Independent Dealer
Cha|IengesH Henderson
On Rubber Supply
Says Available Serop
Could Keep Civilion Cars
Going for Durotion

Challenging Price Administrator
HenderSon's appraisal of the Ma
tion's rubber supply problem. an in
dependent rubber dealer today de-
clared careful check of the avail
would prove there is no need for the
American people to be deprived Of
/ their cars during the emergency.
The dealer, Elliot E. Simpson Of
New York, head of the Drexsage Co.
+ and several other rubber firms, said
/ he had read with some astonish-
ment' Mr.. HenderSons statement to
/ the Senate Defense Investigating
Committee that the Government
might find it necessary to requisition
tires from private pleasure cars.
Enough for Civilian Needs.
! Declaring that Mr.. Henderson's
sources of information must be in
competent" Mr.. Simpson said there
is enough scrap rubber available in
the United States to meet the civil
ian retreading needs of American
car users for the duration. Con-
servalve estimates, he said, place
the total Of scrap available at s.
900 900 tons
(Aides of Price Administrator
Henderson said yesterday there
was no immediate" plan TO con-
fiScate tires from private car own
ers. Mr.. Henderson had said that
the possibility of confiscating tires
and devoting them to uses
deemed essential had been dis
cussed, but no decision had been
reached. 1t was emphasized that
he was speaking of the indefinite
future, and that such step
would be taken only if 1t was con-
sidered absolutely necessary
Mr.. Simpson said that the civilian
supply chief, in stating that the
c0untry'S reclaiming facilities are
only 350000 tons year, apparently
oVerlooks the fact that these facil-
ties could be expanded to million
tons or more by refixing machinery
now installed in manufacturing
plants and in secondhand ma
chinery available in dealers stocks.
Could Retread g., ,OOO, 900.
One tire manufacturer. the Nor
walk Tire & Rubber Co, of NorWalk,
Conn, has proved, he declared, that
: with 1000 tons of crude rubber and
some of the available reclaimed rub
ber, it can retread 35,000,0OO passen-
ger cars this year. Even without the
crude rubber, a satisfactory camel
back could be made out Of reclaimed
rubber. he added.
Mr. Simpson said he had heard no
Government expert mention one big
source of scrap rubber-crepe rub
ber-sole shoes Estimating there are
between 25000,000 and $4,000 900
pairs of these shoes in the country,
he said enough crude rubber could
be produced from them to retread
every passenger car 'for the next
10 years"
The dealer also said it was difficult
to understand Mr. Henderson s
statement that there was little hope
of getting substantial amounts of
rubber in the near future from Bra
zil, in view of the fact there are
thousands of tons of rubber avail
able in the upper regions of the
Amazon River, as well as other parts
of South and Central America

Reynolds Advocates
Air Attacks on Japan
Via AIeutian Islands
Congress Members
Call for Speedy Action
By United Motions
Py the Associated Press.

py the Associated Press.
Use of the Aleutian Islands as a
base for full-scale attack on Japan
was advocated today by Chairman
Reynolds Of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee.
Other members Of Congress were
calling for speedy offensive action
by the United Nations.
Senator Reynolds, who has hunted
walrus in Alaska, told reporters he
believed the long chain of American
islands extending westward into the
Pacific from Alaska offered an ideal
iumping-off place for an assault on
Japan which could be timed with
northward offensive action from
Australia.
Sees Java's Fall Near.
Saving Java was likely to fall
soon to the Japanese. the Senator
added it was likely that the Nip
ponese would concentrate their ef-
forts thereafter on trying to fight
their way through India toward
possible juncture with German
forces at the Persian Gulf in the
Middle East.
II an all-out Jap attack on Aus
Ealia were delayed. Senator Reyn-
olds said he had no doubt the United
Nations would gather sufficient
forces in the Antipodes to launch
an offensive to retake the Neither
lands Indies and island stepping
stones northward toward Japan.
Senator Reynolds said that while
this was taking shape the United
States would do we'll to strike lard
from the Aleutian bases with ell OF
the force 1t could muster in that
area.
Senator George. Democrat. OF
Georgia said he was Of the opinion
that if this country could move 1000
TO 500 fighting planes of all types
into the Aleutians and provide the
necessary facilities and ground
crews. a long stride could be made
toward delivering crippling aerial
blows to Japan.
Thomas Urges Offensive.
American bombing Of military in
stallations on the Japanese Islands
has been urged by Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Utah. who declared in
a message broadcast to the Japanese
in their own language last night that
one by one the areas their armies
had occupied would be Iecaptured
and freed by the United Nations.
Senator Thomas made no predic-
tions when such an offensive would
get under way, but other members
Of Congress have been urging that
the Allies strike out bold!J ut once,
even if not fully prepared.
However, Senator Bailey, Demo-
crat. of North Carolina said he
thought the United Nations would
make a serious mistake in attack
ing anywhere before they had su-
periority in the air, on land and on
the sea.
We should not take the offensive
until we are able to sustain it." he
declared. only sustained Of
fensive can win for us and we don't
want any more Dunkerques."

