ment in the Middle West and
the West, where gas is plentiful,
over the proposal to ration gaso-
line on a Nation -WideN scale.
Unless the people in those sec
tions can be shown clearly what
the need for this artificial drying
up of gasoline, this resentment
will increase, rather than di-
minish.
Here is where the rubber prob
lem bobs up. You can get as
many opinions regarding rubber
in Washington as you wish. The
one outstanding fact, however,
is that the importation of crude
rubber from the Far East, where
it has come from in the past,
has practically stopped. There
is another fact. too. The manu-
facture of synthetic rubber to
take the place Of the natural
rubber is in its infancy.
Struggle Over Methods.
There is tremendous struggle
going on here in Washington
over the methods of synthetic
production which should be
adopted. The latest pronounce
ment is that it is now planned
to produce about 100000 tons
of synthetic rubber yearly pro-
ductionl. But added to this Is
the suggestion. the prediction
even, that there will be no rub
Der available for private uses
(tires for private automobiles,
for example) for another two
years.
Congressional committees, two
on the Senate side and one on
the House side of the Capitol,
have been hammering away at
the gas and rubber problems,
trying to bring some light. The
Truman committee of the Sem
ate, set UP to investigate the ma
tional defense program, recently
has reported to the Senate. It's
report was anything but opti-
mistic. A subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture,
headed by Senator Gillette of
Iowa, is engaged in separate in
quiry into the rubber situation.
This latter committee is dealing
particularly with the possible
use Of grain alcohol for the man
ufacture of synthetic rubber, as
well as for the manufacture of
other essential war materials.
A burning question arises. Shall
grain alcohol be used for the
production of rubber-as it has
been used in Russia and other
countries abroad for years-or
shall this country gamble alto
gether on the production of syn
thetic rubber from derivates of
oil? The question is important
for the future as well as for the
present. There seems no reason
to doubt that. If a large synthetic

RETURNS COME
in FOR PLEDGE
CAMPAIGN HERE
633 Out of | 500 Residents
Respond 10 Bond
Queries

Preliminary results of the recent
Gastineau Channel Voluntar
Pledge Campaign for the regular
purchase of War Savings Bonds Tor
the duration, showed today that
663 persons have returned the
signed forms to date. The forms
were made available to approx
mately 1900 residents of Juneau
and Douglas, for signature during
the period between May II and
May 25.
The 663 pledges thus far turned in
to the Alaska War Savings Stair
by the local committee, headed by
Mrs. John L. Mccormick, total
$l43 .oo9.75 in annual pledges, it
was stated today.
Not Fair Picture
This by no means represents a
fair picture of the bond purchasing
potential of the residents of the
Gastineau Channel area" Mrs. Nc
Cormick said, land while the initial
results of the campaign are dis
appointing, we have every hope
that many additional pledges will
be received during the next few
days.
Actually, Juneau and Douglas
currently are purchasing bonds at
the rate of about 100000 annually"
the Gastineau Channel War Saw
ings Committee chairman stated,
land it is Immediately apparent
that our returns at this time rep
resent but a small portion of our
probable sales.
''However-and despite the fact
that we all know that Juneau and
Douglas will continue to buy to
the limit of their ability-our Gov
eminent must have a definite yard
stick by which to measure its po-
tential income from the sale of
bonds. I beg every resident who has
not signed a pledge to do SO at
once. If any person is not always
able to fulfill his pledge, that will
not be held against him. If, on the
other hand, he is able to do more
than he pledges, he can be certain
of the satisfaction of knowing that
he is doing more than bis part in
the fight of Dollars for Freedom"
More Available
Mrs. Mccormick said that per-
menant pledge booth has been es-
tablished at the Butler-M auro Drug
Co., and that pledges may be signed
there during the store hours. Ar
rangements are being made for the
establishment of another similar
booth at point uptown. This To-
cation will be announced in a few
days.

RELAX LUMBER
RULING OF WpB
FOR TERRITORY
Production Mills Will Be
Allowed 10 Sell TO
Civilians

Gov. Ernest Gruening announced
today that as a result of cores
pondence between his office and
the Director of Industry Opera
tions of the War Production Board,
the construction lumber limitation
order L-121, which froze practically
all lumber in the Territory sold
directly from mills for the use of
the military, has been lifted for
Alaska.
The order was put into effect
on May - for a 60-day period, and
provided that production mills
could sell most grades of lumber
only to the Army, Navy, or the
Maritime Commission and such
contractors designated as working
for these agencies.
Although the WPB stated that
retail yards would not be affected
by the ruling, and expressed belief
that stock on hand in retail yards
would care for normal civilian
needs, Gov. Gruening pointed out
that most of the lumber sold in
the Territory is sold direct from the
mills.
The Governor asked a suspension
of the ruling for the entire Terri
tory and this request was carried
out yesterday by j. S. Knowlson,
director of Industry Operations Of
the WPB.
In suspending the regulation,
Knowlson asked that lumber mills
throughout Alaska cooperate with
the Military to the fullest extent
possible.
