Attorney General Earl Warren not only easily won the republican nomination, where his opposition was of little importance, hut he also cut tremendously into the democratic vote. This does not necessarily assure his election in November, but it points in that direction. It reveals unquestionable dissatisfaction in California with the incumbent's ad ministration. Warren has risen to be a politics through his successful public career as Alameda county district attorney and as attorney general of the state. He has won a reputation as a foe of vice and rackets. He is an astute politician, who has built his fences well. It appears that Congressman Harry L. Engelbright of the enormous second congressional district, which em braces nearby Modoc and Siskiyou counties, has won re election by taking both republican and democratic nom inations. In his case, it is again shown that people are not turning down congressmen who did not agree wholly with the Roosevelt administration on foreign policy be fore Pearl Harbor. 'Four other congressmen of California, with similar records in this regard, apparently are sched uled for a return to Washington. . Californians voted lightly in the primary. A heavier vote in November might change the situation, but it is not likely. However, Olson now has the democratic nom ination, and Warren the republican nomination, and a stiff fight can be expected before the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Fatigue at the Wheel OVER-TAXING the human body at the wheel of an automobile is a fairly common tendency, even in these days of supposedly slower -and reduced driving. It is still one of the most dangerous thines that haDDens on the highway, and the cause that near Klamath Agency There is too much driving all night The fatigued driver not only must resist a growing desire to fall asleep, dui even tnougn ne Keeps awaKe his reactions are slowed and he is not prepared for the emergencies which are likely to occur on the road. . Several fatal accidents have happened on The Dalles- uamornia highway north of here as a result of drivers falling asleep. These incidents have occurred on this highway because it is part of a favored coastwise route, one that is heavily used by cars on long trips. For the Inost part, The Dalles-California highway passes through level country, with few cliffs or even steep embankments on the roadside. In case a driver falls asleep, the chances are better of coming out alive on this highway than others less favored. But even on this highway, it is highly dan gerous to drive too long and too far without rest. Vendors1 Ordinance Passes ONE trouble with action such as that taken by the city council Monday night,, in adopting an ordinance which admittedly was directed at Jehovah's Witnesses, is that it plays into the hands of an obnoxious group which makes capital of every attack and every restrictive measure. Our guess is that there was no disappointment m the ranks of the witnesses over the council's action. Another, and more valid objection to the ordinance, is that it is a step in the direction of intolerance. So deli cately balanced is the question of abrogation of consti tutional rights in such a measure that on virtually the same issue the United States supreme court rendered a split decision, 6 to 4. i-i at,has happened" here, is this: Most of us do not like the ideas or methods of a certain small group of people, so we go before a legislative body and get it to pass restrictive legislation. We do it with sincere pa triotic motives. But the wider implications are here. The ordinance cannot be enforced with discrimination. It applies, for instance, to the distribution of the War Cry by the Salvation Army. We cannot be expected to tolerate seditious and trait orous activities. We do not pretend to know if Jehovah's Witnesses are engaged in such activities, but if they are, there are federal laws to take care of them, and they should be invoked. OBITUARY CHARLES W.

Aug. 26 While soot from scattered labor fires has been soiling the front pages, Mr. Roosevelt' trouble-compromiser, J u d g amuel Rosenman, has bee prowling around the govern uichl stx-king new adminis trative formula for wages and prices which might wet the situation down somewhat. A 1 1 e rnative r e c o mmenda tions were slip ped Into Mr. Roosevelt's poc ket by his ad vis e r without a n nouncement last week: Paul Mallon 1. That the war labor board be expanded into a wage con trol board, handling not only the cases for the unions that come before it now, but admin- istering an affirmative national wage policy, designed to hold wages down. 2. That a new economic con trol board over wages and prices be formed to act in purely top policy-making ca pacity. It would be made up of Price Administrator Leon Hen' derson, Manpowerer Paul Mc- Nutt, War Labor Board Chair man Davis, Donald Nelson of WPB, Agriculture Secretary Wickard, and Chairman Eccles, of federal reserve. This second alternative look ed to every one like the one Mr. Roosevelt would adopt as the basis of a new wage-price stabilization policy. If he built up WLB and left Henderson to continue as now, the rearrange ment would preserve the worst existing features of conflict be tween the two organizations. But even if he took the sec ond plan and built a new coali tion board to thresh out both wage and price policy, he would have to lay down the policy himself, because those six .men could hardly be expected to agree on one themselves. He would have to effect a com promise between Henderson, Davis and Wickard for instance, and their super-board would merely . direct existing adminis trative bureaus to change and conform. . Attorney General Biddle is supposed to have told the presi dent he can do this without go ing to congress for legislation and opening the matter to de bate. PRODUCTION SNARL Judge Rosenman also has been searching quietly for a solution of another subject the establishment of coherence in the production effort between Mr. Nelson, the army, navy and others. In this case also Rosenman is supposed to have recommended a super-board, composed of the heads of all the agencies in volved, in order to end the dif ferences between them. An announcement from the White House on both these mat ters was expected last week, but failed to appear. The sup position prevalent on the out side is that the president de cided to wait until political campaigns in various states were over, before stepping out with such powerful reorganizations.

