U. 5. May Try 10 Ease
Coal Crisis by Piping
Gas in Inch Lines
Decision on Whether
PIun Is Feasible Will
Be Made Next Week

The Government may attempt
to ease effects Of the coal strike
by piping natural gas from Texas
to the East through the Big and
Little Inch petroleum lines, Fed.
eral officials disclosed today.
One said q decision win be made
early next week based on these
major considerations:
1. Whether operations can be
started soon enough to help alleviate
the fuel shortage, which involves
how long the strike may be expected
to last.
2. Whether the project is feasible
from an engineering standpoint.
Idle for More Than Year.
Agencies which have taken part in
the discussions are reported to in
clude the Interior Department, Army,
Navy, Federal Power Commission
and War Assets Administration.
The two pipelines, "a and 20 inches
In diameter, run from Texas to the
East Coast refinery area. They were
built by the Government at cost
Of $145, 800 900 and operated during
the war to carry petroleum. They
have been idle for more than year.
The plan under consideration calls
for cleaning out the lines and send
i ing gas through without waiting to
establish compressor stations which
would be necessary to utilize max
imum capacity.
Representatives of the gas indus
try have informed the Government
that it might be possible to begin
transmission Of gas within Is days
on this bases If the gas fields were
tapped directly. Hooking the Gov
eminent lines into existing private
lines might take 80 days.
Little Effect on d. C.
Only limited effect from such
use of the Government lines, if put
into operation, was expected in the
Washington area, gets its gas from
wells in West Virginia and Kentucky
through the Seaboard Pipeline Corp,
a subsidiary of the Columbia Gas
& Electric Co.
A spokesman for the Washington

there was an ample supply of gas
coming to this area. He added,
however, that If additional natural
gas were made available to the APP

Britain and u. 5.
ace Showdown
|0n Veto Today
France Standing Firm
On Demand That Ruhr
Be lnternutionuIized

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The
United States and Britain faced
a showdown with Russia today
over their efforts to limit use of
the veto in the United Nations
Security Council, and new diff
culties hindered progress on the
drafting of European peace set
Elements.
AS the Big -Four Foreign Ministers
Council wound up its third week of
peace-making sessions, this was the
tangled diplomatic situation:
1. France served notice she is
standing firm on her demand for
Reconsideration OF the German
Ruhr and believes that, contrary to
the American view, the political
future OF Germany should be mapped
before its economic problems are
solved. German discussions are still
to be undertaken by the Foreign
Ministers.
2. The veto issue, which the For
eign Ministers have lifted out of
United Nations debate temporarily,
was slated for discussion at $3.50 pm.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov was
expected to respond at that time to
British and American proposals for
big power agreements voluntarily to
limit use Of the veto. Most diplo-
mats foresaw Soviet disapproval in
view Of Russia's hard and fast oppo-
sition to any veto notifications.
3. Following the veto talks, in
which China joins with the Big -Four,
Mr.. Molotov, Secretary of State
Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary
Bevin and French Deputy Foreign
Minister Maurice Couve de Murville
were slated to resume their argu-
ments over the kind of government
to set up for the proposed free
territory Of Trieste.

While plans for Trieste govern
ment are slowly being whipped into
shape, the single most controversial
question left appears to be Mr.. Molo-
TOYS demand for an agreement that
British. American and Yugoslav
troops will be withdrawn from
Trieste three months after the Ital-
ian treaty is signed.
Mr.. Bevin and Mr.. Byrnes fatty
oppose this, claiming it might leave
Trieste without security forces at q
critical juncture. Mr.. Byrnes offered
