When it comes to discussing

hope our negotiators ask when
Stain changed his mind. On
November 6, 1912, Stain said:

1t is argued. too, that tele-
vising congressional hearings
contributes little or nothing to
the business of legislating; that
the committee members become
more concerned with the show
than with the facts they've set
out to find. This criticism
hardly applies to the Kefauver
committee. The members have
behaved with dignity and re-
straint and with conspicuous
fairness to the witnesses-un-
less the very act of televising

being calculated to freeze him
with mike fright.
If there has been an excep-
ton it has been furnished by
Senator Tobey, the popular hero
OF the proceedings. However, it
is recognized that his jeremiads
against sin come from a hot
and honest heart. He believes
the televised hearings are awak-
ening the public conscience and
arousing holy horror of sin.
He could be right, unless there
is something in what Alexander

III. ). Cutback Order
On Tires Surprises
Rubber Producers
By Froncis P. Douglas

Rubber manufacturers were
taken completely by surprise to-
day by the Government order
cutting deliveries of tires and
tubes for new passenger cars by
Is per cent.
The order is effective April /.
The National Production Author
Iity, in announcing the restriction,
indicated it was made necessary
by greater use of rubber in the
defense program and a loss of
about 1000 long tons in the pro-
Iduction of synthetic rubber ex-
Ipected in April.
The expected cut in synthetic
rubber production was laid to
fires and other operational bugs
lat synthetic plants.
Cutback Order Discussed.
NPA said manufacturer will be
permitted to deliver only rs per
cent OF the number of tires and
tubes for new cars during the sec
Iond quarter of the year as they
delivered in the first quarter.
This came after NPA had
ANNOUNCED consumption figures
which presumably stabilized pro-
duction. Yesterday, however, an
industry advisory committee was
called in to discuss a proposed
order which would increase the
cutback in rubber use for civilian
products from only S per cent
to 20 per cent. The industry was
strenuously opposed to this.
The order reducing the number
of tires and tubes for, use as orig
inal equipment was issued later.
1t goes deeper than the reduction
already ordered in the use of
steel for passenger car produc-
ton during the second quarter.
This cut amounts to 20 per cent.
Mliltary Use Increases.
NPA said that military use of
rubber, which has been averaging
$500 tons month during the
first quarter of the year, is ex-
pected to increase to $4,000 tons
next month. 1t said also that
the amount available for civilian
production in April will be about
$500 tons less than the monthly
average during the first quarter.
In addition. NPA said 5000 tons

The agency put at $4,000 tons
the amount of rubber available
for both military and civilian pro-
duction in April, comparing with
an average of $4,000 tons during
the first quarter. The figures are
all in long tons.

dens, which are equivalent to the

Members of the tour, all A of
them, Crohen said, were photo
graphed constantly and made front

photographer took a total of IT'S
pictures of the group.
Edwards came back with the en-

business is the third largest in
dustry in the country. Canada
goes after it with great hospital
ity."
He said, eve received a lot of
ideas on the trip and made many
new friends but the most impress
sive thing of all was the Canad-
ian hospitality, which pays off for
them.
'That is important to know in
Port Clinton, for where in the
world do they have more visitors
per capita than right here in our
city," he said.
