methods of getting a job done in

He again denied that the rubber
program had interfered with avia-
ton gasoline output as alleged by
Army officials. Instead, he con-
tended, the successful pushing
ahead of his plans has been spur
to other war production.
I'm not mad, really; I'm just
an easy-going Irishman," Mr.. JET
fers told reporters. A little later,
he commented, You know, boys,
this country would be better off if
some of us did more thinking and
less talking" Officials accompany

iterated his belief that his con-

Nelson Seen Backing Jeffers.
Meanwhile, associates of Mr..
Nelson said he was expected to
support Mr.. Jeffers in the contro-
versy which will reach climax
Tuesday when the Truman Com
mittee starts its inquiry into charges
made by Mr.. Patterson that diver
sion OF machinery to rubber plants
had so slowed output of high
octane gasoline that some American
advanced trainer planes were
grounded. Mr.. Patterson also
charged that the great Allied air
smash against Germany, scheduled
for later this year, is threatened by
the shortage.
The associates declared that Mr..
Nelson was neither convinced that
the rubber program is "out of the
woods nor inclined to believe that
curtailment of rubber priorities
would relieve the high-octane short
age.
Mr.. Nelson is scheduled to testify
before the Truman Committee Tues
day along with Mr.. Ickes. They
will be followed on Wednesday by
Mr.. Jeffers, Mr.. Patterson and Un-
dersecretary of Navy Forrestal.
Another source laid at least part
OF the blame for high-octane short
age on the Armys doorstep. He
pointed out that it was not until

do little to step up output of plane
fuel in the coming months, because
of time required to get manufactur-
ing facilities into production. A
spokesman for Mr.. Ickes admitted
this was true.
Engineers from Mr.. Ickes' office
are now working with Vice Chair
man Ralph Cordiner, WPB bottle
neck breaker" to find ways of
Fastening completion of 1OO-octane
plants already under construction.
Although Mr.. Jeffers recently has
evidenced considerable optimism
concerning the synthetic program
Mr.. Nelson was said to feel that
rubber procurement still is an un-
certain problem. He fears develop
ment of tendency to forget that
rubber is just as important to the
armed forces as gasoline and escort
vessels.
Mr.. Jeffers showed reporters in
Baton Rouge a progress report on
a new Government butadiene plant
to illustrate how his Office cooper
ated in getting equipment to hasten
its completion. He added that it
was a typical instance of his Office S
drive behind the job" toward ac-
complishment.
Jeffers Deplores "Grousing."
"The difference between the rub
Der and the other programs is the
drive keeping it live thing, con-
trasted to sitting around desks and
issuing orders and grousing about
someone else taking something
away" Mr.. Jeffers declared. The
difference is that we are getting
out on the job and getting it done
"A simple fact is that the rubber
program has not interferred with a
single other program. 1t has not
retarded single project. AS mat
ter of fact, my position is that it
has lifted along other programs and
has provided additional capacities
by uncovering new sources of sup
ply.
And I think we have taught some
Of the others what it means to get
behind job and carry it through
The final answer Is that the
rubber program is going ahead"
Mr.. Jeffers. who left Washington
Friday for Today trip to his prof.
ects, told reporters he would cut
short his tour so as to return for
the Truman Committee hearing

had no ready answer to the question
of how to bring that about. He had
no complaints, he said, about the
way the war was being run, either
from military or home production
standpoint.
Senator Glass became a vigorous
critic of President Roosevelt's
domestic policies early in the New
Deal, but became reconciled with
the Chief Executive in 1899 when
the President asked Congress to re-
peal the arms embargo of the Neu-
trality Act. 1t was the President
who called Senator Glass IAN unre-
constructed rebel" At that time
Mr.. Roosevelt was reported to have
told the Virginian:
We'll, it took a war to get us
together again. I hope it will take
an earthquake to separate U.s."
The Senate, where his fiery
speeches are remembered by his
colleagues, has been missing his
presence for many months. Sena-
tor Glass said he expects to resume
his attendance at sessions soon.

mines to be operated by the Gov
