had made an epic drive of 25
miles eastward to capture Cape
Moskins' airdrome and seal the
trap in which thousands of Japs
in the Rabaul area were sur
rounded.
The 40th, which is also known
as the "Rattlesnake" Division,
struck with the speed of that
reptile when it landed on Luz
zon. Eleven days after the in
vasion, elements had entered
Tarlac, key highway-railroad
junction. Smashing onward, the
doughs of the 40th were the
first Yanks to reach Clark Field,
target of the first enemy bomb
ing attack in the Philippines af-
ter Pearl Harbor. The Sunburst
men went on to capture Fort
Stotsenburg and Camp O'Don-
nell, where hundreds of prison
ers of Bataan and Corregidor
had died.
In early March, elements of
the 10th landed on Panay Is
land, in the Visays, completely
surprising the enemy. On the
third day of fighting, the dough-
boys took Iloilo, second most i'm
portant city in the Philippines.
Within 10 days, all of Panay had
been liberated, and captured
airstrips were already in use.
Later in the same month, the
division jumped across Guimaras
Strait for an invasion of Negros.
Twenty-seven hours after H.
Hour, the capital of Negros was
in American hands; by June /,

Sen. Wheeler to Attack
United Nations Setup

Ball, citing the emergence of
the atomic bomb as q weapon,
asked Connally il he thought the
world could survive another
World War;"
II hope this (UNO) will pre-
vent another World War;" Con-
nally replied, "but I'm not run
ming off after some butterfly of
world government"
To Connally's contention that
the large populations of India,
China and Russia would leave
this country outnumbered In any
world State, Taylor responded:
"I'd rather be outvoted than
struck by an atomic bomb"
Although he voted for ratifi.
cation of the United Nations
Charter several months ago,
Wheeler has been critical of
many Of It's provisions and left
no doubt among Senators that
he plans a sharply-worded re-
view Of the entire Foreign Re-
lations field.
He made repeated efforts to
gain the floor yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Nov. q -
(P)-- Plenty will be said about
this: For the first time America
is in a position tC govern the
price and production Of the
worlds natural rubber.
Before the war, in 1910, we
used $4,000 tons OF rubber, ali
imported. That was more than
the rest of the world used. We
were paying about 10 cents a
pound for 1t.
Most of it came from the Far
East. War shut off our imports.
We needed rubber. The Govern
ment spent S750,000,000 on 81
synthetic rubber plants. Those
plants now can turn out l,OOO,-
600 tons a year. ,.
PLANTS WORKING
The plants - Government
owned but operated for the gov
eminent by chemical, petroleum
and rubber comprehensive al

duce goes to the government
which sells it to commercial
firms.
In the first five months OF
1945 the synthetic rubber cost
the government 2712 cents a
pound to produce. The govern
ment sold it TO commercial firms
at 1912 cents.
This was q loss of nine cents a

WLB Stoff
to Receive
Pink Slips

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 -
Up Saturday will be pink slip
day at the War Labor Board.
About 1000 of the 800 men,
bers of the staff will be notified
that their wartime jobs will end
one month hence, January /.
The others will remain with
the Wage Sterilization Division,
whose chief job until the
Sterilization Act expires next
June 30 - will be to head off
wage cuts.
This task arises from a pro-
vision in the act requiring gov
eminent approval for any cut
in basic pay below the level paid
for the same job between Janu-
airy and September Is, 1912.
During the war that provision
was rarely invoked. Instead the
emphasis was on the so-called
Little Steel Formula which linn
tied basic wage rates to Is per
cent above January, 1941, levels.
At one time WLB employed
$500 persons in Washington and
in its IL regional areas. Since
President Truman first announc-
ed that the board would be dis
solved as promptly as possible,
the staff has been job hunting
when it could find time from
the task Of liquidating the agen-
cy.
STREAMLINE BOARD
he sterilization division,
which will carry on as a unit
Of the Labor Department, will
be streamlined version of the
War Labor Board - with a six
man board instead of IL. The
two public representatives will
be Chairman w. Willard Writ
and Sylvester Garrett. Industry
members will be Earl N. Can
non and r. Randall Irwin. and
labor members will be Robert
j. Watt of the AFL and Carl j.
Shipley of the CLIO. All had
experience with the War Labor
Board.
The IL regional boards will
be cut to six members each, with
only the chairman on a full time
basis. These boards are located
in Boston, New York. Philadel-
phia, Atlanta, Cleveland, Chi
cago, Kansas City, Dallas, Den
yer, San Francisco, Detroit and
Seattle.
The division will start hand
ing down decisions in another
week, according to one WLB Of
fetal.
In addition to ruling on wage
cut cases, the division will act
on requested wage increases re-
curing price relief or increased
cost to the government on con-
tracts.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-LE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27-R
- Senator Wheeler (D-Mont)
waited with mounting impa-
thence today an opportunity to
gain the Senate floor for q full
scale attack on the United Ma
tons organization as it is now
constituted.
The Montanan, ready with a
major address, was blocked in
his first attempt by a sharp de-
bate on whether this country
shouldn't go even further along
the path Of international cooper
alton and join a world govern
ment.
DEBATE TOUCHED OFF
The debate was touched off
yesterday by three younger
members of the Chamberlain
ators Ball (R.Minn), Fulbright
(D-Ark) and Taylor (D-Idaho)
shortly after the Senate took
up a bill to put this country ac-
lively in the UNO.
They ran into immediate op,
position from Senators Connally
(O-Tex) and Vandenberg Or
Mlch), who are teaming to put
through the measure which
would permit use of American
troops in an international police
force against aggression.
Connally, who only a short
while before had placed the Bill
before his colleagues with the
assertion this country must act
with vigor and determination or
let the world tumble about
US" declared:
II don't want world govern
ment, ever"
And Vandenberg, contending
"the premature perfectionists
may unwittingly be dangerous"
pleaded that the United Nations
be given trial before we try
any further steps"
FAVOR UNO
Ball, 40, Taylor, Al, and Full
bright, 40, preached the world
idea in rapid success
sion after Connally had said
some people complain that UNO
does not go far enough. Each of
these said he favored UNO, but
as a beginning to world govern
ment.

