u. ). Rubber HOPES
To Put Dividends
On Regular Basis
Davis Tells Holders
Current Earnings
Above Year Ago
BY the Associated Press.

/
PASSAIC, N. j., April 20-F. B.
Davis, jr., chairman of United States
Rubber Co., told stockholders at the
annual meeting today the company
"hopes to place both preferred and
common stock dividends on regular
basis"
He said it was probable four pay
ments of So each on the preferred
for 1943 would be made in Septem-
ber and December this year and in
March and June of 1914. The final
payment of So on the preferred for
1912 will be made next June 25 to
holders of record June II.
Plans for common stock dividends,
Davis said, called for disbursements
in September and December of this
year out of surplus as of December
81, 1912, and dividend in March,
1914, out of surplus as of Decem-
Der 81, l943. On March of this
year the company declared a COM
mon dividend of 25 cents a share.
Davis reported the company's
sales in the first quarter of 1943 were
70 per cent ahead of the correspond
ing period last year. Sales of war
products continued to account for
an increasing percentage of the
total.
Davis added that current earnings,
before taxes, were better than at
this time last year. The 1912 profits
were equal to S132 a share after pre-
ferred dividends.
Stockholders voted to amend the
company's retirement plan to pro-
vide for a larger allowance for re-
tired employees.

RICHMOND, Va, April 90
Stockholders of the Chesapeake g.
Ohio Railway elected two new di-
rectorS today and received a state
ment from President Carl E. New
ton that increased railroad traffic
may turn out to be milestone
around the neck of the roads be-
cause OF accelerated wear in equip
ment and roadway.
The new directors are Cyrus S.
Eaton, Cleveland financier, and
Henry j. Guild, president of the
BrightWater Paper Co., Adams.
Mass. Eleven other directors were
reelected.
Newton said the recent suspension
OF freight rate increases-granted
early this year to cover in part the
wage increases effective last Sep
tember-Was not compensated for
by the Increased traffic.
Railroad stockholders. he added,
are making their contribution to
the preservation of the wage in
creases of Steptember, 1941, as well
as TO the winning of the war in the
com OF rundown physical prop
ertles resulting from greatly in
creased traffic volume without due
recognition in the tax law"
Shortages of steel and labor, New
ton said, make normal maintenance
impossible. Although the Interstate
Commerce Commission permits us
to set aside reserves for deferred
maintenance, the taxing authority
In effect strips those reserves away.
To that extent, present reported
earnings of most railroads are over
taxed, and hence deceptive"

tinued. Both officers and men fell
to with gusto to keep their ships in
tip-top condition.
North Africa was a far, plaintive
cry from India, where the American
officers lived on a plane with
British officers and had at least
four servants" each India was the
first real pause in 1t. Kyle's "Gul-
liver's travels" The orders for his
particular group were rather vague
having been delivered orally before
it left this country, and the flyers
never reached their original destina-
ton. They got as far as Ceylon
when Java fell and were ordered to
India Immediately.
Temperatures Around 1871.
The Americans attempted to
master Urdu" sort of a universal
Indian language. but after learning
enough to get along with the servants
they gave it up as a bad job. The
land of Gandhi was blisteringly hot
and temperatures of 1877 were not
unsual
One of 1t. Kyle's assignments in
India was evacuating women and
children from Rangoon in the face
of japanese advance, but most of
his work was bombing missions.
Marshal Erwin Rommels threat
to Egypt sent the group hurrying to
the Middle Eastern theater to help
beat back the desert fox and when
Rommels record-breaking retreat
made him difficult to reach from
Egyptian bases the squadron was
transferred to North Africa to hit
him from the opposite side.
Nylon Hose Plentiful.
Life in Egypt was pleasant. Egypt
was a veritable land of milk and
honey with no apparent pinch in
anything. Silk and nylon hose were
plentiful. Night life was gay and
entertaining and Shepherds Hotel
and Dolls Night Club were the focal
point for the foreigners.
1t Kyle was surprised to find
Indian and Egyptian native movies
extraordinarily good, but rather
difficult to understand without a
knowledge of the French language
IN which subtitles were printed.

On nearly every mission we sus-

1t. Kyle, Far Travelling Pilot,
Takes FurIough Amid Luxuries

A keen-eyed but travel weary
| young bomber pilot, 1t. Paul J. Kyle
of Arlington, Va, who has seen &C
Indian, Middle Eastern and North
African fronts, sank back into a
plush-covered chair at a downtown
hotel today and decided it was nice
to be home.
Not that he doesn't like the Army,
flying BIT Flying Fortress or
travelling, but it was good to see his
mother and younger brother again,
and then there was the attractive
young lady at his side. They had
met before, at Shepherds Hotel in
Cairo, Egypt, where she was await
ing transportation to this country,
and fate had crossed their paths
again over here. She is Catherine
Saff1an of Teheran, Iran.
100000 Miles by Air.
1t. Kyle is a member of a squad
ron of % officers and 81 enlisted
men who have averaged approx
lmately 100000 miles of travel since
the japanese attacked Pearl Har-
bor-nearly all of it by plane.
Nearly all have received both the
Air Medal and Silver Star and some
have won the Distinguished Flying
| Cross.
Recounting some of his expert
ences, 1t. Kyle said that in North
Africa officers washed their under
clothes in helmets and were thank
ful to remove mud-caked uniforms

clothing were unheard Of But 1t.
Kyle was lucky. He traded off a
couple of old shirts and pair of worn
shoes for small but invaluable
