They feared the order would

Actually. new women's dresses

mentS charging use of the mails to
defraud midwest investors of nearly

Bids for Rubber
Mats Inks Scion

WASHINGTON-Sen. Arthur H.
Vandenberg, r., Mich, found 1t
somewhat disconcerting' that the
army quartermaster corps is ad-
vertising for bids on 1000 rubber
cuspidor mats while the nation
faces a rubber shortage.
This IL q whimsical and
relatively insignificant matter
but 1t suggests the larger in
quiry rs to whether rubber
economy may not be pursued
inside as well rs outside the
defense program" Vandenberg
said.
The army, however, said the
mats were needed for use in hos
pitfalls because, being washable,
they could be kept sterile. A
spokesman explained that II was
decided about a year ago to order
5000 mats but he did not know
how many-if sny-have been or
dered or purchased since the rub
