RUBBER WAS ONLY
UNFINISHED TASK
One Successfully VuIcanized
Piece of Synthetic Product
Left in Edison's Desk.
BY the Associated Press.

WEST ORANGE. N. j., October 21.-
Locked in a drawer of Thomas A. Edi-
sons desk at his home is a small piece
of vulcaniZed rubber that represents
the successful completion of che of the
last experiments in his long search for
formula for making rubber out of
golden rod
1t was brought to him less than a
month ago by one of his assistants.
Arthur L. Walsh. vice president of the
Edison Industries, who said it pleased
him greatly.
1t had been made under his direc-
lions and indicated solution to a prob.
lem that had worried him during the
early days of his illness-the dificultv
in vulcaniZing rubber obtained from
golden rod because of the impurities In
the plant.
Experiments Not Completed.
Walsh, in a statement given out. to-
day after a conference with Charles
Edison, the inventors son, indicated
that Edlsons experiments in synthetic
rubber had not been completed.
His only uncompleted experiments
were those in rubber" the statement
read. Undoubtedly, the rubber expert
ments will be carried on, but this will
be determined later by conference
that Charles Edison will hold with
Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone.
During the early part of his illness
Mr.. Edison continued to direct all of
his rubber experiments, and reports were
given to him each day.
one thing which worried him when
ne became i'll was the difficulty in at
tempting TO vulcanize rubber obtained
from goldenrod, because of the i'm
pur1tleS in the goldenrod. Mr. Edison
laid out series of experiments which
were tried in his laboratories, and
within the last 80 days a piece of vul-
canized rubber obtained from golden
rod was brought to him. This was
merely the successful elimination of
one OF his own governments.
No Personnel Changes.
This piece of rubber pleased him
greatly and is now locked in the drawer
OF his desk at Glenmont."
Walsh's statement revealed that no
changes or reorganization in the per-
sonnet of the Thomas A. Edison indus
tries is contemplated.
The position of chairman of the
board, which he held, will be abolished
the statement said.
Several years ago Charles Edison
was chairman of the bo2rd when his
father was president" the statement
read. six years ago. however. when
Charles Edison assumed the complete
executive control and direction Of the
Thomas A. Edison Industries, he was
made president and his father became
chairman of the board. This position
will now be abolished"
