A BIT TOO FAR

We can synpothize with the indig-
notion thot prompts Congressman
Pheiffer of New York to osk nnondo-
tory death penolty for any alien or c'tl-
zen who gives old and comfort to the
enemy. But fear Mr.. Pheiffer hos not
given enough consideration to the way
such measure might work out.
How, for exompIe, would he define
"eivine aid and comfort" to the enemy
Secretary Knox gave the Jops comfort
when he reported on what happened at
Pearl Horbor. Oman Hoover gave the
Germans old when he disclosed the or.
rest Of eight soboteurs and listed the
places they were told to destroy. Would
Mr.. Pheiffer have these Officials man.

Also, it is.weII known thot nnondo-
tory stiff sentences often result in
ocouittos where quilt is unquestion-
able but where juries believe the newt
able punishment exceeds the crime.

SOUND ARGUMENT

The folks outside the gasoline ro-
tioning oreo have sound argument
when they soy, in effect: IF it is rub
Der they want to sove, how about just
taking the tires? Why let us wear them
out bit by bit, controlled through goso-
line rotioning, if we prefer to do our
non-essentiol driving all at once and
then walk or ride horses until the war
IS over?"
Experts admit thot the stroightfor-
ward course, and the efficient one,
would be to expropriote what mileage
remains in tires and use it for the good
Of the nation But thot is q risky course,
perhaps fooIhordy politically. So the
problem won't be solved that way. Ma
tion.wide gasoline rotionine will be
tried, insteod.

McClellond Barclay is lieutenant
commander in the naval reserve, bet
ter known for his magazine covers and
other artistic products Also, he is O dog
lover, and has been doing series Of
posters to publicize the use Of dogs in
the war.
Barclay hos come up with on ideo
thot seems we'll worth considering.
Obviously, we can't assign enough men
to watch all the lonely spots where Mo-
Il soboteurs could land from submor-
ines. Barclay suggests that trained
dogs, in shelters at intervals Of quor-
ter-miIe, with coost euordsron for
every three miles, would prove involu-
oble as sentries on the coast.
There may be objections which do
not occur to us. Still the ideo should not

with his public relations coun-
sci and decided that the letter
if given out, should come from
RR. incidentally, in building
q bonfire in Washington, rule
seems to be to hire q press
agent to fan the flames and
throw on poper in the form Of
handouts. The Houdry public
relations man was Frank Walt
man, formerly chief publicity
man for the Republican porty.)
All the foregoing wos right
out in the open, but there ore
several angles Of the story thot
have to be dug for. In the first
place, two Of the oil companies
which Mr.. Houdry sold had oP-
proved the process for making
butodiene, Sun Oil and Socony-
Vacuum, each owns nearly q
third interest in the Houdry
Process corporation. Arthur
Pew, Jr., Of Philode lphio, is q
vice president Of both Sun and
Houdry. Sun Oil thus for hos
no port Of the government S
butodiene program, in which
STANDARD Of New Jersey is OF
course dominont from the oil
standpoint.
II is therefore noturol and
not in the Ieost dishonoroble
thot the gentlemen OF Sun,
Socony.Vocuum and Houdry
might have figured thot if this
SYNTHETIC rubber industry is
going to amount to something,
they would be wanting O piece
Of it. The motives could be en-
-tireIy patriotic, as Mr.. Houdry
sold they we're, but they could
olso be strictly business. Hence
