The Carolina shipper also ex-
planned that he couldn't get 60

A spokesman for the local OPA
said that reports of threats to
truckers and damage to trucks had
been received by his office but that
there was no evidence to substanti-
ate the story. He said he did not
believe any such conditions existed
here.
Meanwhile local dealers reported
that the flow of legitimate potatoes
into the District was gradually in
creaslng although the supply was
not yet anywhere near large enough
to take care of needs. Most of the
potatoes coming into this area. they
said, were coming up from South
Carolina
They expressed fear that a new
War Food Administration order, is
sued yesterday, which freezes stocks
in Georgia, the Carolinas and Vir-
ginia. may have the effect of block
ing the supply to civilian tables
Under the new order, the food
agency must be given the first
chance to buy potatoes for Govern
ment use. If they are not needed,
the potatoes may be shipped out
only under Government permit.
Dealers here said the order would
not necessarily stop black market
operations but would merely drive
them farther under cover At the
same time legitimate stocks would
first be grabbed up by the Govern
ment, which. the dealers say, has
been experiencing difficulty in get
ting supplies from farmers. Florida
has been under a similar order for
several weeks
According to Senator Maybank,
Democrat, of South Carolina the
OPA has agreed to continue a grow
er's ceiling price of $3.50 hundred
weight on South Carolina potatoes
for the remainder of the sales sea-
son. Senator Maybank said the Or
der already had been drafted and
would be released soon.
Under a recent OPA ruling. the
price of South Carolina potatoes
was raised from $3.50 a hundred
pounds to $3.50 but was supposed
to drop to 50 70 today. Senator May

ALGIERS, June 1.-Rumors of
disagreement in the one-day- old
Executive Committee formed by
Gems. Charles de Gaulle and
Henri Giraud to give unified di-
rection to the French war effort
circulated today, and it seemed
certain that difficult negotia-
tions we're ahead.
The committee was engaged in a
day-long session, however, and in
the absence of any official statement
concerning its proceedings there was
no definite information.
The most reliable informant said
there was some difference of opinion

Standard Of Jersey
Earnings Close 10

BY the Associated Press.
PENNINGTON. N. j.. June l.
Ralph w. Gallagher, president OF
the Standard Oil Co. New Jersey)
estimated today that earnings IN
the first half of 1943 would be very
close" to s43,0OO,0OO. or about the
same as in the first half of 1912.
Gallagher. speaking at the annual
meeting of stockholders, said ne
considered this very good record
since much of "our gas and oil has
to be handled at loss under today's
conditions"
Gallagher told the approximately
200 stockholders present that Stand
ards domestic sales we're up about
5 per cent in the first four months
of this year while foreign sales were
down about IS per cent. Gasoline
sales, other than aviation fuels, were

Der production in Baton Rouge will
approach 10000 tons a year when

month.
Standard of Louisiana now has in
full operation a butadiene plant
which is combined with styrene at

to make 10000 tons a year of buna
S rubber 1t is the first large plant
in the country to make rubber from
petroleum, the base product of more
than 100000 tons of the Nation S
program. Buna S is the all-purpose
rubber. especially adaptable for
making automobile tires
Butyl, rubber developed entirely
by Standard. is a special purpose
product. 1t is used for such things
as life RATS and inner tubes. 1t
retains air 40 times more efficiently
than natural rubber
Experts said postwar automobile
inner-tubes will be made of butyl
They said it would be necessary for
the motorist to have his tires in
flated about once year Nearly all
the butyl in the Government rub
Der program will be made here. The
plant is virtually in full operation
Butyl is made entirely from pc
troleum.
Buna N is another special purpose
rubber that is similar to Buna S.
though it does not possess the
abrasive equalities which makes
buna S so suitable for tires. 1t is
used mainly for gaskets. fittings and
other places where it comes in con-
tact with oil, which it resists effec-
lively.
While Standard officials were non
committal as to the postwar place
of synthetic rubber. the men who
operate the Copolymer Corps plant
said they considered their business
as permanent" An official envi-
stoned a synthetic automobile tire
which would last far longer than
the tire now known to motorists
He said it would be practically
puncture proof.
The Copolymer official said the
survival of synthetic rubber de-
pended on the ability of scientists
to make rubber more efficient than
