Penalties under the Selective Service Act, pointed out Colonel Mason, are very severe— carrying a maximum of five years im pris onment or a fine of $10,000.00, or both the imprisonment and fine. “ Registrants who have filed their questionnaires,” concluded Colonel Mason, “ must not only advise their Local board of their current address but also of any change in m arital or employment status that occurs subsequently. P rior to filin g the questionnaire the major requirement is in keep ing the board advised of any change in address.” e synthetic rubber. There was only one big defect in our synthetic rubber program during W orld War I I —alcohol, the essential ingredi ent of hyuthetic, was made from food products including grain, sugar cane and potatoes. Food products also tend to become scarce when we are at war. The real answer, and the one fin a lly arrived at by the War Pro duction Board, is to produce the needed alcohol from wood waste— sawdust from our western mills. But w ith the same care-free aban don that characterized many of their other acts during that pe riod, the boyish optimists heading our Federal government dumped the Springfield plant into “ surplus” as soon as the war was over. Some of us here in Washington did some hard battling to preveht the out right junking of the $3,000,000 plant. Fortunately, it was not 'unked but was leased to people who are operating at least a part of it. The blow to our rubber supply will not fa ll for a while. It might not fa ll at all. We have time to get ready fo r it. The government should proceed at once to get the wood-sugar" alcohol process per fected and operating in the one plant. Then plans fo r quick con struction of other plants, based upon the experience at Spring- field, shoiild be made ready for quick action. I have already started to haunt the offices of the defense procure ment people and the resources board urging such a program. e Not long ago Senator Chavez, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Works, told a press asso ciation reporter that as soon as the Senate had acted upon the appro priations b ill he would schedule hearings in the West on CVA. Up on making form al in q u iry a few days later, I learned that the com mittee had not taken any action on the subject and I was subse quently told that there would be no CVA hearings in Oregon and Washington this year. columnists and commentators, this document never did receive the public consideration it deserves.
