Delay in Producing
Rubber Is Blamed on
DoIIar.a.Year Men
Senate Report Says
WPB Officials Feor
Postwar Competition
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee charged today that dollar
a-year men in the War Produc-
ton Boards Chemicals Branch
were holding up production of
synthetic rubber from grain alco-
hol because they were fearful of
postwar competition with COM
panies with which many of them
had been associated
Such meticulous care 10 avoid the
possibility of postwar competition.
the committee said. may bespeak
high degree of business shrewdness.
but it likewise portrays serious
failure to appreciate the necessity Of
keeping America on wheels and
winning the war"
The committee urged Senate ap-
proval Of legislation to establish
a rubber supply agency which would
be required to have rubber produced
from alcohol and cited evidence OBJ
tanned at hearings by subcom-
mittee headed by Senator Gillette.
Democrat, Of Iowa, in support of its
recommendation.
The subcommittee has had un-
disputed evidence presented to it by
outstanding chemists and engineers
of national reputation" the COM
mittee report said, TO justify the
conclusion that the quickest way to
bring about the production of syn
theuc rubber, with the use of the
least amount of critical materials.
is through the conversion of alcohol
from grain or forest products to
butadiene. the principal ingredient
necessary for the manufacture of
synthetic rubber
There is no explanation by any
responsible official of why this coun-
try In setting up program for the
production Of synthetic rubber gave
consideration only to untried labora-
tory experiments from petroleum,
the report continued, which will re-
uuire twice the time and many
times the critical meterlal needed
to produce the same synthetic rub
Der from alcohol.
The only plausible explanation
seems to be that the dollar-a-year
men in the chemicals branch of the
War Production Board were fearful
that the war might end suddenly
and that there might then be some
surplus industrial alcohol that would
provide competition for companies
with which many Of these officials
have been associated for long
period of time"
The committee also contended the
production of synthetic rubber had
been handicapped and delayed by
an apparent lack of coordination
within the governmental depart
ments charged with the problem.

tustifiable COMPLAINTS Mr.. CANA
| lier said
Several other grievances were
voiced by group of patients, mostly
men In their late 20s or early 30s. in
an informal conference held in one
OF the lounges after the officials
nnlshed their tour of the building.
Complain Of Treatment.
One OF these was that the nursing
and supervisory personnel treated
some OF the patients like criminals -
You d think We were in a penal
institution" one of them said. We
want to be treated like human
beings, This is hospital. We've
come her to get we'll
Another patient said one of the
supervisors had criticized him for
signing the petition. He said the
meals have been fine since the peti-
ton was drawn up.
This group of patients voiced COM
plete confidence in DR.. Finucane and
| other doctors on the staff. but said
they believed the superintendent
! didn't know of the conditions about
which they have been complaining
Both Commissioner Mason and
Mr.. Camalier agreed that DR.. Finu-
c>ne should be relieved of some of
his administrative duties so he
could maintain closer contact
with the patients and learn of their
problems.
Mr.. Camalier said that when he
makes his report on the investiga-
ton to Chairman McCarran he
would recommend that an adminis-
tratlve assistant be provided for the
superintendent.
Some OF the patients also COM
planned that the nurses list practi-
cally everything we do" on their bed
charts. Every time they complain
about anything 1t goes on the chart,
they said. Ever since the petition
was drawn up, some of the hospital
personnel have been calling a num-
Der of the patients "agitators' and
ring leaders"
Can't Stand Both.
Il don't see why the nurses
shouldn't treat us just like ordinary
hospital patients. You'd think we
were criminals" said one young
man.
He added. however that he could
stand the attitude of the nurses If
he got good food all the time.
But I can't stand both mean
nurses and poor food" he said.
The patients petition had COM
planned that any objections they
made were simply recorded on theil
bed charts and that officials of the
hospital refused to acknowledge
them. DR.. Finucane declared, how
ever. that any time a patient made
complaint. it was Investigated.
Celebrating on their objections to
the manner in which the food was
prepared and served, some of the
patients described to the investiga-
tors how they found hairs. pieces of
f1ngernail and pieces OF old tooth
picks in their food.
The Army can feed a camp of
10000 soldiers satisfactorily. so I
don't see why the 400 persons in
this building can't be fed properly -