Br JAMES MARLOW And WILLIAM PINKERTON WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (Wide World When someone tells Dr. Waldo Semon of a miraculous new synthetic rubber he laughs and says: I ve made 5000 synthetic rub bers in my day and only one of them was fit for tires." He has been at it a lone tim since 1B25 as an outstanding researcher in the B. F. Goodrich company-laboratory. Others al so were seeking rubber in the years before Pearl Harbor. But until the Japanese attack there was no great pressure in this country for synthetic rub ber since the supply of crude, natural rubber which came from the Far East was cheap and plen- UIUL On Threshold - By the time the Jananesa struck cuttin off those im ports of natural rubber we had only reached the threshold of commercial production of syn thetic. In 1941. when America used 766,000 tons of rubber, this na tion produced only 11.000 tons of the synthetic kind. ' Now this country's synthetic rubber program is chugging along and it will be at least an. other year before, it nears capacity production, perhaps la ter than that. Semon's one-in-5000 synthetic rubber which works In tires was called "Ameripol," a trade name. Half-Ameripol, half-rubber tires were placed on the market ex perimentally by the Goodrich company in July, 1940, but its present all-Ameripol tres are be ing tried out now on the armv's trucks and combat cars. Other companies were orodue. ing synthetic rubber under vari ous trade names while the Good rich developments were taking place. Some of them were in tended for tires, some for special uses. The name "Ameripol" Is a combination of two words: Amer ican and polymerlzer. It may have been Intended to needle h German Chemical Trust, I. G. raroeninaustrie. wh eh had Ion boasted of exclusive success in making rubber out of coal and Oil. The secret of that ell-covered by American eat. ents was the "polymerlzer" which converted butadiene and siyrcne into rubber. The butadiene, a gas, could be made from coal, natural gas, pa troleum or alcohol. Styrene, a liquid, was made from petrol eum. Making butadiene Is fair ly difficult, making styrene is less so. Interest Acquired Through Inter-compsny agree ments made long before the war, the Standard Oil company had acquired an Interest in the Ger mans' process for making a syn. thetle rubber tire out of buta diene and styrene. After the war struck Europe, Standard acquired control nt th German patent rights In the United States. (After Pearl Har bor they were made part of the patent pool for getting synthetic yr wa mvtct. pf jr. n. tro.u a. tut, pay. rubber industry started quickly.) But the senate Investigating committee headed by Senator Truman (D-Mo.) has found that Standard was hampered In get. ting Into commercial develop ment fn 1939 because the Ger- man Chemical Trust, for reasons of "military expediency." ro. fused to make available the nec essary designs and Information. Low-Cost Rubbar Meanwhile, however, 1 on the basis of patented processes re ceived from the Germans, Stan dard was developing a low-cost synthetic rubber of its own, a butyl type made from the same isobutylene used to make high octane aviation gasoline. Since cost hitherto had been the main hurdle of the synthe tics, this was an Important step. Although the Standard butyl was not suited for tires then (and Is not suited for military tires now) it naa other uses. It was fortunate that al though by the end of 1941 the na. tlon had become almost totally dependent upon synthetics once its stockpile of crude rubber was used up a small experimen tal program of building synthe tic rubber plants had been ap proved by the government. Government Aid Government financing h a A been arranged for plants with about 40,000 tons of capacity yearly. The program finally annrnvs-H In late March. 1941, was that four major rubber companies each should build and equip a synthetic rubber plant capable of producing 2500 tons a year. It was intended that these plants, none of them in operation on the day of Pearl Harbor, eould be ex panded quickly to produce 40, 000 tons yearly. The program was Increased In January to 400,000 tons. Later it was doubled again and now it has been suggested the total ca pacity may be increased to 1 mil lion or 1,200,000 tons of synthe tic a year. Long Road The road between letting the contracts to getting tho rubber is long and tough. This summer many of the projects were still in the land-buying and blue-print stage. The Truman committee said some plants had been blocked by low priorities ratines and blamod a lack of central control of the government's rubber program. The present 870,000.ton pro-. gram called for 770,000 tons by the butadlene-or buna process, 60,000 by butyl, and 40,000 by neoprene, a Dupont process. Most of the program Is built on petroleum but 200,000 tons of the butadiene rubber will come from alcohol. Dealer shortages nut new value on used merchandise.

TO BE QUESTIONED JERSEY CITY, N. J Aug. 26 OP) Government officials an nounced today that about 150 passengers among tho moro than 1400 repatriates aboard tho dip lomatic liner Grlpsholm had been taken to Ellis Island for questioning. While there was no official comment on the reason for this, ostensibly it was because offi cials had found thoir papers un satisfactory or wished to ques tion them more intensively. The U. S. immigration station is on Ellis Island and It Is there that enemy alien hearings are conducted. There was tho possi bility that some misht have been transferred thcro because of illness, since there Is also a government hospital on tho Is land. When victory comes we shall stand shoulder to shoulder in seeking to nourish the great ideals for which we fight. It is a worthwhile 'battle. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, to President Roosevelt.
