If that happens, there will be no joint control of the waterway. In- stead, Canada will have complete control and ownership “Isn’t it a lot better,” continued the President, “to accept the joint partnership control Canada has offered us and make sure that our interests in this vital link to Canadian ore deposits are safeguar- ded in the future? “I think so” agreed Wilson, former head of General Electric. “When electric power was the main factor of the proposed sunway,! I was against it, because there were other ways to get power. But navigation and the need for Can- adian ore are now the paramount considerations.” Texas Tom Yields Interior Secretary Oscar Chap- man also supported Truman, as did two other potent figures at the closed-door conference, Maj. Gen. Lewis Pick, Chief of Army Engineers, and GOP Sen. Alexan- der Wiley of Wisconsin. Wiley remarked that if Truman “held a few more meetings like this one, I'll bet you could con- vince the railroad owners who have been blocking the seaway.” Turn- ing to Senator Connally, the Wis- consinite jibed: “Tom, you've done a little blocking yourself.” When the big Texan gro denial, Wiley continued then you've stacked subcommitt against the bill.” ‘ “What you mean to say is that I have refused to go along with you when you tried to get me to stack subcommitte with propen- i a { to have forgotten one of the most well, | some real estate in southern Call - fornia and he wants to be closer | to it than Washington, D. C. On top of this, Wallgren seems courageous battles ever staged by his friend in the White House— namely, Truman’s veto of the Kerr Natural Gas bill, Vigorous 'wire-pullers for this bill were Senator Ke Oklahoma, and his silent oil partner, Phillips Pe- troleum. Phillips is now up for in- vestigation by the FPC for un- necessarily hiking rates to the state of Wisconsin and the city of Detroit. Fear of these high rates was one reason why Truman vetoed the Kerr bill But despite this ren voted against his old friend in the White House to side- track the probe. Galley 2 Wash Merry-go-round HH The investigation of Phillips was requested by Wisconsin and Detroit two long years ago. In that year— 1948—Phillips paid dividends of 18.7 per cent on common stock and surplus, but even so, hiked its rates to northern gas users. Pipeline Politics Most recent move by Wallgren which is against Truman policy is to OK. a $58,000,000 natural gas pipeline to New England for Texas Eastern—which cooperates with and helps to protect Koppers Coke, a part of the Andrew Mellon in- dustrial empire. This line was op- posed by both Democrat and Re- publican leaders in New England, including Gov. Sherman Adams and Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, both Republicans; and Senators Mc Mahon of Connecticut and Green of Rhode Island, both Democrats. | They favor the cheaper $38,000,000 northeaster pipeline to New Eng- land, claim New England cannot | afford to be saddled with two lines | and such heavy expense. | Note—a lot of politics—both Democratic and Republican—is | mixed up in this power commission maneuvering. On the Democratic ents of the St. Lawrence water- way,” shot back Connally. However, Te Tom made it clear that he wouldn't stand in the way of the majority if both hou- ses favored the waterway. He even managed a smile when, close to Wiley for a news picture, the Wisconsin Senator wisecracked: #] see you've shifted to my side.” Truman's Old Crony It is now pretty well agreed th. one of the best things Sen. Hz Byrd of Virginia ever did was stop the appointment of the Pres dent’s crony, Mon Wallgren, to be chairman of the National Security Resources Board. Thanks in part to Senator Byrd,| the ex-Senator from Washington was shunted from the vitally im- portant war board to what was considered a safe roosting the Chairmanship of the Fede Power Commission. Here, however, Wallgren has be such a flop that even his old friend in the White Hcuse reported disappointed with him. Wallgren's latest dilettantism is a move to transfer the Federal Power Commission to Colorade 1 is place, | 1| Guests | side, it was Phillips Petroleum | which conveniently put its private | plane at the disposal of Democratic | bigwigs to fly to Kansas City for | the Bill Boyle dinner.

Fourteen and possibly 15 per ost their lives in crunching lanches which wrecked two villa in eastern Switzerland in the 1 43 hours. Seven persons were be- lieved killed and 27 were injured; in avalanches or accidents due to the weather near Italy's frontier with France and Switzerland. Danger of further avalanches was rated “maximum” by Swiss authori- ties. More than 100 feet of snow reportedly buried some Swiss moun- tain roads. Huge pileups halted operations on the Gotthard Rai road line, the main line from east- | mns ava- ern Switzerland to Italy.
