AGENCY BILL
FAILS TO PASS

this group declined to detail
their discussion but said It
f could be assumed that there
'would be no decision on nation
wide gasoline rationing until
the Baruch committee reported.
In a separate letter to Ba
ruch, the president said "a
quick but adequate survey of
'the entire rubber question . . .
would Include not only facts
with respect to existing sup
plies and estimates as to future
needs, but also the question of
the best method to be followed
for obtaining an adequate sup
ply of rubber for our military
and essential civilian require
ments." Baruch issued a statement in
which he said:
' "Command ReceWed"
'.''"The president's command
has been received. The commit
tee has organized itself and is
in action.
"There will be no public
hearings or statements, al
though we may announce the
names of those experts work
ing with us.
'"Whatever we have to say
will be In our report to. the
.president, which we will make
as quickly as we can determine
the facta."
. Mr. Roosevelt said the bill
he was vetoing passed by con
gress with the backing of the
farm -block would hamper In
stead of aid the war effort.
Break-Up Charged
The measure, the president
said in: a message to the sen
ate, would break up an exist
ing -logical .coordination of cen
tralized control in the war pro
duction, board and override pri
orities established by WPB for
materials necessary to make
hundreds of products essential
in war.
Noting that the board had
allocated a certain amount of
rubber to be made from both
agricultural products and pe
troleum, Mr. Roosevelt said
that both types of plants now
'are being constructed and that
others.. 'are ' planned for con
struction "at the greatest possi
ble speed."
The president said that to
take the problem out of the
hands of an' experienced board
with an over-all knowledge of
military and . civilian needs
would disrupt a unified and
expeditious war . production
program.
Discussing ; creation of the
three-man-committee, the pres
ident spoke of confusion over
the rubber situation, saying:
"In recent months there have
been so many conflicting state
ments of fact concerning all
the elements of the rubber sit
uation statements from re
sponsible government agencies
as well as from private sources
that. I have set up a commit
tee of three men to investigate
the whole situation to get the
facts and , to report, them to
me as quickly as possible with
their -recommendations. -:

Harvard and President Compton

whole rubber problem and re
port to him. 1
YjTE certainly need a statement
" on the rubber situation by
someone in whom the public
HAS SOME CONFIDENCE.
It might as well be said with
brutal lrankness that the public
now has little confidence in any
thing or anybody connected with
the domestic rubber program.
The reason for this utter lack
of confidence is the utter lack
of official consistency in con
nection with the whole subject
of rubber. One policy is hinted
at by somebody m supposed au
thority one day. An entirely
different policy is hinted at by
somebody else in supposed su
thority the next.
None of these hinted-at pol
icies seems to jibe with any
other. None seems to indicate
auy intelligent planning at the
top. The impression the public
has received is one of total con
fusion. It is not surprising that there
should be no confidence in the
government's rubber policies
whatever they may be.

It would appear necessary to re

increases.
"The inflationary effects of a
race between prices and wages
cannot be stopped in the ab
sence of a governmental check
upon wage increase as well as
those which arise from wage de
mands in disputed cases."
A 10 cents an hour increase
was asked by the AFL Interna

by the board for night shift
workers instead of five cents

mans drove new wedges Into
Soviet lines at a great sacrifice
in lives, front-line dispatches
said.
A bulletin from German field
headquarters said nail spear
heads, racing southward from
Voroshilovsk, had reached the
main trans-Caucasian railway
linking the Black and Caspian
sens.
This apparently meant that
the invaders had selred the rail
line below Armavir, key Junc
tion on the route, somewhere in
the vicinity of Nevinnomysskaya,
which lies due south of Voroshi
lovsk. It would represent an ad
vance of about 235 miles into the
Caucasui.
As the crisis mounted, with
the Red armies hurled back in
two key sectors during bitter all
night fighting, Europe's capitals
rang with new talk of an allied
second front in western Europe.
"Day Is Near"
"Every day brings nearer the
time when the agreement signed
between Britain and the U. S.
S. R. on the urgency of estab
lishing a second front In Europe
will be put into effect," the Mos
cow radio said.
In London, Premier Pieter S.
Gerbrandy of the Neterhlands
government-in-exlle broadcast to
his countrymen in nazioccupled
Holland, declaring that the tide
of war was turning.
Simultaneously, a fresh flood
of nazi-inspired propaganda em
phasized the asserted strength of
German defenses to combat a
cross-channel invasion attempt.
One dispatch told of "mighty
fortifications of concrete and
iron" extending deep inland from
the English channel coast.
On the Russian front, massive
battles raged throughout the
night; and at mid-day, the Soviet
command " acknowledged that
Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's
armies southeast of Rostov, and
in a new zone at Kotelnikovski,
95 miles southwest of Stalingrad.
But although Moscow com
mentators hinted at an impend
ing Russian counter-offensive,
once Hitler's big push has lost its
momentum, there was still no
indication that the Red armies
were able to do more than fight
a stubborn retreat in sector af
ter sector.

Aroff said he enlisted in the
navy at the age of 14, became a
master plumber by 19 and at 20
was "superintendent of one of
the largest heating and plumb
ing concerns in Los Angeles."
He described himself as "one of
the original designers of pre
fabricated house s," former
weight lifting champion and
former boxing champion.
He said he applied for a com
mission in the naval reserve in
1936 but was rejected for lack
of professional experience and
education. Intensive tutoring on
navigation, seamanship and
mathematics enabled him to get
the commission the same year.

committee's inquiry into war
cargo-carrying possibilities.
After Mr. Murray had testi
fied, Lee told reporters he was
convinced concrete could be
used for the manufacture of
cargo-carrying submarines. He
said a concrete submarine could
be built with one-fifth the steel
used in an all-steel submarine.
Murray, Lee added', wanted to
build a pilot plant for the con
struction of the first concrete
submarine, explaining that once
the forms were built submarines
could be turned out as fast as
the concrete could be mixed and
poured.

Simpson Arrives

Realty , Boards, for whom the

Donald M. Erb, president of

MacRossic, Greenwich, . Conn.,
spoke at a luncheon session. Mar
Rossie is chairman of the Amer
ican Institute of Real Estate Ap
praisers, and is a member of the
Washington committee of the Na
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards, appointed with Simpson.
'.'Ear to Ground"
He outlined the work of the
committee, stating it behooves
realtors to keep their "ears to
the ground" in Washington. He
pointed, out that the army and
navy are the biggest users of real
estate the world has known, and
noted the many ways in which
the government is now interested
in the real estate business of the
nation.
"We are in Washington to pro
tect private enterprise as it re
lates to the real estate business
so far as possible," said Mac
Rossie. "Expansion of govern
ment agencies Is tending to ab
sorb the management of real
properties. We are doing all we
can to prevent it."
He said his group had achieved
a position where it obtains a
ready hearing with any agency
chief in Washington.
