STATE OF TEXAS MOVES TO BRING GAS INTO MIDWEST; $50,000,000 LOAN NEEDED Panhandle Officials Soon to Apply to U. S. for Assistance, Ickes Says; State Probers Demand Federal Inquiry. (Continued From Page One)

an engineer. but I know that with a maximum cost for distribution from the patps to customers would have brought the cost to no more than 50 cents for each 1000 cubic feet. Now Indianapolis has artificial gas. of about two-thirds to one-half the heat value, at il 05 for each 1000 cubic feet. In addition to furnishing cheap gas, Kentucky then was willing to sell the belt line to the city at the end of five years for cost plus interest charges.” Political Forres Unknown Mr. Scheer said he never had been able to identify the political forces which then opposed the plan, and said he assumed the city simplydecided it was not ready to purchase the plant of the Citizens Gas Cos. to distribute the gas. However, he said the Indianapolis negotiations alarmed other pipe line operators, who saw, he said, that if Missouri-Kansas was to succeed in bringing low priced gas into the region, their own rate structures would collapse. At that time, he said, MissouriKansas had a contract with Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Corp.. its subsidiary, to deliver 20 million cubic fet of gas a day at its terminus, the Indiana-Illinois line, which would have enabled the Mis-souri-Kansas to conduct vigorous bidding to supply gas to municipalities. Columbia Seizes Control But, Columbia Gas and Electric Corp., he said, wrested control of the $50,000,000 Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Cos. from Missouri-Kansas, with the suit for receivership nowin Wilmington courts, and J. H. Hillman Jr., Pittsburgh capitalist, owed by the Kentucky Natural Gas Corp. for pipe lines, wrested its control from the Missouri-Kansas group. Now. he said, Columbia holds that the contract Missouri-Kansas had with Eastern Panhandle to furnish those 20 million cubic feet a day is superceded py an alleged oral agreement thr.l gas so delivered would not be sold in a territory north of an imaginary line drawn approximately 30 miles south of Indianapolis. Mr. Scheer said that an oral ! agreement of that nature would put Missouri-Kansas in a position of j attempting to sell Texas and Oklahoma gas in a territory in southern Indiana that belonged logically to Kentucky fields which could supply it there at a much lower transmission cost. Gigantic Waste Charged If Missouri-Kansas was to sell natural, gas in Indiana at all, he! said, it would look to central and | northern Indiana as its sales area. j These portions of the state, he said, are only fractionally supplied by Kentucky fields which, he added, do not produce volume enough to take care of the entire area, anyway. Mr. Scheer said operating interests were wasting one billion cubic feet of gas daily in the Texas Panhandle fields and 300 million cubic feet in the Oklahoma fields to keep up the price. To refute operators' contentions that this gas is full of sulphur and unfit for use. Mr. Scheer said he had engineers’ estimates that the gas could be washed for ’i cent, each 1000 cubic feet, i He said pip*' line companies could | ma tea profit by charging 2 cents ! to move each 1000 cubic feet each ; miie. This Information, given before Mr. Ickes’ astounding announce- I ment from Washington, tied in with ; the charges and requests of Texas as they were relayed by Mr. Ickes. Texas Project Outlined The proiect. Mr. Ickes said, was f to be administered by the state of ; Texas, and would make possible lowgas rates in both St. Louis and Detroit. He diselosed he had conferred recently with R. B. Anderson, personal representative of Gov. James V. Allied of Texas regarding the project. No formal PWA application. however, was filed. The project, if separate lines were run from west Texas to St. Louis j and Detroit, would cost $50,000,000. ; The project could be constructed | with $30,000,000 if a single line were run to Detroit \ia St. Louis. Mr. Ickes said the Texas Legisla- j ture planned to create a state authority to construct and administer I the pipe lines. Its proposed set up,; he said, would be similar to the Federal Tennessee Valley Authority. Mr. Ickes pointed out the State of ; Texas could condemn land in that state for a pipe line right-of-way. j but the Federal government would have to exercise its right of eminent domain in other states. Secretary Ickes said, however, no, legal details of the project had been worked out. The pipe line, according to tenta-

tive plans, would be self-liquidating with profits from sale of the gas in St. Louis and Detroit repaying the Federal government for its PWA loan and grant. The committee here, after it had heard Mr. Schiers’ testimony, voted to memorialize the Senate, and tentatively decided that it would include in the memorial a request that the Federal Trade Commission investigate the financial structures of the companies, and that the Department, of Justice look into any violations of the law, if any. The committee also tentatively decided to ask Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz to see if the companies operating in or through Indiana have violated Indiana anti-trust laws. It adjourned until 8 tomorrow, when Mr. Parish will testify.

