Our First Synthetic Tires
(New York Times)


 Some 60O0O0 tons of natural rubber must be transported annually from the Dutch East Indies half around the world to meet the American demand for tires overshoes, doormatS insulating materials, ten his balls and thirty thousand other objects What if the Dutch East Indies were blockaded? In the light of this possibility by means remote, the in troduction by the B. F. Goodrich Company of the first American tires made partly of synthetic rub Der assumes importance.
 Striking as the achievement is, we have still far to go before self-sufficient in the matter of synthetic rubber the Germans. At the outbreak of the fully one-third of German auto mobile tires made of the much advertised "Buna" verbal hybrid created by combining the "bu" in butadene and the ma" in natrium or soda The Goodrich rubber is also butadene, though made by process which differs in some essentials from that developed by the Germans. Last year we sold only about 17oO tons of synthetic rubber of various compositions Fully quarter of billion dollars would have to be spent on new plants before we could dispense with natural rubber entirely Even the Germans have not gone so far. Scrap rubber is one of their mainstays as it is one of ours.
 Tires of synthetic rubber made even before the last World War After years of research the Ger mans succeeded in making for the Kaiser set which must have cost a small fortune. They had life of only thousand miles Butadiene tires of today arc tougher and more durable than tires of natural rub ber but also about 30 percent more expensive With natural rubber selling at about 20 cents pound and buadiene rubber at 60 it is clear that if the factory is to compete with the Far Eastern plantation it must be on a utility basis. If they had to meet severe competition the planters of the East could probably sell rubber at or ten cents pound, and still make money. For the moment 1t looks as if we would use synthetic rubber only for articles which must withstand severe wear, acids gasoline, light and heat and for which high price is jlsti- fled Still it is something that American chemists have made it possible not only to produce syn thetc rubber on wholesale scale if need be, but to tho Fla rIIhh ing up the price of the natural product to more han 30 or 40 cents pound.

ELWOOD'S BIG DAY

Once in a lifetime, to individual or a com- munity. comes a supreme moment when the world Salutes and the skies drip tribute.
 Tomorrow that day comes to Elwood, Indiana. Most people heard Of this Madison County town prior to the Republican convention which nom mated an Elwoodian for the Presidency of the United States. It is known chiefly Wendell L. Willkie's birthplace and home youth.
 Now the candidate is to be notified of his can ddacy Wilke supporters will flock to the suddenly famous town Roads from everywhere will be crowd ed with paftisans and the curious on their trek to Mecca.
 Visiting cars will find $50 acres of parking space ready Thousands of unreserved seats-al in the shade-will be waiting Food from health inspected stands; pure drinking water; all sanitary arrange ments approved by the State Health Commissioner; band concerts--eyerything @ Willkeite could wish
 It's Elwood's big day That portion of the popu- lation not in WPA-buit Galloway Park to witness the notification ceremony will be listening in at home. It's nice for Elwood to be getting this att tention because after November nobody will re- member it-for anything.

has been on a downward trend Deaths from all causes in the United States each year have been reduced to less than twothirds the rate at the be- ginning of the century
 For the most part. Germany's worsened health record is attributable to the deliberate malnutriton of the people during the years of preparation for the present war while the Nazi regime prac- ticing self-sufficiency and accommodating stocks of foods But the greater frequency of disease is traceabe also to the perverson of professional talent to war objectives The men in the laboratories have been told to devote their time to important things like death dealing gases and high explosives.
 While German arms conquer the world, German stomachs and hearts being conquered by the attrition of nationwide bad health.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compe"
SATURDAY, AUGUUST IT

