BULLETIN.


Secretary of Commerce
Jesse Jones told the House In

late today that the Recon-

prepared to purchase and re-
claim scrap rubber and that a
Government program, includ-
ing price for scrap, would be
announced in a few days.

By The Associated Press.
The War Production Board has
decided definitely to allocate
200, 100000 gallons of alcohol de-
rived from grain in 1943 to the
production of butadine for syn
thetic rubber. a w. P. B. spokes-
man said today.
The program for conversion of
beverage distiueries calls for the
stOppage of 80 per cent of the Ma
tion's output of beverage whiskies
and other hard liquors by the end
of this year, the spokesman said
Several years supply of whisky is
now on hand.
The industrial alcohol program
currently calls for the use of 1885,
100000 bushels of grain in 1943
Present emphasis is on corn, but a
large increase in the use of wheat
for, alcohol production is being ar
ranged" 1t was announced.
Goal for Next Year.
The goal for alcohol production
for next year is now SAC, 600 600 gal
Ions, with 240 ,000,O 900 gallons to come
from beverage distilleries.
AS the new plan was being an
nounced at w. P. B., H. F. Wilke,
vice president and production man.
ager Of the Joseph B. Seagram Dis
tilleries. told a Senate Agriculture
Subcommittee that conversion of all
stills to the production of high proof
alcohol from grain would permit a
production of $4,000 900 gallons next
year.
In the Senate, Senator Bilbo,
Democrat, of Mississippi asserted
he believed that a Nationwide cam
paign of retaining scrap rubber
would go long way toward solving
what he described as the mythical
rubber shortage.
Ten Million Ton Yield Seen.
Reading from a letter from Elliott
E. Simpson, New York rubber deal
er. Senator Bilbo said he was con-
vinced 10000 900 tons of scrap could
be gathered by campaign such as
Mr.. Simpson proposed.
The w. P. B. will move 20 rectify-
ing stills from Pacific Coast plants
and six from idle distilleries else
where to whisky distilleries in the
main centers of the straight-run
whisky industry, chiefly in Ken
lucky, to convert smaller plants to
production of 1907 proof alcohol.
Virtually the only beverage whisky
plants which will be omitted from
the program will be those located of
main transportation lines. 1t was
estimated that these would account
for only about 10 per cent of the
beverage distilling industry.

House Insists
On $50 a Month
Pay for Soldiers
Compromise Proposal
For $42 Rote Sent
Back to Conference
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The House reiterated this
afternoon it's inSiStence that
service men be paid a minimum
of $50 monthly, and sent back to
a Senate-HouSe conference COM
mittee a compromise proposal
for a $42 minimum.
The action came on a motion by
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
of Mississippi to instruct the House
members of the committee to insist
on the original House stand for $50
for privates and apprentice seamen
and $54 for first-class privates and
second-class seamen.
The Senate had voted for $42 and
$48, respectively, for the two grades,
and the House Military Affairs Com
mittee had recommended these fig
ures also, only to be overruled by
the House membership.
Today's House roll call vote, an
nounced as 1872 to 81, compared
with the 1872 to % margin by which
the House on May 13 amended the
Senate bill to apply the $50 figure
instead of $42
The vote came after an hour Of
debate during which several men,
bers urged that politics" be for
gotten and warned that sending the
bill back to conference would jeopar-
die the chances of any increase
becoming effective before July.
Under the bills provisions, any
increase voted becomes effective on
the first day Of the calendar month
following its enactment. For the
increases to go into effect by June l.
the bill must be agreed to finally by
both branches and approved by the
President not later than Sunday.
Present plans call for the House to
adjourn until Monday after tomor-
rows session.
Awaiting final disposition of this
measure are allotment and allow
ance legislation. The Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committee approved
yesterday a $22 monthly deduction
from the pay OF men In the four
lowest grades Of the armed services
for dependent wives. The Govern
ment would supplement this with
$28 for a wife, plus SIP for the first
child and $40 more for each addi-
tional child.

Cab Association
Orders Strike
Here Monday
Protests New Rates;
Would Leove CITY
Without Tuxis

A strike that threatens to take
every taxicab in Washington off
the streets was called today for
1901 am. Monday by the United
Taxicab Drivers, Inc, and other
cooperating drivers in protest
against the new zones and rates
which will become effective on
that date.
A. N Richardson. president of the
organization, said the strike, which
would be the first of its kind here
in four years, will apply to vir-
tually all of the SAB taxi drivers
now licensed in the District.
The strike order was issued, he
explained, because the changes in
zones provided under the new
schedule will reduce greatly the
earnings of drivers. Chief points
of protest voiced by them are 40
cent rate from downtown Washing
ton to the new War Department
Building in Arlington County and
lack of driver representation in the
Public Utilities Commission Office
and on the Board of Revocation
and Review.
New Zones Cut Earnings.
This reduction in earnings" Mr..
Richardson said of the changes
which will be brought about by the
revised schedule, will be the result
of the establishment of new zone
lines, especially in the second, third
and fourth zones. In many in
stances the new zones and rates will
provide an income of 40 cents for
a large number of trips for which
we now get 60 cents and 30 cents"
Mr.. Richardson said a petition ex-
planning the situation from the taxi
drivers standpoint and letter ask
ing for a board of arbitration had
been sent President Roosevelt, the
Labor Department, Office OF De-
fense Transportation, Public Util-
tiles Commission and the District
Commissioners.
I'VE don't want to strike" he said.
1--WE much prefer that this be
cleared without a strike if possible,
but we must, for our own salvation,
demand these particular considera-
tions."
Explains Grievances.
He pointed out that the changes
mean that go per cent of their best
paying customers will be taken out
of the third or 60-cent zone and
placed in the second or Accent
zone, and that 80 per cent OF this
traffic will be transferred from the
fourth or 80-cent zone to the third.
In the complaint concerning the
new War Department, Mr.. Richard
son explained that the revised sched-
ule will require drivers to haul pas
sengers from any point in the down.
town area to the Arlington County
site, distance that requires
minimum driving time of 20 to Is
minutes, for only 40 cents.
TT will mean" he added. that
we will get 80 cents for hauling a
person as far as Constitution avenue
and then only 10 cents for taking
him from that point to the war
building"
