Watch Those Tires
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
When the OPA recently announced that some
% 900 tires would be manufactured from syn
thetic rubber during the current year many Americans
were inclined to believe that the tire shortage was
about to end But when stops to realize that this
production will supply but tire for each auto
mobile in the nation the increasing seriousness of the
situation becomes apparent.
Private automobiles play vital part in our
economy without them the wheels of industry would
be slowed to point where war production would
lag far behind minimum requirements Streetcars
buses and other forms of transportation could not
possibly carry all workers to and from their
essential jobs.
Tires now these automobiles are wearing thin
At the beginning of the the majority of American
cars were we'll tired Driving restrictions careful use
and servicing of the rubber has done wonders in
prolonging the useful life of our automobiles. But
even essential miles eat away castings, and more and
of them wearing thin with every passing
week The stock pile of tires and natural rubber
filled the gap for months but this source of supply
is virtually exhausted.
American industry has done wonders in devel-
oping the synthetic rubber program. 1t has however
been most difficult job Not only was 1t necessary
to build plants but processes had to be perfected
and supply sources had to be arranged. We now are
producing synthetic satisfactory rate but it will
be long time before it can be turned out in guam
tty sufficient to meet prewar standards Anyone
who expects to return to 1940 civilian consumption
totals before the close of the present conflict is foong
himself.
In many ways it is more necessary now to pre-
tires than it year ago. Prewar carcasses
are growing They offer the best possible base
for recapping if they have been carefully used and
serviced Still in spite of these facts, many drivers
are as wanton in fasting their precious castings as
they were before our crude rubber supply cut
off by relentless enemy
Continued checking of tires switching of tires
from wheel to wheel, immediate repair of cuts and
breaks all these and other service practices are
absolutely essential today, just they were in the
months Immediately following Pearl Harbor.

guage here. Mr. Rostow was in
the United States Army and was
honorably discharged for physical
reasons. Unless you change your
attitude. have no desire to talk
to you further"
Hurley then apologized, but con-
tinued to talk vigorously about the
"stuffed-shirt diplomats in the
State Department who were kow-
towing to the British" 1t was
time, he said, For the President to
fish or cut bait" and he threatened
, to take the issue to the country
THE President" fumed Hurley
means nothing to me. He puts
his pants on one leg at a time, just
like the rest of us.
NORTHUMBERLAND this got back
to the White House Some time
later, the President was talking tc
a friend about the State Depart
ment and remarked: TOO much
hurly- burly" Presumably, he re-
ferred to his friend Patrick and AS
sistant Secretary Berle.

Maury Maverick chief of the Smaller War
Plants Corporation has started campaign which we
heartily applaud. One of the things he set out to
do in his new job to simplify
One of his first attempts is his current campaign
against what he calls Gobbledygook which is his way
of defining the technical and round the block way in
which most of the bureaucrats and their underlings
attempt to explain the regulations which they don't
understand The language which has been used seems
to be peculiar to the Washington bureaucrats and
poets who make their living by writing things that
are puzzling.
Recently Maverick addressed an order to his flock
in the Smaller War Plants Corporation instructng
them under pain of fearful penalties, forthwith to
abndon Gobbledygook and to write whatever they
have to say in the English language.
This order concluded with this grim warming

suspicion was that they might be
oil men.
Among other things, Hurley ar
gued that the United States needed
a strong soldier ambassador in the
Near East to keep an eye on the
British, and that he was the man
to do the job He pointed out that
military matters were SO important
in that area that no American am
bassador could work on a level with
British military commanders I'M
less he also had military rank.
Therefore, Hurley, major gen.
eral, would be perfectly qualified
if given the rank OF permanent am
bassador to the Near East He al
ready held the honorary rank of
rowing ambassador through cable
gram from the President confirmed
by letter from Ed Stettinius.
The President, who has been fond
of the ebullient Pat, already had a
good man, Jim Lands, in Cairo.
He replied:
Pat, you want to be petted all
the time. I've given you everything
you wanted. I've followed your pol
icy in the Near East. / sent you
to Iran and to Moscow and China
and now you want to be an am
baSsador.'
Without the rank of ambassa-
dor" countered Hurley, Il wouldn't
have the chance of cut eat on a
back fence"
In the end, the President, who
seemed to like Hurley's plan for U
S. economic missions to the Near
East. sent it over to the State De-
partment He asked Pat to talk
about it further there.

rotary Hull, Assistant Secretary
Dean Acheson, and Undersecretary
Stettinius were against it.
One report on the Hurley plan

was infuriated Later, at cock
tail party, he bumped into Wallace
Murray, who dropped the remark
that the official who described the

Eugene Rostow in the division OF

Hurley then went to the State
Department and demanded show

Assistant Secretary Acheson.
During this session, he lost his
temper and challenged Rostow to
fight.

ton, that is, that there is chance
for everybody who will accept
Christ to be saved externally and
in the heavens" 1t may be stated
that his belief is the impossible
chasm between the two branches
of the Baptist church, called
"Soft Shells and lizard Shells"
respectively, the latter teaching
that they are saved by predestin-
ation-"if at all.' But it was made
clear that GIRO" Howell will not
accept christianity on these terms.
He believes also that when the
creature, man, once gets into
the ''highway which the vulture's
eye hath mot SEEM" he cannot
fall away, and that he is as sure
to find the gold paved streets OF
the New jerusalem, as the tax
collector is to find the most iso-
lated tithe-burdened citizen OF
the commonwealth.
Rev. John Calvin Swindall was
next to claim the attention of the
congregation. He is the man who
is "unalterably opposed" to secret
orders, though from his discourse
the matter did not seem to give
him any concern at that time.
He thought the idea of conduct
ing services in such an out-of-
the-way place was a strange one.
He did not think that he would
attend until the time came, when
he felt moved upon to be pres
ent. He thought that if all the
crimes that had been committed
in the old mountain could be UNI
covered, they would astonish even
the natives. He referred to the
huge boulder of the mountain as
having been rent from the great
masses of rock by the awful con-
cussions Of nature that followed
the crucifixion of Christ. After
an hour devoted to random talk
along the lines of the Baptist be-
iefs, he threw wide open the
doors, at which two individu-
ais, who signified their intention
to quit their former sinful ways,
went in thereat, and were soon
lost to the ken of those who re-
manned out in. the broad wicked
old world.
