Firms Begged
On Oil Pact

WASHINGTON, March %. CUP
"A Petroleum Reserve Corp. con-
tract to finance the proposed l,25O-
mile Arabian oil pipeline is still
unsigned because the three COM
panies involved are unable to agree
on terms, it was learned Tuesday.
The contract originally was to be
completed by about April l, but
the three Standard Oil Of
California, the Texas Co., and Gulf
Exploration Co.-are in disagree
ment on several clauses, and are
not prepared to sign and submit
the document to the government
for approval and subsequent nego-
tiations with Saudi Arabia. Nature
of the differences was not revealed.
Meanwhile, administration sourc-
es denied that the contract would
be held up pending the forthcoming
investigation of PRO by the special
11-man senate oil investigating
committee, heaCed by Sen. Francis
Maloney, D., Conn. Some congress
sional circles had said that Petrol
cum Administrator Harold L. Ickes,
also head of PRO, had assured the
committee members that signing
of the contract would be postponed
until after the hearings.

HEpCATS AT WAR
Jacksonville Register-Paj ajaronian)

American youngsters have never been
regimented. In fact. the majority of
parents have probably let their children
give full rein to their normal tastes for
foOlShneSS And sometimes they have
been pretty foolish. They have spent
too much money, driven their cars too
fast swallowed goldfish, worn zoot suits,
gone wild over swing and jitterbugging
When the war came along, a lot of old
er people clucked their tongues and Won
dered. Our youth was soft, they said,
spoiled by luxury, irresponsible and COM
fort loving How could they stand up
against the German and Japanese youth,
who had. been put through a fanatical
toughening process in preparation for
war?
The answer is pretty obvious by now
What started this train of thought was
a picture put out by the marine corps
1t shows a lean, tough, determined-look
ing fighter Slogging through the ankle
deep mud of New Britain with a bazooka
slung over his shoulder.
The picture caption says that this mar
inc used to manage Bob Crosby's orches-
ira. He lived in the frantic world of
swing and hepcats Probably he stayed
up too late slept too little, didn't eat his
meals at the proper hours, and made
more money than is supposed to be good
for kids Now he's one of the combat
engineers who helped blast the Japs out
of Cape Gloucester.
Mai. James Stewart, late of that fam
tastic lotus land called Hollywood, COM
mandad a big flight Of four-engined
bombers on a raid over Berlin last We'd
nesday 1t was his 11th combat mission.
Alfred and George Vanderbilt of the
wealthy, horse-racing Vanderbilts, are
in the thick of the South Pacific fighting.
There used to be good bit of criticism
of the Roosevelt boys. They didn't con-
duct themselves, some folks said, with
the dignity befitting their fathers posi-
ton. You don't hear any criticism now.
One of the boys was an outstanding COM
mander in the Solomons campaign. An
other has been wounded.
You can fill out the list-boys who
have been in the public eye, boys who
have been called wild and reckless and
what not. They're the boys who are do
ing much toward winning the war.

A TWOFOLD COMEBACK

The triple-A answer is twofold-
it's war and postwar jobs. Com
mitteemen have been given the
war jobs of increasing acreage
under cultivation and increasing
production of the essential war
crops-hemp, castor beans, soy
beans, peanuts, and so on. In ad-
dition, the War Food Administra-
ton last November piled onto
triple-A a lot of the tricky track
originally assigned to the unpaid
county war boards - farm ma

Heavier Drain
Seen on State
JobIess Funds

SACRAMENTO, March 2S-CUP)
Heavier drains on the State un-
employment insurance fund in the
immediate future were predicted
by Edgar E. hampton, Employment
Sterilization Commission member,
who said they would result large
" from "cutbacks" in war indus
tries.
Hampton also revealed that an
indirect effect CT car and tire
shortages on employment was be-
ing noted for the first time.
He said that while around $780,
600 less had been paid in unem-
ployment insurance benefits in the
Jan. 1--March 10 period this year
than in the same period last gear
he expected last years level OF
payments would be exceeded with
in 80 days.
At least temporary unemploy-
ment in shipyards and aircraft
factories is expected, he said, be-
cause of production stoppages for
development of new models and
changed production schedules.
Recently the Commission has
been receiving three or four appll-
cations for unemployment insur-
ance based on the quitting or layoff
of the driver of the car in which
all rode to work, hampton said.
The Commission has adopted a
policy, he said, OF granting benefits
on such applications for "reas-
enable time" while the riders find
new jobs nearer their homes or
another means Of transportation.

Rubber Plans

PORTLAND, Ore, March %
(UP)-Former U. S. Rubber Direct
or William NJ Jeffers, who has
resumed his duties as president
of the Union Pacific railroad, said
here that the synthetic rubber
program was on schedule; that
army needs and our essential civ
ilian needs were taken care of,
and that by early autufn more
synthetic rubber would be diverted
to civilian use
"The net result cf the synthetic
rubber program" said Jeffers, lis
that we are not going to be as
dependent as before on natural
rubber. Chemists will develop an
all-purpcse synthetic rubber and
the United States will be in pos
ition for the first time 10 tell the
Germanc and the Dutch, who for
merly dictated the price, what the
price of rubber will be-" He said
whatever its cost, the development
CT synthetic rubber had saved the
war effort and safeguarded domes-

Public Whipping Boy Number l
on the charge against government
agencies organized to perpetuate
the present administration has
since 1884 been the triple-A, or
Agricultural Adjustment Agency.
Triple-A, now heading into the
third national election of its young
life, is in a curious position. Its
finances and the program for which
it was originally created have both
been cut approximately in hall.
But at a local administrative cost
of $300O0,000 this fiscal year, $751;
100000 last.
It's soul and its 5000 state and
county, $1,000 community COM
mitteemen go marching on at an
average of $3.50 per day plus 8
cents mile transportation IN
some western areas for every day
they work for the government. Pay
varies from So to Sc a day.
Whatever the rate, mCst OF the
committeeman feel they lose money
at it, and they say they're not
political. They are apt to be
Democrats in the South, Republl-
cans in the North.
For 10 years this organization
of farmer committeeman has been
the handspring of agriculture's ac-
tion program says Norris f.
Dodd, present ripple A chief.
Elected by farmers themselves, the
county and community committee
ment's standing job has been TO
help their neighbors work together
on problems that could not be
handled by individual farmers
When there were unmarketable
surpluses, the job was to reduce
acreage by allotment. Now, when
there isn't enough of anything, the
Job is tc increase production. But
it is of course impossible to build
up a government organization OF
this kind without someone accusing
it of playing politics with pubic
money.

Kenny Predicts
Water Pact

LOS ANGELES, March % CUP)-
Attorney General Robert w. Kenny

Colorado river water treaty with
Mexico would never be ratified by
the senate" in its present form.
II am hopeful that the President
will withdraw the treaty for recon-
sideraticn and renegotiation before
it reaches the senate floor" Kenny
said. There are many precedentS
for such action and this treaty
should be given much more thought
at higher levels of responsibility
before it is presented to the senate
for approval
Kenny recently returned frcm
Washington where he presented
California's position on the treaty.
Hearings on the treaty were
schedled to begin April 6, Kenny

Il do not believe they will take
place until the latter part of May
