approved previously touched off
prolonged discussion.
And Senator George CD-Ga), in
an address to which the senate
listened attentively, said it would
be impossible to convince the peo-
pie that the present administration
was preparing for peace. Their
reaction, he added, would be ex-
pressed in the coming presidential
election.
'Conscript manpower, conscript
plants, conscript the farmer, It
you please" the Georgian doomed.
"Conscript every industry, cop,
script the labor to run industry.
Conscript the wealth of the coun-
try in peace.time and then watch
how seriously the American people
will say that you are standing TOR
peace; watch the verdict, gentle
men, in November"
To newspaper correspondents,
but not on the senate floor, Senator
Holt D-W. Va.) said he had re-
ceived information from a source
he considered reliable tn two
pro-administration senators were
conducting a canvass Of the senate
to see if there was sufficient
strength for a declaration that a
state of wal existed between the
United States and Germany. .
Holt refused to reveal either the
source of his information Of the
identity Of the senators he said
were involved.
With heavy irony, Senator
Wheeler (D-Mont) suggested to the
senate, meanwhile, that it "go the
whole way" and attach "a decla'
ration of war" to the CONSUMPTION
bill.
The amendment directed at con.
tractors with whom the govern
ment has difficulty reaching
agreements was presented Jointly
by Senator Russell D-Ga) a d
Senator Overton (D-La), with a
statement that it was intended to
prevent a 'sitdown strike" against
limitations on profits which manu-
facturers may derive on the pro-
duction of numerous defense items.
It would confer upon the secce'
taries of wal and of the navy
broad authority to take over the
plants OF manufacturers with
whom satisfactory agreements
could not be reached, If the plants
in question we're deemed "neces'
sary for the national defense"

DRAFT BILL

the conscripts are to be in the
training camps, according to Min
toms outline.
A schedule has been drawn up
envisioning the conscription Of al
most 400, 600 men by the end of the
year, 400, 900 more on April /, 1e41.
and similar half-yearly increments
until Oct. /, 1914.
BY this process, the military OF.
ficials plan to have available at
the end Of five years a total OF
1000, 900 trained men in the active
service or in the reserves (into
which the conscripts pass after the
period of service).
General George c. Marshall, the
army's chief Of staff, recently said
that number was a minimum mo-
cessary for defending the Western
Hemisphere against invasion from
abroad.
In calling up the conscripts, ar
my officials say, plans are to ex-
empt men with dependents, and
the bill itself provides an out for
conscientious directors, although
they may be required to devote a
year to non-combatant work or to
work of national importance under
civil direction.
Amendments
Among the amendments which
the senate added to the bill was
one by Senator Adams (D-Colo) tc
extend present profit limitations on
government contracts for ships and
airplanes to contracts for weapons
ammunition, and other military
equipment.
The chamber adopted this amend
ment, without a record vote, at q
time when the national defense,
commission and the navy were try
ing to get congress to suspend the
special limitations on ship and or
plane profits by a provision at
tached to the pending excess pro-
fits tax bill.
Senators pointed out that the sen
ate amendment extending the spe'
cial limitations would become in
operative if Congress granted thu
request of the commission and the
navy.
Approaching the final vote, thu
senate brushed aside proposed sub
stitutes for the draft bill. One Of
the last disposed Of was that by
Senator Maloney D-Conn) to de
lay concription until Jan. l while
voluntary enlistments we're sought
to fill the army's requirements.
Nuys' explanation
After the final action had beer
taken, Senator Van Mugs D-Ind)
who voted against the bill, issuee
an explanatory statement, saying
that while he strongly favored ar
adequate national defense he was
fundamentally opposed to compul
sorry military CONSUMPTION in time
Of peace"
A statement by Senator Guffy
O-Pa) who voted for the bill, sale
he would never vote to send a
single American soldier to fight
on European SOIL" but would ICON
tinue to support every measure
that strengthens our defense anc
thereby discourages all thought Of
aggression on the part of foreign
forces"
The supporters of immediate
CONSUMPTION had an uncomfosSbly
close call on an amendment by
Senator Hayden (D-Ariz) to post
pone the actual drafting of men
for go days and give the voluntary
enlistment system a further trial
meanwhile. The final vote on this
amendment was Al vote for it to
43 against.
Soon afterward, the senate
turned down rs to So an amend
ment by Senator Nicely (D-W Va)
calling for a 3O-day postponement.

WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s-At the Department
of Commerce, they tell you that the No. /
problem for the economic trouble shooters in
the national defense program is RUBBER.
Funny thing about rubber-it's as American
as Indian corn. But now that this hemisphere
is facing a crisis, an adequate rubber supply
is almost as far away as star dust.
Rubber was unknown until wandering ad-
venturers before the 18th century watched
South American Indians playing with a ball
that bounced like nothing the white men had
ever seen.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-08-29
BACK TO G RIDES

Yet today, if rubber imports to the western
hemisphere were shut off, about 80, 600, 900 mo-
tor vehicles would cease to chug, the defense
program would be dead, and the horse-and-
buggy days without rubber tires) would come
back.
The United States uses so, 900 tons of rubber
a month. Seventy-five per cent for tires.
Ninety-eight per cent of the world supply of
rubber comes from the Dutch East Indies and
British Malaga leach produces around 376, 900
IONS a year,. A paltry $1,000 tons a year
come from Brazil, on the continent where
rubber first bounced into the economic pic
ture. Africa, Central America, other South
American countries and India account for the
rest.

sYNTHETICs ON THE WAY

SYNTHETICs ON H WAY
Synthetic rubbers there are severaD are
well on their way. We produced ZOO tons of
disable synthetic rubber last year. If this
seems only a drop in the bucket, note that we
will produce $1,000 tons this year.
Under OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES plant expan-
sion to the tune of about half a billion dollars
(one-twentieth of the present national defense
outlay) we probably could be supplying the
full demand in eighteen months to two years.
Synthetic rubber is three to five times as
costly as the natural product under the pres
ent set-up. This will not be true even a year
from now. 1t does not mean that finished
synthetic rubber products will cost anything
like that much more.
To conserve rubber, we could have driyeless
days for our 30, 600, 600 cars and trucks. We
could use retreads when the old tires blew out.
We could decrease the national speed limit
rubber experts estimate that if everybody
held throttles to 80 or 40 miles per hour, it
would add months to our rubber supply). We
even could reclaim rubber from worm-eaten
rubber bands, bursted toy balloons and tired
blimps. Somewhere along the line we would
turn to our approximately eight months SUD-
ply of raw and finished rubber.
MIGHT GROW OUR OWN
It might be tough, but it undoubtedly would
work, and perhaps in a year or two, Depart
ment of Agriculture experts, working with the
natural supply in South and Central America.
and California, would have a satisfactory cron
of natural rubber in the offing.
The Department of Commerce says that if
we have an enemy in the world, he had better
not plan on licking us by swapping UP all the
worlds rubber.
He might upset the rubber-tired apple cart
for a while, but in the end, we'd be pop-non.

DENIAL PROPOSAL
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
wish 10 express some OF DENTS
try's views in regard TO Proposal
No. in the coming election.
In Mondays paper NOV. 2D, a
very fair and impartial account for
the most part OF Proposal No. 4
was presented. However the clos
ing paragraphs seemed to be direct
ed toward defeat OF this measure.
Only those who have tried to
promote legislation for public benz
fit and protection know how slow
and difficult such procedures are.
II. f. (the Pure Food and Drug
Act). Organized dentistry in
Michigan has given much thought
and time and effort in introducing
the act to be voted on in the COM
ing election. 1t isn't perfect but
ii is definite step in the right di-
rection. Already a states have
similar legislation.
We know and maybe you know
that defeat of this worth while
legislation. will be a discouragiug
factor TO any early future act OF
similar nature. The politicians will
tell any group wishing to promote
like legislation that the public has
spoken and that they have to re-
spect its wishes.
Therefore we know how import
ant 1t is that this measure succeed
even though II isn't all that can
be desired. 1t is definitely a ste?
forward and any better early Ia
ture legislation will depend large
ly on Yes" vote.
We both know that | have left
much unsaid but have tried TO
give you the basic reason in my
judgment, why this proposal should
not be defeated and why it should
have your support.
Sincerely.
Howard T. Merritt.

CURES DISCOVERED

History might have been differ
ent if the new treatment and cure
for meniere's disease had been dis
covered earlier. The disease causes
a form e dizziness which affect
ed many historical persons, and is
said 10 have been the cause OF
some OF Martin Luther's troubles
such as throwing the inkwell.
The dizziness is peculiar and not
uncommon Objects appear 10
whirl in huge jerks. One or both
ears become painful and have a
roaring pounding noise
Or. Walter +. Dandy Of Johns
Hopkins University says ii was
this type of balm which Martin
Luther. in one attack. attributed
TO the devil. at whom he hurled
the ink.
The new treatment is injection
of histamine. a depressor drug
extracted from ereot. Its effect
was discovered by accident about
year ago at the Mayo Clinic,
when a woman was given hista-
mine for a headache.
This patient also had Meniere's
disease After the histamine 1t
was noticed that the dizzy spells
had stopped. Since then 40 per-
sons have been treated with hist
anime at the clinic.
Dr. Bayard T. Horton, who re-
ported the histamine discovery
says that in most cases. histamine
has 10 be given occasionally TO
prevent occurrences. and that the
frequency cf these treatments has
not been worked out.
Dr. Dandy reports that surgery
completely cures the dizziness and
that in 401 operations he has had
only one death. The operation is
virtually painless. II cuts either
wholly or partly. the eighth cram

hearing.
