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

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

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-
