NO MORE SPIRITS
 TO BE DISTILLED
War Production Board to Turn All Distilleries to
 Alcohol Making

Washington, Aug. 7-(UP)-A complete ban on the production of distilled spirits is being planned by the War Production board In order to convert all facilities to manufac- ture of industrial alcohol, a spokes- man said today.
 The spokesman said an order could be expected soon but no deci- sion has been reached on the date 1t will become effective. He said 1t possibly would be Nov. l.
 Large distilleries have already dis continued producing beverage alco- hol under a WIPE order issued sev- eral months ago. The new move will require smaller firms to fall in line.
 Many distilleries are now making industrial alcohol, which is used in synthetic rubber, smokeless powder and other explosives and war prod- ucts. When the first order went into effect, WIPE officials said there was no likelihood of a liquor shortage. since a five-year supply was on hand.
 The proposed order was under stood to be part of program to as- sure a sufficient supply of 190-prooi alcohol for the war effort during 1943. While most of the synthetic rubber program Is based on raw products obtained from petroleum the WIPE recently announced an in- crease in the process using grain al- cohol as base.

RUBBER VETO MAY
 NOT BE DEFEATED
Senate Opponents to Stick By It, If Committee
 Becomes Active

Washington, Aug. 7-(UP)-Sen- ate sponsors of an enlarged syn thetic rubber from grain program said that they would not attempt to override President Roosevelt's veto of their legislation If his new ly appointed committee gets "ac- tion."
 MT. Roosevelt, in vetoing the bill to create an independent agency to promote the production of rubber from farm products, appointed a three-man committee to investigate the entire rubber situation and make report to him.
 Shortly afterward its chairman, Bernard M. Barucil, issued a state ment that the group already was at work, and would make its report as soon as possible. The other mem bers are Dr. James B. Conant, pres- ident of Harvard university, and Dr. Karl T. Compton, president of Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. The committee does not plan to hold public hearings.
 A spokesman for the committee said every effort would be made to keep every development in the il- vestigation private"
 There's been entirely too much talking about the rubber situation already he said. we don't plan to add to the confusion. No reports of our progress will come from the committee members and we hope none appearing before the commit tee will divulge details of his tes- timony."
 Lack of quorum in Congress was a practical bar to any attempt to override the presidents veto, which would require two-thirds vote in each house. Senator Guy M. Gill; lette, D., Ia., who introduced the bill, said, however, there was mot a particle of doubt" that Congress would vote to override after 1t re- assemblies in September If the issue Is presented.
