Standard Finds Wov
To Get Rubber From
Aviation Gas Process
Forish Says Method May
Triple Capacity Of Plants
For Synthetic Product
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 22.-The Stand
ard Oil Co. of New Jersey has
worked out a process by which basic
materials for synthetic rubber and
better aviation gasoline can be re-
covered simultaneously from petro-
leum, and calls it "the biggest de-
velopment since we began expert
menting with synthetics.'
The new process was announced
on the heels of a recommendation
by Secretary of Commerce Jones,
that Americas synthetic rubber
goal be boosted to 10000 tons q
year from scheduled 100000.
This process fnay double or triple
the capacity of the plants that are
now being built to produce materials
for artificial rubber" w. s. Parish,
president of the Standard of New
Jersey. said yesterday in describing
the new technique, worked out by
scientists of the Standard Develop
ment Co., a technical subsidiary.
Little Change in Equipment.
Robert P. Russell, vice president of
the development company and
key man In the discovery, said 1t
could be used by reflners using the
fluid catalytic or alkalization pro-
cess with very little change in equip
ment.
Mr.. Parish said the details had
been made available to the Federal
petroleum co-ordinator and other
Government agencies, and would be
available generally under the oil
industry's patent licensing plan.
1t was emphasized, however, that
any increased output would not be
sufficient to mean tires for the aver
age motoriSt at least for the present
Will Speed War Program.
The Standard Oh president COM
mented:
I'VE estimate that adoption of
the new method will speed up the
war program for production OF
synthetic rubber from plants already
underway and will provide the Ma
ton with an increased potential
capacity Of raw material for more
than 100000 tons OF Buna s rubber
and 100000 tons of Butyl rubber a
year"
Formerly. Mr.. Parish explained.
extracting butadiene. gaseous raw
material for synthetics, from the
petroleum process, meant less avia-
tion gasoline.
Now the scientists get butadiene
and higher-octane-th -than-before
base stock for plane fuel at the
same time
Some refining units will use 1t
actually to increase output Of 100
octane aviation gasoline" Mr.. Parish
said.
First full-Scale Use Of the new
pilot-plant-tested method will be
at a Standard Oil plant in the
South, although Mr. Parish said he
expected about 30 other refiners TO
adopt it.

LISBON, May 22.-Air raids in
creasingly are striking terror into
the hearts Of German civilians,
lowering their morale and cutting
down war production.
This may be said despite the
fact that on no other factor of the
war perhaps is 1t more dificult to
obtain authentic information than
on the results Of r. A. F. bombings.
There Is an iron-clad rule in
Germany that bombing repairs take
precedence over all others; as .
result. in an incredibly short time
bombed districts are made to appear
normal, at least outwardly.
The morning after a raid. window
pane settlers remove debris and re-
place glass as the first step toward
making a stricken area look normal

plumbers report as soon as possible
for their part Of the work.
Areas Roped on.
A casual visitor In q bombed section
thus, on the first morning, will find
areas roped of so he cannot de-
termine the extent of damage at
first hand; by the second morning
after a raid he may be able to pass
without noticing much of anything
untoward. The police will see to it
that he does not trespass on dam
aged premises and the street front
will have been made to look normal.
When large factories are hit,
Propaganda Ministry officials may
even conduct groups OF foreign jour-

Morale Of ItoIions
Weakened by Raids
BY RICHARD G. MAssOCK,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
LISBON, May 22.-British bombers
are giving Italian cities . respite
from their attacks after shaking the
morale of Sicilians and Southern
Italians with raids last year.
Bombardments Of Italy have been
comparatively few throughout the
war.
Tho main targets are Turin.
Milan, Genoa and other industrial
cities OF Northern Italy. which are
reached IN long night flights from
Britain, end southern centers at
tackled from Egypt and Malta or
aircraft carriers OF the British
Mediterranean feet.
Property damage has been con-
siderable, but nothing TO compare
with that in Germany, reports Of
one time Berlin correspondents
indicate.
Morale among the excitable resi-
dents of Southern Italy and Sicily,
however. was greatly weakened by
q series OF heavy bombingS last
October and Observation-Disclosures
daily affairs-when the British
struck at air and naval bases from
which German Italian forces were
operating during the autumn
LiDyan campaign.
The seaport Of Naples was blasted
a score of times between June 26,
1910, and last January 4. Palermo,
Brindisi. Cosenza, Catanzaro, Reg
gio, Calabria and Taranto were
among other British objectives.
King Victor Emmanuel made a
six-day tour Of the bombed towns
in Sicily. which lies of the toe OF
the Italian boot. in an attempt TO
quiet the fears OF the pOpulace and
bolster morale. Later. in February.
the King made a six-day tour OF
southern cities Of the mainland on

