.INDUSTRIALISTS
MEET FARM HEADS

Storrs. Conn, Jan. 80 -(UP)-
Farm leaders from three New Eng
land states opened tWo-day con-
ference with industrialists today at
University of Connecticut to dis
cuss their mutual war problems.
The labor situation was the para
mount topic of the informal con-
versations as agriculturalists sought
a remedy for the scarcity of help
due to the attraction of farm hands
to war factories which paid high
er wages and overtime hours. Rep
resentatives from Connecticut
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
attended the conference.
The parley was sponsored by the
agriculture committee of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers

committee, headed the industrial
group, and David Clark, Milford,

FIRE BOXES AT
4 HOUSING SITES
Eight Installed at u. S. Ex-

Fire Chief Thomas F.. Cavan-
naugh informed the members of the
board of fire commissioners last
night that installations have been
completed on four fire alarm boxes
at the housing project on Hamilton
avenue at the expense of the fed
eral government. Chairman Fin
ton j. Phelan explained to the
board that in addition, four boxes
have been installed at the other
housing project on Long Hill road.
-Four letters with checks amount
Ing to $75 were received by the
board in appreciation of service rem
dered in recent fires. The checks
were turned into the firemen's pen
sion fund.
j. r. Clayton Co., and Louis
Freedman both sent $25 each for
the aid the fire department fur
nished at the Bank street fire on
January 8. A letter from Frank j.
Green, on behalf of the Chamber OF
Commerce, expressed thanks and
cited the departments work in its
prompt action which prevented the
fire spreading through the city
block instead of being confined by
the firemen.
A check of $25 was received from
DR.. M. A. O'Hara for service ex-
tended by the fire department at
1853 East Main strete in fire which
occurred there on January 20.

too large a supply. Producers of
guayule rubber in Mexico and Cali
fornia have expressed fear of Bra
lillian rubber. However, the most
Brazil can produce from wild rub
Der trees will be 10000 tons annual

Congressman sponsoring legisla-
ton for guayule rubber in our
southwest say the proposed new
plantations cannot produce for five
years, and then will yield only u.s.
600 tons annually. So there should
be no danger of competition - even
when synthetic rubber factories, be-
latedly financed by Jesse Jones, get
going. The big question for Latin
Americans is: Will they be favored
when it comes to long term rubber
production, or will the United States
go back to the Far East.

They call him the "King OF the

brings his famous WBRE orchestra
to the Ritz Ballroom in Bridgeport
Sunday, Feb. /. They come from
Wilkes Barre, PENN, and are known
throughout the Wyoming Valley for
popularizing the polka. In fact,
modern dancing has few devotees
there. Brunon enjoyed considerable
fame in Europe where he had a
style similar to Sammy Kaye's-that
Of singing song titles. In America
he is probably the most important
OF interpreters of Polish rhythm.
He features the accord1an and is
also an excellent vocalist. There are
many Pennsylvania folk in this ter

At the time Sir Henry Wickham
plucked his 10000 rubber seeds and
put them in his satchel, Manaos, the
rubber capital of Brazil, was one of
the most prosperous cities in the
world. To its opera house, one thou
sand miles up the Amazon, travel
led some of the most noted artists
of Europe.
Today, it's opera house is as de-
cadent as the once famous opera
house at Silver City, Colorado. Most
OF It's houses are over-groWn with
jungle vines; river service has been
discontinued. Today only about o.
600 tons of rubber finds it's way
down the Amazon and to the Uni
ted States, while the remaining
100000 tons, consumed by an Amer
lean public which lives on wheels,
has come from across the Pacific.
That is why one of the biggest
things Brazil cail do for the United
States today is TO help fill the rub
Der vacuum left by war. And al
though the political problem of a
united American front against the
Axis is grabbing the head lines at
this conference. rubber is one of the
most important questions being dis
cussed by the experts behind the
scenes
Untapped Wild Rubber Trees
Brazil has two opportunities in
connection with the American rub
Der shortage. One is an immediate
supply of rubber. The other is the
long distance supply, perhaps TAX
ing the place of Malaga. Rubber
trees take about seven years to de-
velop to the point where they can
be tapped commercially. And no
matter how many rubber trees are
planted Immediately in Brazil no.
thing can be done to make them
grow faster and supply the Amer
lean rubber demand any quicker.
However, Brazil has one great as
set which no other country in the
world can supply. 1t has a ire
mendous tropical forest of rubber
trees, growing wild, requiring no
cultivation, which can be tapped
Immediately. The wild rubber trees
Of the Amazon are estimated at be-
tween ten and twenty million. Most
of them have not been tapped since
the days of Brazils ancient rubber
boom. The chief problem, therefore
is labor What Brazil needs to tap
this vast rubber forest is an army
of Workmen able to withstand ma
laria and the fevers of the jungle.
U. S. experts are now discussing
this problem with Brazilian officials.
But they seem in no great hurry. At
first it was suggested that American
labor might be imported. Brazil,
however, has immigration laws
which might be barrier, and there
is some question regarding the use
of American workmen for jungle la
bor
No Rubber Surplus
Despite the red tape of Washing
ton and Rio, however, the fact re-
mains that this is the only imme-

