of crude rubber f-c'r the Far East would be restricted" -.
 Discussing Jones 1, Discussing Jones part in the sym thetic program, the committee pointe dout that in May, l94l, Jones succeeded in reducing 8 program for annual production of 100000 tons of synthetic rubber to 10000 tons.
 Thus Mir. Jones effected a sav- ings of $20,O0O, 900 from the amount which was authorized by the preSi- dent and eliminated 90,O00 tons capacity per year from the amount of rubber which a committee of ex- perts acting on the best infornla- ton available and upon advice from the army and navy munitions board had recommended" the report said.
 The international rubber regula- ton committee, "in effect an inter- national (British- -Dutch) cartel" rigidly controlled the export of crude rubber from the Far East and refused to agree to raisie produc- ton to 100 per cent of capacity un- til November, 19O, the report said. Full production was not reached until 191.
 Even after Dunkirk, the report said:
 "The British and Dutch contend ed that in order to increase rubber production they would have to irn- port labor (which was then avail able), but that they would have to make smoe further disposition of this labor after the United States had reached Its stockpile goal. They also feared that if the emergency failed to materialize, excess stocks of rubber in the United States would wenable the United States to control market prices"
 Non-strategic cargoes from the Far East replaced strategic cargoes and vessels were routed "the long way around the world" to the east coast of the United States, 1t said, because the Dutch insisted on ship ping the crude rubber in their own ships.
 The committee reviewed the tes- timony 1t received on a cartel agreement between the Standard Oil Co. (N. J) and I. c. Farben- industrie. The agreement has been dissolved by consent decree filed in federal district court for New Jer- sey.
 Documentary Evidence
 "T'he documentary evidence out of Standards own files requires the conclusion that Standard, as a re- suit of its cartel arrangements with the I. G. Farben, and as a result of its general business philosophy did hamper the development of sym thetic rubber in the United States and did place itself in a position where Its officials, although person. ally patriotic men, engaged in ac- ttvitieS helupful to the Axis nations and harmful to the United Nations," the report charged.
 It added that Standard has since shown willingness to cooperate fully in the synthetic rubber program.
 The report blamed most of the deJ lays in constructing synthetic plants since Pearl Harbor to lack Of centralized authority.
 One potential source of rubber, the report continued, is scrap. But 1t pointed out that no adequate pro- gram has been set up to collect scrap rubber and see that 1t gets to processing plants.
 Estimates of theato amount of scrap rubber vary from 500,00O to 10,000,000 tons, the report said, and present facilities for retaining scrap have an annual capacity of 350,000 tons. But actual reclamation in ls4l was only 275.000 tons, 1t added.

terday was the deadline for undoc-
umented fishing boats to wear the

Ocean City Outlook Rosy.
With the opening of the Ocean
City season on Saturday, Captain
of the Port N. C. M. Johnson re-
laXed the stringent regulations an
nounced 10 days ago. Anglers will be
permitted out of the inlet and off as
far as the smile limit without
identification cards or any other
requirement. The shippers OF these
boats are responsible for fares, how
ever, so rest assured they will be ex-
tremely careful.
Marlin have been sighted occa-
sionally within this limit, but II
would be time wasted to fish them
there. Sea bass and porgies infest
the reefs and sea trout the wrecks
within the limiting 5 miles. so there
will be plenty of good fishing.

for q reason that Is perfectly easy
to find for the rush to the golf
courses. The reason, Of course, Is
obvious and was obvious during the
winter, when thousands Of new peo-
pie poured into Washing ton and the
country clubs around town had their
busiest season ever with applicants
for membership. Today almost
every country club around town Is
crowded with members, and some
of them are getting ready to hang
out the S. r. o. sign. 1t may only
be confined to Washington, but the
truth is land every pro repeats it,
there hasn't been as much spring
play in many years as this year.
Mostly Week End Play.
But there is a difference. The
crowds are largely week end crowds,
and the bulk Of the play is concen-
trated on Saturdays and Sundays.
There is comparatively little play
through the week at most clubs, ex-
cept for the regulars who consider
it a rite to get in their round of golf
two or three times week. They
travel by bus or streetcar, or by
private auto when they can. but the
golfers are getting to the clubs.
Ask any pro around town about
it. He'll tell you that more rounds
Of golf have been played this year
than during any spring he can re-
call Scan the membership lists at
the country clubs. They're all full
or closer to it than they've been for
years. The whole thing adds up to
the fact that even with gasoline
and travel restrictions as they are
golf Is booming. Part OF it prob
ably stems back to the fact that
many people are passing up those

A far larger number OF anglers
hshed over the past week end than
on any other thus far this season.
Catches followed the usual Sunday
style-smal. Yet, during the middle
of the week fish were taking bats
in midsummer fashion. The an
swer to this is something we've been
seeking many years.
In every section of the Chesa-
peake and lower Potomac area,
stripers up to 21a pounds are rising
regularly late in the evening and
seem to be hitting best on white
feathers. The Herring Bay school
Saturday evening was something to
see, close up under the Fairhaven
shore and covering many acres.
1t should not be difficult to find
them during the day with shore
shrimp for chum if you can get the
shrimp without hooking your eye
teeth. 1t has been four bucks per
gallon.
Caution Necessary in Bay.
Baltimore's captain of the port
never has specified there would be
no night fishing in the upper Chesa-
peake, but has assumed that fishing
boats would help keep these waters
trouble free. Refraining from run
ming around at night and following
regulations closesly is what it takes
to do that, but we find some boats

long Sunday automobile trips and
going to the club for relaxation, but
whatever the cause the clubs around
the National Capital are in the
midst of a membership and golf
boom. And the prophets OF gloom,
who held mournfHlly three months
ago that golf might as well fold up,
take its tailspin and wait for the
end of the war, are confounded.
More Public Courses Needed.
Furthermore, the town needs more
public golf courses. There isn't
enough room on the public courses
for the throngs that pack 'em on
week ends. And 1t is going to hold
up throughout the year. No longer
can you blithely jump into the
family gas-eater and buzz off to
the mountains or the seashore. For
the golfers the golf club Is the
easiest place to reach. The tailspin
may come, but it hasn't shown up
yet.
