SALVAGE GROUP
 ISSUES REPORT
Balance of $Il,OOO on Hand; $7,OOO Expended
 in Gifts

A balance of more than $il ,000 was reported by the Waterbury sal- wage committee Saturday evening. Almost $7000 were withdrawn dur. ing l942 for expenses and gifts, the latter including 6 $2,500 contribu- ton to the Navy Relief fund.
 How this money will be dispersed has not yet been considered by the committee, 1t was learned, and 1t is felt that the group will not make any disbursements for the present, ct least. At Wednesdays meeting, the committee acting on a report from @ subcommittee decided not to grant a Zindah Grotto request for $500 to continue its Keep Elm Smoking" campaign.
 Notable in the fiscal report, sub. mitted by Atty. Francis Mcdonald. committee treasurer, IS the constant rise in receipts from scrap drives. From a $275 receipt for scrap un- til May 28, the totals rose to almost $3, 1000 in August and $l2,500 in the major October-November push.
 The committee was shown to have garnered SIS 154.66 altogether from the sale of materials salvaged for war production. Deducted from the sum is @ total of $6,9l9.07 for ex- penseS.
 The salvage drive to Nov. 24. which produced $l2,500, covered the phase conducted by Waterbury newspapers. Well over 1000 tons of scrap metal were collected during the campaign.
 An earlier drive, the August scrap raid" amounted to $2,928.40 in cash. It was from this campaign, with running costs deducted. that the Navy Relief fund was given a check.
 The financial report further pointed out that $2,O6O.S3 was re- ceived from the sale of magazines and newspapers collected by school children, with $l,852.67 paid to schools afterward on a per capita basis for the scrap paper.
 The purchase of signs, placards pamphlets, ribbons with other in- cidentals connected with the news paper campaign and other drives cost the committee $1, 1850 in 1942, according to the report.
 Another effort, the construction and painting of scrap bins, was in- dicated to have been made at an expense of $l,160.90.
 Two hundred and fifty dollars was given to the state salvage commit tee toward maintenance of the or ganization.

ARMY DENTAL SURGEONS OSING .PLASTICS MORE.

uta
 Fort Benning, Ga, (UP) When rubber returns once more to gen. eral use in America after the war, there may be one field whera it won't be demanded. That is the field of dentistry, where piastics will probably have supplanted it@-duG in a large measure to research being conducted by officers and men of the dental clinic at the Fort Benning, Ga, hospital.
 Not only are plastics replacing rubber for dentures or plates, but they are proving themselves q Ire. Inefidous factor in the development of new types of splints for use In fractures and Army surgeons pre- dict that the substance is to play an important part in rebuilding" faces of men wounded in battle.
 The use of plastics in splints for jaw fractures is one of the neWeJ developments in dental surgery and research in this phase of dentistry and surgery is being closely Watcned by professional men.
 Transparent plastics are replac- ing stone or plaster casts in frac- ture il1stances-proving much more practical, Fort Benning technicians said, and offer the added adyan- tage of allowing physicians to ob- serve how the bones and tissues are knitting without removing the cast. It was also pointed out that the plastic cast can be quickly and easily reworked in case 1t does not fit properly. The old method would not allow for this.
 In the use of plastics for den- lures, officers at the clinic said . lighter, stronger result is obtained and the material can be tinted much closer to the colorirlg of the mouth than rubber. Some also are used in transparent material.
 Conductors of the Arrny's experi- mentS said the plastics can be quickly, easily and cheaply made even under battle conditions.
 The materials comes in the form of white powder and all that is necessary is to boil 1t and pour the liuuid into a form or mould which can easily be baked. The false teeth are set into an acrilic base and the whole forms Q light denture which soldiers have declared more comfortable than the old rubber type.
 The plastic material is plentiful. It may be made from by-products of soybeans, peanut hulls, or other common articles.
 Advocates of the employment of plastics in dental mechanics say that plastics in their present usG were first discovered by dentts1 seeking substitute for rubber.
 Fort Benning's dental laboratory was set up in February, 1922, under direction of Capt. E. M. F. Maury, on a plan organized by Col. Mel- vile A. Sanderson, commanding of- ficer of the dental clinic, when t became apparent that there was to be a sharp curtailment of rubber production for use by the United Nations.
 Since that time, its trainees have taken the new techniques developed there out into the battle zones and put them in use.

Big Bill" JefHers "had Q slow

 to get along with when, as pie
 tured at right, he faced members
 of the cotton bloc before the Sen.

 today, the hard-hitting Rubber
 Administrator wears the big grin
 seen above. A Congressional
 hearing brought his fight into the
 open and he got his priorities. the Baruch report was written, he was told. Of course he could under stand that the Arrny's demand for 100 octane gas plants had to come first.
 ROARING WILLIAM
 Jeffers, however, could not un- derstand. He went back to his oflce re-read the Baruch report and went on shouting for more material. On this issue and Nelson report- edly fought several fast oral rounds.
 Jeffers moved out of the Social Security Building and into the municipal building. The Chemi- cal Branch occupied the rest of the floor and Jeffers roared until the branch moved into a tempor- ary building he had rejected as unfit for his staff.
 Associates said Jetfers was a hard man to get along with In those days. "He had a slow burn on," they said. "1e was mad all the time - you could tell he was ready to blow up.'
 The rubber program appeared to be hopelessly begged down when Jeffers let loose his blast against

''Big BilP' Jeffers NurSed a Grouch---
But Now He's
 Smiling Again!
By JAMES CULINANE

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Feb. 8 - Big Bill" Jeffers is grinning again and offlcial Washington is dumbfounded.
 That's because the red-faced, hot headed Rubber Administrator should be beaten and knows 1t, according to all the Capitals bureaucratic rules.
 But far from beaten is William Martin Jeffers, who, until he got his back to the wall and his en- emies out in the open, nursed the most terrible grouch Washington has seen.
 Since last September, when President Roosevelt persuaded him to leave his 70,000-a-year job as President of the Union Pacific Rail- road to administer the rubber pro- gram, Jeffers has fought with the Army, Navy, OpA, OWI and any stray bureaucrat who happened to cross his path.
 The harder they hit Big Bill" the louder he roars, Washington ofhcialdom is discovering.
 He's hard headed, hard-tisted and hard hitting" an old associate describes Jeffers. Hell highball an order right through to where 1t is going and make sure 1t isn't sidetracked."
 The order Jetfers Is "highball- ing through" Washington now IS the Baruch report. The President had handed him this report on the rubber situation and told him to follow its recommendations.
 Jeffers' first act was to order nation wide gasoline rationing and the 35-mile- -hour speed limit. HENDERSON LOSES
 Leon Henderson, supposedly the toughest man in Washington at the time went to the mat with Jeffers and was thrown for loss In the controversy over whether travelling salesmen should get extra gasoline rations.
 Riding high, Jeffers built up @ staff of rubber experts and prepared {. to start building synthetic rubber plants.
 But Big Bill soon found out that his good friend Donald Nel- son, chairman of the War Pro- duction Board, was allowing him top priorities for only 20 per cent of the equipment needed. The n1ili- tary situation had changed since
