,0O0,00O-Ton Output
Of Synthetic Rubber
Urged by Jones
New Plans Boost Shore
From Farm Products
To 100000 Tons

Secretary Of Commerce Jones
told Senators today that he had
recommended that the Nations
synthetic rubber capacity be
raised from present plans for
100000 tors year to 100000.
The Secretary also disclosed that
Government-financed plants for
converting grains and other farm
products into synthetic rubber would
be increased from present plans for
10000 tons to 100000 tons.
Secretary Jones told a Senate
Agriculture Subcommittee that off,
cials and advisers of the War Pro-
duction Board were responsible for
initial allocations of $3.50, 0,000, 900 for
synthetic rubber going to plants
that would use petroleum products
rather than grain and farm prod
ucts.
Told No Alcohol Available.
He said w. P. B. officials had re-
ported that no alcohol was available
for rubber making or that materials
to build plants were unavailable.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana asked Secretary Jones If
he would comment on a story by
a New York newspaper that r. F. C..
ALLEGATIONS of Government funds for
the synthetic rubber program had
been dominated by the Mellon-du
Pont- t-Rockeller interests and the
major oil, chemical and rubber in
terests.
II don't think what I would say
with regard to that would be good
reading in public" Secretary Jones
drawled as the crowd in the COM
mittee room laughed.
Idle Stills to Be Used.
Later Senator Wheeler suggested
that all whisky plants be converted
to alcohol production needed for
munitions or making synthetic rub
Der because I'VE now have large
enough stocks of whisky for the
duration of the war"
Secretary Jones, after conferring
with an assistant, said w. P. B.
officials soon would announce a
program for using all idle stills in
distilleries. including facilities now
idle that formerly made industrial
alcohol from molasses.

A New York Times dispatch from
Washington last night said q con-
flict between Gov. Sautot and High
Commissioner d'Argenlieu has pro-
duced such a state of administra-

plea.
The situation was said to be most
acute in New Caledonia, but was
duplicated to an extent in other
Free French regions such as Syria,
where the Free French were report
ed to be in controversy with the
British, and in French Equatorial
Africa.
Military elements in the Free

Bob Montgomery, Philadelphia

fered several months ago at the
hands OF Sammy Angott, light
weight champion. Montgomery. ac-
cording TO announcement made in
Philadelphia, will meet the champ

Angott holds two decisions over
Montgomery. but In the last bout
he gave the Philadelphia thor
ough going over, leaving no doubt
in the minds OF the spectators
about his superiority.
While the coming bout will not
be a championship affair, Mont

challenging position by scoring a
decisive victory. A loss will send
Bob bounding back TO the out
