 4. Dewey and his running mate will carefully coordinate their ma jor speeches to eliminate conflicts and contradictions. This is to avoid what happened in the l94O campaign, when the late Wendell Willkie and his running mate, the late Sen. Charles McNary, occa- sionally talked at opposite poles.

clamoring for the piping-Stand- ard of New Jersey, Socony- Vacuum, Texas Company, and the Stand- ard of California. They want it to complete their 1l00-mile line from the Persian Gulf to the Le- banon coast. So far only 300 miles have been installed. The issue is hotly involved in both domestic and foreign pol icies.
 Independent U s. oilmen are vio- lently against any export of the scarce piping. They have been yelling for months that their op- erations are being crippled for lack of the material. Also, Army and Navy chiefs are skeptical about the Trans-A Arabian pipe line. Testifying before the Senate Small Business Committee, which investigated the matter, they ex- pressed grave doubt the line could be defended in the eve-,s cf war. They advised concentrating on de- veloping new oil sources in the Western hemisphere.
 The big oil companies argue their pipeline would pay itself off in a few years in huge oil supplies. Even if subsequently, lost, they contend, it would still be a good proposition for the present.
 Another equally touch factor is bitter attack on the pipeline by the embattled Israeli government. It charges the shortest most feasible and cheapest route is into Haifa, but that the oil companies are deliberately running the line through the Arab lands to favor them
 The Israeli control a British owned refinery at Haifa. So far, the British have refused to supply the plant with crude oil. Rumania has offered to do so in return for refined products. The Israeli are threatening to make such a deal , unless the British fork over.
