major chemical companies of the
country is prepared to establish a
plant in which a substitute rubber
known as Thiokol can be manufac-

would seem that somebody in high

this proposal did not want a gigantic
new industry which would make the

now has the "go" signal from Jesse

Unless the same mysterious force,
which for so long successfully re-

The prospects for an early terminal
ton of the war are not as good as
they were month or six weeks ago.
Our main difficulty lies in submar-
inc sinkings which continue at
pace faster than we can replace the
lost tonnage. AS a result war ma
terial continues to pile up at the
various ports until the congestion
has become serious problem.
Army Purchases.
Army procurement policies are
being criticized by businessmen who
complain that the overpurchasing of
personnel equipment is imposing un-
necessary hardship on the civilian
economy. With supplies for the pri-
vate trade feeling the pinch in tex
tiles and shoes, businessmen say that
survey has disclosed that the gov
eminent had ordered stocks sufficient
for the peacetime needs of $4,000, 900
men. For example, the allotment of
shoes per soldier is ten pairs, includ-
ing those on hand and requirements
Immediately available, those in pro-
cess of manufacture and those on
order. When this purchasing prin-
ciple is applied to all items, the in
ventories are swollen far beyond
ordinary proportions. To do so only
makes for higher prices.

in to my office from farmers back
home who have been unable to get
delivery on cultivator made ex-
pressly for certain make of trac-
tor notwithstanding some of the or
ders were placed as early as in
March. I again took the matter up
with the War Production board and
was told that the manufacturers of
this particular make of cultivator
had exceeded the production quota
fixed by the board and that some
1000 cultivators had been ordered
withheld from sale as penalty. I
raised the point that it wasn't the
manufacturer that was being pun
ished under their ruling but rather
those who had failed to get delivery
and that in view of the fact that the
cultivators had been made up and
were ready for delivery such an or
der was helping Hitler, Hirohito and
other enemies. An appeal by the
manufacturer was pending and
was assured that the appeal would
be approved and orders would inn
mediately be issued for the release
of the cultivators to the trade. There
may not be enough cultivators avail
able to fill all the orders on hand
but at least all those that have been
made up will Immediately be made
available for use on our farms. This
is another example of Washington
bureaucracy carried to extreme.
This Doesn't Add Up.

did not give the name of the con-
signee it must have been some branch
of the government for no good bust

would have brought 2 million pounds
of cheese to a market that is already
glutted with millions and millions of
pounds of domestically made cheese

for which there is little market. Or
the other hand a good businessman
would have filled the cargo space
to the deck with coffee, of which
there is a shortage in this country
so serious that there is talk of ra-
tioning its use.
Stamp Value Doubled.
Evidently the Office of Price Ad-
ministration has at last awakened to
the fact that there is more sugar
in the country than domestic needs
require for they have liberalized the
terms under which sugar may be had
but the new regulations do not in
crease the amount that can be pur-
chased over a given period. Each
stamp is now good for two pounds OF
sugar per month instead of one pound
every two weeks as heretofore SO
it will be seen that the amount has
not been increased.
Warehouses continue full of stored
sugar and that storage space could
be utilized to much better purposes
I have suggested to OPA that if they
feel that further rationing is neces-
sary it would be desirable from every
angle that each family be permitted
to buy 100 pounds every so often,
depending on the number in the
family. That would make available
an enormous storage space and at
the same time do away with the irk-
some regulations that take time, and
wear nerves, sole leather and rubber
to fragile.
Ways to Save Sugar.

lions that are of vital importance to

g Rubber Situation.
The mystery surrounding the rub
Der and, gasoline situation in the
United States continues. Confusion,
contradiction and inconsistency all
contribute to produce this air of
mystery which has unsettled the ma
ton and strained the confidence of
the people in the Administration
more than anything else that has
happened since the shroud of mys-
terry was thrown about the japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor.
This is a picture of the utter con-
fusion in which bureaucratic activ-
tiles have thrown the country. The
result is that today no member of
Congress, no citizen, nor even the
bureaucrats in charge, can say how
much of an actual, rubber shortage

Churchill Here Again.
Less than $50 years ago the land
now occupied by the nations capitol
and known as the District of Col
umbia was swampy bog infested
with frogs and snakes. Today that
area is occupied by the capital OF
the mightiest country on earth and
the City of Washington is the Mecca
toward which the statesmen of many
nations look for guidance and sup
port. We have had so many states
men and royalties visit Washington
in the past year that it is hard to
recall them all. AS this is written,
Prime Minister Churchill is here for
the second time within six months
and it is rumored via London that
his visit is for the purpose of enlist
ing this governments aid in the
African campaign where things ap-
pear to have gone awry.
Military men say that If the United
Nations decide to throw a sufficient
force into northeastern Africa in
order to stop the German drive on
Egypt, the creation of a western
front in Europe will have to wait
until next year. The only bright
spots on the horizon are the magni-
ficent naval victories won by our
navy in the Coral Sea and Midway.