The figures indicate that a large
number of consumers continued TO
follow their customary practice of
buying coal on a hand -to-mouth'
basis, and are depending upon un-
interrupted production and trans
portation schedules to keep them
supplied with COAL" Mr. Gray said.
There still is ample mine and

to build up stockpiles as insurance

u. S. Planes Too Strong in Air,
JOBS Hunt Them at Their Bases

Mr.. Probak said that in his opin-
ion more aircraft probably have
been destroyed on the ground in
Java than In the air.
Airdrome raids, he added, were 80
swift that only q tremendous cur
tain of anti-aircraft fire could keep
the attackers from their objective.
The lesson for Australia, apart
from the fact that the protectional
fighter is replacing the anti-aircraft
batteries around airdromes, is that
underground and other bombproof
storage must be provided for air
planes" the broadcast said.

Moyse Is we'll known throughout

In todays hand Moyse avoided

TO KNOW OR NOT TO KNOW
knowledge banisheS the greatest
allies Of cancer. Those allies are
Dread, Doubt and Delay.
In my files are numerous letters
from people who have learned by
reading this column Of the possible
significance Of some neglected con-
dition and sought proper examina-
ton which revealed cancer early
enough to obtain an apparent cure.
But the gratitude expressed by
these people for the knowledge
which enabled them to get the
benefit Of taking It in time Is Offset
In part by the criticism by other
people who condemn as nischievous
and against public welfare the
printing Of any description Of can
Ger which might cause a reader TO
imagine he has 1t.
don't know, maybe there are
people, even intelligent people, who
would rather remain IN Ignorance
or In doubt than know whether
their trouble Is or is not cancer.
Probably such people compose a
majority Of the unfortunases who
procrastinate or put of consulting
physician or submitting to opera
ton from Dread of 1.-THE knife. IT
would be boon to humanity II
these people who succumb to Dread
could hear what the thousands and
thousands Of patients who submit
to operation have to say about their
experience. They would soon real
lie at least that Dread OF "the
knife" or Of operation is q childish
fear not founded on actual expert
ence.
Any human being who voluntar-
ily remains in Doubt as to whether
or not he or she has cancer Is bound
to worry over it, and worry Is a
health destroying emotion - the
longer one worries the more ones
health fails and the progressive
failure In health naturally makes
one worry all the more about the
nature Of the trouble. II that isn't
the course Of an iInbecile I'd like to
know what you can call 1t.
Radical and early surgery, X-ray
and radium are the only possible
cancer cures known today. Some
times one Of these remedies alone
NAV be sufficient; sometimes surg
cry Is best employed after q course
of x-ray or radium treatment; and
sometimes x-ray or radium treat
ment should be applied following
surgery to prevent recurrence OF
the cancer In or about the area
from which 1t has been removed.
ANY one who has undergone OPP
Grafton for cancer knows that there
Is no suffering during operation
ana his or her condition after OPP
GRAFTON is at least less distressing
than 1t would inevitably become II
the cancer were not so treated.
