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.

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

asking too many questions. The
