Between the Lines

The Baruch Committees rubber report was an unusually frank, hard-hitting doc ument. It told a great many unpleasant truths in language which was easy to understand. The more one reads the published digest however, the more dis turbing appear some of the implications between the lines.
 For example, The committee reported that four of the large rubber companies each had designed its own polymerlza- tion equipment. That is the plant Tn which butadiene and Styrene are com bined to make rubber. But the Rubber Reserve Company ordered that all use a standardized type, representing a com promise which "may or may not 1ncor- porate the best ideas of each; on this point there are grave reasons for doubt"
 Well, anyway, we have SCanoarolzeo process. Or have we?
 The first of these plants was supposed to begin producing rubber in November. But, reading between the Baruch nneS, we learn that none of the standardized compromise polymerization plants has been built yet.
 So there is question whether the first rubber will become available under the new program even at the late date ol November. Elsewhere in the report the committee refers to possible delay of as much as four months and say: "If this occurs, the production of Buna-S in l94S will fail below 100000 tons (the schedule calls for 100000 and our supplies of rub Der will be inadequate for military needs"
 On July 8, says the report, the Rubber Reserve Company obtained an agreement by which four large rubber companies would make available to everybody In the new industry, technical information on ,ompounding methods. But then It took me War Production Board "six weeks or eneated effort to get this vital ln- ormation released by the Rubber Re' serve.D Who held up this vital program ---the four companies, in spite of tnelr

Press Comment
LIGHT MAINE VOTE
 (New York Sun)

The total vote in Maine was only a little more than half of the vote cast by Maine in the presidential election in 1940 and only about two- thirds of the vota cast in the State election two years ago. There were no big issues in the Maine election this year and few real contests, but tn vote provides political leaders in all States with strong hint that special efforts will be necessary this year to get out the vote. This is an of year only in the narrowest sense, for the choice of one-third of the Senate, all of the House of Repre- sentatives and many Governors and other Staee officers is no mean po- htical job. It calls for as fine an exercise of discrimination and judg- ment as any other election. Many Americans, pre-occupied with the war, may be tempted to neglect their duty to register and vote. This temptation should be avoided, for one of the stakes for which we fight is the freedom of franchise. Every organization and every individual working to get out the vote this year will play useful role.

she herself later suffered martyr dom. But the inspiring thing to men and women of every age is that the faith of this undaunted French girl was based not on what men can do to protect the right, but on what God Is eternally doing to bring about such triumph. God and one thousand like Joan of Arc, or ten like Joan of Arc, would stop the mlghtiest host of men. one righteous man has often turned the tide of history Into new chan. nels. It has been said that God and one man always make a mas iority.

Some days ago we commented on the fact that a 35-mile speed limit just i'm posed in Westchester County, N. F. would undoubtedly spread to Connectl- cut Well, Governor Robert A. Hurley has just pressed for such a limit through out the entire state, not just along our parkways. That was the oddity in the earlier ban that attracted our attention. If there is to be 35-m1le limit on any highways, certainly it should not just be limited to parkways. It should apply to all. And Connecticut's example in de- signating statewide, 35-nile limit, TOT the duration, of course, is pretty sure to be copied all over the nation As aIr1otdr mat of the Office of Defense Transportation, has intimated that President Franklin D. Roosevelt is readying proclamation along these very lines: The entire 1s coun, trv will be placed under 35-mile speed limit the obvious purpose, naturally, be- ing to conserve tires and gasoline. And what a saving of life this will mean, too'

Yes or No?

A suspicion is beginning to grow In the minds of many voters in Connecticut that the recent proposal that all com munitieS change their voting hours this year so that no defense worker will be denied an opportunity to get to the polls is not caused by fear that these voters will be denied the privilege, but that 1t will give longer time in which political organizations can work to get out the vote that will be favorable to their cand1- dates. At least the Hartford Times ex- pressed itself in this fashion editorially the other day and we're not so sure but what The Times hasn't got something.
 The idea is simply that the customary voting hours of 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. aren't long enough to accommodate the thou sands of defense industry workers in the large cities. Many communities have already extended the voting hours to g D. m.; others are expected to follow thlS example. Waterbury will probably take up the matter very shortly. If it does, we hope that the city fathers do little back-tracking before committing them- selves to the extended period. What vot- ing experience we can fall back on this year certainly shows that no matter how long the voting period may be the GUS tomary enthusiasm and interest wont be shown.
 We doubt very much if a 15-hour vot- ing period in Waterbury will result in larger vote being cast here than could be obtained in twelve hours. Sure, there Will be people who will vote after p. m. ana there will be the last minute rush to peat the 9 D. m closing hour. But that would happen no matter what time the polls closed. The fact remains that in twelve hours there shouldn't be a single local voter deprived of the chance to vote II he or she so desires. Local working shifts too are such that no one is denied the chance to get to his or her voting district within the legal time limit As practical measure the expanded voting period certainly did not turn out here as expected. Why should it any place else!
