PIPE-LINE DELAYS ‘The neéw oil pipe-line from Texas to southern Illinois will be finished about mid-December. Thanks to Secretary Ickes’' oil men, the pipe- line has been built in record time. But though it hasn't leaked out yet, the line when finished, can’t be used immediately. Reason: WPB wouldn't give priorities for pumps and valves. So another month will be required to get the pumps and start the pipe-line working. From Illlinois, oil will go by barge up the Ohio River, and this was calculated to ease the oil shortage in the East. However, oil require- ments in North Africa will be so0 great that little can be spared for Eastern consumers.
