CONFESSIONS IN RECORD
Before the trial started the FBI
had indicated that some or all of
the saboteurs confessed their
treacherous plans to their Oman
captors. Yesterdays communique
by Maj. Gen. Frank R. Mccoy,
president IF the military commits
sion. contained an indication that
these confessions may have been
read into the record. He referred
to documents" the nature of which
he did not divulge.

Alcohol Rubber
Process Quickest

WASHINGTON, July 11-UP)-
Inspection of Philadelphia plant
producing synthetic rubber from
grain alcohol brought sharp disa-
greement today between officials Of
the war production board and the
office of price administration over
the future course of rubber produc-
tion.
WPB Rubber Ccordinator Arthur
B. Newhall said the present syn
thetic rubber program is too far
along to justify any changes in
schedule for the manufacturer OF
rubber substitutes. mostly from
petroleum.
But OPA's William S. B. Lacy
said the only logical thing" for
the government to do rs to make
quick change-over in its rubber
program from petroleum to grains. q"
In this recommendation, Lacy had
the approval of senate agricultural
subcommittee headed by Sen. Guy
M Gillette. D., Ia, who took the
officials, plus representatives Of the

QUICKEST PROCESS
According TO official reports. the
plant turns out butadiene, the
basis for synthetic rubber. from
grain alcohol in a single step. Lacy
told reporters the process can pro-
duce rubber at less expense, with
fewer critical metals, and much
quicker than "sny petroleum pro-
cess can possibly do" 1t is the
only way, he added. to get butadiene
in time to do the country any
good"
The WPB now has plans to make
100000 tons of synthetic rubber a
year, but only 100000 tons are to
be produced from the grain alcohol
process. The remainder will come

the prettiest girl in town. Boys
were beginning to be interested
in Cassandra. Only yesterday
Miss Venerable had noticed a
legend chalked on the walk:
Drake McHugh loves Cassan-
dra Tower"
Miss Venable grinned. Those
inscriptions multiplied in tn
spring of the year. -
Yes" she agreed, Drake
McHugh would be in love with
Cassandra."
Drake was watching Cassan-
dra now, his long faun eyes
slinting a little under his brows
that grew shaggily together ov-
er the bridge Of his arched nose,
Drake, robust, deep-chested, hair
always falling into his eyes. "A
regular boy" most people said,
but Sally Venable was not Sc
sure of that. He was open and
frank, but his mouth was trifle
loose for so young boy. 1t was
likely to 60 slack and sensual in
a few years, unless
Drake gave up his fruitless og-
ling of Cassandra Tower. That
lovely creature was far away on
an island with the Swiss Robin
sons. Cassandra's oval face re-
NAMED as ivory-cool and pale as
always, although her eyes were
excited. Odd eyes-very cold.
She always had that startled
look, distended pupils, strained
look about her nostrils, her thin
curved lips compressed.
Drake McHugh leaned for
ward and whispered something

Stocky and broad-shouldered.
Vitality showed in his warm col
oring and in the heavy eyebrows
arched high over large hazel
eyes. A slight shadow showed
on his upper lip, although he was
only IL. He had a quickness
of motion that bespoke Latin
blood. That ripping motion of
his hands, for example. He was
the only boy in Kings Row who
studied music.
Randy Monaghan, on the other
side of Paris, had her atten-
ton derailed by the movements
of the two boys. She leaned
forward and looked under Cas-
sandra's desk. A grin, shrewd
and a little coarse, widened her
mouth. Randy was common, but
with frank and engaging COM
monness.
She made a low sibilant
sound. Both Drake and Paris
looked back. Thrusting her knee
from under the desk, she snap
ped a red elastic garter and
grinned again.
Miss Venerable drew in her
chin and screwed her head 20
one side to look at the gold
chatelaine watch she wore pin
ned to her blouse. Thank heav-
en-, only 10 minutes more and
she could 60 home and change
to cooler clothes.
The hands of Miss Veneable's
watch pointed to 4. She tap
ped on the desk, and instantly
the room buzzed.
Quiet, quiet! Clear your
desks"
Hats were distributed quickly
by boys and girls who were ap-
pointed weekly to this privilege
as a reward for good behavior.
Miss Venerable often wondered
why it was considered a privil-
ege.
Peyton Graves, q quiet boy in
school, but noisy one outside,
slapped each hat down on the
desk in front of its owner as he
! moved rapidly UP the aisle.
