Rubber Plant Buys Factory

New York, Aug 3-United States Rubber Company announced today the purchase of a government-built plant in Fort Wayne, Ind. for the production of industrial rubber pro- ducts. The purchase price was s2,- 100000.
 The plant, built in l941 by the Reconstruction Finance Corp. for the Stakeholder Aviation Corp, was used during the war for the manu facture of aircraft engine gears.
 The buildings are ultra modern in design, one-story, air-conditioned, windowless and equipped through out with fluorescent lighting. The floor space, including both manu featuring and administrative de- partments, totals more than 400,- 900 feet.
 To Move Equipment
 Herbert E. Smith, president Of United States Rubber Company, an- nounced that equipment will be moved to the site as soon as pos sible to meet the need for increased production of rubber products re- quired by industry.
 It is expected that the plant will employ about 800 people at first, in- creasing to 1900 in six months. Further increases are expected when full production is attained.
 Fort Wayne will specialize in the manufacture of automobile rubber parts other than tires and tubes, MT. Smith said. The company makes some 200 auto and truck pro- ducts, including engine mountings for reducing vibration, steering wheels, rubber window stripping, gaskets, grommets and seals. The fabrication of these articles will be transferred to Fort Wayne from the company's Detroit plant. The bulk of facilities in the motor capital will be devoted to tires.
 To Make Pipes
 Other products to be made in Fort Wayne include rubber bonded grind ing wheels, industrial adhesives, rubber covered rolls and rubber lined tanks and pipes. These ar- ticles are currently made in Passaic, N. J., Providence, R. I. and Detroit. Another important product will be vibration absorption mountings for radios, railroad cars, street cars, aircraft, farm implements, house. hold appliances, industrial machin- cry. elevators and air conditioning equipment. The company is a pioneer in the development of these vibration dampeners. A large staff of engineers is employed on this phase of research.

Left DesoIate
By FREDERICK C. oTHMAN

Washington, Aug. 3-GUP)-Fare- well. dear congressman, and 8 fond goodbye Only what am I going to do without you?
 Go to work That's what and I don't like it.
 I'll miss the orations of Theodore c. tThe Man1 Bilbo and his plans for a capital stadium with hy- draulic roof I'll lack the corny jokes and the insults magnificent; the cops giving lady witnesses the bum's rush. the speeches of William J Gallagher, the ex-street sweeper from Minneapolis.
 Representative Gallagher sat there hunched in his chair most of the time. but when he made a speech, he usually had something to say. I'll miss the pot shots aimed at the OP.A. by Sen. Kenneth Winery the ebulHent undertaken from Ne braska, not until next Spring will I get to write another item about Rep. c. w. Bishop. who calls him. self the runt, who halls from Illi- nols, and who designs his wife's clothes. Sometimes he also seWs 'em.
 Really Desolate
 No longer will I be soothed by the silver tongued clerk of the House; no more can I listen te Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio expound on the nylon hoisery shortage. I am deSolate.
 The senatorial snuff will be un- der lock and I cannot sample it (Aehoo). The pork chop luncheons in the House restaurant will be no more. Gone. too, will be the elegant arguments among the sena- tors about what's wrong with the food in their beanery.
 I'll not get to watch Sen. Tom Connally, of Tex, who has a way with the ladies, calm the ones who want to do battle with him about the peace. Only once did he fail; the lady wouldn't be reasonable, the GODS hauled her out screaming, and I automatically had my story for the day
 Sen. William Langer, of ND, chewing on his cigar with the cellophane still on it is a sight I'll not see soon again, The House Dis trict Committee doing battle with the city's taxicab drivers is a yer bal carnage that won't be available to me until next year.
 May, Sabath Were Newsy

 On Vet Bonus

Hartford, Aug. 3. CUP)-Charging that he had dodged the issue, State Rep. Thomas J. Supina, (D.-Ash- ford), today asked Attorney Gen. eral William L. Hadden for an- other opinion on the constitution ality of a proposed State bonus to veterans.
 Two days ago Hadden wrote Su- pima that his bonus bill was "slop- oily drawn" and pointed out that it would have committed the State to pay $2,6Oo,0000o0 to 13,- 100000 veterans.
 The legislator replied that "by dodging the issue you are only dan gerously toying with the public mind and charged that Hadden's letter was beneath the dignity of his office.