Arnold Report
Reveals Greed
Wrecks Defense
Bx JOHN CARSON

Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold this week scath-
ed profit capitalism and Incl
dentally also scathed the economy
of scarcity and all of it's breed Of
piratical children.
Industrial greed for post war
profits has burdened the country
and delayed the building of ma
tional defense-is fair interpre-
tation of Arnold's annual report
to Congress in which he indicted
industry in general.
There is not an organized basic
industry in the United States
which has not been restricting
production by some device or
other. in order to avoid what they
call the ruinous over-production
after the war;" Arnold stated,
bluntly. He added that the con-
centration of defense contracts in
very few industrial groups "has
aggravated the danger of narrow
ing economic control"
Many interpretations of Arnold's
Indictment may be, and probably
will be made. But if the indict-
ment is accepted and then ana
lyzed, judicially, the one inevitable
conclusion which must be reached
is that the selfish profit system,
rather than individuals within the
system, is the enemy. Arnold's
statement merely echoes the
charges made by others, but he
is more specific in his indictment.
The economy Of scarcity to in
duce higher prices in the thought
that higher profits would result is
the logical cause of trusts ano
monopolies and insufficient produc-
ton Of aluminium and steel-and
II the oil trust had been successful
in its bogus Conservation cam
paign," oil might be added. 1t
may yet be because the oil trust
is still soldering patriotically
about conservatism"
Now that Arnold has opened the
doors for honorable discussion of
the plight the country faces in the
shortage of essential goods, more
discussion will result in Congress
where questions have been asked
privately and "confdentially" for
weeks.
The rubber shortage is no fake
Your correspondent is convinced
after long talks, and during many
weeks, with officials in OPM and
OPA that the drastic order which
bans the production Of any new
tires in 1912 for pleasure or non.
essential purposes, can be defend
ed. The classes of consumers to
whom tires may go, under a show.
ing of absolute need may be
changed. For example, the off,
cials worried at great length over
Greenbelt cooperator., 1942-02-06

that provision of the order whicn
denies tires for retail delivery
service, and there is reason to be-
lieve this part of the order may
be modified.
1--WE hope we may influence
reorganization Of retail delivery
service, consolidation of the serv,
ice during this emergency period"
one official said. 1--WE all know
there is tremendous waste in re-
tail delivery" When it was sug-
gested that suburbanites who lived
miles from a grocery store might
not be able to get tires for their
cars and might be denied retail
deliveries and thus forced to carry
heavy bundles for long distances.
officials nodded assent and then
added, at is true, very true, and
we wish we could avoid it, but we
see no other way out right now
We want to see how this will WORK
out"
If Arnold's official indictment
is not sufficient, then the Tolan
committee of the House which
mas been investigating migratory
labor piled on its criticism of the
automobile industry. The Tolan
committee decried the concentra-
tion of defense contracts in the
General Motors family and then
added that General Motors could
not fill the contracts it already has
in less than Is years.