Disappearance Of 4
Remains Mystery
After Seven Years
Probers Agree z Couples
Were Slain After Leaving
New Mexico Hotel
~ the Associated Press.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. Mex, May
22-Two middle -aged couples from
Illinois left their hotel rooms at
Vaughn, N. Mex, seven years ago
this morning to continue vacation
motor trip to the West Coast.
Somewhere along the 100-odd-
mile stretch between Vaughn and
Albuquerque they vanished
This was the beginning Of q
mystery as fantastic as any Of the
Southwest's tales Of unexplained
disappearances and unsolved kill
ings.
Authorities are agreed that Mr..
and Mrs. George M. Lorius of East
st. Louis, and Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Heberer Of Duquoin, Ill, were slain.
But they were not sure why. The
two couples. close friends, were not
wealthy. Mr. Lorius was a coal
dealer, Mr.. Heberer barber.
Scores Were Arrested.
Scores Of suspects have been ar
rested and questioned, rewards
posted. But the person or persons
who knew the fate of the Illinois
tourists never disclosed the secret.
Many times police thought they
were near a solution-but the an
swer never came. Only few months
ago a man in San Antonio COM
mitted suicide after his name had
been mentioned in the case He later
was exonerated.
The fact that the four persons
were missing became known late in
May, 1885. Dallas police, who had
been watching an abandoned au-
tomobile fer two days, learned it
belonged to Mr.. Lorius and notified
his ofilce.
Postcards dispatched by the
travellers from Vaughn reached their
destinations. as did two mailed
later-by whom is not known-from
Albuquerque More than . month
after the disappearance. cowboys
found burned remnants Of the
partys personal effects on the mesa

Tatto0ed Man Sought.
Most logical Of the clues was tbs
description of a dark-haired, nerv-
GUS young man seen driving a car
later to be identified as belonging
to Mr.. Lorius-southward through
New Mexico on May %, 1885. The
young man, said to have had a dis
tinctive tattoo on one forearm. later
registered at an FL Paso hotel as
James Sullivan"
He left trail OF forged travellers
checks, signed with Mr.. Lorius'
name. Once a border patrolman
south OF El Paso questioned him,
but he explained away his nervous
ness by saying he had been drunk
in Mexico the night before. At that
time the quadruple disappearance
had not become known.
The man with the strange tattoo
and the nervous manner has never
been found. He alone. apparently.
could dispel the mystery which now
seems destined to go unsolved.

mishaps despite penalties for dis
closing war secrets.
Almost never do the daily war
communiques Of the German high
command admit that the war effort
has been disrupted by bombings
1t Is almost invariably exclu-
sively civilians who have been>hit
and structures essential to the
war effort that have been put out Of
commission.
Casualties among soldiers on duty
in a stricken area, assuming, for
example. that . barracks has been
hit. never are mentioned.
Only occasionally when the truth
simply cannot be concealed sue
cessfully is public mention of serious
damage made.
Thus every German knows that
Muenster was bombed with fright
full results late last summer. But
only those having relatives and
friends there are aware that whole
blocks were raZed.
Sermons by the Roman Catholic
Bishop of Muenster, Count August
Won Galen, also helped to publicize
the Muenster bombing.
Kiel. Hamburg, Bremen. Lubbock
and Rostock also figured in war
communiques because the damage
there was so great it could not be
concealed.
ALu.;xx>A yU~-
Likewise the high command ad-
mitted that an Augsburg industrial
plant was hit in broad daylight,
because the word spread rapidly
through the country.
CThe big Diesel works at Augs-
burg, credited with the produc-
ton OF half Of Germany's sub
marine engines, was damaged
heavily in a daylight raid April
II. The British sent IL four
motored Lancasters on the raid,
but lost four near Paris. Three
more were lost after they had
bombed the Augsburg factory
Once the authorities decide to
admit q raid, propagandists under
DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels get busy
to assert that virtually only cultural
objects. which should be the prop
erty Of the entire civilized world,
were destroyed.
The public mind then Is prepared
for Adolf Hitler's next retaliation
move, which, by the Fuehrers own
declaration, should be 10 times
