Litt|ejohn Predicts
Additional Pipelines

War Assets Administrator Robert
M. Littlejohn predicted today that
additional conduits may be built
alongside the ig Inch and Little
Inch pipelines which are being sold
for the movement of natural gas
to the Eastern seaboard.
The lines are going to the newly
formed Texas Eastern Transmission
Corp, of Houston, Tex, for $143,-
$4,000 in cash-or about SO per
cent of the original wartime cost to
the Government.
1.-THE high prices offered were the
result of long-range vision," Mr..
Littlejohn tlod a reporter. Il think
that more pipelines-either for gas
or oil-may be laid along that right
of way"
Sale to the Texas concern, high
est of six bidders, whose proposals
were opened by WAA last Monday,
still hinges on approval by Attorney
General Clark and on the granting
of a Federal Power Commission
certificate for operation. Action by
the Attorney General is expected
within a week, WAA officials said
May Operate May l.
Mr.. Littlejohn, who announced
yesterday afternoon that his
agency's Real Property Review
Board recommended the sale and
that he concurred in the recon-
mendation, believes the matter now
is finally out of WAA's hands. He
predicted also that the pipelines
will be operated by the Texas group
on May 1, when a temporary lease
held by the Tennessee Gas & Trans
mission Co. expires.

Old Age Threatening
U. 5. Highway System,
Road Builder Warns
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Charles M
Upham of Washington, engineer
director of the American Road
Builders Association, declared today
that the Nation 'is now faced with a
situation which threatens to cripple
it's principal asset, its highway
transportation system"
Ir an address before the 28th an
nual convention of the Associated
Equipment Distributors, Mr.. Upham
said use of highways in 1916 was at
an "all-time high"
This is happening after long
lag in highway construction" he
continued" The program of the
1930s never met the traffic demand,
ana the inactivity in the highway
program during the war years
brought the program to near
standstill.
"As a result of these conditions,
the Nation now is faced with a sit
uation which threatens to cripple its
principal asset, its highway trans
portation system.
q" The primary highway sys-
tenn is suffering from old age. Much
of it was built in the days of low
vehicle speed and traffic volume.
Hence there are many hazards
which should be removed by build
ing new highways according to
modern design standards.
of rf
miles Of the system has become a
serious factor from the standpoint of
safety and maintenance costs. In
too many instances tWo-lane high
ways are carrying four Lane traffic"
Mr.. Upham gave this picture of
the highway construction field for
1947:
"Shortages of critical materials
will entend into 1947. However, this
situation will improve as production
increases. There should be an in
crease in the supply of labor, i'm
provement in efficiency, and in
creased stabilization in costs. FL
nancing is generally ample. and the
highway program in 1947 should
show a considerable increase over
1946.
"* Full demand for consLruc-
ton equipment cannot possably be
met in time for this construction
season, nor will the situation in re-
gard to steel be entirely Strengthened
out. 49,.
Lumber, according to Govern
ment reports, will be critica
throughout 1947, and in certain
areas cement production will fall
below an adequate working level"

reduction to a trade association

Two weeks ago President Truman
announced that the Associated Con-
tractors and the AFL construction

set up committees for the settlement
of disputes-though only disputes
which both sides agree to submit.

important achievement.

Red Mountain Range
Found as Byrd Flies ::
Nearly 10 South Pole
By n. D. Quiqq

Representing the Combined Ameriean Press
LITTLE AMERICA, Feb. IA De-
iayed) R.-Rear Admiral Richard
E. Byrd flew within ITO miles OF the
South Pole today while leading ex-
ploratory flights by four Navy Ski
planes which resulted in discovery
of major mountain range.
Admiral Byrd said his plane could
have turned from its map-making
and gone across the pole, but did
not because. there was more i'm
portant exploratory business at
hand. He is the only man ever to
havef flown over both North and
South Poles.
The converted Douglas transports
penetrated far into the Antarctic
unknown, seeking to fill in another
pie>shaped blank in the Antarctic
map. Sparkling subzero weather,
ending a long period of blizzards
and overcast, gave the explorers ex-
cellent visibility.
1,400 Miles Covered.
Admiral Byrd's orange and silver
plane took off the snow runway of
Little America w into the Antarctic
midnight sunlight and covered a
varied 1,400-mile course. 1t was
piloted by Maj. Robert r. Weir of
Philadelphia.
A second plane piloted by 1t.
George H. Anderson of Holly
Springs, Miss, took off 80 minutes
later. 1t caught whistling tail wind
and flew southeast at 1870 miles an
hour beyond the Horlick Mountains,
last mapped outpost in that direc-
ton.
The plane penetrated $50 miles
southeast of Little America. Two
other planes left later.
Volcanic Origin Indicated.
Beyond the Horlick Mountains 1t.
Anderson's flight discovered ridge
shaped range of reddish colored
mountains rising $4,000 feet. Geolo-
gists said the color indicated possible
volcanic origin.
Admiral Byrd said his flight also
sighted in the distance a vast noun
tain range he believed would dove
tail with 1t. Anderson's discovery
when the serial photographs were
pieced together.
1t. Anderson flew his plane over
the Horlick Mountains and began
climbing because of the high new
range jutting 5000 to 5000 feet out
of the snow. He said it looked like
the reddish dust you see sometimes
aroud Honolulu
The plane climbed to 10000 feet
and few at that height for As min
utes until some crew member got
kinda fuzzy" because they had no
oxygen equipment.
1t. Anderson said the new range
was considerably farther south than
the Horlicks and appeared to be
an extension of the Queen Maud
Range. 1t hooked off, scythelike,
toward the Weddell Sea. Terrain
in the direction toward which the
mountains swung is particularly
mysterious There is theory 1t may
be strait joining the Ross and
Weddell Seas, and cutting the Ant
arctic continent into two segments:
Admiral Byrd's plane turned back
because of low oil pressure in one
engine after crossing an unknown
plateau. The admiral said weather
in direction of the pole was cloudy,
and his crew could not have made
map photographs if they had chosen
to fly over the pole.
