This is a proposal to enlarge the
Executive Committee by choosing
one man from each OF the IA men,
ber clubs. DR.. Thomas Utz of In
dian Spring is to be elected presi-
dent of the District organization.
He has served a year as vice presi-
dent.
Not long ago the Executive Com
mittee of the District association
adopted a recommendation to the
annual meeting that the local anna
teur title tourney be cancelled this
year. This action came despite the
fact that neighboring links bodies
the Middle Atlantic and Maryland
associations-have o. KID normal
golf schedules this year.
Not Popular Action.
The action Of the District solons
hardly can be said to be popular
with the rank and file of men who
compete in the tournaments. Many
Of them can see no reason for can
collation. of the Dictrict champion
ship at this time, suggesting that it
should be scheduled, and that later If
conditions warrant cancellation that
step can be taken.
The proposed cancellation does
not sit we'll with many of the men
who play in these tournaments.
Many of them have told us that in
asmuch as they have played in the
District championship for years they
feel they should have voice in set

war year. But by and large the
tournament competitors do not at
tend the annual meeting of the as

Happy New Year, Mr.. Business
man, and here's news that may
warm the cookies of your heart a
couple Of days ahead Of time.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, who doesn't usually go
in for forecasts. predicted today that
businessmen and others would be
assailed with so per cent fewer
questionnaires and Government
orders in 1943 because of a congress
sional campaign against such "nuis-
ances," as he described them.
The quizz boys have got the
quakes," the Michigan Senator told
reporters. "The reform started by
the Byrd Committee has just been
born, but the QUESTIONABLE COM
pliers are under notice now that they
have to justify their questions here
after and they couldn't do that in
one case out Of Is heretofore"
He Cites An Example.

the drive against unnecessary Gov
ernment questionnaires. said he be-
iieved a great dea, had been accom-

Requirements

War Manpower Chief Paul v. Nc
Mutt Is making strong representa-
tions" to establish the same physical
and educational standards for all
branches of the armed forces, he
told press conference today.
At the same time, he estimated
that it would be so days before
permanent arrangements for draft
ing men into all branches of the
service could be put in effect. 1t
had been announced previously that
the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard would begin filling their calls
with draftees February /.
He confirmed the fact that rep
resentatives of the various services
are meeting almost daily to iron out
the details OF the all-inclusive draft.
One OF the difficulties. it was un-
derstood, has been the differences in
physical and educational standards.
Will Assign Men.
We will do away with many of
the differentials that have existed
heretofore" Mr. McNutt said. We
are going to take men and assign
them"
Asked if he planned to extend the
induction of men with slight physi-
cal handicaps to the Navy, Mr..
McNutt said that this was not con-
templated at present. The Army,
he said, has plenty of places to use
men who were previously classified
in 1-B, but he is not sure how many
places the Navy has for limited serv-
icemen.
The Marine Corps has already an
nounced that it would accept volun-
teers for induction through their
draft board beginning January /
and continuing until the permanent
plan for drafting men for all serv-
Ices goes into effect. Mr.. McNutt
indicated that the other services
would have to follow suit in order to
keep up the flow Of men into the
service until the overall draft starts
operating.
Deferments Decrease.
Mr. McNutt also told his press
conference that the number of COM
plants from men seeking occupa-
tional deferments had decreased. He
said he believed the decrease was
due to the realiza ton on the part of
draft boards that they were not
simply getting men for the draft.
This had come about, he said, be-
cause of the shift of selective serv-
Ice to the War Manpower Commis-
sion.
The manpower chief was asked
whether married men with children
would be drafted in 1943 but de-
clined to predict on the grounds that
he did not want to disturb the
social fabric"

Rubber Trade Approves

BY LOU SCHNEIDER

Popular opinion 10 that German
scientists discovered the modern
technique Of making synthetic
rubber. Don't you believe ~
The method in general use was
discovered by American rubber
chemists. This from the United
States Rubber company.
Germans admittedly were the
first to use synthetic rubber in
tires. In fact. the kaiser's sol
diers used some synthetic tires In
the invasion Of Belgium In World
War /. The product being bad.
production stopped after the war.
There are five types of syn
thetic rubber in common use:
buna s, buna n, neoprene. butyl
and thiokol Each has value but
for a particular use. The gov

The oPA December u desdline
for turning in all tires IN excess
OF five will not be extended.
oPA says more than half Of
the 5000. 900 tires turned in thus
far are in good enough shape TO
be used In present condition or
with recapping.
Trade informants say that
upon completion Of the govern
ment's plans to produce synthetic
rubber, the annual production ca
pacity will be s75. 900 tons. Sec
rotary of Commerce Jesse Jones
says the country's output volume
of synthetic rubber will reach
something like" 1000, 900 tons
by the close of 1913.
Sounds healthy but the public
wants TO know just how much
synthetic rubber viii actually be
produced by the close OF 1913.
One trade informant figures this
years output at only 30 900 tons
but predicts that the govern
mept's plants win be coming
into big production In 1e43."
Rubber Car Bin LETTERS goes
much better In the forecast. He
says actual synthetic production
will be $4,000 tons by septsn-
Der 30. 1s43. but no more than
400. 900 tons by the close Of 1913.
