Synthetic Rubber System
Hod AH Elements of a
Thriller-Except Blonde
(Editor's Note: This Is the
third of four ankles on Amer
ica's war-tlmo rubber problem )
By JAMES MAHLOW and
WILLIAM PINKEHTON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27
(Wide World) The tale of Wac
law Szukiewlcz had all tho ele
ments of an international mys
tery thriller except tho beauti
ful blonde.
Tho things Hint happened af
ter Leon Henderson crossed the
Pole's trail havo been, says tho
hard-boiled prlco control man,
"of an E. Phillips Opponhclm
nature and it was really some
thing of a governmental romance
In a way."
Tho story had secret formulas
for making synthetic rubber,
spies and sleuths, Invasion and
heartache, hurried flight from
homo, diplomacy and tho fren
zied undercover battle of gov
ernments for a precious nsset.
Skotchy Outline
But it was all only part of this
country's search for a way to
make synthetic rubber needed to
repluco our dwindling stocks of
natural rubber whoso supply was
cut off when tho Japanese seized
our Far East sources.
Only tho sketchiest outlines of
the Polo's tnlo have been told:
When tho Germans rolled
through Poland nt tho start of
tho war they seized, among that
country's other assets, Poland's
Important plant for making rub
ber out of a process Involving ol
coliol.
Hut tho Inventor of tho
process, Szukluwicz, who had
worked tirelessly sinco 1020 to
find tho chemical keys, had slip
ped across tho border and es
caped to France.
Sent to Italy
Tho life of Szuklcwicz was Im
portant for ho alono knew the
catalyst which made the process
work. Tho name of tho catalyst
had never been written clown.
Ho carried it in his head.
In that year of 1030 the French
were trying to nppcaso Mussolini
so they sent Szuklcwicz to Italy,
to glvo away his formula for
making rubber. Tho scientist
was in Italy when II duce de
clared war on France and on
patriotic Poles in 1D40. Ho es
caped Italy and went to Rio do
Janeiro.
It was spring of 1041 when
tho refugee Count Tarnowskl of
tho Polish foreign office asked
William B. Lacy, Unison man in
Washington for Leon Hender
son's defense set-up, if the Unit
ed States would be Interested in
a formula for making synthetic
rubber. Tho formula was given
Lacy by another Pole In New
York.
Koy Mining
Agrlculturo department chem
ists pored over the chemical
blueprints but key parts includ
ing tho catalyst were missing.
Lacy wont back to see tho count.
They turned tho slow wheels of
diplomacy to bring Szuklcwicz
from Itlo to New York, Ho ar
rived Just before Pearl Harbor,
lie was secretive but ho final
Iv invn hiR ttlaiiH entire to triv.
crnmcnt chemists, Including tho
catalyst.
Now, finally, thcro Is pending
II proposal to construct a small
lilllnt liuittis Iho Ptl'i'a mi'llinH
but at this time of wartime se
crecy over vital processes, the
government is unwilling to dis
ci ore figures showing what part
his process will play In tho man-
uiiieiuro or synthetic rubber,
Meantime, the agriculture de
partment's research laboratory
at Peoria. III., and private
iii4,-ii,-ifM tinvn hi.nn 1,4 urnrlf
seeking ways to mako tho rub-
oer irom larrn products.
Until last January tho pro
gram revolved almost entirely
around ono raw material pe
troleum. The picture has
changed. So far tho synthetic
rubber program has a planned
capacity of 870,000 tons. Of that
total 200.00(1 Ions havo ht.t.n
signed to rubber from alcohol
manufactured from grain and
other agricultural products.
Indifference
The rubber companies, which
actually must make tho tires and
other finished products, say it Is
a matter of Indifference to them
whether tho butadiene compon
ent of synthetic rubber comes
from petroleum, coal, natural
gas or alcohol and that they
havo no preference between
grain alcohol and industrial al
cohol. Ho long as the butadiene is
uniform, the rubber will bo the
same. Technicians seem to think
now that, from a chemical view
point, butadiene can be made
equally well from petroleum
and from alcohol.
But men liko Senator Norris
of Nebraska and Senator Gil
lette of Iowa had charged that
largo business interests dominat
ed iho original consideration of
synthetic rubber production.
Difference of Opinion
Thcro is great difference of
opinion on the cost and use of
critical materials in building the
synthetic rubber plants.
Alcohol process advocates say
it lakes a much more critical
material (such as steel and cop
per) to build a plant for making
butadiene from petroleum. The
petroleum people deny this.
It seems generally agreed that
15 to 18 months will be needed
to get the petroleum-using plants
into operation, although Eugene
Houdry claims to havo a petrol
eum process which could be
brought Into production In far
less time.
Tho alcohol people say their
plants could be operating in six
to 10 months, and this view now
seems to bo accepted by WPB.
There aro Indications that, if
tho synthetic rubber program is
further expanded beyond the
planned 870,000-ton capacity,
rnoro alcohol plants might be in
cluded. GOOD EXAMPLE
