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.

Milk, Butterfat
Support Prices
About The Same
The farm support prices in dol
lars and cents under the new pro
gram for manufacturing milk
and butterfat are approximately
the same as the average support
levels during 1949, the Douglas
county Production and Market
ing administration committee
points out tnis week.
"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.
Butter, U. S.
g r ; d e A or
higher 60 cents nerlh.
Nonfat dry milk

tra 1214 cents ner lh.
Nonfat dry milk
sonns, roller
type, U. S. ex
tra 10'4 cents ner lh.
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.
