NEGROES HELPING
TO PRODUCE A SECRET
GREASE FOR STANDARD
OIL co. OF NEW JERSEY

How an important part was
played by an American Negro in
helping produce in record time
thousands of pounds of a secret
grease urgently needed overseas by
General Dwight Eisenhower was
revealed by the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey in an
nouncing the production of the
vital war material.
Outstripping even its own high
production records to turn out in
a matter of hours the special lu-
bricant, the technicians of Stand
ard Oil figured in a colorful drama
that matches present-day movie
thrillers.
Not disclosing the purpose for
which the grease was to be used,
General Eisenhower recently cab
led the U. S. Army Ordnance De
partment ordering the lubricant.
Ordnance officers turned over the
order to the Standard Oil Com
pany of Ne wJersey requesting
$4,000 pounds quickly for IAN i'm
portant war operation"
Assigned the job of making the
grease, workers at the Standard
Oil plant at Baltimore were told
of the Importance of their assign
ment and were held in instant
readiness to start the grease max

to be done, Edward Harris, COL
ored, Assistant Greasemaker at the
Pittsburgh plant, along with his
co-workers, declared that they
would neither eat nor sleep until
the job was done. The Pittsburgh
grease kettles were driven night
and day without a let-up and
Harris carefully watched them to
prevent a breakdown.
Then the sub-contractor notified
the Army that it could not COM
plete its part in producing the
grease. To the Pittsburgh plant
fell the task of making the ad-
ditional 10000 pounds.
The grease kettles continued to
operate without showdown and
Harris and his fellow greasemak-
ers turned out the grease for over
"a hours without food or rest.
AS fast as the grease was made
1t was sped east / nrailroad ex-
press trains. When the final 2z'-

Totalling the amount OF grease
made. Standard OIL discovered
that 245,554 pounds were manu-
factured-554 pounds more than
were requested by the Army. Al
the same time. Ordnance OFFICERS
revealed that speed was OF sucn
paramount Importance that neith-
er standard Oil nor the Army
mentioned the price of the grease
When all of the grease was de-
livered to General Eisenhower, he
cabled, THE grease has been re-
ceived and is doing a satisfactory
job"
For their work in producing the
grease in record time, Harris anc
other greasemakers from the Pitts
burgh and Baltimore plants. were
commended by Army Ordnance of

ing machines.
Three hours late, the ingredients
arrived at 1880 A. M. on a We'd
nesday. The plant then went into
furious action to make the grease
which never before had been made
in this country.
Turning continuously, the huge
dies, turned out 1900 pals of
grease totaling $1,000 pounds by
Friday night, and fleets of Army
trucks formed conveys to rush it
to a ship ready to sail for Africa.
BY Saturday night an additional
$1,000 pounds were made, but op-
Grating under intense strain, the
belts and paddles on most of the
kettles broke down. Despite this
serious handicap, the final 5000
pounds, completing the order, were
delivered on time Sunday night.
The Ordnance Department then
suddenly asked Standard Oil to
make 100000 pounds more, to be
delivered ninety-six hours after the
first order
With the Baltimore plant use
less because of the breakdown of
kettles, Standard Oil sublet the
contract for 10000 pounds to an
other firm, furnishing it with the
secret formula. The remaining
10000 pounds were assigned to
the standard Oil plant at Pitts
burgh. Army trucks from various
eastern points were rounded up to
rush the ingredients, including
some fats salvaged by housewives,
to the Pittsburgh grease kettles.

So they came TO me for help and
with certain information which
they had imprudently withheld

Stockings Use Shorter Staple
Cotton, ButW lear Just AS Long
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Star Cnrresnnndentl

Washington, Oct. Is - Cotton
stockings made Of shorter STAPLE
cotton are forecast by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture to relieve
threatening textile shortages,
Military needs for long-staple
cotton for parachute harnesses,
airplane cloth and other war fab
RIGS are using up reserves. Previ-
ously, stockings were made only
from long staple cotton. The ex-
perimental station at Beltsville,
Nd, has succeeded In using the
more plentiful shorter staples for
stockings with a high standard Of
durability and elasticity.
PLASTIC IN THE WOODPTLE
A new material for plastic which
can be nodded into buttons, hard
wood for table tops, or knobs for
drawers Is being salvaged from lig-
min, . waste by-product Of paper
making. Lignin can now be con-
verted into a shiny black substance
which promises to be one Of the
cheapest and most abuntant plas-
tics.
WHAT SOY?
Shoppers who start looking for
the much publicized soy beans are
apt to be disappointed. Most mar
kets will have soy -four and grits
but no beans. That's because the
special varieties used for sproutins

much In this country. Our huge
soy-bean crop is an oil crop. The
residue from the oil is made into

About I'VE million pounds Of soy
food has gone overseas disguised
as various national dishes Soy and
pork links 60 TO the British, soup
mixtures to the Russians, Greeks

ODDS AND ENDS
New larger supplies Of leather for
shoe repair will be available this
month. New ceiling prices have
been placed on all types Of lug
gage. They will vary from store to
store but prices must be attached
TO each piece Of luggage. An
alltime record q. 8. rice crop has
been produced in 1913, but harvest
is threatened by acute manpower
shortages.
