Big Inch Pipelines Handle 5,940,000 Gallons Monthly NEW YORK, March 6.—(UP)— The Big Inch pipelines, completed in August, 1943, are supplying more than 5,940,000 barrels of high octane gasoline monthly from east and west Texas oil fields to U. S. fighting men and their allies overseas, the United Press learned today. The pipe lines, largest ever built, have carried 200,750,000 bar rels of oil and oil products from Beaumont and Longview, Texas to Phoenixville, Pa., and Linden, N. J., since the first barrel of oil was pumped through the 1.475 1 mile long Little Big Inch and the 1,245 mile long Big Inch pipelines. The high octane gas, including 100 octane aviation fuel, and 80 and 72 octane gasoline for Navy ships, Army tanks and trucks comes through the 20 inch “Little” pipeline from Beaumont, officials of the War Emergency Pipelines, Inc., said. The 330,000 barrel daily output of the Big Inch, the 24-inch pipe line from Longviiew, Texas, goes to eight oil refining companies in the Philadelphia and New York areas, which produce military products almost exclusively.

The Wilmington airman is Lt. James Hearn, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. James Hearn, of 1811 Grace street, now training to in struct other bombardiers at Mid land, Texas. He returned to the United States last month after completing 35 missions over Axis territory and just in time to greet James Hearn III, who was born January 23. The pilot responsible for their position in the public eye is Lt. Wally Davis, who appropriately christened his command “Wally’s Wagon”. This nomenclature trick led back to the United States and caught the eye of Wally Boren, author of a lunch-car chat-column in “This Week”, a Sunday supple ment syndicated magazine with a circulation of 6,000,000. The name of Boren’s five-year old feature is also "Wally’s Wagon”. Boren went after the story, by mail, and last Sunday produced a two-page write-up, complete with pictures, of the nine men who had flown his column’s namesake over Germany’s toughest target-cities. Lt. Hearn’s mother reports the re ceipt of one anonymous greeting already. It is expected that more will follow. Lt. Hearn, a former employe in the Atlantic Coast Line’s auditor of freight receipt’s office, left Wil mington with the National Guard and served for a year in the Coast Artillery before transferring to the Air Forces. After leading his cadet classes in radio and bomb-sight studies, and setting an all-time high in marks in Avon Park combat school, he won assignment as a bombardier and left last year to serve with the 305th Bombardment Squadron. He wears the Squad ron’s Presidential unit citation, as well as a bronze star to show par ticipation in the two largest aerial battles in history thus far. His wife, the former Delphina Dueso, a native of San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and a one-time air-hostess for TACA airlines, re sides currently with the Senior Hearns’. A Hearn exploit related by Wally Boren was his split-second bombing of a railroad line in Ger many without the help of a bomb sight. He hit it squarely, afJei ex plained subsequently by saying “What kind of a railroad man would I be if I couldn’t find a railroad?” BONOMI REGIME FACING CRISIS (Continued from Page One) Carabinieri arrived, a bomb ex ploded in the midst of the crowd, followed by a burst of small arms fire. The crowd surged toward the palace gate, but was held back by foot Carabinieri who formed a human block at the entrance. A few minutes after a second bomb exploded, American and British military police arrived on the scene' and began to patrol the area. It was emphasized that the MPs were there only to see that no Allied soldiers loitered around the area. The* demonstrators carried the body of the slain man to the Vi minale and, breaking through a cordon of Carabinieri, placed it in the waiting room. They then light ed candles and draped flags around the body. The* escape Sunday of Roatta, former chief of staff of the Itali an army during Mussolini’s re gime, and today’s bloody outbreak plunged the Bonomi government iqto a political crisis which may topple it. Apparently in a move to com bat the political tension, the gov ernment announced the dismissal of Taddeo Orlando as chief of the Carabinieri. Orlando formerly was an army general on Roatta’s staff and like Roatta is wanted in Yu goslvia on charges of war crimes. The Communist party has demanded his ouster. The announcement of the dis missal of Oralando came as the Socialist, Communists and other opposition groups staged the mass protest meeting at the Colosseum. Activity was suspended in all but the most essential industries as the workers attended the gathering. The government in announcing the removal of Orlando said “chiefs are to be considered re sponsible for what their subordi nates do,” suggesting that the po lice guarding Roatta at the time of his escape was implicated. The government announced that the Ufficio Informazioni (formerly known as the SIM, the secret in telligence agency of the army) would be placed under the direct responsibility of the minister of war. Under Fascism the SIM ac quired a political tinge. The an nouncement said the new action was designed to “make of it an instrument exclusively military in character.” Fifth Army Takes Hills Dominating Vital Road ROME March 6—(JFi—Driving up to a half mile northward through the Apennines on botl. sides of the Pistoia-3ologna highway, U. S. Fifth Army troops have seized "two important hills and occupied the hamlet of Bisopra, 13 miles south west of Bologna, Allied headquar ters said today. The two heights, designated Hill 375 and Hill 374. rise 1,250 feet and with the hamlet make up a line dominating the area between the vital ir’istoia-Bologna highway and the alterifcle Florcnce-Eologne road. , The same troop* drove on HiU 481 slightly eastward, but were forced to withdraw to the foot of the peak after suffering casual* ties in dense minefields and booby traps.
