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." United States Marines go ashore in style-towing a 37 mm anti-tank gun behind them.

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.

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 A- the hest we can with what we have, and we ask for a continuation of your splendid past co-opera- tion.
