DEFINITE indication in the California election returns
is that Governor Culbert Olson's days are numbered
as chief executive of the big neighboring state. 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.

WASHINGTON. 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.

state highway commission will
meet in Portland tomorrow to

Dr. Waldo Semon Has Made
5000 Synthetic Rubbers

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.

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