A local option bill similar to the one introduced last week in the House is expected to make an appearance soon in the senate. Senator Elias C. Swihart (D„ Elkhart), will sponsor the measure. Opponents of the local option system interpret the threatened introduction of the bill as a move to force action on the House measure. NEW BUILDERS GLEE CLUB TO BE FETED Christian Men Builders to Discuss Future Activities of Unit.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHUCK’S IN AGAIN — BUT HE’S NOT ANGRY AT POLICE ANYMORE

Chuck (In Again-Out Again) Wiggins, one-time local ring warrior and personal foe of every policeman, was arrested early today for the eleventh time in less than two years and spent a comfortable night in jail. This time Chuck, who boasts of victories over Tommy Gibbons and other greats of the squared circle, w r as charged with intoxication and driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The arresting officers reported that Chuck was docile, a contrast to the roaring days when it w'ould take two sq,ir,ds of police and half a dozen firemen to tame the Indianapolis mauler. Just to prove that his feud with police was purely friendly, Chuck waved “so long” to his acquaintances on the force w'hen he was released on bond this morning. Only yesterday, Chuck appeared before Municipal Judge* Charles J. Karabell and was discharged on an intoxication charge. Austria Greets Wales KITZBUEHEL, Austria, Feb. 5.

STATE PASTORS HEAR TALK BY DR, FEUERLICHT Anti-Jewish Propaganda Is Flayed; Rural Problems Studied Today. With discussions of todays ethici and a recial and religious prejudices behind them, delegates to tht fifth annual Indiana Pastors’ Conference today turned to problems ol the rural church and to the necessity of co-operation, with the Rev Burris A. Jenkins, pastor of Kansas City’s famed Communitj Church, as a featured speaker. The conference, which began yesterday afternoon, is being held al the First Baptist Church, Vermont and N. Meridian-sts. In an address last night, Rabb: Morris M. Feuerlicht of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation struck at Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda which, he said, was being distributed in this country. Protocols Under Attack The book. “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” was characterized by Dr. Feuerlicht as being the “most vicious, slanderous, libelous and incredible attack ever made upon a ; group of men.” “The Jew today is being made tc play, even more acutely than ever before, the scape goat for the sins of others,” Mr. Feuerlicht continued. “And there is a deliberate attempt being made to turn society back tc the primittive state of paganism.” He called upon Christians and Jews alike, to aid in the challenging of such propagandists material as that which claims that Jews are aliens in Germany,' when they first settled there in 321 A. D.; that Jews will not fight for their country (Germany) when 35,000 German Jew's W'ere decorated for bravery in the late war; that Jews are naturally of criminal nature, when less than tw'o-tenths of 1 per cent of the inmates of German prisons are of Jewish extraction. Chicago Professor Speaks In the other address on last night’s program, Prof. Arthur E. Holt, Chicago University Social Ethics instructor, said that “the doctrine of the City of God got lost when our ancestors forgot the principle of a community and took up the ideal of glorified private ownership.” It w'as Dr. Holt’s contention that all industry should be operated “not for private profit, but for public good,” and he said that any means of attaining that end, would be justified. The De Pauw University Choir, under the direction of Dean R. G. McCutchan, presented a special musical program preceding the talks last night and the Rev. L. R. Eckardt gave a brief devotional entitled “Light at Eventide.” The conference opened yesterday afternoon. Relief Program Scheduled Specialty numbers and boxing are on the program of regular weekly entertainment scheduled for 7:30 tonight in Tomlinson Hall, according to R. L. Ball, Marion County supervisor of recreation.

Gray Hair Best Remedy Is Mad* At Home You can now make at home a better gray hair remedy than you can buy by following this simple recipe: To half pint of water add one ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and one-fourth ounce of glycerine. Any druggist can put this up or you can mix it yourself at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. Barbo imparts color to streaked, faded or gray hair, making it soft and glossy. It will not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off.—Advt.
