Announcement OF the War
Production Boards program to
obtain ATS million gallons OF
industrial alcohol from grain,
including 200 million gallons
for the manufacture Of buto-
diene, ingredient Of synthetic
rubber, has spurred on efforts
OF the Senate Subcommittee
on Agriculture to win for the
agricultural chemistry indus
try q more important place IN
war production. When the new
WPB alcohol schedule was first
announced, it was thought the
Investigation being conducted
under the choirmonship Of
Senator Guy M. Gillette Of
Iowa might be killed. But the
sop thrown the committee has
made this group Of tough farm
bloc senators, including Nc
Mary, Wheeler, Norris, Smith
ond Thomas Of Oklahoma, oil
the more determined to find
outlets for surplus farm crops.
Behind the scenes, this is q
bottle Of giants. These seno-
tors, and other congressman
as we'll, ore beginning to get
mad. AS q preliminary to one
Of the subcommittee recent
hearings, they voiced their ire
over what they felt was q rum
around being given them by
WPB. Their constituents have
difficulty in getting contracts
or attention. The industrial
areas ore getting rich off war
production, while the formers
cant. And SO on.
This should be the chance
for agricultural chemistry TO
win q permanent place in the
industrial scheme, TO work off
these huge crop SURPRISES, to
get owoy from doing out oil
these millions Of dollars for
farm subsidies and form bene-
fits. Agricultural chemistry
should compete equally with
the mineral chemicals indust-
ries like petroleum products
and cool y-Products.

If you have difficulty in un-

Der toIk, you're normal. Over
simplifying, the process goes
something like this:
Bosic material is ethyl alcohol
which can be made from starch
grains or sugar, or syntheti-
coIIy from ethyIene eos,
petroleum byproduct. In the
case OF sugar. yeast is added
to dilute solutions, q terment
sets up, and the resulting mash
is distilled TO produce alcohol.
" The alcohol S converted
into butodiene, which is q Cos
that can also be obtoined from
petroleum. " Butodiene has
tn eProperty Of polynerizotion,
which means that one moIecule
can be built on another until
you form q solid. ." When
styrene, q substance which can
be obtained either from cool

SET SAVERS
The War Production Board has
handed down a decree that stu
dos may not spend more than
$4,000 on new materials for set
construction in each picture.
This is a drastic curtailment,
and many scenes which pre-
ViOusly would have shown
against costly and spacious
backgrounds have been crowded
into mere corners of rooms; and
the hero is likely to propose in a
taxi instead Of on the balcony
of a grand ballroom.
This economic squeeze may or
may not be responsible for two

Thus far we have found only one

is Elliot {. Simpson, on independent

It may be that we are all out Of

is correct, then our national stock Of

transportation Of war workers and war

driving to the theoter, to stores, to the
beach, to the golf links and the tennis

the necessity for choosing between two

A hord-boIed dictatorship would

Such O dictatorship would take the

DOWN on THE FARM

The farm bloc senators
would like, ideally, to see q
lot Of smaller alcohol distiI-
Ieries right in the farm belt.
The alcohol in turn would be
made into butodiene, which
would be made into synthetic
rubber.
The WPB argument is that
this would take too much crit
icol material, 1900 tons Of
steel and 10 tons Of copper, for
instance, to make O still that
would turn out Is millions
gallons Of alcohol O year. So
the WPB program calls for the
use Of existing industrial al
cohol plants, plus production
from whisky distiIIeries con-
verted to making alcohol. This
plan will use l36 million
bushels Of eroin-corn ond
rye, mostly, but some wheat.
Thot's O szeobIe program, but
still not enough to sotlsfy the
farm bloc.
What they complain about
particularly is the sIowness
with which the synthetic rub
Der program is getting under
way. The committee is collect
evidence on the progress Of
some Of these plants. Typi-
col is the case Of the She'll
Union Oil Company, which on
Feb. e got q letter Of intent
from the governments Rubber
Reserve Company TO build two
plants to produce $4,000 tons
Of butodlene O year. This was
rescinded by Rubber Reserve
on March II and provision
mode for one pIont Of Is 900
tons capacity. To dote, no con-
struction hos been started, no
materials arranged for, no
priorities scheduled, and the
company estimates that it will
be performing miracles if the
plant is built in from IA TO 10
months. Other examples show
similar slow motion.
One practical difficulty, Of
course, is that oil this synthetic
rubber proerom is still largely
in the laboratory stoge.

from petroleum products is
cheaper than that made from
grain alcohol. To be CONNER

Advocates Of rubber from
grain point out that this pro-
cess is procticol in Germany,

there today TO produce syn
thetic rubber. Perhaps this is