Fox Trapped On Bucks Hill

A foxy fox wasn't so foxy yester- day and he got fixed, fixed, that is, son-in a woodchucx trap on the Bucks Hill farm of Charles Dellor- fano.
 MT. Dellorfano said the fox, about the size of full grown cocker spaniel was captured yesterday after apparently roaming the prem ises in search of food.
 Foxes are quite rare in that neigh borhood, Mir Dellorfano said, espe- cially in the daytime. He added that although several have been shot in the past by hunters, this is the first one that has been trapped around there for some time.
 The fox will be retained in cage in the Dellorfano barn as a pet.

Bolivian Revolution

This Bolivian revolution runs in the
Latin-American pattern. They have
been so frequent and treacherous there
can be no surprise that another has
come and gone.
But it is shocking, nevertheless, to
learn that the student revolutionaries
should hang the deposed president,
Gualberto Villarroel, twice, apparently
after he was dead, and particularly
after he had resigned his office and
was attempting to leave the country.
The hanging of a dead maniac
counts say Villarroel had been thrown
out a window first-certainly is not
the act of reasonable mortals. To re-
peat the act cannot fail to prove revolt
ing among the less barbarous of his
political enemies.
There may have been legitimate
reasons to complain of his administra-
ton. Usually the person who is popu-
larly known as the "strong man" of
a regime gains the title by diabolical
methods. It was applied to Stain for
ONE years before he became the tool
of the military. Villarroel may we'll have
deserved to be ousted. But it is i'm
possible to condone the manner of his
removal.
Because of the sa%nguinary turn this
revolution has taken it is not difficult
to trace the actions of the revolution
aries to the effects of the war which
so recently ended.

A NIAGARA IN STONE.

"A INAAOfAhA I'm SlUNE
One of the wonders of the world
that tourists never see is a New
Testament site - the ruins of HER
apolis, in central Turkey. This ia
NOUS Roman resort was n of the
Laodicean Churches; and from its
celebrated tepid mineral springs
Sam: John doubtless got his grim
figure of the Church that
was neither hot nor cold.
That same spring, running
ceaselessly through the centuries,
like the will of God, has gradually
encrusted the lower section of the
ruined city; and as the water
plunged over the hill it has Great
ed a glistening cataract of stone,
wider and higher than Niagara,
There is nothing else like it on
earth.
Laodicea itself is a heap Of
ruins; but this pe~tritication OF
Hierapolis is an even more awe
some symbol of the fate of the soul
or city that God rejects and con
dennis.
Make us ever obedient to Thy
will, o Lord, that we may never
know the awful fate of rejection
by THEE. Keep us hot with HOLY
zeal. Amen.

An Important Meeting

The meeting planned for Thursday
night of representatives from the five
beach resorts in New Hanover county
when it is hoped a program will be
drafted for year-around operation OF
them all will afford the best of oppor-
,unities for the leaders to get together
IN a cooperative rather than a COM
p%etitive basis.
Competition, naturally, will have an
important role in the proposed program
but if the master plan is carried out
on sound principles it will be construc-
tive-that is to say, with the idea of
outdoing the other resorts in improve
ments without belittling similar efforts
among the others-and uniting in a
campaign to exploit the advantages Of
all.
Great good can come from this gath
ering if rivalries, as such, are set aside.
Nature has given New Hanover county
as fine a stretch of ocean front as exists
on the entire Atlantic coast. The mild
winter climate, the excellence of spring
and autumn weather, are assets of ire
mendous economic value. There is no
reason why the %county's beaches should
not be as popular with va~cationists in
the so-called o~ff-season periods as in
the summer, if the necessary better
ments in accommodations and recrea-
tional facilities are made available and
their advantages widely publicized.

