Final Appeal
Made for
Scrap Rubber

District salvage officials today Is
sued a fir1af appealfor contributions
to the rubber collection drive sched-
uled to end at midnight tomorrow.
Announcing that more than 1,600,-
900 pounds had been accumulated
in Washington through yesterday,
Horace Walker, Salvage Committee
secretary, said:
1--WE can 60 over the 1000, ,0O0-
pound mark Every pound is vital
to the war effort"
The value of organization in COL
lecting rubber was demonstrated by
District Red Cross announcement
of the receipt of $103-the total
income of small army" of chill
dren which collected and sold 103
pounds of rubber.
The army" is headed by Gen
Ann Holland, 1885 Foxhall road
NV, and Gen" Ellen Bennett, 445C
Volta place NV. both IL years old
They have an enlistment of l3-
four sergeants, eight corporals and
private-and a cocker spaniel
mascot in reserve. Three-year-olo
Richard McInerney is the youngest
recruit.
Government employees today made
the supreme" sacrifice to the rub
ber drive as crews went through
buildings taking up hundreds of
rubber seat pads.
Showing Good" Ickes Says.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
said at his press conference today
that the Nation wide drive had not
made a relatively poor" showing
as implied by a questioner but had
made good showing.
He said experts on his staff had
estimated the campaign would pro-
duce 100000 tons, whereas the latest
official report recorded over 1874 ,00O
tons
Other Government departments
had put the figure at from 1000
to 100000 before the drive began.

Glenn Dale Conditions
Have Been Corrected,
Cama|ier Reports
Finds Food and Service
At Hospital Much Better
On Ununnounced Visit

Conditions at Glenn Dale Tuber-
culosis Sanatoria, relating to food
and the attitude of attendants,
which patients complained of sew
eral weeks ago, have been corrected
r. F. Camalier, counsel for the
Senate District Committee, reported
today.
Mr.. Camalier said he made an un-
announced visit to the hospital yes
terday and inspected the entire in
stitution. He said he found the
preparation of the food and its serv-
ice, which he and Commissioner Ma
son had found poor on visit to
the hospital June 26, had been
greatly improved. The attitude of
the nursing staff and attendants
also was found very good. ... -
Mr.. Camalier said he talked with
the committee representing the pa
tients. which made the original
complaints, and that they agreed
much had been done to improve
conditions. They also said, Mr..
Camalier reported, that they had
confidence in DR.. Daniel Finucane,
head of the institution.
DR.. Finucane, Mr.. Camalier said,
told him he had made a number of
regulations which helped the situa-
ton materially. One of these was
the installation of suggestion
boxes" placed where patients could
leave written suggestions for i'm
provements. Ward physicians were
instructed to give particular atten-
ton to the diet kitchens and prep
aration of food. An officer of the
day is named to supervise prepara-
ton and service of food.
One of the original complaints
was that great deal of the china
and glass used at the hospital was
Clipped. Mr.. Camalier said the
District purchasing officer had been
trying to get new china and glass
for the hospital for the last six
months and now had succeeded in
getting part of the supply.

Ey GILBERT STEWART, Jr.

An investigation by The Star to
determine why Eastern States, and
Washington in particular, are at
the bottom of the list of States in
per capita contributions to the scrap
rubber collection drive today dis
closed that economic and trade fac
tors furnish sound explanation.
Supporting statistics were almost
not to be found, but the opinion of
rubber trade experts, Government
officials and individuals directing
the campaign seemed to point to
this large single factor as outstand-
ing among many:
The East, where by far the largest
amount of reclaimed rubber has
been made in the past, has been
combed for years of the highest
grades of scrap-automobil tires
and inner tubes.
A tabulation of rubber collections
by regions, made by the Petroleum
Industry War Council, which is su-
pervising the campaign through
thousands of filling stations, showed
that the Eastern seaboard had per
capita contribution through July 8
of 81 pounds. In contrast, the Mid
west had 609; the Southwest, 5.36;
the Rocky Mountain States, 9.75,
and the Pacific Coast, 1855.
No Rural Population Here.
The District of Columbia on that
date had accumulated 1850 900
pounds, or 2.O5 pounds per individ-
ual, the computation being made on
the basis of the 1910 census Of pop
ulation which gave Washington
about 663, 900 persons.
The Star first undertook to de-
termine if there was any factor pc
culiar to the District which would
bring its rate of contribution down
below that of the States. 1t found
that there was-the fact that Wash
ington has no rural population.
Experts and officials were unan-
imous in their opinion that rubber
accumula tions per individual would
tend to be larger, probably consid-
erably larger, on farms and in small
towns where ample space permits
storage, and transportation prob
lens prevent its sale to scrap dealers.
On the other hand, persons who
live in apartments and small homes
have little room to save old tires
and tubes-the commodities which
make up by far the largest pro-
portion of scrap rubber. In ad-
dition, more miscellaneous rubber
from private dwellings would be
thrown into incinerators and burned
No Large Industries.
Another point of difference is the
fact that Washington has no large
industries. This source in the past
have been a considerable reservoir
for such materials as rubber con-
veyor belts, machine mountings and
the like.
A factor tending to point in the
other direction-toward higher con-
tributions in Washington-would be
its relatively high per capita in
come. This could be presumed to
mean more general buying per in
dividual, and thus greater buying
of rubber products. But any esti-
mate on this basis would be most
uncertain, it was felt.
Some quarters expressed the opin-
ion that Washington has a higher
percentage of its population living
in apartments with limited storage
space. Exact figures on the question

