Ey TIE Associated Press.
Undersecretary of War Pat
terson protested to a Senate
committee today that a bill to
permit sufficient ALLEGATION Of
crude rubber to service 20.0O0,-
600 passenger cars annually
would give civilians "a first lien"
on supplies needed by the armed
forces.
Winning OF the war Is para
mount" Mr.. Patterson told the Sem
ate Banking Committee. We need
rubber to equip the Army and Navy
and we believe their needs should
come before the civilians"
The Undersecretary was the first
OF nearly a score Of witnesses, in
cluding Senator'S. rubber company
executives and tire dealers. to op-
pose the measure during the three
day hearing.
Sponsored by the Senate Small
Business Committee, the bill would
permit use of $500 tons of crude
rubber year for recapping and re-
treading Of tires-an amount, this
committee maintained, insufficient
to affect the war effort adversely.
THE bill makes a first lien on
our rubber supply for civilian uses.
Mr.. Patterson asserted. And they
are not even essential uses. They
are mostly for ordinary civilian
traffic. l take it that this measure
means If there isn't enough rubber
to 60 around the Army must go
without
The loser of any war is the one
with the poorest equipment and the
least amount. I am sure the civil
ian population wants to cooperate
and make some sacrifices of its own
But there have been few sacrifices
thus far. In fact, I don't know OF
any"
Mr.. Patterson declared that 90 per
cent of the Nations average yearly
rubber supply had been cut of "by
japanese conquest" Until synthetic
rubber is produced in sufficient
quantities" he added. the armed
forces must take from the stock
pile"

FbI Head Hits Americans
Hampering War Efforts
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June Ill. Edgar
Hoover, director OF the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation. said today
that FBI agents had been seriously
handicapped time and again by
the obstructionist efforts Of those
who had been beguiled BY sinister
apostles of hate in creating con-
fusion and blocking preparedness" "
Even after the arrests Of enemies
Of our country. persons OF good
repute were so beguiled that they
actually sought to bring pressure
to bear in useless attempt to
influence the FBI in the discharge
of its duty" he said in an address
before the graduating class OF st.
Johns University school OF law.
had it not been for an extreme
sense Of gullibility and an attitude
of apathy on the part Of too many
citizens. foreign agents by the hun
dreds would not have fiocked to
America to SOW their poisonous
hates. too often with the aid OF
American citizens" he added.

President Roosevelt signed today
measure which sets up a $780,
600 900 Government corporation to
help small businessmen get war
contracts and also eases the re-
strictions of the antitrust laws to
forward the Nations war program.
After consulting with the Attor-
ney General, the chairman Of the
War Production Board is authorized
to approve war production pro-
grams without regard to the anti
trust and Federal Trade Commis-
sion laws. The WPB chief would
have to certify that the programs
he approved were necessary to the
conduct OF the war.
The section was designed to re-
move the fears of businessmen that
they might be prosecuted later for
carrying out certain projects as
signed them by WPB.
The smaller War Plants Corp.
created by the new law is author
lied to finance plant construction
and expansion by smsll businesses
and to enter into Government con-
tracts which would be sublet to

Roosevelt and MI Molotov had
reached q unity of viewpoint on the
problems OF American-Soviet CO.
operation in safeguarding the peace
and security of the world.
Senator Tydings. Democrat. OF
MARYLAND, said the creation OF a
second front in Europe seems to be
the most sensible thing that can be
done at this time"
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota. often critical Of adminlstra-
ton foreign policies before the
United States entered the war, said
he long had thought that a second
front ought to be established, al
though not necessarily by the United
States alone.
Il hope that when we do open up
this second front. we will be well
enough prepared to carry through
with a smashing blow he said.
Other comment:
Senator Glass, Democrat OF Vlr-
ginia: Il assume that the White
House knows exactly what it is
doing and I approve everything the
President has done about foreign
policy"

Utah: II think the agreement is all
