Chinese Support
Indian Congress
Demand
Chungkine Legislative
Chief Sympothizes
With Campaign
BY the Associa ted Press.

a
CHUNGKING, Aug. II. The
Chinese, who stand to lose from
strife in India, expressed their
support today for the Indian Ma
tionalists in editorials regretting
the arrests of their leaders and
appealing to the British to seek
a peaceful settlement.
The newspaper attitude reflected
the opinion of Dr. Sun Fo president
of the legislative Yuan. who de-
clared last night that Chinese
sympathy is entirely with the In
dians" in their struggle for inde-
pendence.
A government spokesman ex-
pressed China's readiness to do any
thing in her power to bring set
tlement in India lest the situation
hamper the Allied war effort and
especially the movement of supplies
to China.
The spokesman refused to indi-
cate what steps Chungking had in
mind. Asked whether sympathy
shown the Indian nationaists by the
Chinese press might impair Chinese
British relations, he said: I'VE hope
our relations won't be affected in
the least"
Link in Common War.
Some editorials argued that
India's demand for freedom was
in line with the Atlantic Charter
concerning the rights OF all peoples
to choose their own forms of gov
ernment.
The British Indian problem
forms link in the common war, y
said the newspaper Ta Kung Pao.
once this link falls out 1t will
affect the united front as a whole. -
India is vital bridge between
China and her sources OF supply
abroad.
China is not only sympathtic
toward India but, because of mill
tary reasons, is concerned over
what happens in India" the news
paper added.
Events in India might prompt
Japan to change her plan Of at
tacking Siberia and. instead, attack
India. We wish fervently to appeal
to the British government to control
it's emotions and show political wis
dom by looking for a genuine So
luton >"
The official Central Daily News
also appealing for British "forbear-
ance," declared the arrest of Mo-
handas K. Gandhi and his aides
docs not solve the India problem
which, if permitted to pursue its
own course of development, will not
only affect the war in the Pacific
but also the war as whole"
The desire for independence "is
the desire of the whole Indian ma
ton, therefore the arrest of hand
! full of Congress leaders and the use
I of force worsens rather than inn
proves the situation" said the China
! Times.
Concern of All Allies.
A Chinese spokesman, asked
whether China regarded the release
of GanGhi as prerequisite to g
1 British-Indian settlement. said The
Chinese government has no idea as
to the procedure for reaching a set
tlement"
+ Any suggestions now" he added
might not be helpful"
He said that although legally the
/ Indian problem was a domestic Brit
ish problem it was the moral con-
Germ of all of the United Nations
and bore directly on the future
prospects of better world order.
The spokesman said it might prove
helpful to have Pacific Charter
in which specific assurances were
given.

ARMY SUMMONS
RANGE COWBOYS;
GALS TAKE OVER
ROUNDUP DAYS ACQUIRE FENIN-
me TOUCH AS MALE RIDERS
ANSWER MILITARY CALL

There's a soprano accent this sum-
mer in that old western roundup re-
frain: "Git along little dOgie; git
along" as ladies, and dudes, too, take
up the slack Of a cowboy shortage
and ride herd. In song and story
the courage and devotion Of the adj
venture-IOving COW waddie always
have been sung.
SO it's not surprising that so many
of them have gone where the fighting
is thickest, leaving their herds behind.
In addition selective service boards
like the bronzed huskiness and the
lean, steely muscles and nerves Of
cowpokes. They make good soldiers and
sailors.
So each month the cowboy shortage
has become more acute. Western
ranchers asked selective service Off
Gals what they could expect when the
roundup season reached its height and
we're informed:
A few key ranch men may be de-
ferred until late in the fall but cow
boys will continue to be drafted. At
the height of the harvest $4,000, 600
farm and ranch workers will be need
ed. The cowmen will have to shift
for themselves in the labor market
along with the farmers who are in
need of farm hands.
The Colorado war manpower COM
mittee told this states ranchers: Don't
be so choosy. The rancher must be
prepared to take city youths and wom-
en- and white-collar workers. He must
relax frivolous hiring rules based on
prejudice"
Cowboys were fabbergasted because
they long had considered their work as
strictly for the two-gln, herman type.
Said DR.. B. F. Davis, secretary Of the
Colorado Etockgrowers' and Feeders
association (whose legs, despite his
fancy title, have wrapped themselves
around so many horses they would
In shape, for the parenthe-
ses around this sentence:
Industrial plants can use women
workers but punching COWS Is hardly
lady's work. Farmers can use city
youths during the summer to help har-
vest crops but you can't train city
youth In a short time to sit on horse
all day long, cut out cattle and shoe
his horse If the need arises.
women are all right but they're
not cowpokes. They might do a few
Of the trail-riding chores but for
roundup duties they're out"
Ranch women responded quickly to
Or. Davis challenge. At the Lazy Wv
ranch near Nederland, one Of the larg-
est In northern Colorado, they went
to their boss, L. w. Van Vleet.

