Arabs Blow Up
'Idle' Pipeline
AMMAN, Jordan (A A West
ern firm's idle pipeline from the
Iraq oil fields to Israel's Medi
terranean port of Haifa was blown
up in two places during the night,
Jordan announced Tuesday.
The government said it had or
dered an investigation to find out
why oil was running through the
pipeline supposedly out of use
since the 1948 Palestine war.
Arab nationalists wrecked an
other pipeline carrying Middle
East oil across Syria to the Medi
terranean following the British-
French invasion of Egypt.
ported all were accounted for. He
estimated damage at more than
$365,000 but said it will cost close
to a million to restore the lost
facilities.
Students at nearby Westminster
College pitched into help remove
clothing and possessions from the
burning dormitories. Two were
overcome by smoke and two oth
ers were slightly hurt.
The fire apparently broke out
in the basement of South Jones
Hail and the three-story building
was destroyed. So was another
housing the dining room and kit
chen. North Jones Hall was heavi
ly damaged.
Investigators could not deter
mine the cause of the fireimmed

Mrs. Reland Birmingham, head
hostess at South Jones, said she
heard what sounded like an ex
plosion in the basement directly
under her first-floor apartment. A
short time later she smelled
smoke. " ..' -
Smoke blocked her way to the
fire alarm button. Her screams
awakened two other house moth
ers and together they routed the
girls.
Fulton residents provided rooms
for some of the girls, others went
to the Missouri School for the
Deaf, also in Fulton.
Paris to Replace
111 UN Delegate
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. UH
France is reported looking for
new permanent delegate at the
U.N. to replace Bernard Cornut-
Gentille.
Cornut-Gcntille came to the
U.N. after five years as high com
missioner of French West Africa

Council in October until he col
lapsed in the early stages of the
Middle East row, when the West

Schooners on
Way Out Along
Pacific Coast
SAN FRANCISCO HI The
steam schooner, a West Coast fix
ture for almost 40 years, apparent
ly is on the way out.
E. Whitney Olson, president of
the Oliver J. Olson Co. of San
Mateo, Calif., said Monday his
line was selling two of its five
schooners and turning to barges.
Harry Lundeberg, head of the
Sailors Union of the Pacific,
agreed to postpone negotiations
for a new labor contract with Ol
son. "The steam schooner operators
stated that they were in no posi
tion at the present time to raise
the wages or change the agree
ment due to the fact that they
lost pretty nearly half of their
business to the barges and at the
present time are in the process
of trying to recapture this busi
ness." Olson's last competitor in the
steam - schooner business is the
Chamberlin Co. of Portland, Ore,
which operates three vessels. ,
In the 1920s steam schooners
carried more than two-thirds of
all cargo landed in San Francis
co. They are 200-foot wooden ships
with engines and superstructures
astern and up forward long booms
for handling slinged lumber.
More than 200 were built on the
West Coast between 18B5 and 1923,
designed to get into shallow, rug
ged lumber ports in Northern Cal
ifornia, Washington and Oregon.
Their trade dropped off after
1935 as railroads and trucks beat
their prices. ,
