VAST ALCOHOL
SOURCE seen IN
WASTED WOOD
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

DIX OOHOAhL WAAAAAMAO
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
washington, May 3.-(UP)--Ap-
proximately 100000, 600 gallons of
alcohol-vitally needed for our war
machine-could be extracted from
the wood wasted each year in this
country, DR.. j. Alfred Hall, princi-
pal biochemist of the United States
forest service, estimated today.
1t could be obtained from the
tree-the branches, bark, culls and
two-thirds of the average lumber
sawdust which never goes to mar
ket, he explained.
Industrial alcohol manufactured
from this source, he said, would
cost one-fourth Of the 81 per gal
lon average now being paid by the
government.
The War Production Board has
announced the 1914 industrial al
cohol requirements as $4,000, 600
gallons, two-thirds Of which they
expect to be yielded by grain, and
the balance by molasses and a
petroleum by-product.
Cites Advantages
Wood as an ethyl alcohol source
is superior to grain because 1t Is
cheaper and not subject to food
demands and crop hazards, DR..
Hall said.
He visualized a day when wood
sugar would supply alcohol in price
competition with blackstrap mo-
lasses, the sugar refining residue,
which was the source Of most pre-
war industrial alcohol.
He added that III the synthetic
rubber industry demands alcohol
at ANYTHING approaching the rate
now required, blackstrap can not
produce the necessary volume. and
a supplementary source will have
to be found"
He said wood sugar alcohol was
the logical solution to this antici-
pated need.
Experiments at the Forest Prod
ucts Laboratory pilot plant, Mar
uuette, Mich, have increased the
yield per ton of dry wood waste
from 20 gallons during the first
World War to present-day aver
age of more than so GALLONS, DR..
Hall pointed out.
Plant Being Built
A $l,000,000 plant, designed to
produce 100000 gallons Of alcohol
annually from wood pulp waste,
is being built at Bellingham, Wash,
to be operated by the Puget Sound
Pulp and Timber Co.
Another plant which would uti-
lie sawmill waste as an alcohol
source Is being considered by the
requirements division Of the WPB,
and already has the approval Of the
WPB chemical division.
The project calls for con-
struction of $2,247o0 plant at
Willamette Valley, Springfield,
Ore, by the Willamette Valley
Wood Chemical Co., and would
yield 100000 gallons of alcohol
annually.
At present this country has no
plants for producing alcohol from
wood waste. Germany was known
| to have had at least 20 before
Pearl Harbor. italy and Japan
also were using similar methods.

LABOR INSTITUTE
DISCUSSION HELD
collective Bargaining"
Theme of LabOr-Manage-
ment Symposium

Collective bargaining in negoti-
atoms between management and
labor received favorable endorse
ment although acknowledgment Of
its limitations was noted by speak
ers at last nights forum session
Of the Diocesan Labor Institute.
Speakers were Roger Gay, presi-
dent Of the Bristol company and
John ]. Driscoll, executive secre-
tary of the c. I. o. The meeting
was the second in series being
conducted by the Diocesan Labor
Institute under the guidance Of Rev.
Joseph Donnelly, director.
Mr.. Gay in his discussion out
lined the background of negotia-
tons between his company and the
union relative to contracts. BY
means Of collective bargaining %
of the union IS demands were mu-
tually arrived at by means of co)lec-
tive bargaining while the remain-
ing 6 were submitted to the War
Labor Board.
Pointing out that relations be-
tween his company and the union
during bargaining periods have al
ways been cordial and based on an
attitude of confidence in each other.
Mr.. Driscoll pointed out that
while union and management may
sit down together and sign an
agreement the controlling power in
wage agreements is held by the
WLB. Mr.. Driscoll cited the proof
that the .WLB has justified its ex-
istence throughout the wartime
period.
Father Donnelly acted as mod
orator during the question period
following.

By s. J. WOOLF

NEA STAN correspondent
England, May Lieutenant Gen.
eral Omar N. Bradley, commanding
United States ground forces for the
invasion, Is busy these days visiting
his various Army units scattered all
over this island. When / wanted to
have a talk with him and make a
sketch, the best could get was o
15-minute appointment for o.
clock in the morning. But the Is
minutes stretched into more than
an hour, and ! not only made the
drawing but also learned q good
deal about this inspiring leader.
For there are no fuss and feath-
ers about Bradley, the doughboys'
general. He is as plain as an old
CT. shoe, and q tin hat Is more fit
ting headgear for him than q brass
one.
If the censors would let me, I
would set down all we talked
about. The conversation ranged
from Van Dykes paintings to
Sherman's campaigns, but I wish
could tell mothers back home
many ohter things the general
told me, so that they could know
more about the kind Of man who
is in command Of their boys. It
would be reassuring for them to
learn how he regards his job and
its responsibilities, and to see the
way he acts toward the enlisted
men.
GREAT REGARD FOR MEN
BY the time left him knew
why they would go through hell
If Brad" ordered them to and I
know that he would not issue
that order If he would not 60 him
self and was not certin 1t was
the only way.
This deep concern for his men,
and an entire absence of dog"
mark all his actions. Having to
cover much territory, he often
flies. The other day he dropped
down in a camp. Another general,
seeing a large transport plane on
the field, said, General Bradley
must be here" Just then Bradley
came out Of an enlisted mans
hut where he had gone to take
off his flying suit. He flung 1t into
the tiny Cub plane which he in
variably uses.
He Is essentially an outdoor man.
Before the war he did a lot Of
hunting and fishing. Now, although
once he tried to pot German
sniper, most Of his shooting Is con-
fined to firing at stones thrown into
the air by one Of his aides.
He doesn't smoke, drinks but lit
tie, and likes a game OF golf or
poker with his cronies. He Is mar
ried to his childhood sweetheart
and has one daughter, a Vassar
graduate soon to marry o West
Pointer.
Although he is six feet tall and
straight as a ramrod, and not
withstanding the fact that he
wears three rows Of ribbons which
are decorations from United States
Britain, Frnace and Morocco, he
looks more like q school teacher
than soldier. His bushy black eye

brows, his small, dark piercing eyes,
his dome like forehead from which
his nose, thin at the bridge and
broadening out at the nostrils, juts
abruptly, and his heavily under
Tipped mouth all go to make up a
face such as Ichabod Crane might
have had. And his schoolmasterish
look Is increased when he puts on
his large, tinted glasses.
ATHLETE AND SCHOLAR
General Bradley,s father was a
teacher, and he himself was in
structor Of mathematics at his
alma mater, West Point. He was
born 81 years ago in Moberly,
Mo-, and for a short time after
his graduation from high school
worked in the railway station
there. He wanted to 60 to college,
but lacked the monel. Hearing
that tuition was free at West
Point, he wrote his Congressman

who nominated him as an alter
nate. When the principal failed
to pass the exams, young Omar
(who was named after q country
editor, not the poeD got the APP
pointment. At the academy, like
his classmate Dwight Eisenhower,
Bradley made as much Of a repu-
tation as an athlete as scholar.
He has been in the Army ever
since graduation, but says he has
spent the last IS years in the
Army explaining why he never
got across during the first world
war.
The conquerer Of Bizerte will
have no explaining to do after
this war has ended. From his
headquarters in an Army truck
he also led the corps which played
a large part in the taking Of Sicily.
But his remarkable successes in
Tunisia and Sicily were just a
warm-up for the big game ahead.
