Plan Offered to Keep
20 Million Cars on Road
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate committee. considering
a bill to permit ALLEGATION of $500
tons of crude rubber and $4,000
tons of reclaimed rubber each year
for recapping and retreading of
tires, was told today that this would
permit operation of "at least TO-
100000 passenger cars.
Il believe it has been definitely
established" Senator Ellender,
Democrat. of Louisiana, informed
the Senate Banking Committee,
that in order for this country to
carry on its war production pro-
gram and maintain a sound civilian
economy, We must have at least
that number of passenger cars in
operation
Normally, there are about 30,000,-
600 passenger cars in operation.

Scrap Rubber
To Collected
In Brief Drive
Results Will Decide
TotoI Cos Rotioninq,
President Indicates

President Roosevelt disclosed
late today that he plans an early
pick-up-the-rubber campaign to
ascertain just how much scrap
rubber there is in the United
States.
He indicated that results of the
campaign will go a long way toward
determining whether gasoline ra-
tioning will be necessary on a Ma
tion-wide scale in order to con-
serve automobile tires, but empha-
sized that the rubber and gasoline
situations should not be confused.
Offering what he termed little
piece of advice to the country as
a whole, however, the President said
any one having four tires on his car
should try to make them last as
long as he can.
Two things will help in this tire
conservation, he added, cutting
mileage at least in half and not
driving so fast.
He emphasized that for the time
being this was just advice, explain
ing that he hoped that it would not
be necessary to implement it in any
other way. This is only hope,
however, he said.
The pickup rubber campaign
should get under way pretty soon.
the President said in response to
further questions. He added that
he thought it was a good idea to
strike while the iron was hot, and
it is hot now.
1t should be a short and snappy
campaign to pick up all the scrap
rubber there is in the United States,
and should not last longer than two
weeks. the President said.

Records Restored

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK-London's bombings
have led to discovery of new chemi-
cal bath which restores the reading
matter on charred paper, even when
to the eye it is uniform, coal black.
The odd thing is that the eye of
an ordinary camera sees this restora-
ton, although the human eye does
not do so we'll.
The paper is bathed with chloral
hydrate, in rs per cent solution
of alcohol. 1t is dried, and the
treatment repeated several times
until mass of chloral hydrate
crystals covers both sides OF the
paper. Finally comes bath with
10 per cent glycerin.
Ar ordinary camera with stand
ard contrasty film then photographs
the paper, and the photograph re-
veals the lost characters. The treat
ment restores reading matter equally
on both sides.
Advantages are quickness, ease,
reliability of getting results and
the fact that no special apparatus
is required. The discovery is re-
ported in Nature, Britain's science
journal, by w. D. Taylor and Henry
J. Walls of the Metropolitan Police
Laboratory, London.
They say they are not able to ex-
plain why the chemical bath causes

Activities Of Axis
Special Report Drown;
House AppIouds Speech
By Committee Head

The House Committee Investigat-
ing Un-American Activities is sched-
uled to meet in executive session
today to act on a special report
showing that Axis agents have
flooded the country with propa-
ganda designed to smear Presi-
dent Roosevelt and undermine the
confidence of the American people
in his personal integrity.
Chairman Dies said the report
probably would be made public to-
morrow.
Spies of the enemy countries,
Mr.. Dies said, have carried on a
"vitriolic" campaign to cause dis
unity chiefly by attacking the Presi-
dent on the ground that he de
liberately dragged" this country into
the war. Literature denouncing
Mr.. Roosevelt, he declared, has even
been left on the doorsteps Of thou
sands of homes. Other criticisms,
he declared. have been made over
the telephone and in the form Of
whispering"
The voluminous report, based on
intensive Investigations of commit
tee agents, Mr.. Dies revealed, will
contain numerous exhibits to sup
port the charges.
Mr.. Dies first intimated the COM
mittee had the report in prepara-
ton when he was granted an hour
yesterday on a point of special
privilege to answer press reports
which quoted Representative Eliot,
Democrat, of Massachusetts, as hav-
ing declared he had lied concerning
failure of the committee last fall
to make public results of an in
vestigation of subversive activities
In this country by Japanese.
Mr.. Eliot denied he had used the
word lie in the speech quoting his
attack on the Dies committee. He
did, however ask Mr. Dies why he
had given the House and the public
the impression" that if his CON-
mittee had received the cooperation
Of various Government departments,
Americans would not have any rea-
son today to remember Pearl
Harbor.' .
