Pills; for Gas
|AmaZeDriver:
and His Car

NEW YORK, July 15-(R-
A 1912 version of the old gold
brick salesman, is on the loose,
and motorists on the gas-starved
eastern seaboard are warned to
watch out for him.
A canny chap, according to
Queens county assistant district
attorney Lawrence J. McGrath,
he plays hard to get but if you
persist he'll sell you pills
guaranteed" to substitute for
gasoline.
First complaint came yester-
day from a driver who said an
other motorist pulled up at a
filling station, put five gallons of
water into what appeared to be
his fuel tank. added the pills
and then drove away.
The fascinated witness drove
off in pursuit, caught the pill
man and purchased five of the
pills for So. He went home and
dropped five gallons of water
into his cars tank, added the
pills and stepped on the starter.
Nothing happened. In fact, his
car now won't even run with
genuine gas.

SharpUpturn
in Heart Ills
is Predicted

(ADvANCE) CHICAGO, July
Is Up A sharp increase in
cases of heart disease - Public
Health's No. l enemy - can be
expected both among service
men and civilians rs a result of
the shock and strain of war, DR..
j. Leland Jones told the Amer
lean Osteopathic Association to-
day.
DR.. Jones, of the Kansas City
(Mo.) College of 'Osteopathy
and Surgery, predicted in a pre-
pared address the anticipated
increase would be in functional
heart disease cases, rather than
organic.
The reason, he said, was that
"the high speed of trucks, au-
tomobiles and airplanes, the
noise of tanks and high explos-
ives and the general increased
tempo of modern warfare are
bound to produce conditions
that result in functional heart
troubles even among sturdy,
trained athletes"
He said soldiers cart" or
neurocirculatory asthenia, fire.
quently mistaken for true or
ganic heart disease, was a func-
tional disorder caused by ex-
cessive physical effort or mental
stress. Organic heart disease of
the heart itself.
While civilians are not sub
jected to the same rigors as
service men, DR.. Jones declared,
many of them nevertheless are
apt to succumb to some func-
tional ailment in time of war
because of overwork, worry or
fear.
He said there was no tenden-
cy of Soldiers heart" sufferers
to die prematurely or to con-
tract organic heart disease, but
neither was the prospect of re-
covery good.
In another prepared address,
DR.. w. G.. Douglas of Clermont,
Fla, said war neurosis probably
would be far less prevalent
among veterans of the present
war than it was after the World
War because the armed services
were attempting to weed out
ose whose constitutional
makeup renders them especial
ly susceptible to it.
Authorities are attacking the
problem (of eliminating the
psychopath, the mentally unfit
and the borderiine mental cases
from military life) on q much
larger scale in this war and as
a consequence they are greatly
reducing the number of poten-
tial neurotics," DR.. Douglas said.

WASHINGTON, July l5-(R
Senator Thomas (D-Okla) said
today he would press the farm
group campaign for an indepen-
dent government rubber agency,
despite Donald Nelson's opposi-
ton to 1t.
The same Senate Agriculture
subcommittee which heard testi-
mony yesterday from the War
Production Chief already has ap-
proved q bill sponsored by Sena-
tor Gillette (D-Iowa), Thomas
and others calling for develop
ment of synthetic rubber from
grain alcohol by an agency en-
tirely apart from WPB's current
synthetic program.
Were going to press that bill
to stress our idea that rubber
should be made made from the
inexhaustible products of the
soil, rather than from petroleum,
which Is an exhaustible re-
source" Thomas declared.
I'VE also can get rubber cheap
er and quicker that way"
Gillette, who questioned Mel
son closely on the status of the
present program, said he pre-
ferred to withhold comment un-
til the committee heard today
from the technical experts who
accompanied Nelson to yester-
days session.
Thomas said, he hopes to get
the experts to answer questions
he asked Nelson on the compare
tive costs of making rubber from
grain and from oil, the compare
tive speed Of both processes, and
the amounts of critical materials
needed in each.
Mr.. Nelson is q busy man and
I didn't expect him to know oil
those details" Thomas said. III
his staff can supply us with the
information I'll be satisfied"

Believe Rubber Should Be
Made from Soil Products
Senator Themes Asserts Rubber Con
Be Mode Chopper, Quicker That Way

Nelson told the subcommittee
that materials are definitely the
limiting factor Of our productive
effort" and that the synthetic
rubber program made severe de-
mands on limited stocks Of cop
per, steel plate and air com.
pressors.
It would be "a rash act" he
said, to divert such critical ma
terials in order to provide
enough rubber producing capac-
ity to supply all civilian - well
as military demands.
The bill introduced by Gil
lette, Thomas and others calls for
creation of q Rubber Supply
Agency headed by . $4,000 .
year presidentially appointed d.
rector. 1t would be the direct
or's duty to provide "at the earli-
est possible time" an adequate
supply of rubber and alcohol
produced from agricultural pro-
ducts to meet both military and
civilian needs.
He would be empowered 10
lend money. purchase or lease
necessary plants. enter into con-
tracts and conduct research IN
rubber development. Materials
needed for rubber manufacture
would be granted priorities over
similar articles sought for pri-
vate accounts.
The measure authorizes ap-
preparation of whatever money
would be needed to carry out tie

Some were caught in black

The first symptoms of the purge
appeared last summer, it was said,
