Foe Of America, Says
Admiral Woodward
End Of War Is Long
Way Off, He Tells
Soiourners Group

Predicting that the war will enc
In total victory for the Allies, Rear
Admiral Clark H. Woodward, In
centive Division, Office of the Chief
OF Naval Operations, warned last
night that the date Of victory is
still far in the future land is in
danger of being delayed even fur
ther, If we do not put aside our rose
colored glasses"
Addressing the annual banquet
OF Washington Chapter of the Ma
tional Sojourners at the Mayf1ower
Hotel, he declared that 1943 finds
Q new danger in our midst, that of
overconf1dence. This danger, he
said, lis definitely threatening us
today"
Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet,
retired, former commandant of the
Coast Guard, served as toastmaster
at the banquet, which was attended
by about 400 persons. Others who
spoke briefly were Maj. Gen. Amos
A. Fries, past national president;
Carl H. Claudy, grand master of
Masons in the District, and Maj
William Mosely Brown. national
president of the Sojourners, who
installed the new officers of the
Washington chapter.
Scouts Peace Talk.
eve need but single look at
the map to see how futile is this
talk of imminent peace" Admiral
Woodward declared, pointing that
so far we have been able to take
back from the japanese only an
infinitesimal part of the territory
which they captured from us.
'On the other hand from the
Russians, who have recaptured huge
chunks of territory, you do not hear
any premature talk of total victory"
he said. They are too busy killing
Germans"
Admiral Woodward also predicted
that the "U-boat menace will be
licked, and that at the close Of the
war it will be shown that the sub
marine in American hands is as
deadly weapon as it ever was for
the Germans"
Denies Reports of Friction.
Admiral Woodward denied that
any friction exists between the
armed services of the United States.
Reports of such friction he described
as "the creation of the columnists
and second guessers. Friction be-
tween the services, he declared, "ex-
lists neither in fact nor in spirit"
New officers of the Washington
chapter installed last night were
as follows:
1t. Col. John G. Llewellyn, presi-
dent; Vice Admiral Russell R.

Rubber
Continued From First Pag,

-
ber in the fall would dip 1000 tons
under the Baruch disaster" line.
Decision Expected Soon.
Meanwhile, an answer to the deli
cate and highly strategic question
as to the comparative importance
of the programs for rubber, high
octane gasoline and escort ships is
expected from the White House early
this week.
The procedure outlined by the off,
cial would be an attempted compro-
mise between military men support
ing the ship and gasoline programs
and rubber officials. 1t would be-
however, in no sense a compromise
to rubber men who feel that The
manufacture of synthetic rubber at
best is so uncertain an undertaking
that any effort merely to squeeze
through is courting disaster.
The WPB official pointed out that
is the objective of production Off
cials to keep in balance all vital
war programs. To give rubber first
call on equipment needed also foI
production of ships and aviation
fuel would be to throw the over AL
program off balance.
He said to grant Mr.. Jeffers high
est rating for so large a part of his
program would not only delay the
other programs, but would start an
imitation of priorities such as ex-
listed last year after officials dis
covered they had issued more pri-
! critics than there were materials
That retarded production of some
most important weapons. Super
priorities were issued. Then the
Nation was short of materials, now
the problem Is components. ..
Silent on New Development.
Mr.. Jeffers yesterday declined
comment on new developments in
the rubber situation. Earlier he
said the portion of his program for
which he asked special priorities
would be sufficient to produce in
1914 an estimated 100000 tons o1
rubber, all of which would be need
ed to supply our armed forces, the
other United Nations and Vita
transportation. Rubber for automo-
bile tires would come later.
Should the rubber director bt
turned down in his request fol
equipment and the Nations rubber
inventory allowed to fall below the
20,000-ton danger line, it will mark
the first major deviation from the
Baruch report, heretofore regarded
as Bible" In it's field. The re.
port has been followed religiously
since its publication last fall aftel
the study of the rubber sitxation or.
dered by President Roosevelt.
The WPB official expressed the be.
lief the programs for rubber, ship.
and high-octane could be carried
along together with out serious dis.
ruption of any one The three pro.
grams all require the same types Of
instruments, valves, condensers, boil.

