Dunphy, Conway Appoint ed to Captaincies on
 Faraway Pacific Isle

Two officers of Waterburys l02d Infantry Regiment on duty some where in the Pacific" have been pro- noted from first lieutenants to cap tains, according to word received here today.
 Affected by the promotions are: First Lieutenant Edward H. Con- way of 861 Baldwin street and First Lieutenant Cyril Dunphy of 197 South Leonard street.
 Mrs. Conway and Mrs. Dunphy, wives of the two officers received letters simultaneously informing them of the promotions of their husbands.

 Both went from Waterbury to Camp Blanding, Florida, and subSe- quently were transported to their present posts. Both were veteran members of the National Guard when the emergency required the mobilization of reserve units.
 Captain Dunphy is brother of Second Lieutenant Edward who also is on duty in the same Pacific zone. Both are the sons of Police Lieu

CONGRESSMEN SEE PROCESS AT PLANT


 PROCESS AT PLANT
 Recently a group of senators, congresmen and other government officials, headed by Senator Guy M. Gillette, inspected the process in ction at the Publicker plant.
 The Szukiewicz formula, accord ing to a report made by a firm of New York chemical engineers for the Army and Navy Munitions Board, will produce synthetic rub Der from alcohol in single step with an alcohol conversion of 65 to 75 per cent.
 Of course, the hitch here Is, that the making of alcohol from grain involves the diversion of critical materials and services which the WIPE lsioath to release.
 Szukiewicz, in pre-war Poland, had produced synthetic rubber at the equivalent of g cents pound in American money. Before Japan shut off the East Indian sources, this country was paying g cents a pound fornatural rubber Accord ing to Dr. Lewis H. Marks, head research chemist at the plant, the alcohol company could make 100000 tons of synthetic rubber a year with the new formula for as low as 23 cents pound. Tn addition, it Is claimed that essential supplies of glycerine can be recovered as by product.

Congressional subcommittee seek Ing to solve the synthetic rubber problem.
 The formula is the discovery of Waslaw SzukiewicZ, a prominent Polish scientist. A chemistry stu dent in his native country, back in 1925, he was thrilled by huge American-made farm tractors. He was particularly interested in the big rubber tires, because he knew about Europe's rubber problem, and hoped to solve it.
 SZukiewicz knew that butadiene was the raw material out of which synthetic rubber is made. In his own laboratory, far from modem, ne began experimenting with the production of butadiene from al- cohol.
 HIS NEW PROCESS
 OUT-SPEEDS OTHERS
 Tn 1887, after eight years of painstaking work, the young Pole achieved new process for mak- ing butadiene rubber that was rastGr than any other European process. Interested friends collect ed money to help him expand his experiments, and, when the Ger mans attacked Poland in 1889, he was turning out about 1000 tons of rubber a year.
 But that was the end of his work in Poland. The Nazls seized his plant, but he himslef man. aged to escape, taking his pre- cious formula with him. He went to Italy and set up a new plant there. But when Italy declared war on England, he pulled Up stakes, fled Europe altogether, and got himself smuggled into Brazil. From Rio, he made his way to the United States, settled in Phila- delphia.
 After some negotiations with the U. s. Patent Office and the War Production Board, Szukic- wicz's formula has been made available for commercial use in the United States through the Publicker Commercial Alcohol com pany, said to be the worlds largest industrial alcohol maker.

similar proposal.
The house was expected to send
the bill to conference today, but
whether final action could be taken
before elections was uncertain.
