6-Month Need Is Seen
For Synthetic Rubber
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

Government experts predict
enough demand for synthetic rub
ber to keep this country's plants op-
Grating at capacity for the next six
months despite growing supplies Of
natural rubber.
They differ somewhat on the
prospects after that. Some express
strong belief that synthetic output
could be maintained at present
levels throughout 1947, others think
a tide of natural rubber would wash
out demand for the synthetic.
The Government invested $780,
000, 900 In 81 producing plants, OF
which all but about half q dozen
are still operating.
These have been the rubber
mainstay of the Nation since war
cut off supplies Of natural rubber
but they have never yet had to meet
the competition of natural rubber,
which most experts predict viii be
cheaper.
The rapid increase In Far East
ern supplies Of natural rubber, &C
companied by lowering Of price
from 231s to 20A cents q pound,
fob. Far Eastern ports, brought .
six-nation decision last week to end
all international rubber ALLEGATION
at the end of this year.
1t also moved one ofncial to COM
ment that where it had looked rs
il the Government would have an
1s-month breathing spell" to de-
eide what to do with Its plants, 1t
may have to speed decision by six
to IL months.
The Government has never ex-
pected to continue operating 4
monopoly in synthetic rubber pro-
duction, but there are questions OF
finding buyers. which plants 1t can
sell or lease and to whom.

u. 5, 10 Reserve Righl
To Regain Arms Sent
Reds in Lease-Lend
BY III. Assoeiated Press

E The United States will reserve
The right to recapture all weap-
.pns and munitions supplied Rus
ssia under lease-lend before writ
ang the wartime account CLOSED, !"
Government officials said today.
These officials noted that such re-
Capture provisions have been writ
rten into the lease-lend settlements
concluded with seven other coun-
Etries. And they add that they see
mo reason why American policy on
sthis matter would be changed for
sthe Soviet.
It Is not clear when negotiations
to settle the Russian account will
b. get under way. A note to Moscow
Isome weeks ago suggesting that a
mission be sent here for the purpose
4 sreportedly has gone unanswered.
Clause Was Precaution.
= Officials say that in general this
: country does not expect to exercise
. its right in any country to regain
possession of items like guns, planes
and tanks, but that the recapture
! clause was inserted as q precau-
tionary measure.
The great bulk of the $11 1,000,-
000, 900 in lease-lend goods furnished
the Russians falls into the strictly
swar goods category.
The American officials who will
sit In on the settlement discussions
with the Russians said they do not
think the United States will seek
payment for any war materiel de-
stroyed or otherwise used up In
the war against the Germans and
Japanese.
The Russians will be asked. how
ever, to pay at least part of the cost
of civilian-type articles which the
Soviet can use in peacetime.
A decision apparently remains to
be made on whether to charge for
weapons still in use by the Soviet
Army.
Final Figure Uncertain.
Ohicials refused to estimate the
amount of the final Soviet obrga-
ton. They pointed out, however,
that Britain was billed for $780,
100000 and France for $420y y000, 900
when they settled their lease-lend
accounts. But part Of these sums
went to pay for surplus property
those countries wanted to buy out
right.
Britain was allowed so years to
pay, France IS. years anG Russia
presumably also would be granted
a long-term credit.
Britain received more than $780,
600 200, 900 in American lease-lend,
compared with Russia's $11,000,-
100000 share and Frances $2,377,-
100000.
Under reverse lease-lend Britain
was credited with about $4,500, ,000,-
900, France with $761 ,000, 900 and
Russia $2,213,000.
Countries that have settled their
accounts with the United States in
addition to England and France
are Australia, New Zealand, India,
Turkey and Belgium. Similar con-
versations are under way with

didn't. drink too much. The
court, however, concluded that
he had overstepped the bounds
of solicitude when he put his
brother in bandages to prevent
his drinking.
Judge c. Winfield Smith sus-
pended a 12-month's road SEN
tence over Leakin' Hearts
head and left it there. It will
continue hanging for the next
two years providing Waddel
stays away from Wilmington
during that time.
There was a slightly hilarious
parenthesis in the trial when
Waddel was asked to explain
his curious alias. From the wit
ness stand, he told, with violent
gestures, how he had struck
another boy in the chest with
a rock when he was small.
Clutching his shirt, he illus
trated the boys expression as
he cried, "Oh my gawsh, you
done give me a leakin' heart"
Witnesses Of the assault took up
the phrase and Waddel has
been Leakin' Heart ever since.

Reviews Efforts
A review Of the continuing e.
fort on the part of Exchangites dur
ing the past dozen years to OBJ
tain a suitable auditorium to serve
the best interests of the city was
outlined by James L. Allegood,
chairman Of the clubs project CON-
mittee. Briefly he described the
initial effort Of the clubs mem.
bership before the City Council
in the thirties, advocating bono
issue for construction and how the
proposal was rebuffed by some
city officials and other influential
citizens.
1--WE have persisted and as the
city has expanded our project has
been made a top project for the new
postwar Wilmington, he said.
Suggests Site
LEO Sykes stated, 1--WE as a
club should maintain close contact
with city officials in working to
complete this structure. The site
directly in front of the High school
offers many advantages, he said,
"and would fit excellently into a
cultural or sports center"

Gated that the citizens stick to the
subject Of building an auditorium
and not be diverted by issues of
location, plans, etc.
Parking Facilities
Ranald Stewart stated that an
auditorium as contemplated in the
plans being drafted seating $500
in the main auditorium with a
single stage serving also for a
music hall seating LOO would re-
ouire parking area for, over 1900
cars if it were filled. Where can
we park that many cars?" he
asked. He urged members to
think for the general long term
advantages desired.
JB. Edwards, Harry Dosher and
Albert Brown stressed the impor-
lance of a structure big enough
and arranged to handle athletic,
as well as other events.
The Augusta, Georgia, auditorium
which is being used as model by
the city officials is the one visited

year and recommended.
The local plans with some minor
changes are now being prepared
by Lynch and Foard and will be
made available for observation to

said by project chairman Allegood.
These plans provide for approx
