Policy on
College Men
To Be Stated
Washington, July 20 W
Man power chairman Paul V,
McNutt said today the govern
ment would announce soon a
definite policy on college men
In the draft and coordination of
America's 1,800 colleges and
universities with the war effort
George F, Zook, president of
,the American Council of Edu
cation, had charged the govern
ment with failure to use the in
stitutions. Zook wrote McNutt,
the secretaries of war and navy
and draft headquarters that this
"failure" had confused students
and educators.

received the letter which had
also been sent to the press. Hp
declined comment on it, except
to say that Zook certainly knew
that the man power commission
and the office of education had
been working with the army
navy and selcctivo service for
weeks, drafting details of a pro
gram for college students and
for maximum use of college and
university facilities.
The man power chief, said
that Dr. Edward C. Elliott, pres
ident of Purdue university, was
brought into the man power
commission a month ago "for
just this purpose."
Zook's letter carried a state
ment by 75 college presidents
who met recently in Baltimore
deploring "the continuing lack
of any adequate, coordinated
plan for the most effective utili
zation of higher education to
ward the winning of the war."
McNutt gave no details of his
program but it was understood
it probably would stop the con
flict in recruiting by various
branches of the army and navy.

Leahy Will
Be Coordinator
Washington, July 20 (U.B
President Roosevelt is expected
to name Admiral William, D.
Leahy soon to be coordinator of
military activities directly under
the commander-in-chief.
Leahy, recently returned from
France where he has been the
American ambassador, may be
recalled to active duty in the
navy to provide him with suffi
cient rank to carry on his duties.
He is understood to have already
submitted his resignation as am
bassador. Both the army and the navy
were said to be in agreement on
the need of a coordinating head,
responsible only to the presi
dent, for global military opera
tions. Leahy, an intimate friend
and long-time military advisor
to Mr. Roosevelt, is represented
as being satisfactory to both ser
vices. Since his retirement as chief
of naval operations in 1939,
Leahy has acted as presidential
"trouble-shooter" both as gov
ernor of Puerto Rico in 1940 and
as ambassador to Vichy.
Home Hospita lities
Group Organized
Destined to become one of the most important groups In Sa
lem's USO program is the home hospitalities group, which is
headed by Mrs. W. L. Phillips with Mrs. Breyman Boise and
Mrs. Clifton Mudd as the other
members of her committee.
This group will be composed
of Salem's townspeople, who re
gister at the Hostess headquart
ers at 212 North High street for
the private entertainment of the
soldiers stationed in and near
Salem .
Cards being prepared for the
registrations of this group will
contain the following informa
tion concerning the registrant:
name, telephone number and
address of the registrant; num
ber of persons in the family,
whether the children are boys
or girls, and their approximate
ages; the church membership or
preference, the home state of
persons not born in Oregon; the
occupations of the members of
the family; and the types of en
tertalnment that the family pre
fers.
Permanent List Kept
A permanent list of the home
hospitalities' group wll be kept
at the office and the information
on the card will be taken into
consideration when sending a
soldier to the home as a guest.
By using this information it Is
hoped that the soldier may be a
guest in a home having a back
ground and recreational inter
ests similar to his own, thus be
ing made to feel that he is be
coming part of the community.
When registering for the
entertaining of the service men
the registrant will be asked
what times are most suitable to
him for entertaining the men
in uniform and from time to
time he will be contacted by

Cargo Planes
Advocated by
Rear Admiral
Portland, Ore., July 20 (P)
Rear Admiral Howard L. Vick
ery, vice-chairman of the marl
time commission, studied a pro
posal today to win the battle of
the Atlantic with giant cargo
carrying airplanes built in ship
yards. Vickery, who warned in an in
terview yesterday that submar
ines are sinking ships faster than
the United Nations can build
them, received the proposal
from Henry J. Kaiser, west coast
shipbuilder, at the launching of
another Liberty freighter at one
of Kaiser's yards.
Kaiser foresaw a fleet of plan
es capable of carrying 500,000
men to England in one day, and
delivering 70,000 tons of food
and munitions to the British
Isles the next.
Submarines could not shoot
down such a fleet, and with even
slighter fighter protection, en
emy airplanes could not hinder
the air freighters, Kaiser said.
He added that there is not en
ough steel available now to keep
all shipyards operating at ca
pactiy and proposed that the
maritime commission turn nine
yards three on the Atlantic
three on the Pacific, and three
on the Gulf coast to production
of the planes.

committee and asked to enter

day and Sunday will be the days
most acceptable for the enter
tainment of service men in the

this program may ask for serv

Process for
Rubber Making
Is Developed
Washington, July 20 (U.B The
agriculture department today
announced its research labora
tory in Peoria, 111., has develop
ed a short, economical process
for making butylene glycol an
important factor In the produc
tion of synthetic rubber from
farm products.
Chemists at the laboratory
have succeeded in producing in
the laboratory excellent yields
of pure butadiene from which
synthetic rubber is made from
corn-made butylene glycol, the
department said in an announce
ment issued through the office
of war information. Until the
process is developed to a "pilot
plant," or semi-commercial,
scale, the department chemists
are making no predictions.
Butylene glycol itself is a rel
atively rare 'chemical with sev
eral important war uses. It also
is used in the manufacture of
anti-freeze and commercial solv
ents.
The department's new process
for its production involves the
fermentation of plentiful farm
crops, such as corn and wheat.
It already is being produced on
a semi-commercial scale.
Three steps would be involved
in the production of rubber from
farm crops by this method raw
agricultural material to butyl
ene glycol, butylene glycol to
butadiene, and butadiene to
rubber. The last step is already
known and the major problem
remaining is conversion of buty
lene glycol to butadiene on a
commercial scale.
One of the laboratory officials
said the process means that "we
have succeeded in making a
cheap rubber-like substance
from soy bean and corn oil that
may fill some of the uses of
rubber." .

Symphony of
Victory Heard
In Theatres
New York, July 20 UP) From
a small tin can that arrived in
the United States from Russia
not long ago came yesterday the
symphonic story of the Soviet
Union at war a story of bombs
and shells and blood and death
but with ultimate victory its
theme.
It was the western hemisphere
premier of Dmitri Shostako
vich's New Seventh Symphony,
and Arturo Toscanini's baton led
110 members of the NBC Sym
phony orchestra to bring to th
American radio audience the
voice of its ally across the sea.
For 73 minutes, the moving
and majestic score set down by
the Russian composer even as
he labored as a fire-fighter in
besieged Leningrad was broad
cast in this country and by short
wave to the world.
The work portrayed a peace
ful people beset by war, their
massing to resist and, in its final
movements, signified victory
with a rushing, martial theme.
The applause of a distinguish
ed studio audience was evidence
that Shostakovich, who said in
a special radiogram that "my
music is my weapon" had done
his work well.
Their acclaim, too, was for
Toscanini's direction of the or
chestra that played from photo
graphic copies made from a mic
rofilm of the original score
brought here by airplane and
motor car from Kuibyshev, Rus
sia, in a tiny can.
In his message to the western
hemisphere audience, the com
poser said his symphony was
being played "on a day when
freedom loving nations are wag
ing battle against the common
enemy Hitlerism."

more than 200 acres.
Substitute materials are being
used instead of wood and metal
in manufacturing toys in Bri
tain. A new symphony concert hall
in Moscow has been named after
Tschaikovsky, the composer.
