The W aShinqt0n Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON = Rexford Guy Tugwell always had an unhappy faculty for putting his well-polished boots in the wrong place when he was a member of the original Roosevelt brain trust" Now as Governor of Puerto Rico he is do- ing the same thing.
 Tugwell is busily engaged in purg- ing all U. s. officials in Puerto Rico who do not agree with him. And as a part of this purge he has recently written letter to the Navy Department suggesting that Comdr. Tom Henning, TugwelPs naval aide and former congressman from St. Louis, be transferred to Pearl Harbor, without being per- mitted to come to the United States enroute.
 What Tugwell fears is that Comdr. Henning may fall within the White House spotlight and become gover-
 
 nor of Puerto Rico himself.
 Comdr. Henning served several years as one of the most fortnight members of Congress, resigned to become prosecuting attorney oI St. Louis and now is in the Navy. Last year he was sent to Puerto Rico as Tugwells aide. While visiting the United States about a month ago, Comdr. Henning was inter- viewed by ex-Senator Harry Hawes of Missouri and Walter Jones, both interested in sugar.
 HENNING SPURNS POLITICS
 After sounding out Henning on his views, Jones said: q under stand Tugwell is not getting along very well in Puerto Rico and I'd like to propose your name for gov ernor."
 To this Henning replied: "Abso- lutely mo-"
 Then would you give us permis- sion to work for you behind the scenes, without your knowing about it?" Jones asked.
 T would not" replied Henning emphatically.
 When Comdr. Henning got back to Puerto Rico he told the incident

Radio Forum Speaker
Senator Truman to Discuss Situation
Regarding Rubber and Synthetics

The rubber problem will be the
topic discussed by Senator Truman,
Democrat, of Missouri in the Ma
tional Radio Forum at 9 pm. to-
morrow. The National Radio Forum
is arranged by The Star and broad
cast over the Bluet Network through
Station WMAL.
Senator Truman, chairman OF the
special Senate Defense Investigat-
ing Committee, has made an ex-
haustive study of the national rub
ber situation. including rubber
stocks, proposals for manufacture OF
synthetic rubber and reclamation
of rubber. He will present the flno-
ings as they have been developed.
The United States vitality needs an
adequate supply of rubber, both for
the successful prosecution of the
war and for the use of civilians in
their everyday life. Transportation
in this country has become in large
part a question of rubber wheels.
If this is not to bog down the coun-
try must have new tires, made OF
rubber or rubber substitutes. Sen
ator Truman and his committee are
seeking the answer.

Development of real" system

fore Congress shortly, judging from
indications given yesterday at the

Alternatives for expediting mass

there is reason to believe these