SYNTHETIC TIRE
TO BE AS GOOD
AS TRUE RUBBER
AUTHORITIES SEE BOTTLENECK
CLEARING BUT EMPHASIZE
II WILL TAKE TIME

When synthetic rubber finally gets
into the tires Of the average motor
list, those tires 20 all practical pur-
poses win be Just about as good as
any made wholly Of natural rubber.
That's the conviction Of experts Of
the rubber industry, who have the
responsibility OF developing the syn
thetic program to the point where
production viii approximate 100000
tons year.
But while these rubber authorities
see the way clearing they emphasize
1t win require time.
Since military and essential civilian
needs will increase as present tires
wear out, even an S00.OO0-ton syn
thetic rubber production by 1944-sup-
plemented by an intensified scrap rub
Der roundup to sustain the production
Of reclaimed rubber-does not assure
the average motorist of anything like
an unrestricted supply Of passenger
car tires.
Rubber experts say that from II
pounds of scrap rubber they can re-
claim about one pound of the urgent
ly needed substance and that with
existing facilities some $4,000 tons of
reclaim can be made annually-n a
steady flow of scrap rubber can be set
up.
Yet to be determined Is the market
ing cost Of the tires.
One company made up and distrib-
uted for test purposes a couple of years
ago tires in which about so percent
of synthetic was used. Another COM
pany produced and successfully tested
passenger car tires in which synthetic
replaced all the natural rubber or
dinarily used except for about one
ounce in insulation around the bead
wire.
Cost OF the synthetic used in these
tires ranged up to nearly so cents a
pound Industry leaders believe, how
ever, that on larger scale output syn
thetic rubber could be produced for as
low as 25 cents a pound. Recent fig
ures published state butyl rubber can
be made at a cost of IL cents a pound.
It is pointed out that in normal times
rubber grown in the orient could be
sold commercially in New York at
price of 10 to - cents pound.

Lambs Bring High
Price at Butte Yards

Thirteen carloads of range lambs,
consisting of about 260 lambs to each
carload were sold at the Butte stock
yards recently at the exceptional price
of SLABS per 100 pounds per carload.
The sale is one of the most remark
able ever held at the yards and the
price is only Is cents per 100 pounds
below that of the st. Paul market. The
cost to transport the sheep from Butte
to st. Paul is IS cents per 100 pounds,
it was stated.
The sheep were the property Of John

Toned perspiration.
"But I had lost some cowboys to the
army and so I gave the women a
chance. They did good job for me.
1t added sort of q whimsical note to
the branding pictures to see the women
roping and wrestling steers and the
cowboys were skittish at first with
women around them, but all in all it
was q successful day"
In addition to using women, ranch
ers also have worked out plan for
pooling equipment and cowboys. as
they did in days Of the open range,
and are holding cooperative roIndups.
This conserves cowboys and speeds the
work.
L. B. Merchant, owner Of the famous

TO be reckoned with 10 the postwar

construction Of large scale synthetic

ports that widespread destruction Of

June War Bond Sales
Set New Records al

1908 Units With
VoIue Of $944,775
Sold in Month

Sales of war savings bonds at
the City Post Office and branches
in June took another sharp upturn,
establishing two new records, the
largest number of bonds ever sold
in one month since the drive started
and the largest total value for any
month, it was learned from postal
officials last night.
During June 29,093 War bonds were
sold, against 28,193 in May, the
previous record, an increase of 900
bonds. In June a year ago only
$3.50 bonds were distributed through
the Post ONCE.
June War bond sales in value
totaled $944,775, the new monthly
peak comparing with 1891 ,275 in
May, which was the high mark
up to that time. The total is re-
ported at the selling price and not
at maturity. In June q year ago,
the second month Of the campaign,
Post once sales amounted to- $3.50
106.25, or 1855 ,668.75 less than the
mark recorded in June this year.
War stamp sales in June totaled
1894 ,202 .35, not quite up to the total
for May of 1854, 5000. In June
8 year ago War stamp sales
amounted to only $S3,736.25. Both
bond and stamp sales include only
those made through postal channels
and are separate from those Of
banks, building and loan associa-
tions and other financial insti-
tutions.
Postmaster Vincent G. Burke and
his associates had set 100000 as
their June bond sales goal but said
they were highly pleased with the
notable results.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board has
moved to eliminate another bottle
neck in the manufacture OF machine
tools by prohibiting production Of
tools calling for special electrical
specifications after July IS.
The special specifications include
standard types Of electric con-
trolls and motors not ordinarily used
by machine tool makers. The order
Is expected to speed production by
simplifying manufacturing processes.
In the past, WPB said, machine
tool buyers have made it . practice
to develop their own specifications
with the result that toolmakers
were forced to spend much time and