entation of the above certificate.
For the purpose of this emergency
ration, coupons will not be accepted
which are due other suppliers of fuel
oil previously delivered and con-
sumed."
The first complaint was filed by
the John p Agnew Co., which re-
ported that its representatives were
ordered off the Petrol property after
an unsuccessful attempt to get oil.
H. A. Good, manager of the fuel
oil department, said an affidavit
covering the matter was filed with
Whitney Leary, District OPA di-
rector, and Joseph Richards, jr., vice
president of the Columbia Specially
Co. of Chevy Chase, reported to Mr..
Leary and the OPA that he had
been denied oil.
Shortly afterwards, Mr.. Steuart
said the Agnew firm would get Co.
600 gallons, and Mr.. Richards re-
ported he had been promised $4,000.
The third dealer known to have
been turned away yesterday was
Henry Bellman of Mount Rainier
He also announced that a protest
would be filed with the authorities
Mr.. Steuart declared the trouble
here was due to the failure OF sup
pliers to anticipate their needs
and govern themselves accordingly
Then, he added, confronted with
empty tanks, they sought to shoulder
their customers off on Petrol.
Even in ordinary times" he ex-
planned, dealers don't switch be-
tween suppliers at this period Of the
year, and we couldn't meet all the
demands made upon U.s." To en-
phasize steps the Steuart co. has
taken to make supplies available, he
said $4,000 had been invested in q
railroad siding so oil could be
brought by trainload and thus con-
form to the requirements Of the
Once of Defense Transportation.
Mr.. Steuart said no home would
be denied oil 50 long as the pros
pective purchaser had coupons. He
added, however, that it was neces-
sary that the coupons be in the
possession of the company as 9
prerequisite of sales, as driver.

the collection and necessary clerical
work.
I'VE are just trying to do a jot
and will continue to do so," the oil
man added.
He said also that the Agnew Co
would receive $4,000 gallons of oil
despite the fact that on the basis
Of purchases last year, the company
was entitled only to 5000 froE:
Petrol.
Mr.. Richards applied for oil yes
terday morning, in response to di
rections from the OPA to make {
test Of an earlier refusal Of Petrol
to sell. A Petrol representative
at the plant refused to discuss th'
matter with him, referring him In
stead to the Philadelphia Office
There he said he was told by al
Official that the corporation coult
only meet the demands of its reg
ular customers.
Mr.. Steuart said Petrol supplies

mile radius of Washington, includ
ing important defense installations

Grezela Lodzinski wants those
from the Acklin and Overland
Units to know how deeply she ap-
preciates the blood which they gave
to her husband, who is seriously i'll

SORRY
We extend our sympathy to John

We are pleased to note the grad
ual increase in attendance at Unit
meetings. Let the good work con-
tinue.
Our Acklin boys looked good last
Wednesday night when the Local
II All-Star League got off for the
1943-44 season. The boys may not
be as good as the WHY'S team, but
they aren't afraid of them.

We are glad to have Tom back.
We will soon have large bulle-
tin board in Dept 60 shell line, all
decorated up with red, white and

folks will get into line with the
spirit behind the bulletin board,
Acklin can be one of the top flight

While on the subject of the shell
line, we have a fine looking bunch
of girls in there whom we are
proud of. Acklin girls don't take a
back seat for any plant when it
comes to glamorous women in in

ana OtnerS.
The chief dangers now ap-
pear to be that ~ the sup
port prices for crops, discussed
in general way by the President
and leaders Of four farm organiza-
tions Sept Is, will be too high
admittedly they will be "some
higher than present prices") and
(2) that the three reactionary
farm groups consulted while
agreeing to support prices may
continue to oppose the subsidy
part Of the administrations pro-
gram, even under the name Of
"redemptions." ="
Moreover, even if the plan con
templated is put through, it will
be inadequate. It calls for expend-
iture Of only 00,000,000, accord
ing to Pres. James Patton Of the
Natl. Farmers Union, the fourth
farm organization represented at
the conference. NFU has support
ed the administrations anti-infla-
tion program all along, has been
and is for subsidies to stimulate
production. Patton thinks a far
more adequate program is needed
but thinks the other organizations
have retreated and are accepting
the subsidy (pardon, redemptions)
program, and that that represents
a consumer victory.
If so, Gannett is going to be
mighty disappointed. His latest
blast against subsidies, and price
control Of all kinds, was in the
form Of printed copies Of a speech
he made before the Executives
Club in Chicago ain preparation

The Waggin'
Tongue
of Local IL

There is story told of a local
colored worker who claimed that
he wasn't afraid of anything, not
even lion, or a bear or a tiger.
None of these things gave him a
moment of fear. So, much to the
surprise of his acquaintances they
beheld Sambo running at full tilt,
one warm summer afternoon, for
the nearby creek. And he gave
every evidence of being very much
frightened. When he came up from
his voluntary ducking and had re-
covered his breath, his friends and
other onlookers asked him what
the trouble was. A few chided Sam
bo little about his boast of being
afraid of nothing. Sambo said,
We'll, sub, ah is not afraid of a
lion, or beah, or tigah, but say
them thar hohnets has got or
ganization, and they shuh made me

