Washington, oct. 8 - A new APP
proach to the tremendously delicate
problem Of how to get alnog with
Russia may be tried any day now.
At the first meeting Of the new
three power political commission
that is hopefully termed "perma-
nent", the Anglo american dele
gates scarcely can be blamed II they
try the experiment Of substituting
for their wonted democratic cour-
tesy some Of the plain speaking that

ment-insplred criticisms of our dip
lomatic and military policies. We
have taken 1t because Of the I'M
daunted courage and sacrifice with
which the Russians were bearing
the heaviest ground fighting in
what Is also our war.
RUSSIANS LACK FACTS
Their present great successes
are expected to buttress the view
point Of their representatives on
the political commission.
But now 1t is reported that the
British American viewpoints also
may be hutteressed by plain speak
ing about some military facts Of life
that few Russians outside the
Kremlin know. and that their
admirers In this country ignore.
We can say to the Russian dele
gates:
Sure, you saved us last year -
and thanks. But we're saving
you this yearl Sure, your often

ity and restlesSneSs. This restless
ness seeks some expression, and war
Is one such outlet.
These electrical discharges,
Wood said, stimulate human be-
ings to both increased physical and
mental activity"
Asserts Weather Repeats
He came to these conclusions
while investigating the relationship
between sun spots and the levels
Of rivers and lakes. A study Of the
Nile from records going back ID
622 A. D., together with study Of
sun spots have convinced him that
the Nile was high when sun spots
were numerous and vice versa.
Out Of Is studies came the be-
lief that weather, influence by the
sun, fairly well repeats itself every
1888 years.
The weather Of 1888 years ago at
a given spot was approximately the
same as 1t Is today" Wood said.
And 1888 years from today 1t will
be about the same again.
after the war, science will be
able to reveal some Of the secrets
wrested from nature during the
war. The public will be astonished
at the accuracy with which weather
will be forecast.
For example, forecasters will be
able to predict definitely that, say,
10 days hence the temperature will
be exactly II degrees below Zero"

He said Goodyear is stepping up
Its tire-making capacity by con-

Other rubber manufacturers also
are converting war plants to tire

The biggest immediate obstacle
to increased synthetic production,
