oil industry today awaited appro-
val from Petroleum Co-ordinator
Harold Ickes before putting into
motion its offer to collect and sort
an estimated 100000 tons of the
nations rubber scrap
The proposal. formulated at a
meeting of the general committee
and functional subcommittee of
the petroluem industry for Is mid
west states, would use 100000 en-
ployes of the oil industry for pur-
chasing scrap of all sorts-inner
tubes, rubber mats, bathing caps
and other articles at one cent a
pound.
The rubber would be bought at
the nations 250,000 service stations
and stored at oil companies bulk
plants and warehouses. Amounts
collected would be reported to the
government.
Bernard l.. MajeWSki. national
chairman of the Marketing Asso-
ton of the American Petroluem

Warded the plan to Washington last
night.
MajeWski said if the proposal is
accepted by tonight the nationwide
collection of scrap rubber could
start Mono y anu would conclude

weeks to survey results before the
proposed midwest gasoline ration

Rubber Salvage
Campaign Slated

liam transportation needs. Some
government officials were Skeptical
that a salvage campaign would
solve the serious rubber shortage.
RATIONING OPPOSED
The war production board and
the office of price administration
have been urging nationwide gaso-
line rationing as a means of con-
serving the irreplaceable tires on
millions of automobiles. They would
limit the amount OF gasoline avail
able for non-essentail driving to
approximately four gallons a week.
Such plans have been vigorously
opposed by the oil industry. auto
mobile associations and both Re-
publican and Democratic congress-
men, About 100 congressman made
such a fuss over the prospects of
gasoline rationing in states where
supplies are plentiful that plans for
going ahead with such a program
have been at least temporarily
shelved
SALVAGE ESTIMATES
President Roosevelt called Tor the
rubber salvage campaign yesterday
to find out just how much scrap
rubber Is availble. Estimates vary
widely One report by the bureau
of census showed estimates 100000
tons apart.
Details of the rubber salvage pro-
gram must be worked out. 1t is not
certain yet which of the govern
ment agencies will handle it. How
ever. Petroleum Co-ordinator Har-
old l.. Ickes is scheduled to receive
from the oil industry soon an offer
to collect rubber scrap through the
nations thousands of filling sta
tionS.
The office of emergency manage
ment has been working on plans
for more general salvage CAM
paign that would have started with
in a month. 1t would have included
all scarce materials.

BY II. O. THOMPSON

WASHINGTON. June 10 tUP) -
An authoritative informant with
knowledge OF what is going on in
France said today that Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain has changed
his previous opinion that Germany
would win the war and now be-
lieves the Axis eventually will be
defeated.
Petain. this source said, is holding
out against German threats of re-
prisals which even contain hints of
maltreatment and starvation of the
l.500.000 French prisoners of war.
The people of France, he said,
fear that the expected United Ma
tions victory may be too long in
coming. the babies are hungry. the
mothers are worried and morale of
the nation is low.
But Petain is doing everything
he can TO help his people and,
according to the informant. his
tory probably will view him as a
Frenchman who did the best he
could for his country in an almost
impossible situation.
The Germans are eXerting con-

Cooperation May
Ease Cargo Crisis

WASHINGTON, June 10 tUP) =
A saving of 25 per cent in ocean
shipping space needed for the Unit
ed Nations war effort may result
from the establishment of the Brit
ish- American war production board
authoritative sources estimated to-
day.
Further economies in scarce car
go also may be achieved through
the creation of the Anglo-Ameri-
can food board.
The two new agencies. designed
to combine war and food produc-
ton efforts of the two countries,
were announced yesterday by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on behalf of him.
self and British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill. Donald NJ Mel
son, war production board director,
ard Oliver Lyttelton. British mini
Ster of production, will form the
production board. The two members
of the food board will be Secretary
of Agriculture Claude R Wickard
and R. H Brand, chief of the Brit
iSh food mission here.
THREE OBJECTIVES
An authorized spokesman said
these three objectives were the i'm
mediate goals of the new setup:
l. Saving of shipping space thru
ALLEGATION of production in such q
way that supplies could be moved
from the producing area closest
to the war theater for which they
are intended In some caSeS-Such
as India-machine tools and equip
ment might be moved in to set
up local manufacturing units.
2. Standardization as far as pos
Sible of weapons used by the Unit
ed Nations SO that ammunition and
parts would be interchangeable.
3. Consideration of the total
United States British production
capacity as one vast industrial en-
pire to gain a maximum of ef-
ficiency from existing machinery.
Only the two countries were in
cluded in the plan because other
United Nations powers are not pro-
ducing war materials sufficient to
meet even their own demands, and
thus have no shipping problem.
Mr. Roosevelt made clear, however,
that Canada would participate in
an% point action through her men,

Gil.

bath, sink, etc.
3. Cooking facilities.
Air conditioning-a blower

There are only one-third as
many laborers now working on the
Seeley project as will be needed
before the job is over. There are
now about 200 men working with a
payroll of approximately $4,000 a
week. The total payroll will prob
ably reach over $4,000 weekly be-
fore the job is completed, Macke
estimated.
MONEY STAYS HERE
OF this amount the workers will
spend at least half in Ell Centre,
the superintendent estimated. So
it is imperative to keep them salts
fled in order that they stay here
as long as possible. They will not
be satisfied when the rents are high
above normal
The vale" projects have been de-
clared vital to coast defense ano
must be built as quickly as possible,
Macke said They have been given
an Al rating.
Relief by means of government
built housing projects cannot be
expected, Macke said, because OF
the short time allotted for con-
struction of the bases. So the load
OF providing housing facilities for
the men will fall directly on FL
Centro and other valley towns.
Macke urged that all citizens
having places for rent get in touch
with the chamber of commerce be-
cause in all defens areas the cham
her off ces are set up as housing
headquarters. Not only should pri-
vate citizens list their houses there
but also real estate agencies, he
said Due credit will be given the
agencies in renting
IF the workers are not satisfied
thev will write home that Imperial
Valley is the first stopping place
on the way to hell, but if they're
satisfied they'll say that's it's hot
but still a good place to work, .
Macke said
Patriotism expresses itself In
nnenr ways, and one of them is the
willingness of the landlord to fur
niSh quarters reasonably so that
workers will remain to complete a
vital defense project" he added.

You may have also noted that
Hitler did no, Join in the predio-

the people that the German armies

German people that the war has
been we'll worth while for them,
and his warning as to the dire
