WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Lash-

in the Bahamas Assembly in a

Washington Over Top

BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. - This

The only difference is that today
most of the tourists wear uniforms.
If Norfolk, Pensacola, Miami

But I'll still argue that Washing

Berlin Also Bombed Again
Last Night : Other
Targets Smashed

FOrtresscs, following up the lnau-
gural dusk raid on Hitler's Europe,
probably the Allies biggest night
assault on the continent, bombed
naval installations at Nantes,
France, in the second f0ray in two
days. Nantes is the big French in
dustriaI center at the mouth of the
river Locra. Thunderbolts escorted
the FOrtresses.
LONDON, Sept. l6.-Berlin was
bombed last night in a widespread
aerial assault which included an at
tack on the vital rubber factory ct
Mont Luzon, in France, which fol-
lowed an early evening attack on
Paris aircraft plants and surround
ing French airfields. The United
States Eighth Air Force squadrons
thus made their first dusk flight.
The attack on Berlin was the frs;
on the Reich Capital City since the
dawn hours of September 4
and was presumably carried out b2
the RATS swift mosquito bombers
striking heavy blows.
Other fleets of the Raj, the ma
jority composed of 4-engined craft,
struck additional targets in North
west Germany.
Mont Luzon is only 43 miles
northwest of Vichy and was the
principal target in France. Mont
Luzon's factories supply tires for
Hitler's war machines.
The Vichy radio says the town OF
Chartres was also attacked but no
announcement of this is made by
the British Air Ministry.

Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
(naajor Robsrt Q. Allsn ON active duty.b


WASHINGTON-One of the last
things Big Bill letters did before
announcing his resignation as Rub
Der Administrator was to sit as ar
bitter in hot and very important
session between rubber workers and
rubber manufacturers over the
question of constructing more tire
factories.
The Big Four rubber companies
Goodyear, Firestone. Goodrich and
u. s. RUBBER had drawn up elab-
crate plans for new tire factories
in new locations, chiefly in Texas
and the South. Apparently they
wanted to break away from Akron.
The United Rubber Workers, wor-
ried over maintaining union men,
bership in the South, was much
opposed.
So letters listened to both sides
of the story.
United Rubber Workers President
s. H. Dalrymple came loaded with
facts and figures. He said the rub
Der companies had tons of tire
making equipment stored away. All
they had to do was wipe off the
dust, not build new plants, using
scarce strategic materials.
Spokesman for the rubber COM
panies admitted they had lot Of
tire equipment. but claimed it was
not enough to manufacture 10000
600 passenger tires needed for 1874.
JEFFERS STOMPS
Jeffers fstneed attentively, then
swung his weight vigorously on the
side of labor. He put his foot down
categorically on the itdustry's ex-
pansion program in the South.
Some plants will have to be ex-
panded," he said, "but do 1t in ex-
isting locations. Furthermore, some
Of your plants now doing war work
will be converted back again.
Take Kelly Springfield in Cum
berland tMaryland), Jeffers con-
tinued. They converted to an am
munition plant and set aside lot
of their tire-making equipment. But
Ordnance has now abandoned the
plant, and it can get back to pro-
duction Of tires. The same thing is
happening at the U. s. Rubber plant
at Eau Claire, Wisconsin."
Incidentally. Jeffers was irked
because the rubber companies sent
their third-string men, instead of
top executives. He felt strongly
that for such an important meeting
the industry should be represented
by such men as Harvey Firestone,
Jr.. or J. w. Thomas, President of
Ffrestone, or P. w. Ltchfield, Presi-
dent Of Goodyear. But they were
absent.
With a scowl at the industry's
representatives. LETTERS made crack
against the practice of driving
workers hard by something like the
infamous Bedaux methods.
What you fellows need" said
LETTERS, lis less stopwatch and more
common sense"
