Maintenance in a stand by condition of those plants wnicn are noi Deing usea snuuiu, therefore, be authorized." Steelman's report said the syn thetic plants have a capacity of H4U.UUU tons a year, i ne consump tion of all types of rubber, both natural and synthetic, was esti mated last vear at 982.806 tons. Synthetic represents 410,239 of the total tonnage. Stockpile la Must The report emphasized that since the most critical raw ma terial shortage of the last war was In rubber, a substantial stockpile of the natural product must be built up. But, It said, "absolute security" in rubber is as impossible as it is in any oth er field. The government Is operating a rubber program now under a law passed in 1948 and expiring at the end of June. That law barred the govern ment from getting rid of any syn thetic plants, which were built during the war, but asked the president to make recommenda tions by this January for dispos ing of them eventually. Accordingly, Mr. Truman pro posed: 'The president should be auth orized to dispose of the synthetic rubber facilities to private own ers, under conditions which will protect the national security and promote effective competition.' Monopolistic concentra tion should be avoided, Mr. Tru man said, and the government must see that synthetic rubber Is available on fair and reason able terms to those who need it. He noted that it is not practi cal to build up a natural rubber stockpile large enough to meet all emergency needs. Therefore, he said, "we must be equipped lo meet the bulk of our needs from domstlcally produced rub ber." Gen. "Hap" Arnold, U. S. Air Force Pioneer, Dies (Continued from page One) "Happy" later shortened to "Hap." But he knew ho to get tough and was noted for getting things done. Arnold saw the Air Force grow under his guidance from 15,000 planes and 96,000 men In 1938 to more than 70,000 planes and some 2,200,000 men in 1945. Even after his retirement Arn old took every opportunity to sell his firm belief that the United States should have an Air Force second to none. He said it was the best guarantee of peace. "Inevitable destruction forces nations that do not have ade quate air power," he declared. The general was one of the strongest advocates of long-range bombing. During the congres sional battle over the B-36 last August, he told the House Armed Services committee the big plane was "the outstanding bomber In the world." In his book, "Global Missions," five star general warned that far reaching bomber strength is the only thing Russia fears.

"Although the new support prices represent about 79 percent of the parity equivalent price for manufacturing milk, as parity is estimated under the new parity formula, this Is about equal to 90 percent of the old parity price," says J. F. Bonebrake, chairman of the committee. Under the program, which is mandatory under the Agricultural Act of 1949, farm prices will be su ported at national average prices of about $3.07 per hundred weight for manufacturing milk of 3.95 percent butterfat (yearly average test) and around 60 cents per pound for butterfat, the chairman explains. The effect of the program will be to support the price of all milk. To Implement the program, the department will offer to make carlot purchases of processed dairy products at the following prices, i.o.o. at any location in the united States: Product Purchase Price Cheddar cheese, U. j. .grade A or higher 31 cents Der lb.

Evaporated milk 3.95 dol. per case Mr. Bonebrake points out that the new program has been an nounced for a 15-month period ending March 31, 1951,- so as to extend through the next full dairy products marketing year.
