Alcohol VS.. Petroleum

No rubber expert Will commit
himself on which is better as
the base for synthetic rubber,
petroleum or alcohol The only
thing they will agree on is that
alcohol IS about three times as
expensive But in program
as urgent a the synthetic. the
cost has not been allowed 10 be

that factor will be extremely
important.
As for the use Of petroleum
in making rubber affecting the
oil and gasoline supply of the
nation. +. p Davis Jr. chair
man Of the board Of l.. s. Rub
Der Co. points out that the
amount of petroleum needed for
the rubber program Is compare

'In 36 hours the petroleum

passage of another week still

some prolongation of war produc-

II is not improbable. however,
that some economic advantage
may result in that the disposal
of SURPRISES and Stockpiles may
be facilitated. This is the more
likely in that the military author

troops defending the industrial sub
urbS of Caen on the south bank of
the Orne, which turns sharply south
after flowing east-west through
Caen itself.
CLEAR CAIN AREAS
Front dispatches disclosed that
Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery
tanks and infantry, supported by
warships anG docket-firing planes,
had cleared a mile stretch of the
north bank of the Orne in Caen
and on either side of the city.
A headquarters spokesman said
the final stages of the British ad-
vance into Caen yesterday were SO
rapid that the Germans were not
believed to have hao time to destroy
all the bridges across the Orne. g.
The British first pushed across
the Odon river some five miles
southwest of Caen nearly two weeks
ago and so developed their threat
to the Orne river that the Germans
committed major portion of their
armor there.
The line sWayed back and forth
curing fierce German counterat-
tacks, but the British held firmly
to their bridgeheads and paved the
way for the offensive launched to-
day from its southeastern corner. q.

To the northwest, the Germans

GET ALONG TOGETHER
I didn't pick up much about the
rest of the boys, but they are all
pleasant lads who work hard and
get along together These others
are Corp. Henry Omen, of Depew,
N. Y, Pfc. Harold Dunlap of Poplar
Bluffs, Mo-, Pvt. Norman KINNEY
of Hanover, Pa, Corp. Clyde Libbey
of Lincoln Me, Pfc. Jerry Fulling-
ton of Fremont, Neb., and Corp. Bin
Nelson, Scots Bluff, Neb.
Corporal Libbey is from the po-
tato-growing country in Maine and
1 told him that girl and l stayed
all night in Lincoln about 7 years
ago. But unfortunately all l could
remember about Lincoln was that
we stayed there, so our attempts to
dig up some mutual acquaintance
or even a building we both remem-
bered fell kim of flat.
On my second day with the bat
terry the boys asked their officers
if it was all right for them to write
in their letters home that I was
staying with them. The officers
said yes, SO the boys all got out
paper, and since it had turned warm
for a change we sat and lay around
on the grass while they wrote short
letters home, using ammunition and
ration boxes for writing boards.
When they got through all of them
had me sign their letters.
LIKE THE JOB
The boys say they didn't choose
ack-ack but were just automatically
put into it. They do like it, how
ever, as long as they have to be
in the army. They are all over be-
ing gun-shy, and now that they
have been through their opening
weeks of war they aren't even
especially afraid.
Their battery commander is Capt.
julius Reiver, of Wilmington, Del.
He stays up all night too, directing
their firing from his dugout, where
information is phoned in to him.
