All Possible STRENGTH

College Heads Told
Winning War Great Task
Ahead, President Says
In Letter to Educators

The time may come soon when all
available manpower will be needed
for the total defense effort, the
American Association of Junior Col
leges, meeting in Baltimore. was
told today by Col John M. Andrews,
OF Federal Selective Service Head
quarters.
At the same time. the Association
Of American Colleges, also meeting
In Baltimore, heard a message from
President Roosevelt that the one
great task before them was ito win
the war"
The associations. called together
by the United States Ofice Of Edu-
cation and the National Committee
on Education and Defense. are in
session. the Associated Press report
ed, to formulte means of fitting the
Nations college education plan to
the wartime emergency, including
sweeping changes in curricula and
a proposal to reduce courses from
four to three years.
In Difficult Positions.
The Presidents letter said in part:
I'VE have one great task before
us. That is to win the war. At
the same time it is clear that 1t
will be futile to win the war unless
during its winning we lay the foun-
dation for the kind of peace and
readjustment that will guarantee
the preservation of those aspects OF
American life for which the war Is
fought.
Colleges and universities are in
the particularly difficult position of
balancing their contributions to
these two ends. I am sure, never
theless. that the leaders of our COL
leges and universities can be de-
pended upon to find the wisest solu-
ton for the difficult problem of how
to make this twofold contribution.
President Roosevelt said he was
anxious that the national crisis
should not destroy or impair the

more than 5000 pounds the record
high for one days collection in

established Tuesday by Garrison
This quantity of paper will net
Powell Junior High $7665 for the
days work.
Two classes, 9-B4 and 9-B6. each
turned in over 5000 pounds and be-
tween them accounted for half Of
the collection
Indication of the fact that in

one incident at Powell yesterday.
Two girls, heavily loaded with paper
and magazines. were having some
difficulty making progress along the
street when they we're noticed by a
taxi driver, who stopped and Of
fered to take them to the school.
When they arrived, they offered to
pay, but the driver replied that he
was glad to give them a lift and help
in bringing waste paper into the

many Of our most vital supplies by
preventing production at home"
Mr.. Arnold said he believed that
yesterdays consent decree would be
"a substantial contribution to the
war program and would do some
thing toward removing this existing
cartel arrangement"
The company said it agreed to
the decree and did not contest the
antitrust charges because its war
work was more important than OBJ
tanning possible court vindication by
trials which would take months.
Mr.. Arnold told the committee
that ''the overall conspiracy" was
effected on November 8. 1929. and
that a new agreement was made in
September 1889.
Agreement Of 1899.
This agreement of 1885," he tes-
tilted. provides in effect that the
parties will, in the future. make re-
adjustments Of this 1899 agreement
in such a way as to carry further,
even through this period OF war,
the basic 1929 conspiracy"
The agreement, Mr.. Arnold said,
was based on a desire of Standard
Oil for a world monopoly in oil
and synthetic gasoline. while the
German trust was interested in
chemicals.
Each" he asserted, wanted to be
free from the competition of the
other and also from independent
competition. They, therefore, agreed
that in the chemical field, which
included synthetic rubber. I. G.
Farben would have control.
ITO implement that agreement
Standard was to turn over any
chemical processes to I. G. F.
either the information or the pat
ents-to any chemical processes
which it discovered not directly con-
nected with its oil production. THIS
included even the right to sen in the
United States.
World Monopoly.
I'm return, l. c. F. agreed to turn
over to Standard Oil any patents
or discoveries which directly con-
cerned oil production, including syn
thetic gasoline. Each company gave
the other world monopoly in SO far
as they were able to convey it, with
the exception that Germany re-
served its own market in synthetic
gasoline while Standard gave Ger
many control of synthetic rubber in
! the United States.
AT the direction of the German
interests Standard refused to license
independent producers in the United

many. Under these agreements, be-
ginning In 1929, Standard acquired
interests In certain I. G. patents and
gave certain rights In inventions
developed by Standard.
"As q result. Standard was able
to bring to this country vital Ger
man discoveries. Among these is the
process for making synthetic tutuol,
the basic constituent Of T. N. T.
Another is the hydrogenation
process by which the American air
force was the first in the world to
obtain l00-octane aviation fuel.
More recently is the production from
oil Of synthetic rubber.
THE Government contended that
these contracts and practices tend
ed to restrain trade in violation of
the Sherman Act. The company
disagrees.
Developments made under these
agreements have avanced the prog
ieSS OF American industry and its
ability to meet the war emergency.
Nevertheless. the company realizes
that to. obtain a vindication by try
ing the issues in the courts would
involve months of time and energy.
Its war work is more important
than court vindication. Nor has the
company any desire to remain in a
position which the Department of
Justice considers in any way ques-
tionable
Therefore. the company has
agreed to the consent decree and
the entry of pleas of nolo con-
tendere.
Under the terms Of the decree,
existing contracts between Standard
and I. G. are abolished and the
company agrees to grant royalty
free licenses during the emergency
under all existing patents covered
by the contracts.

the representative of the I. G.. in

bandage for use as a tourniquet
The kits will contain no indications
according to Meyer Volk of the O.
c. D. Medical Division.
Mr.. Volk's statement was a clari-
fcation Of charges brought yester-
day by o. c. D. Director James M
Lands that wave of "hoarding
OF first aid materials was sweeping
the country and threatened to pro-
duce serious shortage.
Kits Still Advised.
Millions of kits. Mr.. Lands said
were being installed in countless
places where there Is practically
no likelihood that they will ever be
used"
On that score Red Cross officials
said today that they had always
urged people to have first-aid kits
in their homes if they knew how
to use them and they are not going
to withdraw that advice despite
charges of 'hoarding" of f1rst-aid
materials.
Thanks partially to the o. c. D.
requirement that all its wardens and
volunteers in many of its other
services take first aid, the number
studying it throughout the country
has increased to five times as many
as formerly, according to the Red
Cross.
In the District, instructors nave
been working overtime to give the
course to the more than 10000 peo-
pie in the warden service alone.
Row the O. c. D. says that war
casualties are no job for civilians,
that they require the immediate
service of doctor.
Replies to Hoarding Charge.
Any one taking first aid, said Har-
old F. Enlow. American Red Cross
first aid director, gets the impress
sion during the course that he
should have a first aid kit, and that
is all right with the Red Cross. In
fact, Mr.. Enlow said, it would be
foolish" to take the course and not
get kit.
IF there was one kit in every
household or In every 10 house.
holds" said Mr. Enlow, II wouldn't
call that boarding"
The Red Cross has taught that
buying a first aid kit without the
training to use it properly was a
waste of money, but hand in hand
with that warning has gone the
advice that everybody should take
instruction so they would be pre-
pared for emergencies.
IF we believed every home should
have first-aid materials in normal
times" said Mr.. Enlow, I'VE Ger
tainly aren't going to withdraw 1t
now when times are abnormal"
The Red Cross sells its own kits
only to its instructors. and of the
100000 Of them throughout the
country only about 10000 have Of
ficial Red Cross kits.
Red Cross officials stated they
did not believe their activities had
brought about the alleged shortage.
