Speaker Warns Club
Against Axis Propaganda

If the citizens Of the United States
can prevent the Axis powers from
dividing our people by propaganda
our enemies will not accomplish
their objective of conquering this
country, William c. Kruger, ma
tional commander of the Army and
Navy Union, said in a talk yester-
day at the Thomas Circle Club.
Taking as his theme Unite and
Conquer" Mr.. Kruger warned the
people that they must mot listen to
any form of Quislings." He de-
crared that I'VE must unite instead
of divide-unite each race, each
creed, the poor and the rich and
win this war. We hear these peo-
pie talking everywhere. We must
not listen. We must stop them," he
warned.
He cited such statements as "the
English will fight until the last
American Is killed." "our Pacific
Fleet was destroyed at Pearl Har-
Dor" and Russia will sell us out
and make a separate peace with
Germany and Japan" as examples of
Quisling statements.

Food Served on Deck.
The little ship kept her rolling
and pitching until the Australian
coast was sighted. Seasick casual
ties were heavy.
But stricken mothers, many of
whom left the Indies without word
of their husbands marooned at Bor-

helped with babies bottles, diapers
and general nursemaid tasks by men
volunteers.
All of us took turns at serving
food on deck, for the gloomy hold

four decades of cattle carrying.
Bridge, poker, chess, reading and
fighting" the unsteady deck occu-
pied the time of most passengers.
Others concentrated on the un-
timely game of "battleships," alarm
ing fellow passengers with their too
realistic cries of Direct hit by tor
pedo."
But reality never materialized. al
though Japanese subs are known
to have been operating in the waters
through which we passed.
One day I did what I wanted to
do a fortnight earlier while awaiting
rescue after my ship had been
bombed and sunk during my escape
from Singapore. That was to read
the Book of Job.
That night I was forced into the
unwelcome role of Jobs comforter
among Dutch women worried about
what the Japanese would do to their
husbands serving with the Java
home guards.

Wickard Orders Test
Guayu|e P|antingsin
Southwest States
Two Bureaus to Make
Experiments Looking to
Bigger Rubber Supply

By the Associated Press
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
ordered the Forest Service and the
Bureau of Plant Industry yesterday
to proceed with a program for pro-
duction of guayule rubber but made
clear that no substantial amounts
of rubber could be obtained In the
near future.
He said the guayule project would
be confined this year to test plant
ings in California, New Mexico, Ari-
zona and Mexico to determine suit
able areas for possible future COM
mercial paintings.
Operations, which will be CEN
tered at Salinas, Calf, will be lin
tied to about 1000 acres this year
for test planting and about $50 acres
for production of plants for in
creased paintings in 1943.
Doesn't Solve Problem.
Secretary Wickard emphasized
that the project did not in itself
promise an early solution of the Ma
tion's rubber supply program.
1.-THE law limits field paintings Of
guayule to $4,000 acres, which is
about all that can be accomplished
by the spring of 1943 with seed that
is available at present." he said.
But once the project is under way
there will be opportunity for ex-
pansion if needed"
A recent act of Congress provided
for the program. The nucleus of
the Governments undertaking al
ready exists in properties and proc
esses developed by the Inter-Conti-
mental Rubber Co. in its production
of guayule rubber from wild shrubs
in Mexico and its experimentation
with cultivation of the plant in Cali
fornia and elsewhere in the South
west.
Directors Appointed.
Secretary Wickard said the de-
partment had arranged to purchase
these properties at $1,721 .235.
The Forest Service has selected
one of its regional foresters, Evan
w. Kelley of Missoula, Mont, as
field director. and Paul Roberts,
director of the prairie States for
estry project, as associate director
of the guayule program.
Guayule is a slow-growing shrub
native to limestone slopes of North
Central Mexico and the Big Bend
area of Texas. Commercial ship
ments of guayule rubber have been
made from Mexico for many years
Production of such wild rubber,
however, is not expected to exceed
10000 tons annually, Mr.. Wickard
said.

lar, per capita income last year
amounted to 1868, as compared with
$3.50 in 1929, and a depression low,
in 1882, of 1888.
"The influence Of rising prices In
expanding the level of national in
come was much larger in 1941 than
it had been in other recent years"
the report pointed out. ut is esti-
mated that an upward price move
ment of about per cent occurred
IN the course of the year, most of
which was concentrated in the sec
ond six months. Even after adjust
ment for price changes, however, the
increase in physical output in 1941
was very substantial, and the total
output for the year established a
record high. On the basis Of con-
slant prices, real income in 1941
exceeded the 1910 volume by ap-
proximately Is per cent, and the
1919 figure By over 30 per cent"
