WASHINGTON. July Is flNS).
A thoroughly aroused Senate

tons rubber program has been
buneled and purported use OF un-
due influence by big tire makers
and oil firms.

Nelson Disputed;
Synthetic Rubber
Called Uncertain

In almost direct contradiction
to assurances of Donald NJ. Mel
son, War Production Board chief,
that enough synthetic ru b b Q 7
would be produced for vital war
reeds. Frederick c. Horner. chief
of the highway transportation
division of the war department,
warned today:
"Our salvation rests In the
production of synthetic rubber
and no one with good judgment
II willing to gamble now on how
much or how fast synthetic rub
Der will be produced"
Told that Nelson, in Detroit
four days ago, had been optimistic
about synthetic rubber, Horner
continued:
II wish no argument with Mr..
Nelson. But II is unfortunate
that any one should be making
statements or promises that
there will be enough rubber
even for vital war purposes.
II could make no such guar
antee."

his prepared address;
you have heard n lot OF
stories about the rubber short
age and n lot Of stories that
there IL no rubber shortage.
You have heard that trucks will
get all the rubber they need, and
that eventually they might not
get any rubber.
at Il only common sense that
when our sources OF supply are
cut off IL follows that present
stocks are NIL there In until syn
thetic rubber becomes available.
"But d counting all the

as saying:

ing Horner turned to liorner and

4 Deed WOrth1chiIc
Gg k4ek

Your hearts a little faster
When you do a deed worthwhile,
Your face has more of radiance
Because of little smile.
The suns a little brighter
Clouds are chased away
And flowers are strewn thicker
For those who right obey.
Your tasks a little easier -
The hills are not so steep, : i
You'll find lot of glory, &"S
In the harvest you may reap.
Your path you'll find is smoother
And your load a little lighter
And the very darkest places,
Will be a whole lot brighter. Il
The deeds you do must be worth
while,
If happy you will be,
There's no heart balm for ugliness
AS sure as you can see.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-(R
- The 1912 primaries have
counted out four incumbent
senators all Democrat and
10 House members, including l3
Democrats and six Republicans.
OF the "a Senators up for re-
nomination, "a were Democrats;
nine Republicans, and one indie
pendent. Nineteen Democrats
were renominated, four defeat
ed, and one, Green, Rhode Is
land, is expected 10 be renomi-
mated at q State convention late
this month. All nine Republic
cans won the right to run again
in November, and Norris, the
lone Independent, has yet to an
nounee whether he will run
again.
CASUALTIES NORMAL
Considering the number Of sit
ting members that ran again,
this is a normal casualty list for
off-year voting. 1t is not ex-
pected to be change much, II
at all, by the few State and dis
trict conventions and run-offs
still to be held in Rhode Island,
Connecticut Democrats n "
and Louisiana.
In the last off-year primaries
-l938-the Democrats lost four
senators and IL House members
The Republicans lost none In
either branch. In the presiden-
tial year of 1910, the Democrats
counted four incumbent defeats
in the Senate and the Republi-
cans one, and House casualties
were: Democrats eight, Republi-
cans two.

tionism, q lively issue before
