LENrNGRAD GETS EsToNIAN
SHALE GAS

MOSCOW - Gap Lenin-
grad has received its first gas
through a pipe line leading to the
Estonian shale fields.
The immense Estonian oil shale
deposits thus have been put to
work to make the northern city
less dependent on coal hauled
from long distances away in the
Donbass. Tass, announcing this
development, praises it as am ac-
complishment of Soviet technol-
ogy. The Soviet news agency
states that every last bolt and nut
in the whole pipeline and in the
compressor stations as well as in
the factory which extracts the
gas from the shale was made in
the Soviet Union. The Soviet
news agency also claims that this
is the first time gas has been ex-
tracted on commercial scale from
oil shale ana that this was done
by Soviet technicians despite pre-
dictions of capitalist technicians
that the project would not be
successful.

INDIA WATCHES COTTON
IMPORTS

NEW DELHI TAP India.
the second largest cotton-grow-
ing country in the world, has to
import annually medium and
long staple cotton varieties worth
about $75,000,000. This excludes
the quantity she imports from
Pakistan.
Partition of the Indian sub
continent left vast tracts of cot
ton soil in Pakistan and all the
cotton mills in India. The total
annual output in both the domin-
ions is on the average 1000, 900
bales of which Pakistan's share
is one-fourth.
Pakistan promised to supply
India $4,000 bales of cotton in
return for cloth.
The government of India is
planning to make India self-suf-
ficient in cotton and has sug-
gested the production of more
coarse cloth and less finer vari-
cites to reduce midas depend
ence on foreign cotton.

WARS. al YEARS NEEDED
TO BUILD SHIP

NEW YORK ZAP Most
freighters can be constructed in
a few months. but there is afloat
today a former American cargo
vessel that required all of two
World Wars and twenty-one years
to build. Launched too late for
World War /, this holder of a
unique shipbuilding record was
laid up as an unfinished hull I'M
til World War II forced its COM
pletion, the American Merchant
Marine Institute reveals.
The Trento slid down the ways
at Pascagoula,s Miss, in 1920, but
it was decided not to finish the
ship which was placed in layup
at Mobile. But in 1941, when war
caused another ship shortage, the
Trento was quickly completed,
her hull being remarkably pre-
served. Renamed the Philae and
placed under the Panama flag,
because of Neutrality Act restric-
tions on the movements of Amer
lean ships, she served throughout
the war. Recently she was sold
to Norwegian owners who named
her the Thorscape.

E TRAINS HAVE
RUBBER TIRES

PARIS -(AP)-France has i40
rubber-tired railway cars, that
have gone 10000, 900 miles since
they were introduced in 1882. The
cars weigh Is tons, compared with
steel-wheeled cars of 33 tons.
When a tire goes flat, a light
warns the driver and he stops at
the next division point for a
change. No danger is involved,
because adjoining tires carry the
weight.
The trains run in almost COM
plete silence and with increased
smoothness at 80 miles an hour.
A tire lasts for $4,000 miles.
They cost more to operate be-
cause Diesel engines are too
heavy for the tires and are re-
placed by gasoline engines, which
r more expensive to operate.
