Y
Valentine, Neb., Sept. 13
OJ.R) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
relaxed today at the half-way
mark on his transcontinental
campaign tour, exuding the
most confidence since his nomi
nation in June that he will win
the presidential election in No
vember. There were two major en
couraging factors:
1. Optimistic reports from
midwestern republican leaders
r on the outlook in Iowa, Nebras-
ka and South Dakota.
2. Returns from Maine's state
election showing what Dewey
described as "the greatest re
publican landslide in the his
tory of the state."
News Enjoyed
Dewey obviously enjoyed the
,. encouraging news, as well as
his period of relaxation at the
of former Gov. Samuel R. Mc
Kelvie, western manager of the
New York governor's presiden
tial campaign.
It was evident when he walk
ed briskly out on the lawn yes
terday afternoon and announced
to the assembled correspond
ents: "Gentlemen, I have a
story for you."
He has just finished a long
telephone conversation with Re
publican National Chairman
Herbert Brownell, Jr., during
which he received the results of
the Maine election in which the
republican party won the gu
bernatorial and congressional
races.
Pointing out that republican
candidae polled more than 70
per cent of the total vote, an
Increase of seven per cent over
1940, Dewey said it was proof
that "the marked republican

Successfully Strip Cork
From Pacific Coast Trees
San Francisco (UP) The first corkwood produced commerci
ally in the United States, which had always imported its entire
annual corks requirements of some 160,000 tons from Spain,
Portugal and North Africa, is now being stripped from the cork
oak trees at Millbrae. Niles and Sunol, practically a champagne
cork shot from San Francisco.
California, which has a clim
ate not unlike the cork growing
countries of the Mediterranean,
grows more cork trees than any
other state. The quality of the
bark compares favorably with
that grown in Spain and Portu
gal, says Professor Woodbridge
Metcalf, . extension forester at
the University of California.
The national Industry, how
ever, is still in its infancy, and
will not be able to fill the na
tional needs for a few years yet.
The first production contem
plates the stripping of about 50
trees, with a resultant return of
about 250,000 pounds of cork.
The largest stand of mature
cork trees in the United States is
at Bidwcll Park, Chico, Calif.,
comprising more than 600 trees
planted by the University of
California In 1904. These prob
ably won't be ready for commer
cial stripping until 1955.
. The first commercial cork
stripping of California trees was
made early in July by the Crown
Cork and Seal Corporation,
which four years ago began a
nationwide cork planting project
designed ultimately to eliminate
the necessity of importing cork.
The program, established in co
operation with the State Fores
try department and the U. S.
Forest Service, included the col
lection of thousands of cork
acorns and the distribution of
seedlings to all land owners in
terested In growing cork trees.
Approximately 150.000 trees
have been planted in California,
some of them side bv side with
the 4.000 mature trees 60 to 80
years old that are found In pri
vate estates, parkc and along the
highways. Thousands of trees
have been planted In the 17
other states having cork proiects
In February, 1,050 seedlings
were planted near the Pulgas
Water Temple at Crystal Springs
reservoir, Calif., now the largest
cork oak plantation in the Unit
ed States, and plans are under
way for planting an additional
5.000 trees this fall.
