yeffers Packs Bags for Home,
Proud of Doing Pretty Good Job
Rubber Czur Going
To Omoho, and First
Love'-RuiIroudinq

william M. Jeffers, the sticky
irishman who took over the Nations
chaotic rubber problem and made a
success of 1t within year, cleaned
out his desk, packed his bag and
went home to Omaha last night, in
better spirits than he had been in
since his arrival in the Capital last
September.
Mr.. Jeffers was on his way back
to his first Observation-Disclosures
. hectic year in which he stepped on
the toes or pulled" aside most Of
the bureaucrats about town. He was
returning to his "baby"-the Union
Pacific Railroad-the organization in
which he rose from call boy to presi-
dent In a comparatively few years.
He said he wanted to leave Wash
ington as quietly as possible and
with as little Ill will in his wake as
possible. Always willing to criticize
Government operations in the past
where he thought criticism was JUS
titled or would blast away red tape,
Mr.. Jeffers had no comment to make
of the Washington scene last night.
Hurt Feelings Of Many.
II am not laboring under the delu-
sion that all of the officials around
the city are my friends" commented
the former rubber "czar" 'I know
very well they are not. didn't
operate that way. I know I was
tough and I hurt the feelings of
many people, but think I did a
pretty good job Of putting over the
rubber program. That was the Job
I was brought here to do and was
determined that no one would pre-
vent me from doing it,
Mr.. Jeffers said the secret of his
success in building huge new in
dustry in record time was his refusal
to be diverted from the job at hand.
When he took over the rubber pro-
gram he was told it was the most
important of the many problems
facing embattled America. He be-
Neved it and refused to let anyone
interfere with him. Confident of his
own strength and ability, he was
always the lone wolf, never depend
ing upon another official to help him
in his fights.
"A great many strong men come
to Washington" pointed out Mr..
Jeffers, "and they come here with
the best plans and intentions to do
q good job. Almost always, how
ever, they are not here very long
Evening star., 1943-09-12

q short time and sized up the Job,
figured 1t would take me about six
months to put the rubber program
over. Because of circumstances be-
yond my control it took a little
longer than that"
Before departing, Mr.. Jeffers
commented on the recent disastrous
train wrecks. He said he believed
the accidents were due largely to
green hands," wartime strain on
equipment, and the fact that so
many of the men running trains
these days have their minds on
other things He declared that con-
fusion and uncertainty surrounding
the drafting of fathers tended to
take the minds of many trainmen
from their job.
when you are handling a train,"
said the man who has performed
nearly every job connected with
railroading, you are dealing with
liquid dynamite. You have to give
the job your full attention or some
thing costly is bound to happen. :"
Mr.. Jeffers repeated that his chief
reason for leaving the Capital sud-
denly was his desire to get back
to the Union Pacific, which like
other roads is having its opera
tional troubles.
Glad He's Coming.
"They seem to be glad I am
coming back" he said, smilingly
pointing to a high stack of letters
and kilograms on his desk. "All of
those are from my boys and girls
of the U. P. who read I was re-
turning to Omaha"
Mr.. Jeffers said he was happy to
be returning to his family and
his Irish setter, Pat, which lost
weight each time his master was
away from Omaha for a few weeks.
He had talked with Pat on. the
Evening star., 1943-09-12

phone the night before, and Pat
had climbed to a stair landing in
the Jeffers home and made
speech" just as he did each time
his master came home.
Il could hear Pats speech just as
plainly as If I were in the room,"
said Mr.. Jeffers, "and it was better
than a lot I have heard these last
few months"
Officials of the Rubber Directors s
office, many of them national lead
ers in the chemical and rubber in
dustries, gathered around to bid the
boss goodbye.
When it was suggested that Mr..
Jeffers might seek election to some
high ofilce which would bring him
to the Capital again, he replied:
Listen, had rather be mayor Of
a crossroads village In Nebraska
than to have any office I can think
