RAMBOUILLET, France, Aug. q
delayed This is how one of tht
wars outstanding news beats wa!
achieved:
A tiny. dust-covered jeep whirled
into the driveway OF the Hotel Crane
Veneux early this afternoon while
scores of war correspondents milleo
about waiting for word when Alliec
troops would move into Paris.
Tall Don Whitehead, chief Of the
Associated Press stan in France, un-
limbered his feet Ia inches and
climbed stiffly out of the jeep. His
face was dusty and streaked with
perspiration as he ambled unhur-
riedly toward the hotels lounge
which had been converted into a
press room.
Where you been. DOM" asked one
correspondent sitting leisurely on q
bench.
Paris" said Whitehead.
Writes 1900 Word Story.
Immediately he was surrounded by
a surging crowd of correspondents,
all excitedly asking questions. White
head answered as many as he could
in a few seconds and then sat down
at his typewriter.
In exactly IS minutes, he pounded
out .600-word account of the cap
ture Of Paris. 1t was the first eye
witness story Of one of the most
dramatic days Of the war.
tWhiteheads story reached the
United States through censorship
and normal communications chan
nels Friday afternoon and was pub
lished prominently by newspapers
across the country. 1t was ahead of
any comparable account to reach the
United StatesD
1t was no accident that Whitehead
came through first.
The 26-year-old Kentuckian has
been overseas most of the time since
October, 1942. He crossed the Libyan
Desert with Gen. Sir Bernard L.
Montgomerys 9Th Army, covered the
Italian campaign from the Salerno
beachhead and hit the Normandy
beaches with the 1st Infantry Divi-
sion on D-day.
Luck Helped.
Whitehead got his beat by a COM
bination Of forethought, good luck
and drive. He arranged several days
ago for the loan of a jeep to get his
story and a small reconnaissance
plane to fly it back. His driver was
Sergt. Adrian Pinsince of Evanston,
ILL.,, a college trained specialist who
speaks French like a native.
He is the best scrounger I ever
met in the Army" said Whitehead
wherever we stopped, as soon as
Adrian started talking, the French
people made us welcome and we had
some of the best meals ever ate
in my life"
Most of the correspondents joined
the column trying to reach Paris
from the west. Whitehead took an
other route, went through the small
village of Bures sur Yvettes, south
west of Paris, and encountered a
French armored column turning east
at Limours toward the Grand Ma
tional highway leading into Paris.
Il was tipped by a Frenchman
that this was Brig. Gen. Jacques

They stayed overnight In a French
farmhouse, but were up at daybreak
The column was held up again by

Then, as the defenders broke and
the column started into Paris, a
French captain stepped up and said
that by the order of Gems. de Gaulle
and lie Clerc, no one except the COM
bat force could enter the capital
without written permission.
An American colonel said that only
the American general commanding
the entire operation could issue an
order barring noncombatants anc
Whitehead decided that gave us a
clear right to enter. I took the whee
and drove back to where the captain
stopped me. He gave me the same
story, but I just stepped on the gas
and drove on in with the column

General Manager w. P. Hilliard
said yesterday all departments

He attributed the impending decline
In employment to "cutbacks in some

The announcement was made in
statement to employees after the

they hope to be one jump ahead OF

New Synthetic Rubber Process
To Cut Monpower BottIeneck

The synthetic rubber industry is
on the way to beating the manpower
bottleneck, thanks to chemists of
Purdue University, Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology and the General
Tire e. Rubber Co.. who have dis
covered just the mixing of rubber
in liquid form with carbon black
which provides the wearing sur
face for tires.
The new process. which already
has been placed in operation in
General Tires Baytown (Tex)
plant, promises to cut milling time
of synthetic rubber by one third. re-

the industry and Fastening the day

worn out passenger car tires.
One official of the company esti-
mated that all Government-owned
synthetic rubber plants, given ton

method. would be operating under
the stepped up program within 6
months.

O'Neil, president of the company
describes as dirty, rough job"
Members Of Congress, Govern

newsmen yesterday watched as
scientists turned valves and started
vari-colored liquids in motion from
glass containers set up on the stage

the words Of Gilbert Swart, General
Tire research director, is added to

ready for manufacture into tires
without the need for milling.
Mr.. Swart reported that the tires
now being turned out under the new
process are as good as those manu-

for discovering the right mixture OF
chemicals for the carbon black solu-

Al Told to Leland Stowe


(Copyrisht, 1914. By North American
Newspaper Alliance)
Every full moon since March, lo41,
British planes have landed in the
hinterlands Of France, keeping 4
brief and dangerous rendezvous with
members Of the French under
ground. They brought radios, CAM
eras and other important spy
weapons. They took back detailed
reports on German strength and
activities in every French depart
ment. Sometimes they took back
stranded Allied flyers, or French
underground chiefs called for con-
sultations in London.
Every plane that landed in my
district-even II sometimes mired
in mud-got of again. In other
districts planes quite often smashed
up in landing. If they lost a wheel
or couldn't be Immediately repaired,
they had to be burned. Then the
pilot had to be hidden until some
one could come for him. Some re-
turned by air. Some were caught
by the Germans. Some escaped to
Spain. Their planes are little and
very slow. A Messerschmitt could
catch them like a sitting duck.
Many Supplies Dropped.
The eight nights around the full

this period each month we received

agricultural reconstruction, agrariar
