BIC RUBBER
SCHEME
Tire Makers Also Ready to
Sink Vast Sums in Pro-
posed Plantations.

Leading tire and automobile
manufacturers of United States are
ready to put millions OF dollars hack
of plantations in Central and South
America and the Philippines. to es.
tablish an American-controlled rub.
Der industry.
This was disclosed today by
Representatives Of big manufacturers.
who have been comforting in Wash.
ington to evolve a plan to shift
rubber production from British to
American control.
Henry Ford, vitality interested in
the conference as the worlds biggest
tire consumer. could be counted on
for $50. 900 900. according to his
friends, while Harvey s. Firestone,
nulti-millionaiFe tire producer, II
willing to invest a huge sum in
rubber cultivation.
Spokesman for the auto and tire
producers said the rubber COM
panies are expected to take the
lead in financing of the plantations.
Automobile manufacturers, who see
curtailed sales and higher quota
tons on cars under the present
British monopoly, will play big
hand in backing the rubber people.
Firestone, who called the meeting
here, was expected to call another
meeting within sixty days at
Detroit, to effect a permanent or
ganization under a name such as
the American Rubber Consumers
Association. While this organiza-
ton would not itself operate rubber
plantations. it would take steps to
interest capitalists, within it's ranks,
in the crude rubber business.
Firestone will confer with Depart
ment of Commerce and Department
OF Agriculture officials prior to
the next meeting. Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace believes rubber
plants can be cultivated success
fully within the continental limits
OF United States. The Commerce
Department is investigating the
Latin-American and Philippine sit
uation to determine advisability Of
investment of American capital
there.
Two big rubber companies al
ready have extensive plantations in
the Far East. The United States
Rubber Company maintains more
than 100000 acres. while Goodyear
has about 10000 acres. it was
learned. These operations are on
British soil.
Firestone said today the meeting
had attained the results he sought
and following the perfection Of the
permanent organization definite
steps will be taken to eliminate
the possibility of another tie-up Of
the crude rubber supply, such as
has been accomplished by Great
Britain.

TO Tote
on SUBSIDY
TODAY
Ballot Expected to Show Ma
iority il Upper House
Favor Measure.

A parliamentary funeral was ar
ranged in the Senate today for the.
Administration ship subsidy bill.
which was slain by coalition fiji
buster after surviving ten weeks
! Of guerrilla warfare.
F'ilibuster Successful.
Although a majority Of the Sem
ate openly favored enactment Of
the bin, the measure was abandoned
because a successful filihuster
against It had blocked al other
legislation. with the subsidy out
of the way. the Senate was sched.
uled to consider farm bloc legisIa-
tion and scores Of bills pendins for
months on the senate calendar.
Under a unanimous consent agree
ment, vote was to be taken at
o'clock this afternoon on motion
to reeommit the bill, but even It's
fees admitted supporters Of the
subsidy would be in the majority.
This vote was to be the Admins
fraticn's final demonstration to- the
country that, the filibuster by pre-.
vening vote alone had prevented
enactment OF the bill.
The funeral, however. was to fol-
low the recommitment move on
motion to displace the subsidy with
the Ladd filled milk bill. Al couIa-
ter move by Administration forces
to call up the Sterling reclassifica-
ton bill doomed as a forecast OF
new hOstilities which might prevent
progress in disposing of the crowd
ed legislative calendar. Both bills
were reported to have numerous
supporters who Intended to fight
for their consideration.
Fleet VIII Not Suffer.
Despite defeat OF the subsidy bill.
which was written as d means 81
aiding the American merchant ma
rfne, the United States Shipping
Board fleet will not suffer. An aly
preparation Of $4,000. 900 already
has been passed by Congress to
carry the Shipping Board to June
30, 1924, and before that time Con.
gress win have reconvened. with
President Harding intending to
carry his subsidy appeal directly to
the country during the recess, there
is possibility the measure viii be
reintrudticed It the next session
with renewed plea for It's enact
ment.
In the meantime, officials OF the
Shipping Board are devising new
plan for hating tremendous losses
incurred BY Government operation
OF the vessels. This plan, IL was
said, will beH made public later this
week by Chairman A. D. LAaker.
The subsidy plan, which the Senate
rejected, was the boards original
proposal for taking the Government
out of the shipping business. BY
Its terms, $50. 900, 900 would have
been appropriated annually for ten
years to aid private owners In oper-
ating ships under the American
flag. This plan, condemned by lts
opponents, was declared by the
board to be the only means Of guar.
anteeing an American merchant ma

Tada Styka, the famous. young

master of the canvas for the master
Of the screen, he Will find nothing

Styka today.
What, then, was in the letter
which Mr.. Styka sent flying across

myself--a Misunderstanding which

The picture concerned 10 the por-
trait Of Pola Negri done by Mr..
Styka and whose absence from his
recent exhibit in New York was
said to have led to the estrange-
ment between him and the fasci-
mating screen star. When the
works of Mr.. Styka were exhibited,
a large gap on the wall marked
the place where Nine. Negri's por-
trait should have hung. All the
others were there-why should hers
have been missing?
Mr.. Styka explained in charming
French that 1t had merely been

Styka has only been in this couI1-

health and beauty. A portrait Of
Miss Guggenheim, on which he had
only been working for two hours,
flashed from the canvas.
People were coming In, during the
interview. even, to arrange for
future sittings. When 1t was sug-
gested that Mr.. Styka go to Holly

phatically declined. saying that he
intended to remain in New York
and nothing would tempt him to
go West.
