Steuart Firm Laying
New Pipelines in
Oil Seepage Area
Oil leakage that has caused com
plaints from Anacostia River boat
and property-owner* during the
past few months may be curbed by
a new pipeline.
The line i* being constructed by
L. P. Steuart and Bros., Inc., fuel
oil concern, at Fourteenth and M
•treets S.E.
The seepage, which seems to oc
cur after heavy rains, was the sub
ject of a legal controversy in May1
among District authorities, the
Steuart company and the Wash
ington Gas Light Co. The two com
panies have pipelines in the area
where the leaking oil was found.
Responsibility for the seepage has
not been determined.
Richard L. Counts, general man
ager of the Steuart company, said
hi* company’s new pipeline con
struction does not mean the com
pany feels responsible for the seep-:
age.
"We know, on several occasions,
reported oil leaks were not our
fault.” he said, "but the leakage was
a contributing factor in our de
cision to lay a new line. Now we
will be in a position to control posi
tively any leaks in our lines.”
Mr. Counts said the new line is
really the former underground pipe
system moved to the surface, so
it will be accessible in case of
trouble. It stretches about 1,700 feet
from the company’s wharf at the
foot of Thirteenth street S.E. to
the plant. The project was begun
about a month ago and should be
finished by the end of next week,
Mr. Counts said.
Washington Gas Light Co. offi
cials said they contemplate no
changes in their pipelines which,
they declared, show no evidence
of leakage.

Republic Continuing
Fight for Blast Furnace
Leased to Kaiser
By th« Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Aug. 20.—Republic
Steel Cofp. officials continued their
battle today to obtain a Govern
ment-owned $28,000,000 blast furnace
here, but a Kaiser-Frazer official
said his firm's lease of the unit
would remain in efiect.
“As far as I'm concerned, we move
in September 1," Edgar F. Kaiser,
K„-F. vice president, told newsmen
last night after an all-day confer
ence with Republic officials on oper
ation of the furnace.
Officials of the two firms issued
a formal statement at the end of
the conference saying they had dis
cussed problems relating to opera
tion of the furnace. They admitted
they had reached “no conclusions,”
and would continue discussions next
week.
Protests to Congress Reported.
Republic indicated it would re
sume Its fight to retain the furnace
which it has operated for several
years, hojvever, by adding this'
statement
“Republic intends to continue its
protest to the War Assets Admin
istration in an effort to void this
contract, which will force us out

of the pig iron business in the
North."
Protest against the WAA lease to
Kaiser-Frazer were reported in
Washington “pouring into congres
sional offices in Increasing volume.”
They came from many of the 403
pig iron customers served by Re
public, who claimed they would be
forced to close their shorts, and from
i Chamber of Commerce officials and
‘other industrialists in the Midwest.
Republic earlier sent telegrams to
its pig iron customers, notifying
them it was leaving that business
September 1, and urging them to
protest the lease.
Lease Called Irrevocable.
‘ The WAA declared, however, that
! the lease to Kaiser-Frazer was “firm
and irrevocable.”
One complication of the new man
I agement cited by Kaiser was opera- i
ition of the River Terminal Railway
Co., a Republic subsidiary serving
the furnace. Part of ils rolling stock
is owned by the Government.
Preston Tuoker, automobile build
er and one of the unsuccessful bid
ders for the plant, also declared he
would attempt to block the lease to
K-F, and asserted his ofTer was the
highest bid on the furnace.
