part Of what is called the "Jer-
sey'' pool, or the group of oil CON-
panies dominated by Standard Oil
of New Jersey which received the
contracts for the 81 new rubber
plants from Jesse Jones's Rubber
Reserve. In helping to award these
contracts to the companies with
which he was once affiliated,
Dearborn, together with other
Rubber Reserve officials and Jesse
! Jones. passed up several other i'm
portant rubber processes consid-
cred by many scientists to be
much quicker and cheaper.
TWO TYPES OF RUBBER
How Dearborn got his appoint
ment and why the Standard-Texas
group was so favored by Rubber
Reserve is not known. Some OBJ
servers point to the old friendship
between William Parish, S144,O0O
president of Standard Oil of New
Jersey, who knew Jesse Jones for
years in Houston. Jones and Ross
Sterling, then president of Stand
ards Humble Oil company, were
partners in various enterprises.
and Parish, later president of
Humble, grew up under them.
On the other hand, some point
to the fact that Standard Oil of N.
Us patent pool with the Germans
made their synthetic rubber patent
the most logical one to use.
Actually, though most people
don't realize it. Standard of N. j.
had two types of rubber regarding
which it was cooperating with Ger
many. One was buna rubber,
which was the product of slow
process. The other was butyl rub
ber, which is newer, cheaper and
quicker.
Regarding these two types, here
is the inside story of what hap.
pened. About ten years ago, Stand.
ard of N. J. acquired 1. G. Far.
benindustrie's patent on buna rub
Der with the understanding it
would not be made in the United
States; while I. G.. Farben ac-
CURED Standards patent on syn
thetic gasoline with the under
standing it would not be made out
side Germany
Once Hitler came into power he
proceeded to make both synthetic
gasoline and buna rubber in Ger
many and make great deal of it
obviously in preparation for what
he knew was coming.
That Standard Oil of N. ]. clear.
ly knew why Hitler wanted to keep
buna rubber from being developed
outside Germany can be proved
beyond any doubt. For on April
4, 1888, at time when Roosevelt
was sending notes to Hitler warn
ing him regarding Austria, Spain
and Czechoslovakia, Frank How
ard, head of Standard of N. j.
Development Corporation, report
ed that Germany had not SUR
rendered full information regard
ing buna rubber, and refused be-
cause of military expediency to
permit I. C. to reveal such infor-
nation to anyone outside of Ger
many"
Frank Howard, incidentally, is
the figure who fits in and around
Washington constantly and has had
more to do than any other private
oil man with the 81 big rubber
contracts going to Standard, Texas
and affiliates.

Sales Secrets

BY. DOROTHY WILLIAMS

Gone till we win the war are
the days Of subtle sales psychology.
That, in effect, Is what Detroit
retailers are learning today as
they receive educational visits
from some 100 inspectors from
the Office of Price Administra-
ton.
And a high percentage OF them
ARE finding they have not been
complying with the price ceiling
regulations.
No longer can the price of
merchandise remain a secret until
the psychological moment to cinch

Learning to Walk
But Safely So Police Give Warning Tickets
to Volators Of New Pedestrian Law
BY JANE sCHERMERHORN

1t was like learning to walk all
over again for many Detroiters as
the police department launched a
one-week training period during
which printed warnings are being
handed to all jaywalkers.
This week, those violating the
new pedestrian ordinance are be-
ing warned. Beginning next Mon
day. guilty ones win be ticketed.
obliged to make court appear
ance and possibly pay a fine.
AS the training period opened.
police spent busy day with jay
walkers, who are the most sur.
.prised persons on earth when in
|terrupted by the sound of a human
and-protesting voice in the midst
|of jaywalking.
POLICE CONFUSED, TOO
"What do you want ?" they'd
demand testify Of policemen who
pressed the warning ticket into
unwilling hands.
Not only jaywalkers were baf-
fled Police confessed they were
hazy on just who should be given
the warning cards and for what
reasons.
One officer confused pedestrian
violations with motor rules, and
told an indignant woman she was
being warned for improper horn
equipment. A prominent politician
took his warning so seriously he
was late to a rally because he
thought he had to walk the right
way on one way streets.
Still another man had been inn
pressed to the point where he
stopped with street cars all the
way back to his office.
JAYwALKERS SPOTTED
Jaywalkers could be spotted
though standing still by the guilty
looks they took on at every inter-
section.
II must be admitted that most
of those given the warnings were
women. One blamed her violation
entirely con the 3-year-old child
she was tugging along on the shop
ping tour.
"She's so strong" said the
Amazon of a mother, gazing
fondly down at her child. "She
pulled me right off that curb
into the traffic.
ANOTHER VIOLATION
walking with your child out
Of control In an offense Also"
said the nice, tall cop at Wood
ward and State.
One thousand warning tickets
were issued to Detroit jaywalkers.
One thousand jaywalkers were
hurt and stunned by an interior
ence with their precious rights.
The pedestrian protection ordi-
nance finds three punishable vio-
lations in its present form. These
are:

FAULTY SIGNS FOUND

Signs in a women's specially
shop were faulty because they did
not stipulate "our ceiling prices
over their group markings.
Here Ward instructed the own
ers that concealed merchandise
must be marked clearly with the
ceiling prices posted on the out
side of the stockroom.
"Style items don't have TO be
marked" Ward told the owner.
However, where cost Of living
commodities of different prices
are grouped, each item must be
marked with price ceiling In full

ithout damaging delays, Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor, in his capac-

land, has inaugurated, with mark
ed success to date, policy of
calling conferences to determine
decisions on all vital cases.
AS result of a meeting with
Federal, State and City officials,
and representatives of industry,
labor and transportation, held in
the Governors Baltimore office,
he has named a committee of nine
with a subcommittee of three, to
speed up inauguration of a ferry
service across Baltimore Harbor
to serve the large shipbuilding
and other defense industries of the
Curtis BayFairfield Area.
Represented at the conference,
and working in close harmony
with the governor, were represen-

of Defense Housing Coordination,
and the Public Roads Administra-

Railroad Starts Work
On Hyattsvi|Ie Spur;
Completion Due Soon
Relocation of Track
Authorized Despite
Many Protests

Work already has started on the
relocation of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad freight spur across the
Baltimore boulevard in Hyattsville
it was learned today.
officials said the work began
about two days ago and probably
will be completed within a week.
The new spur will be located about
rs feet south of the present line at
the foot of the railroad overpass in
Hyattsville.
The State Public Roads Commits
sion had refused to grant a permit
for the work, but was overruled
by the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton, which described the relo-
Gated spur as necessary to the war
effort.
The relocation also has been op-
posed by the American Automobile
Association, the Prince Georges
County Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations and various trucking Or
ganizations.
These groups maintained that the
relocated spur would constitute a
traffic hazard since there would be
no f1agman and traffic coming down
the overpass would be unable to
avoid striking the proposed auto
matte gates to be placed on either
side of the new spur.
