Chemical Firms Drive
For Cheaper Synthetics

companies producing polyethy-
lene Immediately after World
War II. Today II do.
2. Ten years ago the American
farmer had five major sup
pliers of anhy drous ammonia.
Today 80 companies compete in
meeting his fertilizer needs.
Similar examples can be found
in paints, synthetic fibers and
plastics.
One chemical discovery that
caught on fast and opened a
wide market for itself while
competing fiercely with other
synthetics and with natural
materials is the relatively new
conner iSocyonate. This man
made molecule uses natural gas
or salt as a starting point and
then combines with other in
gradients to produce urethane.
From this can be fashioned
rocket fuels, featherweight
foam mattresses, insulated ski
and sailing clothes, or wear
resistant applications for roller
skating Kinks.
Three-way Battle
One side line to the keen
competition to develop and ex-
pilot urethane is a three-way
battle now Joined between
urethane, latex rubber and the
long established metal spring
for the mattress and furniture
cushioning market.
The chemical industry sports
many other intramural con-
tests.
AS if domestic struggles
weren't enough, the American
chemical industry also faces
increasing competition from
abroad, where manufacturers
now have modern, well
equipped plants manned at
lower labor costs.
But with new cost cutting
and marketing programs-plus
some luck from the research
laboratories future findings
the chemical industry hopes to
take off by the end of next
year on a new growth cycle. It
aims at matching the record
of the last 25 years when its
average growth rate was 7 per
cent a year-well above that
for manufacturing as a whole.

Auto Output Off

DETROIT. Nov. Is (AP).-
Automotive News has estimated
auto production for this week

assembly curtailed because of
Thanksgiving.
Last week the industry built
1896 units while in the
similar week of last year the
total was only 1886.
Truck production was esti-
mated at 1891 units this week
compared with 22.246 last week

NEW YORK, Nov. Is (AP).-
Price cutting and sales compe-
tition have bitten into the prof
its of the chemical companies.
But this seems only to have
sharpened their drive to out
pace one another in turning
cheap and plentiful raw ma
terials into profitable synthetics
new or cheaper ones.
And the prospective harvest
to be reaped from new man
made materials continues to
lure members of other indus
tries into the field.
The battles start in the
laboratory-and more than $400
million a year is being poured
into research. Then they spill
into the marketplace. And some
who watch the industry closely
feel the current profit squeeze
may be just the catalyst to turn
today's increasing competition
into showdowns-with a number
of casualties a good probability.
Prifits Defining
Inroads of price cutting and
slower business into chemical
profit margins show in first
reports of July August-Septem-
Der earnings. They average 10
per cent lower than in the sum-
mer Of 1859 and 20 per cent
down from the April-May June
quarter of 1860. The industry's
reports for the first nine months
of this year trail the year ago
figures by 7 per cent, although
a number of other industries
topped their 1899 SnoWlngS.
Entry of other industries into
the chemical business has gain
ed momentum in recent years,
undeterred by the average cap
ital investment of $4,000 for
e"ch chemical worker, which
lis larger than in many other
lines of endeavor.
The parade has included
meat packers, whiskey distill-
ers, soap makers, Photographic
equipment producers, oil COM
panies, metal professors.

State Pushes
Nursing
Homes Plan

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. "a (AP)
The State Board of Health
has approved the drafting of
legislation to authorize State
expenditures for construction
of non-proflt, public nursing
homes.
The proposal would provide
nursing homes for middle and
low income families not quail
fed for welfare payments but
who are unable to afford pri-
vate nursing home care.
DR.. V. L. Ellicott, chief Of
the Health Departments Med
ical Bureau, said yesterday
public nursing homes would
alleviate a Statewide short
age of facilities for non-welfare
patients.
Previous efforts to obtain
legislative approval for a 81
million, five-year bond issue to
aid non-prof1t nursing homes
failed.
In other action yesterday,
the board, meeting here ap-
proved a 42-month study de-
signed to provide for transfer
of chronically ill patients from
the City Hospitals at Baltimore
to either nursing or foster care
homes.
The study, which will cost
$157,000, is aimed at freeing
hospital beds now occupied by
patients suffering long-term
illnesses.

Cuban Airmen

MUNICH, Germany, Sept. "a
(NANA).-A group Of 35 Cuban
Air Force pilots and technicians'
has arrived in Czechoslovakia
and is receiving flight and
ground instruction on the
Might.
Western authorities report
that Fidel Castro's Cubans are
being trained in Prague to fly
jets Mr.. Castro already has
purchased from the Czechs.
The sources believe that MIR.
Castro has purchased as many
as Is MIG-17 jet fighters for
delivery over the next half
year. These are Soviet fighters
built in Czechoslovakia under
license and being discarded by
the Czecholsovakian Air Force
to make way for the supersonic
MIG-19.
The first shipment of five
MIG-17s already is reported to
have been loaded on one Rus
sian and two Polish freighters
at the Polish port of Stettin.
Some authorities believe that
Mr., Castro, once he gets de-
livery of a substantial number
of MIG-l7s and has the pilots
to fly them, may deliberately
seek to provoke incidents with
the United States.
With Is Might Jets, and
the pilots to fly them, Mr.. Cas-
tro would possess Latin Ameri-
cas- showiest and probably most
up-to-date air force.
The Cuban personnel now in

be the vanguard of a group
eventually to number several
hundred trainees, the majority
