Pipeline Speeds Up
Paper-Making Process
MILLINOCKET, Maine WPI —
Taking a page from the oil in
dustry, the Great Northern Paper
Co. is using a pipeline to speed
its paper-making process.
The $2.5 million line snakes
through the northern Maine
woods for seven miles, carrying
sulfite pulp from Great North
ern’s pulp mill in Millinocket to
its paper plent in East Millinocket.
Formerly, it was necessary to
remove most of the water from
the pulp, pound it into sheets, and
ship it by rail to East Millinocket.
There, the pulp had to be mixed
with water again before being
blended with other ingredients
and fed into newsprint machines.
"While this solution of the prob
lem of transporting pulp seems
simple and obvious,” a company
spokesman said, “design and con
struction of the pipeline turned out
to have a number of unique .and
difficult features, some of which
required first-class engineering
ingenuity to resolve.”
The inside of the tube is glassy
smooth, corrosion-resistant, and
able to withstand wear and tear
under high pressure without be
coming marked. The underground
sections are built of a combina
tion of asbestos fiber and cement
with a lining of epoxy resin, a
smooth, hard material that is
chemically inert. The above
ground sections are made of stain
less steel.

IBEW Pulls Out
Of AFL-CIO Union
WASHINGTON UR — All the
craft unions that once belonged
to the AFL-CIO Union depart
ment now have pulled out. The
latest to leave is the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers.
Gordon Freeman, IBEW presi
dent, announced Monday without
elaboration that the IBEW was
discontinuing its affiliation with
the IUD. The union retains its
A1FL-CIO membership.
Most of the craft unions have
left because of disagreement with
policies of Walter Reuther, pres
ident of the IUD and the United
Auto Workers Union.
The seceeding unions include
the carpenters, plumbers, plasters,
painters, boilermakers, iron work
ers and operating engineers.
This has brought the IUD mem
bership down from a claimed top
of 7.2 million originally, compris
ing 69 unions, to a present claim
ed membership of 5.7 million,
comprising 59 unions.
The craft unions originally or
ganized on the basis of particular
job skills. The industrial unions \
typically represent workers of en
tire plants or industries regard
less of craft or skill.
The former AFL unions and
former CIO unions never have
been able to reconcile their con
flicting jurisdiction, claims and
work rights rivalries.
At its recent convention, the
AFL-CIO adopted new machinery
involving use of arbitration for
inter-union squabbles, but despite
the expressed high hopes of lead
ers of all factions, the system has
yet to be tester!.

By 1887, the 2,519 American
college girls' fashions included
flannels, calico dresses and
aprons. Laundry day involved
scrubbing on a board, boiling
in a "copper", bluing, starch

and then pressing with a
smoothing iron!
First college girls,
called "bluestock

by 18th century so

biggest problem,
though, was their
fading blue stockings.
One solution was boil

Resume Talks in
Effort to Ease
German Problem
By J. R. Roberts
,tsxoelated. Press News Analyst
Two somewhat abstract but im
portant considerations lie in the
background as the United States
and the Soviet Union resume dip
lomatic fencing in an effort, at,
least on the part of the Western
powers, to ease their dangerous
confrontation in Berlin.
Both have to do with how So
viet Premier Khrushchev will act
at the footlights in response to
backstage pressures from mem
bers of his own company.
Khrushchev either has Red
China behind him or at his back
There is great idiomatic differ
ence.
He is either winning ponola”
support at home and in the Eu
ropean satellites through r?I a ra
tion of control of personal lives
and improved living standards, or
he faces great danger from ap
petites which may only have been
whetted by small sips of liberty.
His own estimates of these situ
ations — among many others, of
course — will influence the face
he presents on other questions.
There are reasons to believe
that because of relations with Red
China — which seriously needs to
expand and is suspected of having
at least the comer of one eye on
Siberian lands which are no more
ethnically Russian than they are
ethnically Chinese — Krushchev
will seek to avoid irrevocable iso
lation from the West.
There are reasons to believe
that he cannot wish to become
over extended at the Berlin end
' of diplomatic and military supply
’ lines which pass through the un
’ easy territory of Eastern Europe,
Aside from the deterrent laid
| upon him by the terrible promises
of modem war itself, Khrushchev
also has his repeated promises to
; give the Soviet Union a time of
peace for improvement of living
[ standards.
Thus it may be that Khrush
chev’s major effort now is to
| avoid a defeat, rather than to
. score a victory, in the West.
The Communists scored one
tactical victory in August by get
ting away with erection of the
wall which destroyed all practical
signs of four-power control in
Berlin. Aside from that, and inso
far as Khrushchev’s major claims
are concerned, there has been a
stalemate in Berlin.
The new diplomatic exchanges
may produce a foreign ministers
conference.
But President Charles De Gaulle
is determined to get France’s army
home from Algeria before any cli
max of negotiations can be reach
ed at a summit conference.
The Allies still have procedural
differences with regard to nego
tiations, but they are out of the
tizzy into which they were thrown
during last summer’s considera
tion of whether they could hold
Berlin at all.
Their factual as well as their
propaganda position has changed,
and Khrushchev knows where
they stand.
He can’t know, for sure, just
where he stands himself.
