STANTON New reports from Washington indieiite that aome o our officials are rleeply concerned with this country's short supply of rubber and industrial alcohol. Faring a possible third world war, it is alleged that our stock pile of natural rubber is less than before Pearl Harbor; that alcohol plants .have been sold as surplus war equip ment. Senate investifjators recently charged extreme laxity and neglect in the rubber and alcohol prepared ness program. Neglect of the nation's alcohol producing capacity is particularly evident here in the Pacific Northwest, where defense facilities should have been provided early in the last war. During a war we need huge quantities of industrial alcohol for manufacture of explosives, plastics, synthetic rubber and any number of additional supplies. At the same time we need increased food production. Yet we convert high priced grain, needed for food, into alcohol, shorting ourselves, our poultry and our livestock, en-1 couraging black markets, rationing, etc., while we burn countless tons of wood waste which could be used to produce a substantial part of our industrial' alcohol needs. An alert and efficient defense plan long ago would have provided standby facilities for alcohol production from, wood waste, even though the facilities might re main idle except in wartime. Rut, instead of experi menting with alcohol-from-wood waste during peacetime, the government sold off its only plant designed for that purpose, and has done nothing to put this potential source of alcohol supply into readiness for war. Alcohol Now Being Imported During 1949, the United States used approximately 190 million gallons of industrial alcohol. On a wartime basis we will need around 300 million gallons per year. The alcohol production capacity in this country Is 175 million gallons. An order has been placed for im portation of 100 million gallons from France. Defense officials recently met with distillers in Washington to arrange for diversion of a part of their production ca pacity to defense uses.

A ( hinamn. was supposed to be sizing up Cnina'a Editorial Commenf From The Oregon Protf HUNTERS, ANGLERS KICK The Oregon Statesman The last legislature followed closely the report of an interim committee appointed to study the fish and g.ime situation. New laws were passed; and in response to ihc idea of a fresh deal Governor Mc Kay appointed an entirely ne game commission. But if sporis- men thought that new laws and new officials would make more trout leap the fly or mote deer ti v to stop bullets they are already disillusioned. Seldom has a louder complaint been raised Itun this year. Disappointed deer hunters raised such a protest over an extension ot the season with privilege to tag holders to kill a buck or a doe that the commission issued a reprieve fcr the doe. Now frqin the coast come reports of a slaughter of e;k in the open season for elk-hunting It seems that armies of hunters converged on Clatsop county and banged away. The Astorian-Budget says that Clatsop elk herds num bered from 2..00 to 3.:00 and the slaughter so far amounts to Mm 80 to 1.000 elk. The season is due to run through December, which prompts the A B to urge the com mission of the governor to call a halt on the elk shooting les(, the herds be further decimated. The other night Jim Bond inter rupted his showing of lukon pic and elk, and urged stronger Haw en forcement. He was strong in his' condemnation of alleged -sportsmen who violate game laws, kill doe deer, leave meat to spoit. etc. The real problem is that we want to keep wilderness conditions in a state which is developing fast with greater population, more hiyliwys into remote arras, greuter demand for range for livestock.
