.herry Seeks Identity
OF Interests backinu
Middle East Pipeline
BY the Axxociated Press

A Senate committee attempted to-
day to find out just what strategic,
political and economic interests"
caused the Commerce Department
to give the go-ahead for an 1,l00-
mile Middle East oil pipeline.
These interests" were cited by
David K. E. Bruce, Assistant Secre-
tary Of Commerce, as the reason for
licensing the Trans-Arabian Pipeline
Go. to export 10000 tons of scarce
3l-inch steel pipe.
The Senate Small Business Com
mittee heard testimony yesterday
that this action may have deprived
the American oil industry of tubing
it needs to meet prospective Short
age of gasoline and fuel oil which
will leave some American homes cold
this winter. .
Chairman Wherry told reporters
he wants to get to the bottom" of
the Commerce Department decision,
which he contended may have a
terrific effect on the American
economy.
| Sees Marshall Plan Link.
Senator Wherry said he thinks a
proposal by 16 European nations
that the United States supply them
with 81, SOC, ,000, 900 worth of oil in the
next three years under the Marshall
plan had something to do" with the
export license action.
, Max Ball, chief of the Interior De-
partment's oil and gas division, tes-
tilted that he was not influenced by
the Marshall plan proposal when he
recommended issuance of the IL
cense.
Senator Wherry then called atten-
tion to September 30 letter by Mr..
Bruce which was placed in the COM
mittee's record.
In this, Mr.. Bruce said the deci-
sion to go ahead with the steel ex-
port was arrived at after consul
tation with and recommendations
of other Government agencies that
the strategic. political and economic
interests of the United States made
such action desirable"
May Call Forrestal Again.
Senator Wherry said he may re-
call Secretary of Defense Forrestal
to explain in public why he thinks
the line should be built. Mr.. For
restal already has told closed ses-
sion of the committee that the prof.
ect for linking Arabian fields to the
Lebanon seacoast should get high
priority.
Mr.. Ball said yesterday one reason
for building the line is that the
tanker situation is bad.
He said that even if the 1,lO0-
mile line is built and all of the
tankers now available and under
construction are put in use, the
world will just barely meet its oil
requirements of 100000 barrels
daily in 1850.
However, Russell B. Brown, repre-
senting the Independent Petroleum
i, Association of America, contended
there are tankers available for
transportation of the Arabian oil.
so there is no necessity of building
the trans-Arabian line.
Well find out about all Of these
matters and hold some more hear
ings," Senator Wherry told reporters.

of another total war"
Moral Strength
The general, who spoke from a
prepared address, said that
'basic to the success OF any pro-
gram among nations is the mill
tary, economic and moral
strength of those who support 1t.
Even the most righteous endeavor
requires of it's participants the
ability to accomplish their end"
Earlier, the Farm and Home
members had heard newspaper
columnist : lecturer Dorothy
Thompson; Rep. Pace D-Ga);
and J.. B. Hutson of New York,
president of Tobacco Associates
Inc. They spoke on topics ranging
from the future Of tobacco and
cotton to atomic warfare.
"Moral strength" General
Eisenhower continued, "cannot be
measured by the size or wealth
of a nation; the weakest may ex-
coed the most powerful in great
ness of spiritual fibre. Even in
it's economic contribution, the
least nation may be as important
as the strongest because of unique
material resources and the skill
and initiative Of it's citizens.
Must Meet Demand
But in all these elements-the
moral, economic and military -
the United States, by common
consent, must meet the demands
of leadership toward world order.
1t is a difficult role to till-partic-
ularly when noble purpose is SUBJ
jected to ridicule and sacrifice
earns only villification. But, for
our own future, if for no other
reason, we must not forsake hui
mamty's cause. Even by practical
and temporary isolation from the

would fatally weaken the hopes o!

the crisis was far from over, re
liable sources said.
In addition to the question OF
Maximos' acceptance of the pre-
miership, the status of Gen. Ma
poleon Zervas, leader Of the
Nationalist party still had to be
ironed out, these sources said.
1t was understood Zervas' party
was to have two portfolios. but
there was strong opposition to Ter
vas himself taking a post. He was
public order minister in the pre-
vious cabinet.
Tsaldaris Fails
Maximos, "a, former governor
Of the Bank of Greece, was asked
to again head the government
because Constantin Tsaldaris, the
party chief. couldn't get support
from leaders of other parties.
Seven party chieftains were in
almost continuous session through
out tonight. It was reliably report
ed that two-George Papandreau,
Social Democrat, and Sophocles
Venizelos, Liberal-had been dele
gated to try to talk Maximos into
resuming his post.
Papandreau and Venizelos were
two of the three cabinet ministers
whose designations caused the col
lapse of Maximos' government
Aug. %. The third minister was
Panayoti Kanellopoulos, National
Unionist (Republican), who today
also supported Maximos.
It was understood Tsaldaris had
taken the names Of % ministers
to King Paul for approval. Gen.
A1exandris Papagos, hero of the
campaign against the invading
Italian army, repeatedly has ac-
copied a new post of commander

tunity, and certainly this a be
said of North Carolina.
Reviewing the reasons for
North Cardinals progress, Um-
stead pointed out that schools and
roads were the frs. two great
steps taken by the State during
this century.
"The medical care program is
the third great progressive step
taken by North Carolina" he de-
clared, sand I predict it will bring
a new day in medical care and
better health conditions"
Lauds Health Program
The Senator said that lit is
clear that the people of North
Carolina are determined that ev-
cry child born in the State shall
have the opportunity to develop
an educated, trained mind in a
sound body. Good health and
good education are essential parts
in our planning for better citizens
and a better State"
An advocate of Federal aid for
public education, the junior Sena-
tor from North Carolina told the
Association delegates that Amer
lean education - the keystone Of
Democracy - is facing the great
est crisis in its history. I can see
no solution other than assistance
from the Federal Government.
North Carolina must make ire
mendous OUTLAWS for buildings and
equipment which could not be
replaced during the war years.
The birth rate beginning with the
war period has greatly increased
and the public schools are just
beginning to feel this new burden"
Important Question
He described the school crisis
as one Of the most important
domestic questions now before the
people of America" and said, Il
hope that everywhere, especially
here in North Carolina. there may
be a continuation of u deep con-
Germ and interest in the condition
of u public schools"
The recent decision granting the
South and West a ten per cent
rate reduction on classified freight
rates was warmly praised by the
Senator.
This action partially wipes out
the unfair and unjust freight rates
which have burdened Southern
shippers, and Southern industry
for years." he said.
