CUBAN SITUATION EASIER.
State Department Keeps in Close

be better this morning than it was
yesterday and last night.
The State Department kept in ex-
tremely close touch with American
officers in Cuba and received no re-
ports of any danger to Americans.
Secretary Hull was asked by re-
porters what steps might be taken by
the United States in case the Situ-
alton grew more serious, but declined
comment on the ground that the posi-
tion of this Government was we'll

Observers here do not expect the
United States to intervene in any
way in Cuba. Indications are that,
rather than resort to intervention,
Americans might be evacuated from
any troubled zones.

Five bodies of persons Killed in

The discovery of the bodies and the

died in the hospital was Miguel
Aracil. One of the bodies found was
identified as Juan Maria Munoz. a

Capital Like Ghost Town.
The capital was like a ghost town

ment oppositionists as members OF
the A. 3. C. and Autentico Societies
fear extreme radicals may seize the
current situation as the time for open
revolt against the government and
assume the powers the opposition
groups had hoped to acquire for
themselves.
There were many indications that
extreme radicals, headed by Gulteras,
were making the most of their oppor-
tunities and that they were far better
equipped at this stage of the warfare
than either the A. B. G. or Autentlcos
organizations.
Observers believed the situation
would become most serious If the
former Secretary of War should be
able to grab the torch OF reVolutloll
from the hands of the students and
others who started the anti-govern-
ment movement and wage war against
his arch enemy, Col. Fulgencio Batlsta,
commander in chief of the army.
In such situstion the A. B. C.s
and Autenticos would find themselves
wedged between the cross-flre of the
sdherents of Batista and Guiteras.
Before issuing its state of war de-
cree, the cabinet accepted the resig-
nation of DR.. Rafael Loire. the sec
retary of sanitation, who was re-
ported to have opposed a projected
decree to abolish the National Medical
Federation.

Pine paper making in progress
in the Savannah Laboratory OF DR..
Herty.
Then after some study, he dis
covered that pine wood contained
only one and one-quarter per cent
Of resin-no more than spruce. He
points out that the tree does not
contain resin in large quantities
until after it is faced for turpen-
tine. The turpentine is manufac-
tured by the tree to heal the
wound.
'Those who did experiment with
pine pulp tried to make it just as
they did from spruce, grinding the
wood under 90 pounds cylinder
pressure. We discovered that 1t
was necessary to grind pine under
100 pounds pressure" DR.. Herty re-
lated.
"Then in making sulphite pulp,
we found that 1t was necessary to
cook the mixture much longer than
spruce in order to allow the acid
to soak through the comparatively
harder wood.
1.-THE use of pine for wood pulp
came no sooner because the people
who could have developed 1t SIM
ply were not interested. They had.
formerly, supply of wood close to
their mills and they were not dis
posed to branch out.
''Those who did try" DR.. Herty
said, never made any attempt at
systematic research, and did not
take the pains to plough through
the necessary preliminary research
needed for success"
The best part of DR.. Herty's
work is that 1t is free and open to
anyone, and any person or corpora
ton wishing to benefit from his
discoveries has always had his la
boratory and the facts and figures
discovered there open to them.

Pulp Supply Perpetual

THAT means we have enough
wood in the South for an enormous
paper industry, enough timber for
lumber, and enough trees for a
great naval stores industry in per-
petuity," he declared.
"why was this enormous supply
overlooked when the paper indus
try first started in the United
states?" DR.. Herty continued.
when wood was first used for
paper manufacture between 1860
and 1870, the North was an indus
trial center while the South was
an agricultural area. In the North,
where the factories would normally
locate, spruce was found near the
centers of population, close to the
consuming markets, and its wood
was beautifully adapted for paper
manufacture.
Because of the cold climate,
growth of spruce was slow, and
there was no attempt at reforesta-
ton. Gradually the supply of pulp
wood receded further from the
mills, and finally became so scarce,
1t was necessary to import logs
from Canada. But Canada was
anxious to develop it's own paper
industry and threatened an en-
barge on pulp logs" DR.. Herty said.
mo attempt was made on
scientific basis to convert pine into
paper because of two radical mis-
conceptions about it," he declared.
1.-THE only people who could aid
in such development were the
paper manufacturers of the North,
and they had seen pine lumber
shipped north-all of heart pine
and said 1t was too yellow for pa
per.
"Or they had driven through the
South and had seen pine trees
cupped for turpentine and covered
with resinous mass, and nothing
is dreaded about a paper mill like
pitch"

