Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, who has advocated for more than a year the construction of a 24-inch pipeline from Longview, Texas, to Salem, Ill., last week again took his proposal to the White House.

One Christmas, in a driving snow storm, he sailed into Salem blind, except for a glimpse of the land at the mouth of the harbor. Then he sold the ship, never went to sea again. His feat became a New England legend. Actually it showed that he knew more about navigation than any other man of his time...
