Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT MEDFORD ilAIL TRIBUTE. MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY. APRIL 12. 1937. TO OFFSET NEED OF OILWORTS End Of 1937 Is Set As Dead line For Overcoming De pendence Manufacture Of Synthetic Fuel Gains. BERLIN (UP) The aim of OCT many'a synthetic fuel production la to maJte the automotive lnduitry In- dependent of foreign Import! within a year. Thli la the way Fuehrer Hit ler hlmaelf defined It In a apeech recently. Germany ha been producing syn thetic gaaollne commercially alnce 1828. but It la only In the laat three ynare that conalderable expansion haa taken place, in Jau nroductlon aatlafled only sl percent of tne gaaollne demand, whereas In 1936, 45 per cent, or approaimawii 920.000 tone came from German fac tories. The percentage mere used dur ing 1933, but no ofllclal figures were available. ' The beat known method of mak ing eynthetic gaaollne la the process Invented by Professor Berglua and made at the Leuna worka of the IQ-Farben company, the German chemical trust. This procresa In volves the generation of gaaollne through the hydrogenatlon of lig nite. Hard Coal Also I'Md Another method, called the Plach-er-Tropsch process, usee hydrogena tlon to make gasoline from hard coal. Planta eaploltlng thla process were constructed at the hard-coal mines In the Ruhr district. A third process, based on dry dis tillation rather than hydrogenatlon, la still In Its Infancy and therefore has not yet played a large role In German production. Krupp manufac tures thla. The new "Dr. Pott's Syn thesis," asserted ly a oheaper process than the other three, has not been put on the market although It la ex pected to be released In a compara tively short time. This method uses hydrogenatlon at low pressure In stead of at high aa In the Derglua procesa. The exact cost of producing syn thetic gasoline Is comparatively high and haa never been revealed. Unof ficial figures put the production cost of Leuna fuel at between 3 and a pfennigs per liter. The "Dr. Pott'a Synthesis," It la aald. coat only 16 pfennigs a liter to produce. As against this, Imported natural gasoline can be transported to Hamburg ready for sale at from 6 to 6 pfennigs a liter. Tank Price Fixed The fixed tank Drlce for all gaso line In Germany Is now 30.96 plen' nigs (approximately 16 cents). This price, reckoned on Imported gns, Is made up as follows: 6.11 price at Hamburg, 30.06 duty, 0.53 turnover tax, 3.06 alcohol mixed with gas, 8.U3 producer's profit, 7.30 transportation, etc. During the post year existing plants have boen enlarged and new ones built. But with the continued In crease of motorization In general and that of the army and air force In particular, Ctormsny's fuel require ments keep well ahead of the domes tic gasollno prod-ictlon. Consequently, attempts are being made to develop motors which use other typea of fuel, such aa wood, crude oil, and gaa gen erated from coal. - Further, Germany la carrying on extenslvo gpologlcal aurveys .to dis cover all possible domestlo oil. This effort has been somewhat rewarded, Inssmuch na the 444.636 tons takon from the ground In 1036 ahows an Increase of 4.6 per cent over 1936.

'You're pitiful trying to sew' says the dressmaker, and Miss Rubin concurs meekly, be cause she thinks a working woman, like a working man, should do her job well and not worry too much about other things. That's about as far as she goes on the men-women question. "Women are people," she says. "If they work well, they hold Jobs. Same way with men." won 6. Her Age a Mysteiy , HOOD RIVER, April 12. AP Martha. Aleck, 'laughter of a tribal chief and so old that nobody knew her exact age, died today. She was a member of the tribe of Columbia river Indians and some aald she was a girl of 16 when General Grant pass ed through here. By Stgrtd Arne (AP feature Service Writer) WASHINGTON -It Is Cora Rubin's slate-blue eyes and faint smile that people meet when they dash Into the office of Senator William E. Borah of Idcho with a brand-new plan to save the world. - Ten-to-one they tell Miss Rubin In stead, snd she passes the plan on to the . senator ln a condensed form, be cause he can't see all the people, read all the letters or take all the phone calls that have come his way since he became the senate's outstanding man on foreign relations. She's e. cham pion "putter-offer." 29 Years On -lob Miss Rubin "got a Job and kept It" I 30 years ago. Borah had Just come to congress. She was a fresh-faced, efficient young woman with a bust- ; nesa-college diploma who had been t hired as a stenographer. Since 1908 she has swung between Washington ; and Boise. In late years her mother comes ; with her. . , Once -Miss Rublh became so curi ous about events In Russia that she took a trip over for a look-sir. But that's about the only time she has left the Job ln three decades. She is the deen of senatorial sec retaries. , She was one of the few women In senatorial offices when she came here, and she still Is one of the few serving as office managers for senators. She has a staff of five, two of them men. ' r Doesn't Smoke Her first Job each day Is to go over the mail. She sorts It Into six boxes, one for farmers and ranchers back home, one for veterans' troubles, one for the league of nations, and so on. All day long her staff phones or calls personally on government depart ments to answer that mall. No lunch for Miss Rubin. Co cigar ette. No minutes out for goealp with other secretaries. No relaxing sport on Sunday. She's almost as much a "lone wolf" as her employer. She smiles down at her 150 pounds, five feet six, and asks. "Welt, do I look undernourished, even if I have no lunch?'1 nretees Conservatively When the senator is active ln a sen ate fight, she listens from the gallery so she can run the office without asking too many questions. The fight over the league of nations was the high-point in Washington life for her. Her pink -and -white, ; triangular face Is soft and feminine. She usu ally Is dressed ln something dark and conservative. - A dressmaker fixes her Tourist travel ln Cuba reached near-record proportions during tha last year, 157,008 visitors entering the island as compared with 103 .000 ln the banner year of 1029-1930.
