Use OF synthetics in shoe manu-

portance only to tire production.
Whether civilians will get rubber
for other uses depends entirely on
whether the usage interferes with
production of tires Some synthetic
rubber already has been allotted for
women's underwear.
Officials predicted that within the
next year large percentage of even
the most expensive shoes will appear
with synthetic rubber soles, Con-

to lease-lend has left little for civil.y

Ex-Commissioner Calls
Methods of Withdrawal

Lam SING. Feb. 12.-With-
drawals of large quantities of liquor
by distillers' agents TO provide
drinks for politicians was con-
demned today by former liquor
commissioner Alva NJ. Cummins
who said he stopped the practice
in 1910.
Cummins was made a member
of the commission by former Gov
ernor Dickinson and served as the
Democratic m m Der. Although
personally a dry. he was known as
a liberal where the drinking OF
others was concerned.
"SOOn after I went on the
commission I was asked for an
opinion on the legality of the So
called Withdrawals of liquor,
since 1 was a lawyer" he said.
II learned that the euphoniOus
withdrawal was merely a name
for allowing distiIlers' agents to
purchase liquor for gift purposes
at the same price the state paid
for IL.
THE records will show the
practice was stopped. OF course
IL was Illegal. The only way any
one could bet any OF IL legally
was to buy Ii and pay the states
price"
During the last few months, II
has been the rule of the liquor
commission that every distiller's
agent was entitled 10 draw a max
imum of five cases a month.
Clare NJ. MacNaughton, con-
troller. said this maximum figure
was seldom taken advantage of by
