he asserted, the farm
ers plight grows worse rather than
better. There Is an increasing scar

is necessary. acreage is falling of
