...nearly 800-mile trip or, strangely enough, where all of it will go after it gets there. The economic and political implications of the various plans being made to refine the oil, some of which cannot be handled by existing West Coast facilities, were reported by Washington Correspondent Don Sider. The description of the pipeline itself, with its adjoining highway for trucks and its walkways for caribou, came from our Alaska stringer, Jeanne Abbott, who has traveled its entire length.
