 FOE: GERMAN PLANES
 There is little recreation around the Castle. You can't play base ball. German reconnaissance over the whose area has increased six fold recently, so no one stands in tke open in groups of more than three.
 General Clark thinks officers and men should be more cohesive, In a human sort of way. He knows the names of many men under his command, and during a routine inspection of soldier quar- ters, he'll stop frequently to talk. He checks their quarters fre- quently, not to observe the shine of rifle but to learn if his officers are doing their job and looking after This boys" properly.
 A Major General Clark day goes like this: Up at 6:30. A breakfast forty minutes later = of stewed prunes, puffed wheat with milk, hot cakes with bacon and coffee. Hard at work at his desk ln the castle by a. m.
 Young, fuzzy chinned lieuten- ants and grizzled colonels of the last war move in and out of the office, satting briefly their business and receiving decisions which will keep them going for days. He orders the head of his G3 to pay closer attention to hut construc- ton and then asks another Ii he communications setup from head quarters to field is completed.
 General Lloyd, commander of Britain's Southern Command, and Sir Rockingham Wallace arrive for lunch. They speak of accom- modating new units scheduled to arrive soon. Then at l begins the mile-long walk through woods to the officers mess. It's two-story house where Clark and his staff of l2 live and eat. The rooms nave the monklike chasteness of any officers barracks. Steel frame beds, bedding folded army style, one table and chair, a small rag rug.
 General Clark's room is the Iame, except for an automatic rifle, fifty rounds of ammunition, gas mask and small box of sandy bars which are placed care- lully on the mantel for quick emergency exit.
 There's a desk, too, with pie ures of family and the Washing Ion home. Each night after nine ne writes to Renie Clark, his wife; Ann Clark, his 15-year- old daugh- ter, and Bill, the -9-year-old son noW a plebe at West Point. A non-smoker, he munches candy oars as he writes.

 Lunch this day was meat, with Vegetablebs, potatoes, string beans black tea and pastry.
 Back at his desk in the castle by 2 p. m, General Clark dictated 8 short report, then left to inspect a 105 nm gun crew which went briefly into action. AfterWard, he watched maneuvers of his am phibious engineers.
 Dinner at six, with cocktails a half hour before. A meal of steak vegetables, coffee and apple pie Most of the staff returned to the castle for an additional two ol three hours work.
 This schedule continues sever days a week, with sometimes ar occasional flying visit to other units in Britain.

Hickey May Sign as
New Brooklyn Owner

The latest visit of the vice.
president of the st. Louis Card.
inals was surrounded in as much
secrecy as was the case last
week. He arrived yesterday un.
announced, registered at a mid
town hotel but didn't answer his
telephone, and even his sons
family said they were unaware
of his presence here.
However, there was reason to
believe that he had come to
conclude negotiations which
have been going on ever since
the World Series, when the
Board of Directors of the Dodg-
ers set out to find a successor
to Larry MacPhail, who resigned
to accept a Observation-Disclosures
in the Army.
When he was last here Hickey,
although refusing to acknowl-
edge that his presence had any
connection with the Brooklyn
vacancy, did say he hoped to
know something definite within
the next week"
The fact that he returned Sc
ven days later, on the dot, was
therefore accepted to mean that
he knew something definite and
there seemed to be no occasion
for his making a trip here If the
definite" were negative.
When Hickey was here last
week it was understood he had
to straighten out his Cardinal
contract, which would not nor
mally expire until December 81.
This pact provided for him to
share in the profits of the club
in addition to his salary and the
sum involved may be measured
by the approximately $4,000 he
received last year. In addition
Hickey was believed to have
owned some stock in the Card
inals, which he would have to
sell before becoming associated
with any other Major League
club.
These problems may have
been solved.
In addition, when Hickey was
here q week ago one of the four
Dodger directors. Joseph A. Gill
leadeau, was out of the city. To-
day they were all accounted for
James Mulvey,
George Barnewall and William
l.. understanding it possible
for the Board to take action.

fifth would be delivered Satur-
day, six the following day and
the others at the rate of one a
day until the contract has been
fulfilled.
Just where the trucks will be
stationed, Col. Furlong said, is
a military secret, other than that
they have been assigned TO pro-

New gold" has been discovered
in goldenrod-and it's in the
leaves rather than in the bril-
liant blossoms. The gold" is
rubber-natural, not synthetic.
Which is why 42-year-old DR..
B. l., Hammond, geneticist Of
the u. S. Bureau of Plant In
dustry, is striving for more and
better leaves on the goldenrod
grown at and around the u. S.
plant introduction garden near
here.
Native rubber can be ex-
tracted from the leaves of DOM
esticated goldenrod at rate of
100 pounds or more to an acre, if
growing conditions are normal.
Plenty of sunshine and rain are
required, but the soil can be re-
latively poor.
In the garden proper, some 10
acres are brilliant with the
blooms of goldenrod. Nearby,
on surrounding farms, about 14O
acres more either are under Gull
tivation or have been harvested.
New strains are constantly be-
ing obtained, but five predom-

