Governor says new pipeline is up
Governor James W. Allred said the details of a proposed Texas administered natural gas pipeline from the Panhandle to St. Louis and Detroit must come from the national administration. He noted Anderson in Washington discussed the plan with Harold Ickes and that the state would not discuss administration beyond Texas. He called it a federal matter and said hearings on gas waste will await federal word. Five pipelines now run from the Panhandle to major cities.