War Food Administration Marvin
Jones.
Souces close TO Vinson indicated
that he is not satisfied with the
extent Of the program and that
particularly he is determined that
the price Of milk be held to its
present retail levels-as well az
family bread and flour. It is be-
lieved milk was missing from the
Sept. Is discussion.
To Discuss Milk
Jones at his own instigation is
appearing before the senate bank
ing and currency committee Sept.
IL to discuss milk. Presumably he
will sound out the committee,
which initiates appropriations
legislation, regarding a subsidy
which might be applied at various
levels, either at the professors
level, as is to be the case with
vegetable oils, or at the country
shippers level. The farm bloc is
opposing it furiously.
Many persons here watched first
Sec. of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard and then former Food
Administrator Chester Davis kill
all chances for subsidy programs
by presenting them half-heartedly
before congressional committees,
when they could have been put in
to effect without congress con-
sent, were keeping their fingers
crossed.
At the same time Jones plan 70
take the farm organization boys
up to congress to plead for $780,
100000 for the loan-redemption
program was viewed with suspi-
cion by some. The Commodity
Credit Corp. does not expire until
Jan. 1, they point out, and both
CCC and Reconstruction Finance
Corp. are said to have ample funds
to finance this limited subsidy
program and the 500, ,000,0 900 pro-
gram for rolling back prices fur
ther which was outlined the other
day by OPA Manager Chester
Bowles.

Peaceful
Back Yards
BY Ray Bolger

I've watched you hundreds o1
times, Mary and Margaret, out
there in the back yard squirting
up at the sky. You love the sight
and sound and thrill of an airplane
roaring over the house. 1t adds q
bright note to your play-waving
at these silver birds of the sky as
you romp around in the peaceful
quiet of your own bacl; yard.
Of course you're too young yet
girls, to understand what it's al
about-that these bombers, fight
ers and pursuit ships winging away
from American assembly lines are
heading for the war fronts.
Your little hearts, at four anc
two years of age, have known only
beautiful things, flowers and trees
robins, sunsets, winter snow and
rainbows in the spring.
No one has told you anything
about block busters, gas masks
strafings, broken bodies, blood
thirsty destruction and murder. Nc
one has told you that youngsters
in far off lands do not get the
same joyful thrill that comes to
you at the sight of plane. No one
has told you about the millions OF
little boys and girls in those un-
fortunate war-torn regions who
know only terrifying, sickening
fear at the drone of a motor.
No one would ever breathe a
word to you about screaming, half
crazed children caught in an all
raid. Notwithstanding in the
darkness and tearing for protection
at the dress of a lifeless body
tiny, helpless children cheated for
ever-in one binding flash-of the
loving care that can only come
from the heart of mother.
WE WON'T LET THAT HAP
PEN HERE-THIS is AMERICA!
That is why your dad is buying

row.
Our big business right now is to
keep on pouring out these other
things that are helping to protect
you and all the children playing in
peaceful back yards throughout
AMERICA.

Have we, or have we not, our re-
porter back? We surely hope so
We like to have the news come to
light so we all can enjoy it.
We can say little or lot about
Bingham's picnic. The most that
can be said is everyone seemed to
have good time-and will be look
ing forward to the next one. Many
shadows were in sight that day.
Did it rain Labor Day? Orchids
to those who marched. They showed
the spirit of the CIO, and while
everyone was soaked to the skin,
they kept the sunny side up to the
end.
We would like to see our old en-
ployees and more. of the new ones
at the Unit meetings, because we
all need to keep up with the educa-
tion of the Union-with the chang
ing of time and conditions within
the plant-local and international.
Our next meeting is September "a.
Does everyone know that Bing-
hams has a bowling team? They
got off to good start by winning
the first three games. The team
consists of |. James Czerniak as
captain, Ollie Wisniewski, Stanley
Machinski. Walter Augustyniah
and Ollie Owczarzak. Mr.. Gould do
mated the money for the entrance
fee and some for the uniforms. A
w;r bond was ratified off, won by
Elizabeth Sodd, to help defray the
other cost and also enough to start
a girls bowling team if it can be
organized.
Thanks, everybody, for cooperat-
ing in the rattle.
The boys on the team will be
looking for you fellas and gals for
moral support. They will bowl
every Wednesday at 6:45 p. m. at
the Bowl-O-Drome on Collingwood
avenue.
The drill press library has been
closed, no doubt for the duration.
The membership was growing-but
we hope production will take its
place.
1t seems most everyone has had
their vacation-snd are settling
down for the winter. We still have
some people on the sick list and
hope they all will be back with US
soon.
A couple of weeks ago some of
the gang wrote letter to Walter
Murphy, and he sent very inter
esting one in reply. We hope he and
tn rest of the boys will be back
with us before long.
Is everyone buying Bonds Bing-
had's doesn't rate any slackers.
Let's keep on buying.
M. H. that means you. The new
ones are doing their bit. Is our shop
registered 1000 to vote? We have
always been on top. Let's not fall
down now.
Clara O'Brien enjoyed few days