SCIENTIFIC NURSING
INCREASES RUBBER
CONTENT

The other day Chatham
County farmer looked out over
the goldenrod field and wonder
ingly observed:
IL never thought to see the day
when weeds would be cultivat-
ed"
But this cultivated goldenrod
is hardly weed" It's wild
cousin grows alongside high
ways, golden plumes rising two
or three feet from the ground,
but these deluxe plants tower
higher than a mans head, luxur-
liant in leaves and flowers. Wild
goldenrod leaves contain about
one per cent native rubber,
whereas the best domesticated
strains contain from six to ten
per cent.
DR.. Hammond believes golden
rod is the best immediate source
of natural rubber. It's a one
season crop and reproduces
easily. Guayule, another rub
bearing native shrub, for ex-
ample, must be cultivated from
four to seven years to be pro-
ductive.
However, DR.. Hammond hest
tates to name any source as the
best. Time will have to prove
that. Besides, it may turn out
that goldenrod rubber is best for
some things, guayule rubber for
others, Russian dandelion rubber
for still others and synthetic
rubbers for yet other purposes.
In developing rubber-produc-
ing strains of goldenrod, the
Bureau of Plant Industry is car
rying on the experiments of the
late Thomas A. Edison.
At the experiment station
here, the emphasis is on learn
ing all there is to know about
cultivation and propagation, on
developing and improving
strains for superior leaf produc-
ton.
Rubber is extracted by means
Of solvents. This phase of the
work is carried on in the bureau
laboratory at New Orleans. CO.
operating are scientists of COM
mercial rubber companies. Meth
DDS of extraction change con-
stantly.
Goldenrod is harvested in Sep
TENDER and October, and grows
best in the Southeast. At this
station seed is saved from the
heads, stems are cut up for root
ing purposes, leaves are stripped
and shipped to- New Orleans.
Dried leaves may be kept indef-
initely with no loss OF rubber
properties.

NEW SUPERVISORS
 FOR STATE NAMED
Highway Reorganization Work in Connecticut Sin=
 plified By Retirements

Hartford, December 26 Con- tinuing reorganization work begun two years ago and advanced in 1941. State Highway Commissioner William J. Cox has realigned the maintenance districts in his depart ment. These will be reduced from ten to six as of January 1. and the boundaries made to match closely the lines of the six engineering res- idences as now existing.
 The change represents a recog- milton of advances in maintenance practices. Commissioner Cox said. Originally it was necessary to have small maintenance districts with small maintenance crews doing all types of work on a limited distance of roadway.
 Present practice tends toward specialized crews performing main tenance operations Of a more per- manent character on greater mile age. Supervisors. under the new plan. are not called upon personally to oversee the work of so many gangs and in consequence are bet ter able to handle a somewhat larger area.
 Another advantage inherent in the approximately matching areas is the ease with which maintenance and construction heads may handle joint problems. Formerly each con- struction head or resident engineer dealt with more than one main- tenance supervisor in almost every instance.
 The reassignment is simplified by recent retirements which leave the exact number of supervisors for the new districts. These men. with their district headquarters. will be as follows:
 A Louis Kalas. Norwalk: Walter A Spencer. Branford: James w. Maher. Lisbon: N. Watson Harden burgh, Winsted: B. B. Green. New ington and Oscar F. Hemmeler. Willington.

Wallace Says Church
 Postwar Stake Vital
Vice-President Sees Solution of Peace When Common
 People Do Some Constructive Thinking on Subject

Perhaps more than any other man in public life, states Mir. Hall in his interview article, MT. Wallace syfn- bolizes in the state the identical ideals the church is most eager to promote. He has prophesied of the Century of the Common Man." and he has talked Of the urgent necessity of building "a postwar world that is economically. politically and spirit ually Eound.'
 Other of his sentences which MT. Hall says have caught in the mind as though equipped with winged barbs" include:
 This is fight between a slave world and free world The idea of freedom is derived from the Bible with it's extraordinary em- phaSiS on the dignity of the indiyi- dual Those who write the peace must think of. the whole world.
 There can be no privileged peoples We ourselves are no more master race than the Nazis There must be neither military nor economic imperialism . International cartels that serve American greed and the German will-to-power must go.
 No compromise with Satan is possible . :. The peoples revolution is on the march :. Strong in the strength of the Lord, we who fight in the peoples cause will never stop until that cause is won"

Continuing Search
 Mfr. Nolan stated his office will continue to search for woman ape plicants for training ct technical jobs. The most recent group re- cruited is now receiving instruc. ton on automatic screw and mill- ing machine operations, and their course will cover various other phases of machine work, qualifying them to serve as assistants at ifn- portant positions in the defense in- dustry.
 Several manufacturing concerns have expressed interest in accept- ing women for training at special ized jobs. Many of them give their own instruction courses ct the plants while others are cooperating with the eDfense Training center.
 Women with high school educa. ton are preferred for the jobs now available, but applications are be- ing accepted from those with gram mar school training.
 The registration picture for wo- wen as a whole at the employment office ct the present time is not wholly satisfactory, the manager indicated. Many of the applicants express preference for working in a particular plant, in many cases the one nearest their homes, or for particular shift, and this leads to complications in trying to fill demands for a constant factor fac- ing the employment officials and adding to their duties, 1t was re- vealed.
 Part-Time Work
 Part-time work has not been ob- tained to large extent as yet here. although several employers have taken pairs of women for half shifts. It Is believed that haif-shift plan may be used to larger extent in the near future, after the experi- mental stage has been passed and the need of workers becomes even more acute.
