200 Rubber Firms Ask.
Congress 10 Continue
Control Of Synthetic
By The Assoeiaisd Press

A. L. Viles, president of the Rub
ber Manufacturers Association,
urged Congress to keep control Of
the GOVERNMENTS synthetic rubber
plants for at least another year and
hold production at present levels.
Mr.. Viles, who said he spoke for
200 manufacturers, made the rec
ommendation as the first witness
before q House armed services sub
committee headed by Representative
Shafer, Republican, of Michigan.
In statement Mr.. Viles said:
"A continued rubber control pro-
gram is essential to national secur-
ity. This is the only reason for con-
tinued Government interference in
the normal activities of the indus
try"
Legislation Considered.
The subcommittee, which made 4
two weeks trip last month to in
spect rubber plants, Is considering
long-range legislation dealing with
disposition of the war-built $710,-
O00, 1000 (million) synthetic industry.
1t expects to report by the end Of
this month.
In opening the hearing Mr.. Shafer
predicted that scientists eventually
will improve synthetic rubber so it
will be superior in every way to
natural rubber. Until that time
comes, however, he said certain
rules laid down by Government will
have to be followed to support the
industry"
Mr.. Shafer said the rights of pri-
vate rubber manufacturers and
professors to the results of their
own research Should be analyzed
thoroughly. and, If possible, restored
promptly" He said he referred to
the rubber patent pooling agree
ment which has been in force since
194l.
Recommendations Made.
Mr.. Viles of New York made these
specific recommendations:
l. Continued use of synthetic rub
Der at substantially the existing
levels" about 1880 tons a year, I'm
order to acquire q natural rubber
stockpile in the shortest practicable
time.
2. Stockpiling Of some synthetic
rubber to "give the additional meas
ure of protection that might prove
necessary
3. Maintenance Of synthetic
rubber production capacity OF 5000
tons q year.
4. Giving the National Security
Resources Board, instead of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp, au-
thority to make final decisions on
disposing OF aforementioned
rubber plants to private operators.
There are three possible solutions
before the Shafer committee now:
l. Sell private industry what
plants 1t will take, and get the Gov
ernment entirely out Of the syn
thetic rubber business.
2. Keep all the plants and stay
in the business.
8. Lease or sell most of the plants
to private operators, and require
minimum of production for national
security purposes. This also would
mean continuing present arrange
nents which require manufacturers
to use a minimum amount OF syn
thetic rubber.

Wisconsin Woman
Beheaded by Order Of
Hitler, Magazine Says
By the Associated Press

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 1.-The
story OF Wisconsin woman who
was beheaded on February is, 1943,
as a personal reprisal by Adolph
Hitler, is published in the current
issue of the Wisconsin Alumni
Magazine.
The magazine, which will appear
this week, said it obtained from
records of the United States Once
of Military Government the full
story of the death by guillotine
at Brandenburg, Germany, OF Mil
dred Fish Harnack. She was
1925 graduate of the university.
Mildred Fish, former Milwaukee
and Madison resident, met Arvid
Harnack, a German student attend
ing the university on a Rockefeller
scholarship in 1925 while she was
teaching English at Wisconsin. the
magazine stated. They were mar
ried and left for Germany in 1890.
When Hitler came into power
Mr.. Harnack joined the German
underground. In September, 1912
he was arrested by Nazi secret
police. He was hanged on Christ
mas Eve, 1912. Mrs. Harnack, who
had aided her husband in under
ground work, was sentenced to six
months at hard labor.
Several weeks after Mrs. Har-
nack's trial, Hitler, going through
the court records, came across her
dossier and Immediately ordered
her trial reopened as she was the
only American then in his power,
the magazine said.
Manfred Roeder, the Nazi chief
Judge who had decreed the original
sentence, at Hitler's command
changed it to the death penalty
and Mrs. Harnack was guillotined
Her ashes now are at the home

Bridges asking the Appropriations
Committee to look into reports that
only about 800, ,0O0, 900 of the $332,-
00o, 900 made available in May has
been spent thus far in aiding Italy,
Austria, Greece and Trieste.
Two OF those countries, Italy and
Austria, would share in the relief
to be provided under the stopgap
measure which leaders hoped the
Senate would approve by nightfall.
Senator johnson told q reporter
he wants assurances that it will not
be too severe q strain on American
supplies to pile almost $500, ,OO0, 900
in purchases of food, fuel and cloth
ing on top of buying already being
done for the earlier relief program.
President Truman's report to Con-
gress a week ago on the spring relief
fund showed that $72 ,0O0, 900 in sup
plies actually had been shipped on
September 30, with an additional
$3.50, 0,00O, 600 in the process OF being
purchased.
The report showed $4,000, 900
actually shipped to Austria, with
s51 ,O00, 900 being brought. Italy had
received s26, 1000 900 with purchases
under way for another $4,000.
France, scheduled to receive up to
1928 ,O0O, 900 in supplies under the
pending stop-gap bill, did not share
in the earlier relief fund. Austria's S
quota in the new measure Is $42, ,0O0,-
900 and Italy's 1927 900 900.
These represent the maximum
amounts of winter relief the three
countries could expect to obtain
under the authorization bill. Con-
gress will fix the actual expenditures
later when the appropriations COM
mittees have completed canvassing
needs and balancing them with
American resources.
Ives Urges Quick Action.
Meanwhile, congressional discus
sion OF the long-range so-called
Marshall plan was enlivened by an
assertion by Senator Ives, Repub-
hcan, of New York that this country
may find itself 'enslaved under
Moscow" IL it fails to take the lead
in the economic rebuilding of Eu-
rope.
Senator Ives, who is supporting
Gov. Dewey of New York for the
Republican presidential nomination,
said in a radio interview yesterday
it would be disastrous" If stopgap
relief is not forthcoming 50 that
Western Europe can survive the
winter and prepare to help rebuild
itself.
In another phase of the multi
billion Marshall plan discussions,
Senator Vandenberg of the For
eign Relations Committee made
it clear he favors operation of the
long range recovery program by an
Independent agency, linked to the
State Department only at the policy
level.
The question OF how the recovery
program is to be administered is
said to be plaguing administration
leaders in their efforts to agree
on the details Of the program
President Truman Is expected to
recommend to Congress soon.
