maintenance. These lines had been
living idle in the ground for more
than q year and idleness had meant
waste.
Recently, the WAA asked for bids
on these pipelines. At that time II
was insisting that there was q ne
cessity to sell them for oil use. bu'
there never was any such necessity
Some bids were submitted for OIL
use and some for natural gas use
The bids for the latter went Is hign
Is from $50 ,000, 600 to $l0O,0oO,oOo'
However, WAA Administrator
Littlejohn, after much backing and
filling, declined all bids, and tnere
the matter rests as Of today.
Gas Waste Is Great.
He did this 1t . time when the
bituu.nous mines were closed and
the country was in desperate need
of coal. II these pipelines had been
sold quickly for gas use. which Is
the only economical use to which
they can be put, 1t not only would
have meant lot Of money returned
to the Treasury, 1t would have made
it possible to transport to an eager
market large quantities OF natural
gas that are now going to waste In
the Southwest.
This waste is terrific. In Texas
alone, 1t is from 1000, ,Q00, 600 to
1000 o0o, 900 cubic feet day, with
an overall total waste OF 6S4,OOo'-
600 900 cubic feet annually.
what Mr.. Littlejohn should have
done was to call for new bids inn
,nediately and then accept the high
est cash bid for gas use, on the
condition that the line be put to
work Immediately, transmitting a
much gas as could be done without
compressors, until the lines could
be reconditioned and the necessary
compressors for the full use of the
lines installed.
But he did not do this. Instead
Secretary Krug Of the Interior De-
partment. after his department had
been found in default by the Slaugh-
ter COMMITTEES, hastily and without
too much consideration, leased the
lines to the Tennessee Gas d Trans
mission Co. until April 80. This had
the effect of creating monopoly
for the Tennessee Gas & TransmD-
sion Co., because the Big Inch pdps-
lines were the only possible COM
petitor Of that company.
81 Hfgher Bidder Turned Down.
: The Government leased these
lines to the Tennessee company ut
the rate Of cents per thousand
cubic feet Of gas clearing through 1t,
despite a higher bid Of cents from
another bidder. This competitor,
the Big inch Pipeline Co., also Of
fered to install S150,000 worth OF
improvements which would revert
to the Government at the end OF
the lease.
In addition, the Big Inch Pipeline
Co.. and others, were willing to pay
real money for these big pipelines
and dedicate them to permanent
use of gas carriers. This would
have meant continuing competition
for the Tennessee Gas & Trans
mission Co., which emerged as the
winner OF the emergency lease, al
though it was not the highest
bidder.
The real harm that was done by
this inconsiderate emergency lease
was to defer the final disposition
Of these Government-owned pipe
lines until the new Congress meets.
Considering the opposition Of the
coal industry, the coal miners, the
coal-carrying railroads and certain
oil interests, the chances are that
