Houdry Synthetic PIon
B, tfe Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
A representative of the Rubber
Reserve Co., testifying today be-
fore a special House committee,
asserted the Government agency
had mot stymied investigation of
any process" for the manufac-
ture of synthetic rubber.
Stanley T. Grassland. vice presi-
cent of Rubber Reserve, said his
agency still was much interested
in the Houdry process. He denied
that investigation of it had been
stymied after Representative Riley,
Republican, of New jersey. COM
mittee vice chairman, said:
You must admit your interest
comes six weeks after you have
stymied proper investigation of the
process"
Representative Fitzgerald, Demo-
crat, of Connecticut, chairman of
the committee studying the rubber
heating oil and gasoline problem
in the gasoline-rationed Atlantic
Coast States. told Mr. Grassland:
People are not interested in,
how the hell we are going to make
rubber"
When are you going to make
up your minds on a process?" he
inquired. before the war effort
breaks down because war workers
can't drive to work"
Mr.. Grassland testified it had been
estimated 100000 tons of synthetic
rubber would be produced in l943
To date this year, he said industry
was producing at the rate of 5000
tons annually.
He testified, however, that the
Houdry process was not yet ready
for adoption on commercial scale.
Calls Picture Gloomy.
Representative Talbot, Republi-
can, of Connecticut, said Mr..
Crossland's testimony presented a
gloomy picture"
1T is a very serious situation
Mr.. Grassland said, "and we have
to do something about it. We are
trying to do it. We can't be shift
ing from one process to another"
Representative Fitzgerald asserted,
ut looks like a fight as to
who will control this business now
and after the war. 1t is the duty
OF Rubber Reserve to get to the
bottom so we can get rubber"
Reiterating the public did not
care what synthetic rubber was
made of, Representative Fitzgerald
told Mr. Crossland:
you are flirting with danger in
Weighing the costs of the various
processes

fused to get up after her third auto

recover from the last mishap, al
though her injuries were only .

The ultimate blow Of Sadie's
morale came on the highway near
here in August. her circus truck
plunging into canyon. The as
year-old elephant did not get on
her feet after that. She was moved
to the Lakeview High School foot
ball field and later to an empty
garage.
Keeper King never left her side,
feeding her So meals every three
hours. For a while recovery seemed
crtain, but Sadie began failing three
days ago. She was insured for
SIC, 900.
Mr.. King said he thought the
skeleton should be mounted and
given to some school, The body
