natural gas pipeline at the nearby
rural community of Moreno and po-

Iproximately $50 to evacuate imme-
diately. They said terrific explo-
sion might occur at any moment.
Firefghting equipment from nu-
merous cities, including Riverside,
Hemet and Perris, rushed to the
scene.
The break occurred near the main
section of Moreno, about 5 feet un-
derground.
Within short time, with a favor
ing wind, the fumes could be de-
tected at March Air Base, about 5
miles distant. The roar could be
heard a mile and a half away.
About 80 cars from the Riverside
County sheriff's office sped through
Moreno urging the residents to leave
Immediately. Some were evacuated
promptly.
The gas line is operated west to
the Colorado River by the Ell Paso
Natural Gas Co. From there it is
maintained in California by the
Southern California and Southern
Counties Gas Cos, which serve
numerous cities in the southern part

Democrats refused to follow, their
leaders in this matter definitely in
dicates that the Senate balance of
power resides with men not sub
ject to administration control"
However, administration leaders
ridiculed any suggestion of political
significance in the vote or that a
coalition is i'll the making. Splits
among the Republicans have been
forecast OH many of the major is
sues to be considered during the
present session.
The fate of the House-passed tax
exemption plan was nailed down by
three roll call votes in the Senate.
After the voting was done, Senator
Lucas, Democrat. of Illinois who will
be the Majority Leader after tomor-
row, said no further attempts for
tax exemption will be made.
But in the same breath, he brand
ed the Republican attack as "pri-
marily case of sour grapes" assert
ing the Republicans "are still griev-
ing over defeat" in last November's
election.
Senator Lucas said Congress is
"duty-bound" to take care of any
deficit and said he will be ready to
support a deficiency appropriation
request to meet it. The Inaugural
Committee, he. added, had acted in
good faith, since it had been as
sured it was "all right to go ahead

To Prove Soviet Peace
Talk, Lovett Says

Acting Secretary of State Lovett
said today the United States would
welcome Soviet action to prove the
good faith of recent more friendly
comments about the United States
from some Communist spokesmen.
At news conference Mr.. Lovett
was asked about his reaction to
assertions by Communist leaders in
France and Italy over the week end
and in the current issue of the
Soviet Embassy's Information Bulle-
tin here that better relations be-
tween the East and West are pos
sihle.
Mr.. Lovett said the State Depart
ment is naturally very much inter-
ested in these comments. He added
that it is apparent that they are
coming from individuals in various
countries. however, and said there
has not yet been any direct COM
munication from the Soviet gov
eminent which would indicate a
more serious approach.
He said it would be a welcome
change for example, to find a con-
structive suggestion or cooperative
activity by the Russians with re-
spect to Berlin and the Austrian
treaty.
Pointing out that Big -Four dis
cussions regarding a peace treaty
for Austria are due to be renewed
next month, MI. Lovett said there
should be evidence in the near fu-
ture of the ultimate Soviet intention
behind the individual comments
that have stirred interest.
One of the comments to which he
referred was a New Years greeting
to the American people by Boris
Izakov, Soviet journalist, in the cur
rent issue of the Soviet Embassy's
Information Bulletin.
Mr.. Izakov wrote that it seemed
to him the common aim" of the
Russian, American and all peoples
is "a stable and lasting peace" "
He added: May we succeed in the
new year of 1949 in taking a de-
cisive step toward achievement of
this aim

president Gets Bible,
Advises Reporters 10
Read Commandments

President Truman recommended
today that reporters make the Ten
Commandments required reading,
joklngly adding that they should
center on the Tenth. which he said
would give them "a lot of informa-
ton that will do you good-partic-
ularly in Washington"
The Tenth Commandment deals
with covetousness.
The Presidents comments came
as he formally received the Bible
which hometown friends in Inde-'
pendence, Mo-, are presenting to
him for use in taking the inaugural
oath tomorrow.
The Bible, in two huge attrac-
lively bound volumes, is one of
5000 specially prepared reproduc-
tions of the original Gutenberg
printed in Mainz, Germany, in 1856
Mr.. Truman will use both the
Independence gift and the little
Bible on which he took the oath
after President Roosevelt died on
April II, 1945.
Reporters got to see the gift this
morning when the President was
photographed with both Bibles and
the two friends from Independence
who brought their townsmen's gift
to the White House. They are
Frank Rucker, vice president of the
Independence Examiner, and Homer
Clements, superintendent of schools
in Jackson County. Mo-
The Gutenberg text is in Latin.
The Bible from Independence will be
taken back there after the cere-
monies tomorrow and after being
dedicated to the Presidents mother.
the late Mrs. Martha Truman, will
be placed temporarily in the Jack
son County Library.
Eventually, Independence friends
hope to establish Truman museum
in Independence, where presidential
papers and other items from his ad-
ministration will be collected, and
the Bible is to be put there.
The President has received an
other Bible, he told reporters-a
volume in Braille in the Hebrew
language. 1t came from Leopold
Dubov. executive vice president of
the Jewish Braille Institute of
America, in New York.

Fire in Big Inch Line
Brought Under Control

BATESVILLE. Ind, Jan. 19 P).-
Flames still leaped 20 feet high from
the Big Inch pipeline at nearby
Morris today, 9 hours after natura
gas in the artery caught fire.
But the fire was under control
said a spokesman for the Texas
Eastern Transmission Corp, opera
tor of the Big Inch and the Little
Inch lines.
Gas in the line was shut off at its
source, Longview, Tex, and pumping
stations along the line were closed
down to ease the pressure.
AS soon as the fire, which broke
out during power failure at a
pumping station, died out, engineers
will resume pumping gas through
the Big Inch, which supplies numer-
Gus Eastern States.
The gas will be routed past the
fire scene through bypass lines
laid long ago for just such an
emergency.
The fire broke out in a pumping
station about 1918 last night in the
pumping station from an electrical
arc in connection with power
failure, one workman said.
The flames shot 100 feet high
and were so intense that witnesses
were uncomfortable on a highway
200 yards away. The fire spread
to the 24-inch Big Inch line, but
did not reach the 20-inch Little
Inch line. which also goes through
the pumping station.
The contents of nearby steel
building housing idle pumping
equipment owned by the Federal
Government, were ruined. 1t was
unofficially estimated that this los!
would run to 100000.
Two of five workmen in the
Morris pumping stations were burnee
slightly. High winds were believed
to have caused the power failure