Housewives Are Told
How 10 Save Kitchen
Fats for Munitions
Should Be Stored in Can
In Refrigerator Pending
Sale to Meat Dealer

The war reached into the kitchen
today to make every housewife a
part of Americas great munitions
industry.
The District Salvage Committee
an agent of the War Production
Board, announced its program for
saving cooking greases, fats and oils
to supply glycerine for explosives
From now on, the committee said
a wide -mouthed can for holding the
waste drippings should be in every
kitchen.
1t should be spotlessly clean and
should have a cover. probably a
coffee can or one which once held
vegetable shortening. s
Should Be Kept In Refrigerator.
Here are the things to put In it:
Broiler drippings from steaks,
chops and bacon.
Pan drippings from roast ham,
beef, lamb and poultry.
Deep fats-lard or vegetable short
ening-from fried potatoes, fish,
doughnuts and the like.
And here is what you do with it.
Strain the greases into a 5can,
cover it and place IN a refrigerator
until the can is FULL When full
and only when full-take it to your
meat dealer. He will weigh. it and
pay you 3 cents a pound for It. The
renderer will buy it from the meat
market and see that it gets to the
explosive manufacturer.
Here are some don't is:
Don't use paper or glass con-
| tainer.
Don't allow the household fats to
accumulate. Take them in regu-
larly.
Don't bring them in on busy week
ends. Any other time is fine.
Vital to War Program.
Here is the reason why this pro-
gram is vital-not just important:
Fats and oils are needed to pro-
duce glycerin, which is used for
explosives, signal rockets, recoil
mechanisms, steering gears, hy-
draulic equipment, pumps and gun
powder, the committee said. jap
anese conquests in the Pacific have
cut off normal supplies of oils from
the Far East Household fats can
provide the substitutes needed
Its a woman's job" said Horace
Walker, executive secretary of the
Salvage Committee To-day the
home front army must equal the
sacrifice, the effort and the effec-
tiveness of our front-line armies"

House Approves
Amended D. +.
B|ackout Bill
Quick Senate Action
Promised Compromise
Emergency Measure

The House today unanimously
passed the amended blackout bill
which gives the District Commits
sioners extraordinary powers dur
ing the duration of the war for pro-
lection of life and property in the
Capital. 4
The bill now goes to the Senate
for concurrent action and earliest
possible consideration has been
promised by Senate leaders.
The bill throws the cloak of Gov
ernment protection over volunteer
civilian defense workers and pro-
vides medical and hospital care.
AS it passed the House all disagree
ments had been reconciled and an
r1ouncement to that effect was made
both by Chairman Randolph of the
District Committee and Represent
ative Dirksen of Illinois, ranking
Republican member.
In it's final form the bill authorizes
the Commissioners to take over
temporarily any property, real or
personal, which is necessary for the
protection of the citizens, but only
for the duration of the war and with
just compensation and recourse to
the courts reserved. The bill covers
daytime protection for the defense
workers in the Capital as well as
during night blackouts.
The bill increases from 81 100000
to $2,000,0D0 the amount the Com
missioners may borrow for civilian
protection. Approximately one-half
of this amount is to be expended for
protection of the District water
supply.
An amendment was included at the
request of Secretary of War Stimson
so that the authority to the Commits
sioners would in no way conflict with
the authority of the War or Navy
in an emergency.
The bill carries the approval of the
Attorney General the President, the
War and Navy Departments, the
Budget Bureau, the Treasury De-
partment and the Bar Association.

eomposure during cross-examina-
ton. It came when Mr.. Fihelly
submitted a drawing found in the
youths Baltimore apartment where
he was arrested the following month.
''Is this not a drawing of a silencer
for a revolver?" the Government
attorney asked. Eklund paled and
answered that it was drawn in con-
nection with his work at the Glenn
Martin plane factory where he had
been employed since the last of Oc-
tober.
On further questioning, Eklund
admitted he had a friend in Wash
ington order him a Colt revolver
to be used for special purposes"
