acy in its chosen field.
World control for the German con-
Germ was to include the production
of synthetic rubber in the us. Stand
ard Oil agreed not to license the pro-
duction of synthetic rubber in this
country except on terms approved by
the German trust. Consequently, q.
S. synthetic rubber production under
the patents held jointly by Standard
Oil and the German dye trust was
controlled in Germany. This control
was continued after the declaration
of war between Germany and the o.
vention of the U. S. government.
Revelation of the pact before the
Truman committee showed that Stand
ard Oil continued to serve Nazi in

1t occasioned particularly vehement
protests because they affected the
rubber shortage. But such deals are
neither new nor unusual.

Standard Oil is in the headlines
again This time the big oil concern
is charged by Asst. U. S. Atty. Gen
Thurman Arnold with holding back
important rubber production secrets
from Uncle Sam while turning them
over to the Nazis.
When the war in the Pacific cut
in the East Indies, the chief rubber
producers Of the country were called
upon by the government to pool their
knowledge about synthetic rubber.
All of the important concerns seem to
have responded except Standard Oil.
Standard did not respond because it
had already made deal on the sub
ject with one of the most important
businesses in Germany.
Standard Oil signed an agreement
with the big German dye trust in 1929
and revised and extended the agree
ment in October 1889, after the pres
ent war began. The agreement was
so drawn that it was to be binding
whether the U. s. entered the war or
not.
Under the agreement all processes
and patents relating to the production
of synthetic gasoline were to be
turned over by the German dye trust
to Standard Oil. In return, Standard
agreed to turn over to the dye trust
all discoveries relating to the produc-
ton Of synthetic rubber. Thus each

JAL0PY GRAVES
TO BE VIOLATED
FOR SCRAP

The campaign to turn the discarded
bile graveyards Of the state of Mon
tana into scrap iron and steel for the
production of tanks, battleships and
guns went into full swing today with
the arrival of John S. Graetzer, field
representative of the automobile
graveyard section of the bureau of in
dustrial conservation of WPB.
Graetzer has opened officers with
the war production board at 1856 Hen
|ry building, Seattle, Wash, and will
oversee the auto graveyard salvaging
for Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana.
"All the scrap iron and steel in the
automobile graveyards must start
moving Immediately through the usual
channels to the mills" Graetzer
stated.
Gears and jalopies older than 1885
now in these yards must be broken
up, sold to dealers who in turn must
sell them to the steel mills and foun-
daries. Our job is to see that this is
done quickly. In most sections of the
country, graveyard owners and deal
ers have co-operated with US in help
ing see that it is done.
However, the need for scrap is so
imperative that we are empowered
to requisition those yards who fail to
comply"
Graetzer explained the salvaging
program.
Dealers are being asked to make
firm bids for the cars in the various
graveyards, taking into consideration

group of colleagues: 1--WE don't
care so much about the communists.
They aren't many and can't do much
harm. But it's the darn New Dealers
and liberals that do the harm They
are the ones we want to get"
Dies isn't bothered about scruples.
He has adopted a procedure which
ignores completely the other members
of his committee and enables him to
smear large number of persons,
most of whom are innocent.
This is done through a report re-
leased to the press "a report not
based on committee hearings, pre-
pared without committee knowledge,
so that the accused have never had
the opportunity of defending them
selves, nor the committee the oppor-
tunity of questioning the accuracy Of
the report or rejecting it.
Virtually all of these reports, it is
known, are prepared and written by
IL. B. Matthews, who himself was
member of alleged communist front
organizations before he sold his serv-
ices to Dies. Matthews is Dies
"ghost writer"
1t is no secret that Voorhis, because
of the above tactics, has considered
resigning as a committee member on
a number of occasions. But on each
occasion, Dies indicates that he will
be good" hereafter-and Voorhis is
sucked in by the promise"
Dies Not Sincere
If Dies were sincere in his position
that all he is interested in is getting
communists, nazis, and fascists fired
from government positions, he would
follow Voorhis' suggestion Of taking
up such cases with department heads
rather than letting go a newspaper
