BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Judging from his vehemence, 1t
must have been quite a relief to
French Ambassador Henry-H to
be able to shout at the State De-
partment recently: Treason, bad
faith"
He has had so many uncomfort-
able explanations to make lately,
that a chance to turn the tables was
an opportunity he did not dismiss
lightly. In fact, he went so far as
to hint that this was no time to
irritate Vichy, as the French feet was
trembling in the balance. The fleet
has a way of trembling acutely when
the Vichy government has point to
drive home.
1t has long been a contention Of
British diplomats that the tempo
Of Berlin-Vichy collaboration de-
pended more on public opinion in
France and on the showing of the
Allies In the war than on diplo-
matte negotiations between the
United States and France.
Gave Thesis Credence.
Acting Secretary Of State Sumner
Welles gave this thesis credence
when he announced that the United
States would give all available sup
port to the forces Of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle in the Pacific. This was
a reversal of Secretary Hulls diplo-
matte stand concerning St. Pierre
and Miquelon and M. Henry-Haye
did not lose the opportunity to point
1t out. His verbal arguments. which
he intends to put into writing con-
tend that this country has recog-
nized Vichy and has accepted her
point of view as to the status quo
of the colonial empire. 1t Is therefore
against our agreement. to side with
the traitor" Gen. de Gaulle, who
has been deprived Of his rank and
condemned to death by the Vichy
government, according to the en-
voy's view
In fairness to M. Henry Haye. 1t
must be said that he has had no
easy road to walk in Washington.
His Job was first to cajole, then to
threaten and demand supplies. then
to plead helplessness when the Nazis
forced their will on Vichy. His over
all job was to keep his government
informed as to the war potentiality
of the United States. Just before
our entrance into the war. the Vichy
Ambassador reached the peak of
his pro-Ally sentiments.
Tears in Eyes.
He even had tears in his eyes
and a tremolo in his voice when he.
assured State Department officials of
his love for the Anglo-American
cause. Since the fiasco at Pearl
Harbor and the collapse of Singa-
pore his attitude has been stiffen-
ing, end now his comments as to
the illegality of recognizing Gen. de
Gaulle's effective possession" of
New Caledonia are couched in strong
terms.
In spite OF the firm language Of
the Vichy Ambassador. neither he
nor most Of his staff is anxious to
leave Washington. One of them, an
ticipating the worst, made overtures
to a news agency asking If he could
get q job in town if relations neared
the deadline. Another member does

Rules Issued 10 LET
Deferred Registrars
Seek Officer Posts
Volunteers Must Have
Dependents Permission,
Be American Citizens

National Selective Service head
quarters today issued details of the
plan whereby registrants with de-
pendants may volunteer solely with
the view of becoming commissioned
officers.
The plan, announced by the War
Department Sunday, is designed to
tap the reservoir of prospective off-
GERS among the 100000 men de-
ferred because they are unable to
support their dependents on q pri-
Yates pay.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Sc
lective Service director, said the
volunteers seeking 4 commission
must be American citizens with at
least four years Of high school edu-
cation. II they are under II years
OF age, they must have the written
consent of their parents or guar
dians to volunteer.
The first step is for the class ga
registrant to file with his local
board an application to volunteer
and waiver of dependency" which
must be signed by his dependents.
Board May Reject Applications.
The board, at its discretion, may
reject applications of any who
should be deferred as necessary
men" in war production.
II approved, the applicant is given
a preliminary physical examination
by the boards physician. If he
passes that test, he is sent to an
Army reception or replacement CEN
ter for further physical and possibly
mental tests.
The registrant is then given .
report on whether he is acceptable.
The applicant takes the report to
the local board and, If the Army
passed him, awaits call for induc-
ton by his board.
He will be trained three months
as private, then will enter an Of
flcers training school for three
months. at the end of which he will
be commissioned q second lieu
tenant.
Cannot Grant Group Deferments.
Selective service officials said,
meanwhile. that no immediate in
structions to draft boards would be
forthcoming on the possible defer
ment Of newspapermen or radio
employees on grounds that they are
essential to the civilian war effort.
Gen. Hershey indicated at q press
conference recently that he consid-
cred newspapers and radio essential
industries. Since that time, selective
service officials said, both the press
and the radio have said that they
did not consider their employees en-
titled to draft deferments.
A selective service spokesman said
Gen. Hershey was not permitted to
make group deferments, but could
only advise draft boards as to what
industries he considered essential
The spokesman added that Gen.
HerShey's press conference remarks
did not constitute such advice.
Selective service headquarters said
that only Congress could provide for
group deferments by industries.

SCIENTISTS OF COLLEGES JOIN
 RUBBER STUDY

Akron, 0, (Up)--m an effort furs ther to develop and improve tho use of the countrys most vltally needed material--Synlhetle rubber, outstanding scientists Of three top- ranking engineering colleges have been called upon Co work with the research engineers Of the rubber in dustry.
 The FireStone Tire & Rubber O., pioneer In the development of SynthetlcS, has completed arrange mentS with Princeton University, Ohio State University and Case School of Applied Science, Cleve- land, to have the schools chemistry and engineering scientists study some of the lesser known aspects of the synthetic product
 Each of the schools win tackle . different problem, and the records of the company's engineers will be available to them,
 Makes Comparative Study
 At Princeton, Dr. Hugh Taylor, chairman of the chemistry depart. ment, is studying tho fundamental makeup of the synthetic rubber as compared to that of the natural product.
 Natural rubber and synthetic ruh- Der have many physical properties in common, but in certain types of the product, there are differences that may be desirable In some cases, but undesirable in others.
 From pr. Taylor, who is delving into the molecular structure, the rubber industry hopes for methods of altering its manufacture to over- come the less desirable properties and to improve those already desir- able.
 Proceeding along another line, Dr. c. E, Boord, head of the depart ment of chemistry at Ohio State University, is carrying on experi- ments to provide better utilization of the properties of the synthetic that is now being turned out for airplane tires, military truck tires and tank treads for the fighting fronts.
 Seeks Better Processes masmuch as synthetic rubberS show marked differences from nat ural rubber in certain respects, Dr Boord, is working on modiflcations of present manufacturing processes which may lead to marked improve ment in the quality of the finished product.
 At the third school, Case School of Applied Science, pr. c. F. Prut- ton, head of the chemistry and en- gineering department, is concerned with the type of materials used in compromising of synthetic rubber.
 There is a marked difference in chemicals employed with the nat ural and synthetic rubberS, and Dr Prutton is employing the skills of his department to attempt to find the ingredients for, say, a hard wearing synthetic, or one which has great elasticity, depending upon the multitudinous uses of the army and the navy.
 The purpose in enlisting the serv- ices of these schools Firestone co explained, is help get the scientific knowledge and experience that is in the research laboratories of the colleges directly into the rubber as- sembly line to help break America $ rubber problem and aid in winning the war.
