Georgia Congressmen Pushing
Plans for Proposed Network
Of Inland Waterways

In spite of the fact that the'
house last week voted down pro-
posals for a pipe line from 'Port St.
Joe to Jacksonvile. and' a barge
canal linking the Gulf and Atlantic
coasts of Florida across the north-
ern end of the state, hope. is still
high that the pipe line will be con-
structed.
Senator Arthur I. Vandenberg
of Michigan, in a hearing,Monday
before a senate commerce subcom-
mittee, 'inserted Into the record a
letter he had' received from Petrol-
eum Oo-ordinator Harold L. Ickes
which said that two eight-inch
pipe lines from Port St. Joe on the
west coast of Florida, to Jackson-
ville on the Atlantic, are under con-
sideration.
'Representative Vinson of Geor-
gia expressed the opinion Monday
that congress has given the presi-
dent sufficient authority to order
oonstructiion of pipe lines where
necessary, but that the shortage of
steel;was preventing action.
The Georgia congressional dele-
gtiaon has..sugge. ed .i Ltbuarge
canals across Iower "G'orgla and
upper Florida 'would' help otfedt' the
submarine-inducted gasoline short-
age on the Atlantic seaboard.
The congressmen would 'utilize
rivers by connecting them through
a series of short canals so that
petroleum products barged from
Texas, and other 'Gulf points to the
Florida coast could .continue north-
ward via the intracoastal water-
way after reaching Brunswick;, Ga.
Representative Vinson, chairman
of the House naval affairs commit-
tee, already has asked the navy to
survey, a route which would link
the St. Mary's river in Georgia
with the Suwannee river in Flor-
ida.
Representative Gibson of Geor-
gia also has suggested these 'pos-
sibilities: From the Gulf up the
Apalachicola river to the Flint,
and up the Flint to a -point near
Albany, Ga., where the distance is
shortest between the Flint and the
Ocmulgee. At this point the two
rivers would be connected by a
canal to let barges pass into the
Ocmulgee, down to the Altamaha
and on to Brunswick and the intra-
coastal waterway.
A spokesman for Governor Spes-
sard L. Holland proposed' at the.
hearing Monday that the federal
barge line be extended to Florida
and Atlantic coast inland water-
ways to ease the eastern oil short-
age. *
Thomas A. Johnson, Florida pe-
troleum co-ordinator, told the com-
mittee that the Inland Waterway
corporation, which now operates in
the Mississippi and its tributaries
and in Gulf waterways, should
'complete the whole .picture." A
state survey May 23 showed that
45 of the 351 tugs and 70 of the
521 barges in Florida were idle,
johnson said.
"We ought to use something of
Tli Dunkirk technique," observed
Senator Claude Pepper. "We ought
o use any form of transportation
we can put our hands on."

Our Country '", Right or Wrong

CONGRESS REJECTS PIPELINE-CANAL
(Reprinted From High Springs Telegram)
It is unlikely that our generation will see a
more pititful expression of statesmanship than
that which marked discussion of the Port St.
Joe-Jacksonville pipeline. An economic neces-
sity, construction of which would bring new
life to eastern seaboard business, yet its im-
portance lies not in that direction'; its con-
struction means the difference between life
and death for American seamen.
-;,By an overwhelming vote the -'ongress
Tuesday coupled barge canal and pipeline for
the purpose of discarding a troublesome bill
which is not fancied by transportation com-
panies and their principal investors (owners),
insurance companies, thus preventing passage
of a wartime measure of far-reaching import-
ance.
A Washington dispatch early in the week
carried this enlightening, if oily, statement:
"In the face of unexpected opposition, the
house leadership today had virtually aban-
doned legislation for construction of an oil
pipeline and barge canal across Florida as a
means of transporting oil and gasolirne'to the
eastern seaboard."
Last week the congress had turned a re-
ceptive ear to a project which would bring
the modern lifeblood of commerce to a sec-
tion, the eastern seaboard, which begins busi-
ness recession because the fluid upon. which
it depends has been cut drastically. Why was
that? When questions of real import come up
before your state legislature Friday and it
refuses to pass a bill in all but the vote, leav-
ing that for Monday-as a certain slot ma-
chine measure brings to mind--and Sunday
many enjoy a jaunt to Georgia, and then Mon-
day the bill passes unanimously, you look for
the Senegambian. In Washington they call
that lobbying.
That probably accounts for the overnight
change in congressional sentiment. But what-
ever soul-cleansing gesture the congress
makes to justify such action, let us put it this
way: By an unexplainable single vote the con-
gress shelved:an economically sound war. need
which will find reflection in every cash regis-
ter, business" venture and in every home of
this and others in the territory which makes
up the eastern seaboard. Just as if our con-
gress had brought a bag and scooped up the
business assset, defeat of the measure means
peril for your business and, to a degree, ef-
fectiveness of the national war effort.
A relatively cheap investment, a pipeline
from St. Joe to Jacksonville would provide
sufficient oil and gasoline to keep the wheels
turning and the customer buying throughout
the area served. Cost of it. for instance, would
have been less in the aggregate than the re-
tirement or pension grab our statesmen al-
most mulcted from the public purse, except-
ing, of course, the difference in viewpoint
First and primarily, then, it is safe to say
this--that is unless the voters of the east-
ern seaboard do as they did to overcome la-
bor's nullification of war industry-sit down
and tell every member of the house just what
they want and mean to get, a pipeline and


