Last July NPA revoked a re-
s~triction banning %sparetires on new
automobiles as rubber supplies i'm
proved and the agency's latest act
ion was the biggest relaxation Of
the controls since the start of the
national emergency.
Up to now, all manufacturers
have been under orders not to use
more than the amount of rubber
they consumed during the II
months ending June 80, 1850 on
a monthly average.
No more than 90 per cent Of a
firms supply could be used for
auto tires and other products con
sidered less essential by the gov
eminent.
These restrictions would now be
removed under NPA's proposed or
der and private industry would be
allowed to buy natural rubber
! later on the foreign market for
the first time since GSA took over
rubber buying operations for the
nation.
| Production officials said the
rubber action "is in line with the
agency's stated policy to remove
controls over any regulated mat

adequate"

industry.
1t said manufacturers must not

natural rubber imported by the
General Services Administration
during the first three months OF
1852 or controls will be reimposed.

So things went in some parts of
the country following the Civil War.
An article published in 1888 stat
ed that L. r. Voris, chemist, North
Jonathan Street, was congratulating
himself over being alive. When he
opened his laboratory one Saturday
morning he discovered that some
time during the night bullet from
80 calibre revolver had crashed
through front window of his office
and passed directly over the chair
at his desk, narrowly missing large
bottle of concentrated acid, struck
cupboard and fell to the floor.
Police said that the bullet followed
a level course across the street to
the laboratory, located on the sec
ond floor of the Thomas Building on
North Jonathan Street. Mr.. Voris
demonstrated to the authorities that
had he been sitting at his desk at
the time, the bullet would have
struck him in the head. He also
pointed out that had the bullet shat
tered the bottle of acid considerable
damage would have resulted. It
was not ascertained from whence
the bullet came, whether it was a
deliberate attempt on the life of Mr..
Voris, or the careless handling of
firearms.

end of the year his teacher recorded
that he "excelled in senior Latin
