Use increases

Davis gave a good comparison
OF The use of rubber in the first
war and now. In World War |,
65I2,eee tons or rubber were con-
sumed. In this war, SS2, 900 tons
have already been consumed for
direct military use. or 167
pounds for every man in the
armed services.
Current demand is still in
creasing. Last year, the manu-
fdcturerS set record for mill
tary tires by turning out 1850
900. This year, they are expected
to produce "a f,25O,000. Average
production of truck tires before
the war was never over 1000
600 a year.
Current rate Of production of
tires is already around 1S,000,-
600 a year. 1t will rise to 2S,-
100000 when new facilities, new
plants and more manpower is
brought in, Davis stated.

u. s. Rubber Chief
Praises Synthetics
BY SILER FREEMAN

Al rubber men have a deep
respect for the progress made in
the ficid Of synthetic rubber.
They have worked closely with
il and have seen the miracles
their chemists have performed
with f..
F. b. Davis Jr., chairman of
the board of L. s. Rubber. is
one who has a healthy respect
for Syntheticc. He talked yes
tcrddy before the Economic
Club and gave a down-to-earth
analysis of what's good and bad
about n.
The amazing part of his
analysis is that passenger car
tires. made completely of syn
thetlc. are now rated az IS per
cent Of the service value eX-
peeled Of -first-eFade pfewar
passenger car tires made of
natural rubber.
When yoa consider that it
took 40 years to bring the crude
rubber tire up 10 perfection.
against about four years for the
synthetic, il IS no wonder that
tire makers have a deep respect
for the miracle of rubber.

a WPB order halting production
Of industrial machinery and plant

Water Act

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (INS)
Robert w. Kenny, attorney gen.
eral of California, today roundly
criticized the proposed America
Mexican water treaty and accused
the state department of "vicariouN
generosity" y
Kenny was a witness before the
Senate foreign affairs committee
which is holding hearings on the
treaty to establish control Of the
flow Of waters from the United
States to Mexico.
Kenny explained:
'It Is not skillful treaty
making to take away forever
the waters for which progressive
American communities have 30
recently and so successfully
fought a great peoples battle.
"It Is not wise statesmanship
that would take those dearly
bought waters Colorado River
basin) and give them to a for
eign power"
According to the propose
treaty, 100000 acre feet OF
water yearly will be "guaran-
teed" 10 Mexico; and in return
the United States will receive
$4,000 acre feet OF water from
the Rio Grande.
The contemplated use of the
diverted water for expansion OF
cotton acreage in Mexico, viii not
do much, If anything, TO raise
significantly the general level OF
the Mexican economy, Kenny said.

NO WAY OF CHECKING
He added that apparently the
state had no way of keeping
check on the number of cards in
the possession of each person.
The manager of another store
reported another flaw. AS a test,
he said. he applied for a ration
card, using the name of one friend,
the address of another and cor
rect description of himself. He
picked a ration book number at
random and. with the new card,
bought whisky at both a state

He said most of the cards were
taken from people who did not

LANSING, Jan. 80 (UP)-
Whether Michigan will experience
a potato shortage during the next
few months depends upon the
supply Of southern sFewh potatoes
reaching this state, according to
c. J. Borum, agricultural statis-
tician for the u. S. Department of

5, e00,0 900 bushels of potatoes were
on hand in Michigan Jan. / as
compared with S,500,000 bushels
a year ago when thousands of
bushels went to waste because of
an over-Supply. The 10-year aver
age for the number of potatoes on
hand at the beginning of each
year is 9,756,000 bushels, Borum
added.
The number of bushels on hand
now is tbs lowest since 1943-
a shortage year-when only A.
SOC, 900 bushels were available for
public sale, Borum said.

Providing for the Spiritual Physical
And Mental Needs Of Our Fighting Men

(This Is the ninth OF series OF
articles dealing Dith the Army Serp-
ice Forces and the aH-encompdssing
role 1t is playing in the logistics OF
total war.)
BY Nelson M. Shepard.
Leaving aside the question of training
and leadership, we have come to think
Of our Army in superlative terms as
the best weaponed in the world, the
best equipped, the best fed and the
best doctored. All this has been a
part Of the responsibility of the Army
Service Forces. But when the OH
cial history of the Army Service Forces
is recorded, prominence also must be
given to the fact that never before has
any nation done 50 much to provide
for the spiritual, physical and mental
needs and comforts of its fighting men.
Practically every kind of necessary
service which people take for granted
in civilian life must be provided to
soldiers living under military authority.
Besides his clothing, food, weapons and
equipment, his transportation, his
shelter and his medical care, the soldier
has other wants which the Army Service
Forces, as the biggest business in the
world" must undertake to meet.
The soldier is still human being"