testimony, has demonstrated that
southern pine newsprint ban be de-
livered in New York for $27.54 a
ton. Average freight rates from
American mills to New York are
$3.50 a ton, and for the Canadian
mills, $3.50 a ton. Steamer lines
touching Savannah have offered to
haul newsprint manufactured in
the south to New York, Baltimore
and Philadelphia for So ton.
DR.. Herty has submitted his fig
ures on costs to leaders of the in
dustry, and they have yet to point
out an error in them.
The question of obtaining funds
to continue the experiments of the
laboratory has always been a
knotty problem. At present there
is money enough to continue until
the end of 1886. But DIR. Herty
feels that his two main problems,
conversion of pine into newsprint
and rayon, have been licked. Of
course, there are refinements that
can be worked out, for, as he says,
there will always be problems to
NC Stuulcu III tllC Va paper I,
but his main aim has been accom-
plished.
When he told me that there were
only funds left to run for another
year and a half, asked bluntly:
do you feel that the newsprint
problem has been completely
solved?"
what Is there left to do?" DIR.
Herty countered. I'VE have demon
strated that newsprint up to every
commercial standard and better
than most, can be made from pine
and made much cheaper than we
have any record of its being made
elsewhere. We have put pine pa
per through every test in compare
son with newsprint used by leading
newspapers over the nation, and it
shows greater tensile strength,
greater tearing strength, is strong
err under bursting tests, and is
strictly comparable in thickness
and stiffness.
at has been run through the
presses of every leading daily in
Georgia and prints as well or bet
ter than any of the commercial
papers now on the market. There
is nothing left to prove as to its
feasibility" he declared.

to grow normally. If cultivated,
trees large enough for pulp manu-
facture can be grown in five years.
Don't forget. DR.. Herty adj
jures, "that this statement on
world paper supply is based on the
report Of Just four units of the
Government survey. There are still
twelve units to report. So you can
see that this development is just
as important to South Carolina,
Tennessee, Florida, Alabama. Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas as it
Is to Georgia.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1935-07-26
Better Rayon from Pine

And that seems to be a pretty
complete answer. DR.. Herty feels
just as strongly that he has proved
the availability of Southern pine
for the manufacture of rayon. The
alpha cellulose produced in his la
boratory has been manufactured
into rayon not only there. but in
commercial plants, and experts
who have examined it declare it to
be the equal in quality and strong
err than that produced from north
ern spruce.
The most significant thing about
DIR. Herty's work. beyond the fact
he has shown the availability of
pine for paper. is that this demon
stration opens an inexhaustible
supply of raw material for pulp
manufacturers.
Here again, one only haste ac-
cept Government figures in support
of this statement. In 1881 the
Government started a woods sur
vey of the Southern states with
headquarters in New Orleans. The
survey Is being made In sixteen
sections. Only four Of these units
have reported. but these are

Rusty Nail Locks Door

The bolt to the rear door is a
rusty nail, bent and thrust through
a double staple-but remarkably
efieient-Dr. Herty points out.
But it is a different story when
one comes to the paper making
machinery. That is the best and
most modern one can find, although
it is on a small scale. There is not
single novelty embodied in the
machinery. 1t is all standard and is
identical with that used in every
paper mill in the country. DR..
Herty planned it so, for he wanted
pine paper to be manufactured
under the same conditions that OBJ
tain in any paper factory.
Now let US see what has come
out Of this modest little laboratory
since DR.. Herty started in on his
problem January 1, 1882, with a
staff of six, including the janitor.
He has clearly demonstrated that
newsprint paper up to every COM
mercial standard-and better than
most-can be made from any type
of southern pine at practically half
| the cost of that manufactured from
spruce.
He has clearly demonstrated that
this same pine will produce a quail
| ity of alpha cellulose, and more of
it, that will turn out a grade of
rayon equally as fine as any made
| from spruce, at half the cost.
He has shown that southern pine
can be made into rotogravure
paper, book paper, fine bond writ
| ing paper at the same rate of saw
| ing to the purchasers of these
products.
One does not have to take DIR.
Herty's word on these matters for
they are facts. They can be proved
by the testimony of DR.. Royal S.
Kellogg, secretary of the newsprint
code authority before the NRA
board.
This expert testified in 1888 that
the cost of spruce manufactured
newsprint paper delivered in New
York without interest or profit of
any kind was $47.24 a ton. These
figures were based on an average
taken from all paper mills in the
United States. The cost to Cana
dian mills for the first six months
of 1893, based on a survey of the
twelve most typical mills in Cam
ada, was $43.5S.
