Gillette Is Forum Speaker
Rubber Problem to Be Discussed by
Agriculture Subcommittee Chairman

A discussion of the rubber prob
lem will be presented by Chairman
Gillette of a Senate agriculture SUBJ
committee which has been holding
hearings on the subject, IN the
National Radio Forum at $50 pm
tomorrow. The National RADIO
Forum is arranged by The Star and
broadcast over the Blue Network
The Gillette subcomittee has mad
before it a bill proposing to set up
a separate Government agency 10
deal with the rubber situation, both
for production and for distribution.
Many witnesses have been hearo.
Particularly the committee mas
looked into the question OF manu-
facture of synthetic rubber from
grain alcohol.
With conflicting statements re-
rarding the rubber situation coming
from various Government agencies
and from the industry itself, the
American people have been con-
fused. One thing stands out, how
ever, and that is the fact that this
country must rely on synthetic
products and rubber stocks still on
hand until the war In the PACING
has been won.

faculty at Des Moines. Mrs. Hobby
showed a similar reliance on the
high quality of the officers and aux
iliaries when reporters at a recent
press conference asked who would
define the "inconspicuous makeup"

decide that" flashed Mrs Hobby
The traditional military line will
be drawn between officers and en-
. listed men as far as dating" serv-
icemen is concerned. WAAC officers
are expected to see only officers
socially, and auxiliaries only en-
listed men. No bachelor officer may
take out a WAAC officer candidate

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The New
York Times says in dispatch from
Washington that reports received
in the Capital from unusually re-
liable private sources in the Orient"
indicate Japan is moving more sea-
soned troops to the frontier of Man
chukuo and Siberia.
These reports, the Times says, CO.
incide with belief held in Wash
ington that there was an under
standing between Japan and Ger
many that Japan would attack Rus
sia If Germany captured some spe-
cific Russian objectives, possibly
Rostov and Stalingrad.
The Times also said that few in
the Capital would be surprised If
Japan made an immediate attack on
Vladivostok.
Pointing to the recent Navy COM
munique stating that the japanese
still occupied three points in the
Western Aleutians, the Times says
this was interpreted as more likely
being a prelude to an attack on
Siberia and perhaps Kamchatka
than against Alaska at this time.

Importance along economic political
lines; but much remains to be done

full place in the political picture
locally, in the state and nation.
