Northern Republicans don't care

The Northern Republicans be-

Pipe Line Company.

Pipe Line Company.
The completion of this project
would mean 100000 to 45O, 900 bar
rels Of oil daily from Saudi Arabia
to the Mediterranean The Depart
ment Of Commerce seems to object
primarily to shipping 20S,89O tons
Of steel necessary to complete the
7 remaining 832 miles Of the 1910
mile pipe line. Yet, to build sixty
two tankers which would be requir-
ed to haul 100000 barrels of oil a
day from the Persian Gulf to the
Mediterranean would involve more
than $4,000 tons of steel, or 49,
l110 tons more than for the pipe
line.
The Department of Commerce
has consented to further consider
in September, the export license
for the necessary steel to complete
the job Should the present ban be
upheld, it would not only mean a
daily loss of 100000 barrels of oil
to the desperately hard-pressed
countries of Europe, but also that
the section OF the pipe line already
completed, 238 miles of it repre-
|senting 53,587 tons of steel, would
lie there gathering rust.
1t seems to us that the time for
such a ban by the Department of
Commerce was before the project
was commenced. Now that it is
well underway, it would seem a
bit short-sighted to let 2SS miles
of pipe line rust, even if there
weren't a desperate shortage of
fuel the world over. Worse still,
however, would be to put $4,000
tons of steel into sixty-twO tank
/ ers, instead Of 208,S9O tons into a
pipe line both for the same pur-
pose; to bring to market 100000
barrels Of oil a day which, without
one or the other, will certainly
never get there.

peared and been greeted as a re-

While lots of folks were stirred

against the scientist.
AS near as your correspondent

acquainted with some Communists
and treated them like human be-
ings. The gOssips and SANDER
mOngers said that such a thing
could not be, unless Condor was a

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Truman called the Republican Con-
gress i'the worst" ever; and after
that he called a special session. Evi
identity Mr.. Truman is still dissat-
isfied. Here are II reasons:
l. Control imitation. The House
and Senate started hearings on the
program, but did not agree with
the President.
2. The President demanded low
cost housing Congress responds
with nothing doing about accept
ing the White House formula.
8. The Federal Aid to Education
bill will not be approved. Most
people believe that the American
school system should not become a
Waif Of Washington.
f. Increase social security pen
siOns-NO action.
g. The Presidents measure to
amend Displaced Persons Act-NO
action
6. The Presidents demand for
loan 70 Dullu United Nation s
headquarters. Deferred, until La
ter on.
z. Congress gave brief, perfume
tory hearings to International
wheat agreement.
8. No action on voting funds
for the iva.
9. No action indicated on the
Presidents demand to raise Fed
eral pay.
10. The Civil Rights Program
has been a dead duck for 80. years.
IL. The Presidents demand for
increased minimum wage levels
was put on the waiting list.
The "Score Card" proves that
the President took action for poll
ties only.
The Congress has tried to be pO-
lite (sOmetimes), but refuses to
cOncede to the wishes of President

Dewey is almost as good as in

can win support of Wallace and
