Testing of 625-Mile
Haines-Fairbanks Pipeline
To Start This Week
ANCHORAGE UR—Testing of the
625-mile military pipeline from
Haines to Fairbanks is expected
to start some time this week, the
Alaska district office of the Corps
of Engineers reported Friday.
A first tanker with fuel for the
pipeline has arrived at Haines
with a 50,000-barrel cargo. Test
ing of the pipeline and the storage
and pumping facilities is expected
to take three or four months. It
will be followed by a month’s op
eration by the contractors before
the 40 million dollar project is
turned over to the military.
Work on the big project was
started early last year. Eight-inch
pipe was welded in place along
the rough 625-mile route in less
than six months.
The line will provide an im
portant new delivery system for
fuels for military bases of Alas
ka’s interior. Haines can be
* reached by tankers traveling up
the sheltered inland passage route
to the north.

Daily Regimen Makes
Gina’s 17-Inch Waist
Same As Hubby’s Neck
ROME, WV—Think your waist is
slender. Well, they measured Gina
Lollobrigida’s Saturday. It is 17
inches.
“Just the size of my shirt col
lar,” commented husband Milko
Skofic.
The Italian film star normally
refuses to give out her measure
ments—usually estimated at 37
inch bust and 36-inch hips. Late
ly, her always small waist has
shrunk smaller under a daily re
gimen of 10 hours before the cam
eras, then a fencing lesson and
then a trapeze lesson—these last
for forthcoming pictures.
Even Gina and her husband
grew curious so out came the tape
measure.

Adenauer Pledges
Loyalty to West
WASHINGTON, W—West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
assured the 'United States today
his country will maintain a “close
and loyal partnership” with the
Western allies despite the wooing
of Moscow.
“My countrymen are convinced,”
Adenauer said on his arrival here
for talks with President Eisen
hower, “that a close and loyal
partnership- with the peoples of
the free world on the basis of the
treaties which have recently cocme
into force is the best means of
maintaining peace and freedom.
“They also consider it the best
means of obtaining the peaceful
reunification of Germany jn free
dom.”
Adenauer did not directly refer
to the pending Russian invitation
for him to visit Moscow, But his
reference to reunifying his coun
try in “freedom” was a way of
rejecting any suggestion that he
or the West German people would
consider unifying it under the
conditions of the Communists.
Adenauer’s plane landed at the
capital’s National Airport at 8:55
a.m. this morning.
Eisenhower Gets Ribbing
On Government Red Tape
While Inspecting Reactor
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., —
President Eisenhower got a good
natured ribbing Saturday about
government red tape.
It happened as he was inspect
ing Pennsylvania State Univer
sity’s new $12,000 atomic reactor.
The tour was conducted by the
Chief Executive’s youngest broth
er, Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, the
university president.
Eric Walker, dean of engineer
ing, told the President the reactor
is “unique because it is the first
built entirely with private funds.”
The uranium to operate it, how
ever, is to be supplied by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
“The uranium is not in the
reactor yet,” Walker explained,
“but if we can cut through this
government red tape . . .”
The remark touched off a burst
of laughter in the group of uni
versity officials on hand, and the
President grinned with a show of
embarrassment.
“I must say,” he declared, “I
don’t understand any delay in get
ting the fuel.”
“It’s just the timing,” his broth
er Milton chimed in.
CIO Union Official
Denies He Ever
Was a Communist
WASHINGTON, m—John J.
Mullen, director of political action
for the CIO Steelworkers Union,
denied Saturday he is or ever has
been a member of the Communist
Party.
The former mayor of Clairton,
Pa., appeared before the Senate
Internal Security subcommittee to
answer testimony Friday by a
former FBI undercover informant
describing him as a Communist
Party functionary.
“Are you now or have you ever
been a member of the Communist
Party?” subcommittee Counsel
Richard Arens asked Mullen.
“Absolutely no,” he replied.
Mullen then was asked if he
ever had attended a Communist
meeting. He said that once in 1936
an organizer for the steelworkers
offered to take him home to Clair
ton and then drove to a “yellow
brick house in the hill section” of
Pittsburgh, where the organizer
said he had a “few friends I want
you to meet.”
Mullen testified that when he
entered a hall in the building
where approximately 300 persons
were gathered, he noticed pictures
of Stalin and other Soviet leaders
on the wall.
After listening to the beginning
of a speech, he said, he told the
organizer he was going to leave
and would take a cab if necessary.
The two then left, he testified.
Asked why he belived it was a
Communist meeing, Mullen said:
“Because of the pictures on the
wall and the phraseology of the
speech.”
“I was shocked and alarmed
and said get me out of here,” he
told the subcommittee.

drift down the river.
