Last week Paul Kayser increased his prehumous momentum. The Federal Power Commission authorized El Paso to go into a $194 million expansion program, including construction of a 413-mile pipeline from Colorado and New Mexico's San Juan Basin to the Arizona-California border. The program will increase the El Paso system deliveries by 455,175,000 cu. ft. of natural gas a day to serve more customers in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. Part of the gas will come indirectly from Canada, through a deal (also authorized by FPC last week) in which Westcoast Transmission...

...three months such pro-German rallies have exploded almost nightly in the French-controlled, German-speaking industrial border basin of the Saar. They are a prelude to decision: next week the Saar's 960,000 citizens will freely vote, ja or nein, whether to accept the statute which French and German statesmen finally agreed on last year as the best means of taking a 1,000-year-old quarrel out of politics until a final World War II peace treaty is sealed.
