John Wilson, [•La Grange. “A coal slurry pipe- will be a necessity in the future.

Proponents say the mixture of crushed coal and water is the most efficient method of transporting huge quantities of coal to Texas in the future. But critics contended pipeline backers have no assurances they can obtain the necessary 3.6 billion gal lons of water a year needed to carry the coal from Wyoming, Colorado and Montana to Texas in the slurry pipeline. Rep. W. S. Heatly, D-Paducah, who said the pipeline is scheduled to cross some of the best Texas farm land, opposed giving the company power to condemn land. “Condemnation and gestapo are one and the same,” Heatly said. “I am trying to stop the gestapo power.” The slurry pipeline bill already has been approved by the Senate, but must be returned to the Senate for consideration of House changes. One House amendment that could encounter problems in the Senate was a provision by Rep. Jerry Donaldson, D-Gatesville, permit ting judges in condemnation cases to award attorney fees in addition to the compensation given landowners for their property. Rep. Joe Hanna, D-Brecken- ridge, said the slurry pipeline bill is essential to provide for future energy sources, and does not give favorable treatment to pipelines. “This bill does not guarantee BLANK TAPE CHEAP SCOTCH, TDK, MAXELL, MEMOREX, BASF, CAPITOL, AMPEX CASSETTES, 8-TRACKS REELS.
