Gov't Pipelines to
Carry Natural Gas
Into East for Fuel
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, (UP)
— Eastern consumers today were
promised partial relief from the
coal shortage within a week
through the medium of the Big
and Little Inch pipelines.
The lines, used to pump oil
during the war and idle since,
will begin in about five days to
carry natural gas to Eastern
householders and essential in-

dustrial users. They were ex-
pected to serve major citics of
Ohio, many in Indiana, and pos-
sibly some in Pennsylvania. This
was expected to free additional
coal for others areas.
The emergency measure will
not solve the fuel crisis, however.
At the outset, the lines will carry
only 50,000,000 cubic feet of gas
daily — equivalent to 2,000 tons
of coal, which is one-tenth of one
per cent of daily'coal production.
After three or four weeks, the
lines will be carrying about 150,-
000,000 cubic feet daily, but even
at capacity operation, they can
transport only enough gas to care
for three per cent of eastern fuel
needs.
The Tennessee Gas and Trans-
mission Co., of Houston, Tx., was
granted permission by the Fed-
eral Power Commission to oper-
ate the lines on a temporary
basis. Operations will continue at
least 120 days.
The House Surplus Property
Committee meanwhile resumed
hearings on the ultimate disposi-
tion of the lines. Former Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes and Assistant Secretary of
War W. Stuart Symington were
among those scheduled to testify.
U. S. Citizenship
Goal of German
Top Scientists
EL PASO, Tex. Dec. 3. (U.P.)—
American citizenship Is the goal
of most of the 118 German scien-
tists now in the United States
working on rocket experiments
for the army because they be-
lieve "America will go further
in research than any other
nation.
These scientists, whose V-2
product almost brought England
to her knees in the latter stages
of World War II, now arc work-
ing for peace. Brought from Ger-
many at the end of the war on
a contract basis, they were under
protective custody* of the army
until recently. Now they are free
to come and go In the vicinity
of £l Paso but can't cross into
Mcxico. Their families, averaging
three and one-half dependents
for each man, will be brought to
the United States in February.
The army had n two-fold pur-
pose in bringing the men to this
Says Space Platform
Could Be Built
EL PASO, Tex. Dec. 3. (U.P.)—
Dr. Wernher Von Braun, 34-year-
old top German scientist who
is responsible for development
of the Nazi V-2 bomb, believed
today that a space platform 5,000
miles above the earth was "tech-
nically and theoretically" possible
country. It wanted to find out (1)
how to assemble the Nazi V-2
rocket and receive instruction on
its operation and (2) find out
what the German scientists had
planned for the future and to de-
termine if they were ahead of
this country in research.
In return for their services, the
army provides for their families,
guaranteeing the amount of food
prescribed for persons living in
the American zone in Germany.
The army also provides tempo-
rary duty pay from which de-
ductions are made for room,
board and laundry. Officials said
that a "good manager" would
have approximately $1 daily left
over for extras such as cigarettes
and clothing.
In an interview arranged by
army ordance officials at Fort
Bliss, the inventor of the weapon
that almost put an end to
"British will to fight" in World
War II, said that the platform
would be used as a refueling
station to the moon. He said that
it was a definite possibility within
the next 10 years.
Pressurized, suits would have
to be worn at that altitude, he
said, because of the extreme cold
and lack of oxygen. He said also
that the platform would have to
be assembled at the 5,000-mile
mark by sending the parts up
! separately.
