Defeats St. Cecilia's. All
Girl Team; Wildly De-
baters Are Judges

In one of the most spirited de-
bates yet conducted in the K of c.
C. Y. o. series in this city, the st
Lucy's team defeated st. Cecilia s
last night at the Columbus Club
st. Lucy's upheld the negative side
of the question Resolved: That
the United States Air Force Should
Be Under Separate Command.
The winning teams line of argu-
ment w2s that the expense and
confusion attendant on any such
change in cur armed forces in the
midst of war would not over
come the value Of placing the air
maintained that confusion would
be less were the air force to be
maintained separately and cited
Pearl Harbor as a good example of
this.
Appearing for the winners were
Charles Rinaldi, Leo Corard, Ann
Gallo and Alex Mole, the latter Of
fering the reouttal. On the losers
side were the Misses Helen Schaus-
ter, Barbara Hummel, Mary Sic
bert, and Dorothy Siebert, the lat
ter presenting the rebuttal.
The judges were the officers Of
the Wildly High School Debating
team: Dorothy Sacharoff, presi-
dent; Walter Carroll, first vice
president; and Marion Collins, sec
ond vice. president.
Following presentation of their
decision the three judges challenged
the st. Lucy team to debate in
the near future.

LABOR CABINET
MEETS PRESIDENT
For First Time New Gre
ated Board of A. F. L.
c. |. @. Is to Assemble

Washington, Feb 6-CUP)-
President Roosevelt meets for the
first time to-day with his newly
ated AFL-CIC war labor cabinet
Officials OF both groups assumed
Mr.. Roosevelt would outline his
plans for the six-man "little cab
met" 1t was created two weeks age
at his suggestion.
Probably it's first major task will
be a survey of manpower available
fer war production, particularly OF
skilled workers, most of whom are
union men.
Government labor officials have
estimated that 100000 new work.
ers will be needed in war produc-
ton this year. They estimated that
about 100000 can be obtained from
civilian industries. Where to find
the other 100000 and how to train
them for specialized war work, is
expected TO be one of the major
problems of the siX-man advisory
committee will be asked to solve.
President William Green heads
the American Federation of Labor
representatives. Other members are
George Meany, AFL secretary treas
urer, and Daniel Tobin, president of
the AFL International Union of
Transfers, Chauffeurs, Stablemen
and Helpers.
The Congress Of Industrial Organ
ization representatives are Philip
Murray, president; r. j. Thomas,
president of the CLOS United Auto
mobile Workers, and julius Emspak
secretary treasurer of the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers.
Mr.. Roosevelt's letter to Green
and Murray suggesting creation OF
the council did not mention labor
peace or jurisdiction disputes. Pure
ly intra-union matters are not ex-
pected to be discussed at White
House meetings.
Although its prin cipal purpose will
not be the maintenance of labor
peace, the council is expected to re-
suit in greater harmony and coop
Grafton between the two organiza
tons. John L. Lewis, president OF
the United Mine Workers, the CLIO
most powerful group, is the only
question mark.

Citing British experience, the
magazine explains that because of
its geographic position and the load
carrying limitations of even the
largest enemy aircraft, the U. S.
need prepare only against sporadic
raids-not incessant heavy bombing
of the European variety"
The purpose of such sporadic
raids" the Architectural Forum
poitns out, would be principally to
lower civilian morale, to plague U.
S. war efforts with spreading case
Of civilian filters, to incite civilian
demands for shift of military and
naval protection from strategic out
pests TO continental shores, to touch
off waves of bomb shelter construc-
ton and strictly defense industrial
production which would divert labor
and materials from more important
channels.
For instance, if the 26,500 900
persons living only in cities of So
900 or more population within 300
miles of the Atlantic, Caribbean and
Pacific were to demand bomb pro-
lection in 24-person shelters, the U.
S would be hard-pressed to satisfy
them. Since each shelter would cost
close TO 81 800 and require 224 man
hours of labor during construction
the schiller program for these coast
al inhabitants alone would involve
about $2,o0O,ooO 600 and 246,OOO,000
man hours of work.
"Since not more than half Of all
the 574,O00 A. F. of L. building
trades workers are located in these
coastal areas, such shelter con-
struction program could not be COM
pleted in less than 100 days even if

SAYS SYNTHETIC
RUBBER IS BETTER

Urbana. III. (UP)-Prof. G. L.
Clark, noted University of Illinois
chemist. whose research efforts con-
tributed to commercial development
OF synthetic rubber, predicts that
substitutes in America soon will be
better than natural rubber.
Starting his research in 1925
Clark set up a laboratory TO X-ray
rubbg and study the molecules OF
which it is composed.
He found that when rubber is
stretched, some of the long, twisted
molecules line up into crystals, and
that this partial crystallization,
which ends when the stretch is re-
leased, is a property that every sub
stituce or synthetic rubber must
have.
Worked From Molecule Up
He also found that the manner in
which ordinary rubber stretches is
different from that in which it re-
turns to its previous shape. Plot
ting the elongation against the eX-
tent OF crystallization he showed the
stretching process as a smooth up
swing curve, while the "unstretch-
ing curve has series of bumps
like rocky hillside.
In 1885, he learned that a mole
cule of rubber weighs 100000 times
as much as molecule of hydrogen
although all previous estimates
placed the weight at only $4,000
times. No molecules this large had
ever been made by chemists.
After his finding. they set out tc
make molecules of molecular weight
up to 100000, and when this was
done, useful synthetic rubber be-
came feasible.
