Selfishness of Oil Companies Flayed by Knox
Secretary of the Navy Knox denounced oil firms as selfish and said they should not block a planned trans-Arabian pipeline to move Saudi oil for United Nations use. He framed the plan as a military move to secure dwindling petroleum in the Americas and tapped a billion barrel reserve to fuel naval ships and aircraft. He noted the pipeline would cost about half the price of surface transport through the Red Sea.

The House Appropriations Committee refused to include $50 million for the school lunch program in the agriculture department bill, calling the fund not authorized by law. The panel also dropped funds for the Farm Security Administration and crop insurance revival, citing pending reorganization and wartime priorities. It trimmed the overall bill by about $93.5 million and warned Guayule rubber and insurance programs lack near term impact. George W.