barge canal serving the whole Atlantic and
Gulf coasts. Setting forth at the same time
the fact that investments in rail or other
forms of transportation are second to the pub-
lic need, and that insurance policies won't be
recognized by others if we don't fight this
war to win.
A feature which congress discards with a
gesture, and which condemns needlessly the
lives of countless American seamen, has been
left to the last because we wish to have you
examine the record. We want you to view
what goes on along our coasts and along the
shores where waterborne commerce must
function because the rail lines of the nation
are unable, either by cost or capacity, to,
handle the load.
The value of life cannot be estimated unless
we take the gesture of the congress and say
it is negligible. But to us here at home with
a sense of value, it becomes necessary to look
at the matter of life as an extremely personal
thing, something which we may be called
upon to sacrifice for home and country. With
that-thought in mind let us tell you what hap-
pened between the tip of our state and the oil
plants in Texas during the month of May: 13
vessels were torpedoed and sunk with a corre-
sponding loss of life. It will be recalled in this
instance that one ship sank with a loss of life
exceeding North Sea records; all but two men
of a crew of 46 went to their death.
Since Pearl Harbor, or in a period of six
months, 76 cargo ships were sunk either In
the Gulf or rounding the tip of Florida, or In
the Atlantic bound between Gulf and Atlantic
seaboard ports. And worse can be expected
from now on, for the reason that last week
saw appearance in the Gulf of tiny Axis sub-
marines capable of traveling the relatively
shallow coastal reaches where light draft ves-
sels escape sinkings.
This could go on and on and on endlessly,
but you read the papers and know for your-
self what takes place-so much at least as
becomes available to newspapers. And
so long as cargo vessesl travel the Gulf to
Atlantic they will attract undersea raiders.
Write your congressman today demanding
action on the Florida pipeline, and barge canal.
Don't hesitate there, write the president and
ask him that he, in behalf of the national wel-
fare, authorize these much-needed measures.

NIGHTMARE OF H. H. & CO.
In the last war the kaiser was afraid oi
American manpower. In this war Hitler,
Hirohito and their stooges are even more
afraid of American industrial power and in-
ventive genius, according to reports from the
American correspondents who were interned
in Germany after Pearl Harbor and who were
recently exchanged for Axis citizens.
Of all the obstacles in his drive for world
conquest, Hitler fears most American war
production-and no amount of propaganda
can dispel that fear from the minds of the
German people. They have been sold on the
idea that this is a war on wheels, a battle ot
machines. And they know that no nation can
match the industrial and inventive genius of
America. The Axis nations fear our mass pro-
duction techniques, our engineering skill, our
ingenuity and enterprise. They know that
these have given this country the highest
peacetime living standards in the world.
Today they realize that our gigantic as-
sembly lines have stopped- turning out auto-
mobiles, radios and a thousand and one peace-
time products. They've learned that those as-
sembly fines are running now with accelerated
speed, gaining momentum, concentrating on
a single objective-building the tools we need
for victory.
The job is far from finished. There is a lot
of hard work ahead; we dare not let up for
a moment. But we're off to a good start, ana
we're going strong. Our enemies are fright-
ened, for today they know that we're beating
them in the battle of war production.

A man's sins generally find him out-but
his wife generally scores first.

is hard on

our Budget too.


so adjustments must be made!

Never in the world's history have wars been cheap
.. .but we'd much rather pay our share toward
Victory than shoulder the burden and price of
defeat.
Naturally all along the way we've had to make
numerous changes. Over 65 of our employees are
in the service and those remaining are carrying
the added burden of extra duties while they sub-
scribe liberally to the purchases of War Bonds and
Stamps. We've always tried to do more than our
share, and we're going to do just that in aiding
Uncle Sam's war effort. But to do this, we must
operate our business sensibly, too.
Fuel oil, an important element in the cost of gen-
erating electricity, will cost over $200,000 more
this year than last year. The rationing of auto-
motive equipment and tires has curtailed our use
of all but essential equipment.
So with all these problems in mind and in an ef-
fort to eliminate all unnecessary service calls ef-
fective May 15, we were forced to place a mini-
mum rharae of $1.00 on trouble calls which are
caused by defects in customers' equipment, such
as blown fuses, open switches, etc.
We realize the job we have to do and we intend to
