Rubber management recently paid

is and withheld because Of the
friendly suit" OF preferred
stookholder. The suit was vacated
after an appeal on an earlier
ruling.
The friendly action was start
cd because there were doubts in
the mind Of the management
whether directors might be held
responsible personally If a law
suit at a later date would have
found the action against the best
interest Of preferred stockholders.
The U. s. Rubber management
plans TO continue the 50-cent quar-
terly dividend rate on the common
shares. Talk has IL there were
hopes of paying 81 this year. The
directors may vote 81 or $50
dividend when they meet Dec. 8.
GOLFER - Manufacturers of
copper and brass items made a
plea TO the Office of Production
Management for a greater supply
Of copper in order that they might
remain in business during the ma
tionsl emergency. Their total
needs are small.
The oPM responded with figures
that consumption is running above
receipts and that the plea cannot
he upheld. The answer might have
been otherwise IL the OPM took
statistics on the huge inventory
positions of copper consumers.
SCIENCE WHISTLE govern
ments farm subsidy program to
reduce corn production is defeated
by science. Farmers do obtain cash
in reducing acreage planting, but
boost per acre output on the latest
Of laboratory discoveries.
Scientific hybrid stalks have more
ears, resist insects, disease and
drought and yield as much as SO
bushels an acre against the av-
erage of only 80 bushels. That ex-
plains this year huge corn crop.
WARNING - Farm and labor
interests are about the only
groups that enjoy increased war
income. The wives of the million
or more white-collsr worker
know well about the higher costs
of living and the 1941 revenue act.
There Is hate brewing in their
hearts. Politicians had best heed
this warning. The 1912 elections
