With Impeding Output

'ReprehensibIe Person
Behind Situation,
Gillette Declares

Earlier Story on Page BID
D. the Associated Press.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa charged Government agen-
cies today with blocking develop
ment of certain synthetic rubber
processes and said that either
inexcusable carelessness and lack
OF action or a very reprehensible
person" was behind it.
He made this observation after
the Senate Agriculture Subcommit-
tee of which he is chairman heard
an Official of the Houdry Process
Corp, OF Wilmington, Del, testify
that the Rubber Reserve Co. had re-
Jected a process to make synthetic
rubber from butane--a natural gas
or a by-product of aviation gasoline
on the ground that it was insult
ficiently developed.
The witness, Arthur E. Pew, ir.,
vice president of the Houdry Corp.
and vice president of Sun Oil Co.,
also said Rubber Reserve had re-
quested the Phillips Petroleum Co.
to investigate the process before pro-
ceeding further with a 45,0O0-ton
butadiene unit now under construc-
ton at Berger, Tex
I'VE can't understand" Mr.. Pew
said, why they turned down one
oil company and then asked that
the process be turned over to an
other oil company"
Il think it is little short of crimi-
nal the hampering existing in some
of our Government agencies" Sem
ator Gillette remarked. We're rap
idly reaching the point where for
bearance ceases to be virtue"

Still another Navy squadron dive

headed for Tobruk and scored two
direct hits on a supply ship.
The result of the biggest bonn
bardment in recent months means
the enemy will have to look far west
to Tobruk to get fresh supplies.

use other possible landing places

The officers built fire at the tun-

shots into the 70-foot shaft.
Several hours later the FBI
agent entered the tunnel and found
Yabacavin dead of suffocation.

Roaring out of the sunrise, Amert-

tralians and South Africans.
As the sun spilled over the desert
the big planes swept overhead. Inn

Within two or three minutes their
bombs were kicking up dust among
the enemy positions. Just out Of

. They were a heartenins sight, too.
to the Aussies and South Africans
Who had put In three full days Of
fighting.
The first squadrons returned for
more bombs. We counted them and
found every one there.
Planes Return for More.
Then throughout the rest Of the
morning and into the night wave
after wave of medium bombers
shuttled across the desert, unloading
their bombs and returning for more.
Throughout the day the Austria
lians continued to edge forward to
the west, capturing an important
ridge about six miles west Of Ell
Alamein on the Mediterranean
coast and 200 prisoners.
While the Australians were ad.
vancing along the coast South AZ
ricans southwest of Ell Alanaein were
consolidating positions in Q sort Of

Aussies
Farther south the Axis withdrew
to the west after losing five tanks
and seven 75-millimeter guns to
attacking British armored forces.

From their coastal ridge the Aus

From there on south this new des-

Senator BarkIey Rap,
Placing Restrictions
On 0PA Fund Use
Leader Blocks Vote
On Appropriation in
Members Absence
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The restrictions which the SEN
ate Appropriations Committee
proposed to place on Leon Hen
derson's activities were asSailed
by Democratic Leader Barkley of
Kentucky on the Senate floor to-
day on the ground that they
would thwart the fight against
imitation.
Senator Barkley delivered his
criticism as the appropriation bill
carrying $120,000, 900 for the Once
Of Price Administration came up
for debate.
He opposed any immediate action
on the measure because 43 Senators
were absent and obtained tacit
understanding that while debate
would proceed. no vote would be
taken on the controversial sections
until Wednesday or Thursday.
Meanwhile he asked the Senate
secretary to request the absent Sen
ators to return.
One of the committees amend
ments, to require Senate confirma-
ton Of OPA appointees making
$500 or over, even where these
employees are already on the job,
would create the impression that
Congress is more interested in
patronage" than in winning the war,
Senator Barkley declared.
Another amendment, to prohibit
the OPA from placing ceilings on
any commodity processed from agri-
cultural products which would yield
price below ITO per cent of parity
unless approved by the Secretary Of
Agriculture, also was criticized.
The list OF commodities that
would be placed under this prohibi-
ton is inexhaustible," Senator Bark
ley declared. TT would include
suits, shoes and practically every
thing purchased Why, the author
ity of Mr.. Henderson would be so
limited he would have no authority
whatsoever"
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of New
Mexico suggested that Senators were
in a better position to suggest ad-
ministratprs and know their worth
than some one here in Washing
tom
I'VE are in the middle of a war"
Senator Barkley said. Nobody knows
how long 1t will last, and anybody
pretending to know is dealing in
fantasies and hallucinations. We
are retreating on all fronts.
In addition. we have the battle
on the home front against imitation.
The bill under consideration. an apJ
preparations bill providing supple
mental war funds, including money
for the price control Office, makes an
appropriation for this home front
battle.
1T would be most unfortunate for
this Senate to create the impression
we are more interested in patronage
than IN winning the home front
battle"
