capacity.
Tank cars, fiat cars and cars con-

Troop movements and war freight

FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 15.-Be-
cause of an apparent error in a bill
passed by the 1912 General Assem-
bly,, it is illegal for members of the
Kentucky Active Militia to wear

ton of an officer or an enlisted man
of the Kentucky Active Militia shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than ST or
more than $40 y"
L. C. Turner, a member of the
Kentucky Statutes Revision Com
mittee, said the Legislature doubt
lessly meant the bill to say ANY
person who illegally shall wear = ;"
Mr.. Turner said. however. the bill
as now worded would be included in

and three more vessels damaged
two cruisers and a battleship-in
continuing attacks on British con-
voy in the Mediterranean, the Ital-

The new blows were credited by
the communique to italian air and

said were further dispersals OF "ele-
ments of a British convoy" yester-
day.
Another ship "of great tonnage
presumably merchantman) was
said to have been hit with heavy
bombs.
A motor torpedo boat. working in
to close range, was said to have hit
the destroyer. Both cruisers, one OF
them described as heavy, and the
battleship were reported to have
been hit by air-launched torpedoes
The communique said the battle
ship was hit in the PROV.
I'm addition, the Rome radio
today claimed one cargo ship
from the Malta-bound convoy
was torpedoed and sunk as it
tried to make port at Sousse,
French Tunisia. More than 200
convoy survivors were rescued
off the Tunisian coast Thursday.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.-To-

The young men who registered for possible mill
tary services this week born during the Pres-
denotes of Harding and Coolidge. The first World
War was history to them, as the Civil War was to
their fathers and they did not pay much attention
to the news until the Presidency of Franklin D. Roos-
evelt They are the bameless heirs of war and
peace which might have turned out differently II the
United States had not washed its hands of Europe.
They grew up under the shadow of depression, a
certain number of them in homes which unemploy-
ment had bghted That their hard luck. Their
good luck was to be born in generation which knew
more about what Dr. Holt called "the care and feed
ing of children" than any previous generation. On
the whole they are no doubt taller, healthier and
better educated than their predecessors OF eighteen
to twenty years ago
In some ways we oldsters cannot be easy in our
minds about them Yet we believe, with parental
pride that they are little wiser and better than
we were They may be called upon to take great
risks in defense of great and just cause, and some
will be killed crippled. The others will learn, too
early how cruel life be- They may also learn
how splendid it may be, in the thrill and pride OF
duty done under hard conditions. Twenty years from
now this will be their world. No human generation
has had a better chance to make it Drawer, finer
and happier world.

PATENT GUARDIAN

On october IL, 1889, after the war
started, Standards Frank Howard,
the man who has fitted behind the
scenes in the Washington rubber
picture, wrote letter telling how
he had arranged with I. G. Farben
in Holland to take over 1900 foreign
patents which the German firm
held, and keep them until the war
was over. The idea was to keep
these patents from falling into the
hands of an Alien Property Custod-
ian.
II was clear also that Standard
was planning to protect ]. G. Far
bens patents for it even though the
United States entered the fighting.
For Frank Towards letter of Octo-
Der IL. 1899, says that the safe
guarding of these German patents
would operate through the term of
the war, whether or not the United
States came in"
Now that Standard OF N. j. has
given these patents to the public by
a consent decree, Washington offic-
ialdom has not been too helpful in
letting independent oil companies
get the patent "know-how."
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1942-07-22
THE RUN-AROUND

Weidlein's reply, according TO
Starnes, was that no one could Sc
cure Standard Oils rubber patents
until they had been placed on the
list approved by the Committee OF
the Petroleum Industry.
So Starnes then went to the Of
flee of Petroleum Coordinator, which
replied: Wen put you on the APP
proved list when we o. K. your
plan" But the catch in that is that
it is difficult to draw up plan
until you know the secrets OF the
patented process and what mater
ials, etc, it calls for.
And today, two months later,
Starnes still has not been given the
secrets of the rubber process which
Standard Oil of New Jersey by a
consent decree said would be thrown
open to the public. Neither have
other smaller and independent oil
companies, anxious to produce rub
Der.
Thus the run-aromd continues.
Some of this run-around may be
necessary. Obviously it is no easy
job to build up rubber industry
overnight for the greatest rubber
consuming nation in the world. But
even allowing for excusable mistakes
and delays, it seems inconceivable
that there should have been SO
much stalling, so many failures to
try out different patents, and such
apparent discrimination in favor of
different groups and different pat
ent pools.
The history of synthetic rubber
in the United States is not going to
be a pretty one.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY. JULY %

