Thames Tug Has Been Seeking
Action In Vain For so Years

now busy Fleet Street-five cen
turtles after the last such event
was held.
And the tug was ordered in an
act of parliament regulating the
use of the Tower Bridge across the
Thames in 1894. The bill said a
tug ought t be held ready to aid
any ship which might get into
difficulties with the bridge.
No ship ever has. Quite probably
no ship ever will. The bridge is no
more complicated than any other
bridget just looks that way. But
good Queen Victoria's parliament
decided to take no chances.
That little item in the 1894 bill
cost the Corporation Of the City of
London a neat 81, 900, 900 since
then, at the rate of $4O0 a week.
BY tardition the tug always has
q tons of coal in its bunkers. NO
one knows exactly why.
Captain Richard Hollingum, 70,
spends most of his time trying to
stave off claustrophobia. All day
long ships slip by on their way to
Baku and Mozambique and Tonga
in the South Seas and far away
ports that all sea captains chat
about over mugs Of ale in water
front cafes.
Captain Hollingum avoids such
places. 1t is embarrassing to an old
"sea dog" to have to admit that
he isn't going anywhere and prob
ably never will.
Engineer william Adie, IL, who
joined the operators of the tug
when he was demobilized after
the Boer War so ears ago, is more
optimistic than his skipper, prob
ably because he is younger. He
still feels the tug will take off on
it's great adventure-half a mile to
the bridge.
Actually this is the second tug
to have the watchful waiting as
signment. The first did take a trip.
A buzz bomb hit it n night dur
ing the war-and it travelled thirty
fathoms to the bottom.

Basking Sharks Suggest

Say again, but basking sharks, not
whales, are the targets fro today.
Basking sharks are deep-water
monsters that grow to a length OF
IS feet and a weight of four tons.
However, they are vegetarians and
never have been known to attack

Sardine packing companies have

U. 5. Military Mission
Enlarged at Request
Of Greek Government
By the Assoeioted Press

The United States is enlarging
its advisory military mission in
Greece at the request of the Greek
government, the Army announced
today.
The present advisory staff Of 81
men and officers will be increased
by about 80 officers and 80 enlisted
men, Secretary of the Army Royal
disclosed.
The augmented mission, intended
to help Greek forces assemble and
use equipment being sent them
under the Truman doctrine" plan
for the Greek governments fight
against guerrilla forces, will fur
nish advice to Greek Army compo-
nents down to the level OF divisions
Secretary Royal said.
Army officials told reporters none
of the American officers will serve
in command capacities.
Authorities here consider it essen
tial that Greece bring the guerrilla
fighting under control before it can
undertake an effective recovery
program.
The recovery plan also is part OF
the Greek-Turkish assistance pro-
gram, proposed by President Tru-
man and approved at the last ses-
sion of Congress to help combat
communism in Europe.
The Greek government troops have
been handicapped in putting down
guerrilla forces because the guerrillas
shift from base to base in mountain
areas an along the Greek borders.

u. s. Frees Big Inch
And Little Inch Today
To Garry Gas 10 North
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Title to
the Big Inch and Little Big Inch
pipelines will pass today to the
Texas Eastern Transmission Co.,
which will use them to funnel nat
ural gas into the Northern part of
the country.
The huge lines cost the Nation
about s146,000,oo0 to construct.
Texas Eastern Transmission, a
newly organized firm, will pay the
Government s143.127 900 for the
pipelines in the largest surplus war
assets sale to private ownership on
record.
Although Uncle Sam is divesting
himself of the lines, the sales con-
tract contains provision under
which the pipelines are rated a war
time reserve facility and can be
reclaimed for certain critical periods
for national defense. The purchaser
also is required to operate the lines
in a manner to permit their recon-
version to oil in the event of war.
South Provides Raw Fuel.
The Southern end now is dipped
in the natural gas fields of Texas,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. On the receiving end are
Philadelphia and portions of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky.
The lines were declared surplus
property in April, 1916, and in the
winter of 1946-47 were first used to
transport natural gas when leased
by the Tennessee Gas Transmission
Co. In competitive bidding later,
Texas Eastern was successful and
was given an interim lease for oper-
alton on May /, this year.
The lines have been sending with
out compression about 100000, 900
cubic feet of natural gas day into
the Appalachian area. Under pro-
posed plans the pipes will be send
ing much-needed fuel to the North
at the rate of $4,000, 100000 cubic
feet day by February /, 1948. BY
August, 1948, the delivery capacity
is expected to be stepped up to
433 600 900 cubic feet.
The total cost of equipment and
construction on the lines is esti-
mated at $25 100000, including ST.
100000 for plugging leaks and re-
placing faulty pipe.
More Than 1000 Miles Long.
Big Inch. placed in operation In
August, 1943, was designed to trans
port 100000 barrels of crude oil a
day. 1t is 24-inch transmission
line originating in Longview, Tex,
and extends 1854 miles to Phoenix
vile. Pa, with two lateral lines
from Phoenixville to the Philadel-
phia and Linden, N. j. areas.
Little Inch. operated first in
March, 1914, was designed to send
235,000 barrels of gasoline a day to
vital wartime centers. Its 20-inch
pipe runs about 1,479 miles from
Beaumont, Tex, to Linden.
Present contracts call for delivery
of 417,000,0O0 cubic feet of gas day.
