The Rubber Supply

The United States government built
S700,000,000 worth of synthetic rubber
plants to meet the war emergency.
Some are considered below par. Others
are held to be efficient. Their
production approximates 100000 tons.
Because the japanese did less DAM
age to the rubber plantations of the
Dutch East Indies than expected, it is
believed the supply of natural rubber
will soon be 100000 tons. The world
demand is estimated at 100000 tons.
The United States will require at least
half of this. What is to become of the
surplus?
The answer is being sought by a
committee headed by William L. Bait
In It's membership are representatives
of the War, Navy, Commerce. Justice
and State Departments, the Rubber
Development and Reserve CORPORATION
and the Reconstruction Finance Com
mittee. Its chief recommendation. ar
cording to forecast will be the establish
ment of world rubber agreement. But
public hearings will be conducted to OBJ
tain the views of manufacturers. There
after, and with completion of the COM
mittee's report, the problem will be
presented to Congress.
In any circumstances, the problem
OF dlsposing of or operating this coun-
trys better synthetic plants would still
nave to be solved. AS it is reported that
ways have been found to improve on the
natural product, it would be sheer waste
to close the plants. If the home product
Is as good or better than Indonesian

So she tossed the book aside and
went on by guess. The cake, sor-

By JOHN SKIES

An item appearing herein the
other day provoked some COM
ment, brought in several telephone
calls, introduced me to some folks
I might not otherwise have known.
It was something about an old
notion Of mine that the best cooks
cook by guess and never turn to a
cook book for guidance.
There was mention made there
in that the best way to cook tur-
nip green's, or any of the greens
for that matter, including collards,
is to throw three or four pods OF
red pepper into the green pot and
let the greens soak up the heat OF
the pepper.
There were three or four COM
ments on this, one right peppery
within itself. One lady called in
to say-and she was obviously a
new hand with both greens and
pepper-that the yarn got her into
quite a kettle of fish, so to speak.
When her husband went to taste
the mess he jumped from the table
with a howl. She'd simply had too
heavy a hand with the pepper.
Her husband had to use precious
butter to extract the sting from
his burning palate.
Would I please tell her exactly
how much red pepper to put into
a pot of greens? I explained that
that sort of a question was about
the same as the one about how
high is up. And that, further
more, her dilemma just went to
prove my point about the best
cooks knowing instinctively how
much of this and how much of
that to put into cookery. Certain
ly, I wouldn't know how much red
pepper to put into pot of greens.
Next comment was from a lady
who was baking a cake. Word
was brought to me by her hus-
band. She had her cook book laid
out on the kitchen table and she d
drop in a teaspoonful of this and
then run back to the book for fur.
Their instructions. She was going
through this routine when her hus
band walked into the kitchen.

you could do the best cooking with
out a cook book. Or at least he

Expecting Too Much?

At the Potsdam conference, the Big
Three prohibited Germany to operate
manufacturing plants capable of max
ing munitions and other war nipple
ments. including aircraft and ocean
vessels. On Saturday the four-power
Allied Control Council abolished nine
more of Germany's key industries.
A Berlin dispatch of the Associated
Press notes:
"Synthetic gasoline, rubber, am
monia, primary aluminium and mag
nesium, ball and taper bearings, certain
war chemicals and even heavy farm
tractors and heavy machine tools were
among the items erased from the form
er Reich's list"
It is the Allied purpose to turn Ger
many into an agricultural country, but
an exception is made in the foregoing
list providing that industrial operations
may be continued in certain cases to
take care of essential exports in order
to pay for needed imports.
Whether the arrangement will work
out or not, whether it will be accepted
by the German people or breed great
err unrest, can be proved only by time
and the experiment. But it is not to be
expected that people largely engaged
in industry before the war can be
changed en- mass into farmers after the
surrender.
It is imperative, of course, that Ger
many shall not again manufacture the
tools of war, openly or in secret, but
such a Transformation as the Council
seems to contemplate is not in keeping
with human nature. If Germany is ever
to take it's place among the nations
its people must have chance to help
work out their own salvation.

E. Phillips Oppenheim

Time was when E. Phillips Open
helm, who died on Sunday, commanded
as large an audience as, say, Hall Cain
or Marie Corelli. The fact is the more
remarkable because he was just a
youngster when they had reached their
highest popularity as weavers of fic-
ton.
It was due, doubtless, to his choice
of subjects. While the others were
writing about strange episodes in
human experience, save for the one
superhuman adventure expounded by
Miss Corelli, he selected field in litera-
ture which always absorbs wide atten-
tion-stories of intrigue, espionage,
royal mysteries, international spy
rings, the breeding Of revolution and
upseating of governments.
Because few mortals rub elbows with
any of this, and because he possessed
exceptional talent for objective writing
his popularity was greater than most
and equalled by few for half century
in the sphere of light literature. Like
other authors of popular novels it is i'm
probable that one of his hundred an(
fifty books will survive the next decade