Mingled good and evil are dis
cerned in the horoscope for today.
The morning hours are under adj
verse influences.
HEART AND HOME: Under this
configuration women may be I'M
certain regarding plans, apprehen-
sive in financial matters and in
clined to fear the worst. 1t is
day for intense activity and should
be fortunate for those who SEEK
the influence of persons in posi-
tons of power. Congenial work
NAV be obtained under this sway
which encourages employers to
make quick decisions. The stars
frown upon romance which may be
tinctured with midsummer madness.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Slowing
down of retail trade may be less
than usual through the heated term
in many cities. Migrations due to
war work will stimulate buying of
household goods of many sorts. Hos
tells and inexpensive summer resorts
will profit through vacation days
when mixers will be numerous. This
is an suspicious time to prepare for
autumn, exigencies. Bookkeeping
will become more and more extern
sive as Government war restrictions
compel expanding systems OF tax
recording and tax collecting.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Importation
of Mexican laborers will aid agri-
culture, especially in the West, but
it will revive old prejudices and
create new problems. Astrology
warns that the utmost justice
should prevail
INTERNATIONAL FAIR s:
New allies of the United Nations
will aid efficiently in repulsing fer
ocious attacks in various places.
Again warning is given OF sur
prises and betrayals on the part of
the Axis which will seek desperate
ly to gain victories in the air and
on the seas. Executions of innocent
hostages in occupied countries will
increase the trend toward revolu-
ton indicated by the stars. The
next fortnight is to be a time OF
most intense strain and most ex-
treme conflict.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of I'M
certainty. Hasty decisions should
be avoided. Unexpected benefits are
indicated for those who are stead

INDOMITABLE CHINA

Weak, sprawlng China, equipped with not SO
much handful of the implements of modern
warfare and apparently without the political bone
and muscle necessary for nfe and strength
ona body polite under the stress and strain of war
seemed utterly at the mercy of the Tokyo lords
when the so-caled China Incident" had its begin
ming trfle five years ago
1t the beginning Of more than an incident
events have proved. II the beginning of
long and desperate struggle which continues undated
and it the beginning of the of nterna-
tiona lawlessness which likewise continues undated
Modern China has found itself, found its strength
and found its national soul in the unequal struggle
with Japan, Only raw courage, ingenuity, vast dis
tances, and almost unlimited supply of manpower
have enabled the Chinese to fight against their
wel-armed and utterly ruthless adversaries.
Only of late has the Western World begun to APP
precate to a proper degree the heroic quality of
China's fight. Before experience with
japanese strength treachery the American people
had difficulty in approaching with what the people
of China having to contend
China has suffered grievously Her richer prov
have disappeared into the of the Nipponese
war machine. She is hemmed in and isolated, no
longer with access to the seas. How many millions
of her men, women, and children have persisted at the
hands CT the invaders the world may never know.
The cruelty designing lords of Tokyo have
used China testing ground for equipment, and
the bodies of the Chinese people the objects of ex
periments with the instruments of modern war
from tanks and bombers to flame throwers and poison
gas. And still China has survived-survived with
national will stronger today than ever before.
To an unreasonable degree, China and the West
ern World can thank Gener aliSsimo Chang Kai-shek
his American educated wife for this priceless
complishment. He and she have provided an indom-
liable intellect to go with the sheer courage which
for so long has been the shield of Free China
In the world to China may play glorious
role, but more glorious than she has played
through five long years Of heart wracking struggle
The Western World must not forget China today,
nor in the days to come