On The Wrong Track

Russian art generally has come un-
der the disfavor of the Soviet-controll-
ed press because it is allegedly failing
to represent the theology and creative
activities Of the communistic society.
We are not prepared to dispute this
view. Perhaps the ideology and creative
activities Of the communist society are
beyond the power of art to portray.
But we believe that the Soviet press
could find better use for itself by CIV
ing credit, as all the rest of the world
does, to Russia's truly creative artists
in music and literature. Russia has
had it's geniuses in both, but they were
not communists. Maybe that is why the
current Soviet press is not doing it's
duty by them.
The worlds library of creative music
contains no better examples of sheer
genus than is to be found in the works
OF Ts~chaikovsky, Rimski-Korsokov
Moussorgsky and Borodin; nor does all
literature offer better .or more instruc.
tive writing than may be read between
the covers of T~olstoy's writings.
If present-day Russia but knew II
the nation has such wealth in the arts
chat it could do better in holding then
up as detectives for the present genera
ton to equal than in subiectino Il,

Puts Himself On Spot

Yesterdays Wilmington News dis
played q particularly informative illu-
stration. Two of the men in the pic
tture were Representative John W,
Mccormack of Massachusetts and Rep
resentative Adolph SABBATH of Illinois.
Mr.. Mccormack is shown testifying be-
fore the Mead War Investigation Com
mittee, where he appeared voluntarily
to deny the Carson interests had call
ed him several times, according to the
testimony previously offered by Mrs
Jean Bates, a secretary in the Carson
offices. MI. SABBATH is shown at the right
of Mr.. Mccormack, awaiting his turn
to testify, also voluntarily.
Mr.. Mccormack is the House Demo-
cratic leader, a post we'll calculated to
keep the incumbent busy. MIR. SABBATH
is chairman of the vital Rules Com
mittee of the House, another busy post.
Yet both these men could find time to
appear before the Mead Committee
without compulsion.
The third person in the Illustration
is Senator James Mead of New York,
in the act Of signing a subpoena order
ing Representative Andrew ]. May of
Kentucky to appear and tell what he
knows of war contracts awarded the
Garssons and their affiliated concerns.
MI. May is supposed to appear at the
committees hearing today. There is
considerable doubt that he will do so.
He is reputed to have said that his con-
gressional duties as chairman of the
House Military Committee are too heavy
to permit him to take the stand at the
Mead hearings.
Nobody wants to PREJUDICE Mr.. May,
but is it probable that he is buster
than Mr.. Mccormack or Mr.. SABBATH?
Are his duties so much more onerous
than theirs that he cannot spare the
time, as they did, to tell his story?
Even if he should stand on his
privilege and refuse to testify while
Congress is in session, he is but putting
off the day when he must appear. The
present session is nearing an end. AS
soon as the speakers gavel falls for
the last time before the long recess he
may be brought before the inquisition
whether he wants to appear or not. Ger
tainly he is not strengthening his posi-
ton by waiting until then.

sort of pater-familias to some So

ing in ages from IL to Is this sum-
mer, tells me that inasmuch as
j. Edgar Hoover mas given mis- un-
qualified endorsement to the Soap
Box Derby I should come on out
and ungrudgingly add mine.
I cannot get Mr.. humans con
nection between me and Mr.. Hoov-
er. To my recollection 1 have never
committed a crime that would set
the G boys on my tran. But I have
a short memory.
Mr.. Lunan in his pater-familias
capacity, is The Stars representa-
tive on the local Soap Box Derby
committee which on July l will sup
pervise the races between these So
odd New Hanover youngsters in
their homemade, b~oy-propelled
miniature automobile racers.
Herewith, Mr.. Lunan, is my un-
qualified endorsement. Being the
father of two sons 1 feel I am much
better qualified to judge what is
good for our youngsters than Mr..
Hoover. After all. he has spent the
past many years dealing with tough
guys who run away from his-Mr.
Hoover's boys-in real automobiles.
The boys in the Derby will be trying
to run away from each other in
make-out-like automobiles they
built themselves.
When l was about the age of the
present-day Soap Boxers l was al
ways ~tinkeriag with something
that looked like the automobiles OF
that day. A couple of boards, four
wheels from a broken down express
Wagon-they called them then
ana an old orange crate, all tackled
together with a few nails, were
good for a conveyance any day.
AS a matter of fact the whole
Soap Box Derby idea started from
just such a ~contraption like l and
my little chums wheeled around
the small towns, and bigger ones
too OF America. A newspaper
reporter by the name of Myron E.
scott was moseying around the