one of these items SOS he could
flick out the things that could
best be left unsaid, turned to me,
a little impatiently I thought, and
muttered something about me hav-
ing most plebian tastes and he
couldn't see how I could eat such
matters as turnip greens, OF all
things! Naturally, I didn't talk
back to him. I don't want to sell
my livelihood for a mess Of greens.
But I'm willing to lay him odds
there're more people in these parts
who eat, and like, turnip greens
than don't.
The Boss is a man Of delicate
tastes and I have an idea he'd
like me to eat some such truck as
crepes suzettes. Okay, I'll eat
them. I can even make them, and
have done it. And I don't need
a cook book to lead me through
the intricacies of the right dashes
OF honey, orange peel, and so on.
I also like Baked Alaska. But I
find that neither Baked Alaska nor
crepes suzettes stick to the inner
man like turnip greens.
In doing my research on this
item-you'd be surprised to what
lengths 60 to ferret out all the
little details. Why, there are any
number of hours I spend with a
dictionary trying to figure out a
foolproof way to put all those
words together into some sort of
sensible sequence-but, back to
the research: I've wandered over
town these passed several days
looking in on various chefs in To-
cal restaurants.
Not one have I found who uses
cook book. When you press the
point on them they tell you
they've always cooked by guess.
Some of them served apprentice
ships under other cooks, but none
of them ever heard of cook book
being used by the teachers.
ana most OF them just picked up
cooking.
A Negro cook in one of the res
taurants told me this:
II guess I does cook by guess. l
just picked up cooking, but l never
did pick up reading. Guess I
couldn't read a cook book if | had
one"
That sort of seems to be the
whole idea: those good cooks just
keep on going along throwing in a
pinch of this and a pinch of that.
There isn't much rhyme or rea-
son to what they do. But general
ly what they do comes out pretty
edible.

Americas Card Authority

Many readers write to ask what
principle is involved in a squeeze
play. The answer is: First, count
your tricks; second, pay close at
tention to the bidding. DR.. Max
Saindell of Forest Hills, N. Y,
found it paid to count his tricks in
today's hand.
When the dummy went down
DR.. Shiadel (South could count
five spade tricks, five club tricks
it the clubs broke, the ace of
hearts and diamond. If the dia-
mond finesse worked he could
make grand slam, but DR.. Shin
dell realized from the bidding that
west undoubtedly held the dia-
m n king. Therefore, he won the
1lrst trick with the ace of hearts,
casned five club tricks, discarded
TWO hearts from his own hand.
and then ran five spade tricks
dlscarding the five and ten of dia-
monds from his hand. This left
him with nothing but the ace
queen of diamonds.
West was in bad position on
the last spade trick. He had to
hold the queen of hearts or dunn
my's jack would be good. He had
to blank down to the king of dia-
monds. Declarer then led dunn
my's six of diamonds and went
up with the ace, catching the blank
king. The queen was good for the
thirteenth trick.

Pau1ey-Ickes Row

Whether it is true or false that Ed
win W. Pauley, the Pacific Coast oil
operator nominated by President Tru-
man for the position of under-secretary
of the Navy, told Secretary of the In
terror Ickes that he could secure large
contributions to the democratic CAM
paign fund if the government would
drop it's suit to acquire all lands now
or at any time under water, it is appar-
ent that Senate confirmation and Mr..
Pauley's subsequent appointment as
Secretary of the Navy, which is indicat-
ed by Washington reports, would find
two members of the Cabinet at swords
point. Mr.. Truman, whose official path
is more and more thorny the further
he goes, would find his troubles great
ly increased.
While there is reason to question
the ACCESSIBILITY of bringing an oil man
into highly responsible position in
government, the fact that MIR. Pauley
opposed the federal attempt to get pos
session of submerged lands from the
states, in which title has been vested
for years out of mind, is highly COM
mendable, whatever opinion may be
held concerning the methods he is said
to have employed.
True, oil companies operating wells
in close-in Pacific waters of the Cali
fornia coast would be heavy losers if the
federal suit should be decided in favor
of the government. But as all filled-in|
lands would revert to the government
at the same time, the oil companies
losses would be small indeed in compari-
son with the total.
The Star dwelt on this a few days
ago. In addition to examples then cited,
it is worth while to add that the San
Francisco waterfront together with
block upon block of business property
built upon land which in Argonaut days
was Jackson's Cove, and practically all
Of the city south of Market street, east
of Montgomery, would be subject to
federal confiscation, though it has been
under private ownership for genera
tions.
If Mr.. Pauley did in actual fact make
the proposition Secretary Ickes charges
him with, his action is not to be con-
doned. If he is in the movement to stop
the federal grab which has Secretary
Ickes' endorsement, it is to be hoped he
will. find better method to stop it,
whether he is confirmed in the position
for which he has been nominated or
not.

Waddllng about barnyard, I

AS I beheld the beautiful creatures
I seemed to see in their degrade
ton the plight of a multitude of
humans.
Like those wild ducks, we were
born for freedom, creatures of the
upper air and far spaces. But
somehow or other, we have settled
down to the dull and well-fed COM
placency of humdrum, barnyard
existence. We might as well not
have soul-wings, for all the use we
make of them.
Instead of the language of our
wide-faring fellows we are free.
we speak the ''quack-quack" of the
comfortable tanned. Our heritage
of liberty has been lost.
For freedom hast Thou set us
fire., o Lord. So give us the wings
of liberty, and the purpose to use
them. We pray for enabling to live