SATURDAY, AUGUUST IT
 Adverse aspects again rule today. Labor comes under an influence that hampers a line of business. There may be reasons for looking forward with apprehension re- garding the spread of destructive and subversive influences.
 Heart and Home: Vagaries of weather may affect the nerves. Wo- men should devote much time to preparation and conservation Of food for the coming winter. It is wise to see that the autumn shop ping and sewing are finished early. Increase in the cost of woolen garments is forecast. Leather goods also will rise in price. Girls should pay attention to domestic training and practical interests.
 Business Affairs; Despite the great production of American fac tories and the demand for skilled workers there may be industrial difficulties in widely separated places Business in general will con- tinue to be lively. New channels of trade will benefit the United States. Certain exports will in crease. In the coming winter Flu ropean arts and handicrafts will contribute to the deVelopment of American wares.
 National Issues Patriotism will assume supreme importance. Secret and subversive organizations are to cause legislation which is intended to prevent traitors from operating in numerous guises. The greatest of democracies is to command loy- alty with new emphasis as the youth of the nation mobilizes for de- fense. Politics engages attention.
 International Affairs: As the maps of Europe, Asia and even Africa are redrawn the United States will form strong ties with other ire e d m-l wing peoples Growth in power will increase na- tional responsibilities demanding gifted leaders. Experience in state craft will be recognized by voters. In the coming winter Party lines will pale beside those needs re- quiring great wisdom and fore sight
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of suc- cess and gain through hard work Unexpected experiences in pub lie service are indicated for voting men. eFn
 Children born on this day may be of complex interests and strong character. Many of these Leo na- tives may be moody at times, but exceedingly talented.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GERMANY?

National health reports provide a grim footnote to the Nazi struggle for world power. Public health evidently has been only secondary consideration in Germany under the Hitler regime, and the fact is borne out in the civilian death rate and prevalence of disease
 Deaths from diphthera provide accurate in dex to the circumstances In the cities of the United States, dphtheria deaths decreased from 9.2 to Is per 100000 of population during the period between 1928 and 1886. In English cities, the rate re- duced from 9.3 to 8.6. But in German cities, dph- theria fatalities increased from 84 to rate of Ills.
 In the period, German cases of scarlet fever increased 37000 instances of dySenery trebled in number. And industrial accidents, side issue perhaps but which tends to reflect health con- ditions increased in number 5000 during two year period Germany prepared for

CARELESS FLYING

While scheduled air transport in the United States has completed it's 18th consecutive month without fatality to passenger crew member, the latest report of the Air Safety Board records 49 fatal accidents in non-scheduled flying during a period of about nine months in addition to 733 acci dents of less serious character The most re- grettabe feature of this record is the extent of reck lessness in the air which it reveals.
 Thus it found that IA of the fatal crashes were due to stunting, chiefly by inexperienced pilots at attitudes far below the 1500-foot minimum set in the regulations" Two pilots killed flying their planes into hillsides while taking part in aerial coyote hunts" Three died trying to push through adverse weather conditions without proper training or equipment and in spite of warnings. Stalled turns, mishanded landings and other mistakes due to lack of skill accounted for many of the fatalities. Of the 782 cases reported on, poor technique was found to have been involved in PAS accidents errors of judg- ment in 99 careessness in 89 and disobedience in six
 Well over half the accidents, therefore were directly due to pilot Real progress in private flying cannot be expected until the man who takes to the air has respect for its hazards as well as its advantages.

to be the Poland of South Amer ica."
 NOTE - Most important victory for MT. Hull was a flat permission for the United States to intervene to take over French and British is- lands, if necessary. This does not require consultation with other countries, nor does the Act of Ha- vana require ratification by differ ent Congresses. The most vital part reads: Should the need for emergency action be so urgent that action by the committee cannot be awaited, any of the American Re- publics shall have the right to act
 in the manner which it's own de- fense or that of the continent re- quires."

