Senators See
Tire Solution
Reclaimed Rubber
Nay Solve Problem

WASHINGTON, June 9 Up
A Senate committee consid-
ering a bill to permit the allo-
cation of $500 tons of crude
rubber and $4,000 tons of re-
claimed rubber each year for re-
Gaping and retreading of tires,
was told today that this would
permit operation of at least
20,000,000 passenger cars"
Il believe it has been def
nitely established" Senator Ell
lender CD-La) informed tn e
Senate B n k ing Committee,
that in order for this country
to carry on its war production
program and maintain a sound
civilian economy, we must have
at least that number of passen-
ger cars in operation"
Normally, there are about 80
100000 passenger cars in opera
ton.
Ellender, chairman Of a Sen
ate small business subcommittee
on tires, and introduCer of the
measure, explained the rubber
ALLEGATIONS would permit recap
ping or retreading of 10000, 900
automobile tires, without in any
way affecting adversely our war
program"
An average requirement of
from one and a half to two and
a half ounces of crude rubber
would be needed for each tire,
he said, as an adhesive to bind
the reclaimed rubber to the tire
carcass.
The total annual amount, he
added, would represent but a
fraction of one per cent" of
crude rubber stocks, which he
estimated at 100000 long tons.
The bill also would release
odd-size and sub-standard tires
now held by dealers and man
ufaCturers at the order of the
office of Price Administration.

big guns, apparently TO sink it,
though its crew was still aboard.
A little later destroyer
managed to get near enough to
remove at least some men.
All this time, Japanese planes
were circIing above, apparently
trying Vainly to land on the
smashed carriers.
Darkness began to fall. Gay
began to initiate his raft with
carbon dioxide contained in a
bottle attached to it.
Maybe it was a little earlier
than was wise" he said, but l
had had all the salt water l
wanted
During the night Gay made
several emergency patches on
the bullet holes in his raft, so IT
would sustain him properly.
There were great glowing patch
cS i'm the sky. He though that
perhaps Scarcnlights in Japan
csc rescue vessels were trying to
pick out men in the sea who had
abandoned the carriers.
There wasn't much else to do
so l tried to catch few winks
of sleep" he continued.
1t was near morning when he
was started from his troubled
sleep by three explosions. He
believes the Japanese had plant
ted demolition charges in the
carriers to sink them.
Several hours after sunrise a
navy patrol plane spotted Gays
rubber boat. A sea plane came
and picked him up.
AS he flew back he saw
graphically what had happen
ed On the battle area were life
RATS, debris and great oil
patches,
Gays wounds are not serious.
He is graduate Of Texas Agri-
cultural and Mechanical col
lcgC, a civil and mechanical en-
ginccr. and took his flight train
ing at jacksonville and Miami,
Fla.

other face saving attack on
American defenses in the Pa
cific.
Official reports said that be-
fore contact was lost, the enemy
suffered at least three warships
sunk, IL more heavily damaged
and the accompanying air arm
practically wiped out.
SLIGHT DAMAGE
United States losses we're
listed as one destroyer sunk, an
airplane carrier damaged and
an unsupported number of planes
destroyed
Meanwhile, Americans stirred
to graphic eyewitness &C
count of Japanese naval de-
struction as viewed by Ensign
George H. Gay, 25-yearold flier,
of Houston, Tex, who was shot
down and floated for "a hours
amid the flaming sea battle off
Midway.
Gay said he rammed tor
pedo into a Japanese aircraft
carrier of the 26,900-ton Kaga
class before being shot down
and then watched ". S. torpedo
planes score direct hits on two
other enemy carriers with re-
sultant internal explosions that
ripped their sides.
The young flier said he saw
American planes blast other
Japanese warships and watch
ed line of burning enemy ships
pass close by him, billowing
smoke and flames into the skies.

TURNS HIS PLANE
INTO OFFICE-HOME

In pcaCetimc Gen. Arno d
spends from 200 to 400 hours a
year i'm the air. His plane is
equipped as an office and a
home. Bedding is always on
board. And for a man who has
spent a good part of his life in
the air, Gen. Arnold is remark
ably proficient in ground activi-
ties. He COILS in the low eighties,
is a crack shot and fisherman.
Two of the generals three
sons are in the army, and his
daughter is married TO a naval
aviator. But before the war there
was nothing he liked better than
to spend hours making model
planes with his children.
Gen Arnold discovered many
other abilities when he started
doing things for his children.
The flying stories he started
writing for his sons amusement
turned into the popular Bill
Bruce boys books. And the ami
NAL cakes he made one Christ
mas to decorate the tree have
turned into an annual institu-
ton by popular demand.
Today, Of course, these hob
bics are things of the past and
future. Even with his great abil-
ity for work Che wrote his last
book by working from midnight
to 6 a. NO. hi" full time now is
too little to do everything he'd
like for the Army Air Force.
That's why, more than ever,
"he wants everything done yes
terday."

Yesterday Arnold got off to his
flying start in 1911, a young
Lieutenant Of infantry four years
out of West Point -- where he
acquired the nickname Hap"
(for Happy and an aversion 20

ster gave him his first chew Just
before a relay race). He won his
wings - and u. S. pilot license
No. % 49, after two hours and
20 minutes of FLYNN q at Inc
Wright Brothers school in Day

During the next few years
aviation history and Hap Ar
mold were almost synonymous,
He was the first flyer in the
world to report and regulate ar
tillery fire from the air; first air
mail pilot in the T. S.; first to
fire a machine gun from the air.
He would have been first to
drop a bomb from a plane had it
not been for the fact that his
plane would not take off with
both bomb and Arnold, and he
had to surrender his seat to a

Pine City Gridders
Down North Branch

In hard fought football contest,
Pine City defeated North Branch
Friday by score of 6 to 0. The
game was played at Pine City before
one of the largest crowds of the sea-
son. Bob Rypkema made the win
ming touchdown but failed to add the
point after touchdown. After Pine
City scored, North Branch opened up
passing attack which kept the Pine
City players on the alert. Gains of
20 or 80 yards were not uncommon
through the North Branch passes,
but when near the Pine City lads
goal, they failed to gain.
Friday afternoon Pine City goes
to Barnum to meet the strong team
of that high school and as both teams
have met and defeated the same
teams by large scores, it is thought
that this game is going to be hard
fought affair. After Barnum, Pine
City will meet Mora, this game being
scheduled for October 80 at Pine City.
