MEDFORD MAIL TRTBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. JUNE S. 1940. PAGE FIVE V Eyes Fifth Column URGED IN DRIVE FOR GUARDSMEN Vacation From Jobs for Field Training Would Help Attract Needed Recruits Medford'i Company A, 186th infantry of the Oregon National guard, is in immediate need of a aubstantial number of new members to increase enrollment to the authorized strength of 86 men, the commanding officer said today as the campaign for recruits continued. The recruiting campaign open ed last Saturday only a few weeks after the company s strength had been increased from 80 to 86. Not long before that, the strength was stepped up from 60 to 80. Youths 18 to 30 years old may procure In formation about enrollment from 1st Sgt. George F. Lindley at the armory or Glenn Laidley at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. Cooperation Sought The cooperation of employers is sought by MaJ.-Gen. George A. White, commanding the 41st division, who recently wrote to persons or firms having national guardsmen ' in their employ. Pointing out that the national guard is a component of the army and subject to instant call in case of national emergency, General White stated in his let ter that guardsmen are volun teers who, while carrying on their civilian work, train them selves as soldiers "by surrender of their evenings and vacation periods." The encampment period this year has been extended to 21 days, beginning August 4, the increased period being consid ered the "minimum for overcom ing training handicaps" at this "critical time when our defense forces are woefully lacking in training for field service," the general wrote. He continued: "Employers who benefit from the security afforded them by these soldiers can cooperate in the following ways in gaining sadly needed training for our Initial protective forces: "a. Permit the guard member or members In your employ to have his or their vacation on the dates of field training. Where no vacation is accrued hold the soldier's Job open for him during this brief absence. "b. Equalize the loss sus tained by the soldier by allow- Hugh H.

Many employers have been doing this for many years." DEVELOPED BY S.O. Flemington, N. J., June S. (jP) W. S. Farish, president of Standard Oil Co. of New Jer sey, announced today that com pany technicians had developed a new type of synthetic rubber with which Standard Oil would be able to supply "any required quantities" to the United States. The new rubber, he said, has been named "butyl." "We believe," said Farish. "that butyl is superior to nat ural rubber for many uses It is already in production at our Eaywal (Elizabeth, N. J.) labor atory where two tons have been made. Farish said the new "butyl' is not as resistant to oil as is "buna" made in Germany but that in some other respects the new rubber is superior to the German discovery. By Franklin Mullln. Chicago, June 5. T h e western hemisphere, tradition ally the world's foodbasket. ap peared today to be capable of sending huge food supplies to war-torn Europe. An Inventory of America's food reservoirs show that they are unusually well stocked and better prepared than 23 years ago to help feed Europe's war refugees. Millions of bushels of surplus wheat, the basic food, are avail able. Other grain supplies are sufficient to meet any unusual foreign demand and meat sup plies also apparently are plen tiful. Relief Conjecture. Whether the relief work would reach World war propor tions was a matter of conjec ture among food merchants and exporter's who sought answers to such questions as: How rapidly will demand for food from Eurbpe expand, if at all? How will relief work be done, by whom and under what financial arrangements' Some clues were seen in the arrangement with the depart ment of sericulture whereby the American Red Cross can obtain some surplus foods at about half the market cost Government steps to make loans on grain callable on demand for any emergency, thereby giv ing it control over large sup plies, also were cited, along with recent British purchases of 90,000,000 bushels of Can adian wheat, enough for three months' normal supply. i Exporters said the extent of abnormal use of western hemi sphere foods would depend up on the course of the war. its duration and possibly the vic tors. European crop conditions in many regions are unfavor able and many f aimers are in uniform. Two Competitors. The United States, which had the largest portion of the Eu ropean import market to itself at the beginning of the last war. finds itself with two maior food producing and exporting competitors on this side of the Atlantic Canada and Argen tina. Out of a crop of almost 500, 000.000 bushels last year, one of the largest on record, Canada still has morn than 300,000.000 bushels, better than double the supply a year ago, with a new crop already seeded, Argentina has only about 30,000,000 buehels left from a small crop early this year, but a new crop will be ready the first of next year. The United States supply available for ex port and carryover in the sea son beginning next July 1 has been estimated at almost 300, 000,000 bushels, or more than 100,000,000 above "safe" re- SCOT!