OLD MANS SUCCESS

Inside details gradually leaking out regarding the Havana Confer ence show that even greater credit is due Cordell Hull Unquestion- ably. "The Old Man" as he is called by the younger men of the State Department, did magnificent job.
 His patience, tolerance and tact won out over many difficult situa- tions, one of them being last minute proposal by the Colombian delegate, Luis Lopez de Mess, re- garding Western Hemisphere man dates over British, French and Dutch possessions in the Americas.
 Just as it looked as if the sub committee had about agreed on the administration of these possessions, Senor Lopez, who once studied at the University of Paris, delivered a long speech, quoting liberally from his Paris professors and proposing new means of dealing with Allied possession in the Americas
 Otner delegates objected to his plan, but he remained obdurate. Time passed, no progress was pos sible. and finally Secretary Hull adjourned the meeting until 10 D. m
 That night the delegates were the guests of the Foreign Minister of Cuba. Secretary Hull wore white tie and tails. But he left the din- her early, doffed his evening dress and turned up promptly at 10 D. m. for the subcommittee meeting.
 But aside from the interpreter, he was the only delegate there. So he sat down to wait. About lO:20 D. m. the Ecuadorean delegate arrived. obviously in high spirits after the dinner. He joined MT. Hull who still solemnly waited. Then at l0:30 came the Argentine and Brazilian delegates; then. the Dominican and the Pananali. Still the Colombian

SOUTH AMERICAN POLAND

Biggest undercover crisis in the conference took place at private session of the subcommittee on Western Hemisphere possession. Ar gentina was opposing the U. $. plan to take over British and French islands, if it. looked as if they might fall into Nazi hands.
 This brought forth long and im- passioned plea from MT. Hull for American unity He pointed out that a new system of pillage and murder had arisen in Europe, set ting the world back 800 years, Whether the Americas liked it or not, he said, they had to cope with it. They could not merely say they expected to remain neutral.
 Poland and Norway, MT. Hull continued, had said they wanted to remain neutral So also had Hol- land and Belgium. And because they had tried to be, neutral, they were dragged down one by one. If they had stuck together, he said, these countries would be in far different position today.
 So, he concluded, this is what the Western Hemisphere faces and the countries of the Americas can eith- CT stand together and survive, or stand separately and fall
 It was most eloquent plea, and made profound impression. But immediately after he had finished, the Argentine delegate rose and said:
 But my country does not want

Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Knox. In fact, the opinion inside the Administration has been unan- imous.
 However, the President himself, has been loathe to move.
 Privately he has been one of the strongest believers in helping Great Britain, but in the last few weeks he seems to have stood absolutely still.
 Eighteen months ago he took the lead in warning the Senate Military Affairs Committee that this coun- try's frontier was on the Rhine or words to that effect. He got a howl of criticism from the isola- tionists, but the reaction ill the country now indicates that they con- slider him right
 Twelve months ago he began sell ing airplanes to England and France, again despite Senate criticism. And again the vast majority of the coun- try now agrees with him.
 And last summer he warned Con- gress that war was going to break in September and that the Neu- trality Act should be changed then. Congress ignored the advice, but again the President was right.
 Now. however, Roosevelt has marked time for several weeks re- garding destroyers for Great Bri- tain. No reason is given by those closest to him, but the accepted ex- planation boils down to the simple fact that it is an election year.
 NOTE: Last summer word from Berlin quoted the Hitler entourage as saying that one reason for sched-. uling the war now was because ftlle

WHO IS THE MAN?

Curiosity continues regarding whom the President was talking about in his Chicago speech when he said everyone had been coop erating in the National Defense program except one man.
 The White House has now let it be known that this was not meant to be Henry Ford, who had just turned down a big order for Brit ish motors. However. no other word has leaked out as to whom the President was referring.
 i So newsmen expect to ask him when he returns from Hyde Park.

delegate, for whom the meeting was called, did not appear.
 Finally, just before Il p. m. he arrived. Secretary Hull still waited patiently. No sooner did Senor Lo- peg put his head in the door than he said:
 On behalf of my government, I withdraw the proposal which I made today"
 Cordell Hull had won out-just by waiting.
