In White Russian and
Polish Plans on Spain
Either Proposal Would
Produce No Positive
Result, Connolly Says
BY the Assoeio'ed Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Dec. 8.
The United States contended
today that adoption of Polish
and White Russian measures to
isolate Franco Spain could lead
to q bloody civil strife which
might eventually involve other
nations in a new war. a
Senator Connally, American dele
gate, setting forth the views of the
United States before the 54-membe1
Political Committee of the United
Nations Assembly, declared that the
approval of either proposal would
produce no positive results beyond
cutting the Spanish people off from
the rest of the world.
On the negative side, he said, they
might well lead to civil strife with
serious international complications" !"
He added that the proposals might
array various Spanish factions
against each other and 'enlist the
support of various members of the
United Nations"
Poland's Resolution Cited.
He referred to Poland's resolution
calling for a worldwide diplomatic
break with the Franco government
and the White Russian proposal ask
ing for economic sanctions
Senator Connally joined the
Spanish debate after a list of small
countries had spoken for and
against the various measures now
before the committee, including an
American resolution introduced
late yesterday proposing that the
Assembly ask Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco to step down as leader
of the Spanish government.
The committee decided to defer
debate on the arms limitation Ques-
tion until its afternoon session,
when Deputy Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrel Y. Visminsky was ex-
peced to give Russia's views on an
American proposal.
Moscow Asked for Instructions.
Mr.. Vishinsky told the committee

Two High Officials
Urge Private Control
Of Inch Pipelines
Horne pnd Symineton
Agree Federal Operation
Should Be Abandoned
By Don S. Worren

Two high-ranking Government
officials today told the House
Surplus Property Committee the
$143, ,000, 900 wartime Big Inch
and Little Big Inch oil pipelines
ultimately should be turned over
to private industry, but empha-
sized there was no effort to die
tate whether the lines should 30
for oil or gas use.
The witnesses, AdmiralF j. Horne,
chairman of the Arny-Navy Pc
troleum Board, and Assistant Sec
retary of War w. Stuart Symington
agreed the big mains should not be
kept in Government ownership or
operation.
Debate over the ultimate DISPOSE
ton of the pipelines that stretch
l 500 miles from East Texas to the
New York area was resumed before
the committee today as the War
Assets administration was conclud-
ing arrangements for the emergency
operation of the now idle pipelines
for the transportation of natural gas
to help relieve the coal shortage in
Central and Eastern areas.
Favors Recapture Clause.
Admiral Horne said the position of
the Army-Navy Petroleum Board
has been and is" that the lines
should be turned over to private in
dustry and that it had no recon-
mendations as to what industry got
the award.
He added that if the lines were
used for other purposes than trans
porting oil, for which they were built
when Nazi submarines were sinking
American tankers, they should be
kept recoverable to petroleum Any
sale or lease contracts, he said,
should contain recapture clause.
Asked if he thought the pipes
should be taken up and relaid in
line to the West Coast, Admiral
Horne said that in time of emer-
gency they would be necessary
to carry oil to the East Coast. He
said he would Like to see line to the
West Coast but would not want the
present mains shifted from the
East unless they were replaced.
Mr.. Symington was surplus prop
erty administrator from September
1945,, to the end of January, 1916.
He began his testimony today say
ing he wanted to dispel ''rumors'
that his surplus property report of
last January prevented WAA from
selling or leasing the mains for
natural gas transportation. He con-
tended ''tte door was wide OPEN
to gas use if WAA reached that de-
cision.
Three Possible Uses Outlined.
His so-called "blue book" report
on the pipelines was used as basis
for the calling for bids last July.
Mr.. Symington said his report out
lined three possible uses: For oil,
for a varied or "segmentation" use,
and conversion to natural gas II