ments, the cost IS going down
Synthetic rubber now is costing
the Government about 1872
cents a pound, which is also
the selling price. The cost may
drop further.
Cali the figures used here are
from Government sources.)
But synthetic rubber is not
yet good enough for all purpos-
es. Some natural rubber still
must be imported. We can make
synthetically about IS per cent
of all the rubber we need. We
have to import the remaining Is
per cent.
GET NATURAL RUBBER
We still are getting natural
rubber from Brazil, about 3d.
900 tons year. The govern
ment is paying SO cents a pound
for it, selling it to commercial
firms at the OPA ceiling price OF
22l2 cents a pound, a loss of
40l2 cents a pound.
We started buying rubber
from Brazil under this arrange
ment-which lasts until June
80, 1947-during the war when
we needed rubber badly.
But before the war almost all
our rubber was imported from
the British, Dutch and French
possessions in the Far East,
Java, Borneo, Malaga, Ceylon,
Indo-C China.
Those countries have been
taken back from the japanese.
They'll be in production, sooner
or later. But how much will they
produce? The amount will de-
pend in large measure on how
much natural rubber we want.
That will depend on what we do
with our So synthetic plants.
WILL STUDY PROBLEM
There is special State De-
partment mission in London
now talking with the British,
Dutch and French on the rubber
problem. The American mission
can make no agreements. It's job
is to study the problem.
It will report back here to the
State Department. Meanwhile, a
special inter-agency policy COM
mittee of the Government-the
State War, Navy, Justice and
Commerce Departments are on
it is studying the problem
here.
Sometime after January
that committee is expected to
recommend to Reconversion Di-
rector Snyder what to do with
our synthetic plants and what
to do about rubber imports.
POSES PROBLEMS
Snyder in turn probably will
report to President Truman
who then is expected to make
recommendations to Congress.
Since all this takes time, Con-
gressional action may not start
until next Spring.
It seems certain this country
will want to keep some of the SO
synthetic plants in operation to
build up supplies and as hedge
against any emergency. But
these questions are involved:
Will the cost of producing
rubber alphabetically by that
time be SO low as to make it
worthwhile for commercial
firms to want to take over the
plants? They'd want to know
what to expect in the way of
protection from the competition
Of cheap natural rubber imports.
If we keep our synthetic
plants going and take only a
dribble Of natural rubber from
the Far East, that will mean
wide unemployment for the
people in the countries there.
That involves our foreign rela-
tions.
But at least with our synthet-
ic plants we now are in a posi-
ton to bargain on natural rub
Der prices.

special assistant drawing not less
than $1,000 year will be considered
by the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Reorganization of Con-

to the work of the committee.
Raising congressional salaries from
$4,000 was much discussed ques-
ton during the past session and
was included as an amendment to
the Federal civil service pay bill
recently passed by the Senate. 1t
was withdrawn when some Senators
threatened to vote against the bill.
Also in the subcommittee report
is a recommendation for inclusion
of members of the House and Senate
