Fighters for Freedom" has been
formed to foster civilian resis-
tance.
A few days ago the Japanese
military authorities woke up to
find that proclamations which
they had plastered throughout
Manila and the countryside had
all been strangely altered. This
proclamation enumerated a num-
ber of of1enses against the Jap
anese which were punishable by
death. 1t declared that for
every japanese killed, 10 Fill
ipinos would be shot. The al
teration made the proclamation
read that for every Filipino
killed 10 japanese soldiers would
lose their lives.

But America must be made fully

Pointing out that blind patriot

called for careful appraisal of the
war effort.
Must Acknowledge Mistakes.
1T Is not patriotism to reject ap-
praisal and suggestion when they
are constructive and fairly offered"
he added. They must not be branded
as partisanship or petty politics.
Mistakes will not win this war.
The correction of mistakes will con-
tribute to victory. Silencing or re-
senting fair appraisal and sugges-
ton will not maintain the Navy and
Army In action. -
THE most wholesome, heartening
sign which could be given America
of the real progress we must make
toward victory would be the frank
acknowledgment of mistakes, the
candid admission Of incompetence,
wherever found, and the correction
of such conditions"

Gillette Lays Attempt
To Control Synthetic
Rubber 10 Oil Leaders
Would Prevent Use Of
Farm Products, He Says,
Asking Senate Probe
z, the Associated Press.

z, the Associated Press.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, Of
Iowa, charging that there was "a
well-planned attempt" by major oil
companies to control production Of
vitality needed synthetic rubber,
urged yesterday that the Senate
order an investigation of policies Of
Government agencies in this field.
The Iowa Senator, supported by
Senator Norris, independent, Of
Nebraska, said he would ask vote
tomorrow on a resolution authoriz-
ing the Agriculture Committee to
launch an inquiry into what he
declared was an effort to prevent
utilization Of farm products in max
ing both industrial alcohol and
synthetic rubber.
Complained to Nelson.
Senator Norris told reporters he
was convinced that "one Of the
biggest combinations in the country
is doing everything it can to keep
agricultural interests out of the
field of industrial alcohol produc-
ton" He added that he had called
the matter to the attention of Don
aid M. Nelson, head Of the War
Production Board.
Both Senators Gillette and Nor
ris said they were convinced that
much of the synthetic product
needed to replace the supplies Of
rubber cut off by, Japanese con-
quests in the Southwestern Pacific
could be produced from alcohol
made from surplus stocks Of wheat
and corn.
Senator Gillette said there was no
question that pronounced sue
cesSes" had been achieved in both
Russia and Germany in making
synthetic rubber from butadiene,
and that the Russians had proved
that butadiene could be obtained
from grain alcohol. 1t also can be
obtained, he. said, from the cracked
gases resulting from petroleum
refining.
Would Prevent Monopoly.
'"The important point" Senator
Gillette said, "is to see that no one
organization gains control of this
production. With the stupendous
needs for the future, both In war
and peace, it is evident that who
ever is able to control industrial
alcohol and synthetic rubber will be
able to dominate a field of tremen-
dous importance to the United
! States and our citizens"
All he was asking, he added, was
that agriculture be given a fair
chance to supply at least part Of
| the needs.
Chairman Herring disclosed that
a Senate defense investigating sub
committee had been informed that
all patents held by oil companies
for the production of synthetic rub
Der had been pooled with the Gov
ernment, and thus made available
for use of all manufacturers in the
field.
