EXPERT INSISTS U, S. CAN sum ITS OWN RUBBER Washington —<U.R)—O. F. Cook, rubber expert of the agriculture department, believes rubber cun be successfully grown in the United States. "The American rubber deficiency need not be permanent, since rubber is a plant product, and many plants that produce rubber can be grown in the United States,” Cook said. "Mechanical and chemical methods of extracting the rubber probably must be used if the production of rubber Is

to become a practical possibility in the United States.” Tree Survives 20 Years Cook said one small Hevea rubber tree was survived for more than 20 years in an unfaborable location in southern Florida, but even with this success, rubber plantations similar to those in the east would not be practical in the United States since the tapping operation, for drawing rubber milk from tiie bark, would lie too expensive when performed by high-price labor. "Shrubs or smaller plants may be better than trees for extracting rubber in other ways than by tapping. A mechanical process lias been developed and applied successfully to the extraction of rubber from the guayule

shrub, a desert plant which grows wild in northern Mexico," "In addition to guayule, there archundreds of other species of trees, shrubs, vines, and smaller herbaceous plants that contain rubber, many of I which are known already to grow under our condition, though only a small proportion of the eligible sp -cles have been tested. Some are tropical plants tliut probably would bo confined to southern Florida dry regions like the southwestern states," Cook pointed out that the Assam rubber tree, a native of northern India. is well known in house hold cultivation in the form of cuttings known as rubber plants. Two species of rubvines from Madagascar are being planted in many localities as ornamentals because of their handsome folige nnd flowers. Experiments Under Way

‘ Experiments arc also being made with native rubber-bearing plants of the hot desert districts of southern California and Arizonia. The most ! promising species is one of the desert milkweeds with tapering, slender stems, growing in clumps like large lunch grass. Methods of cultivating this plant are being worked out, and it would be grown In large quantities in the desert districts if the processes of extracting and utilizing the rubber were developed. "Many hardy temperate-region plants also contain lubber and might be grown over a large part of the United States if the quantity and quality of rubber were sufficient and practicable methods of extraction were developed "One of the hardy forms is a tree

I Communist Loses Standing With Party When He Puts Bathtub In Apartment

Uy International News Service , Charkov, Ukraine - Can a Commit-1 nist install a bath tub in his apartment and retain his standing as tt good proletarian? The young Communists of CltarkoV evidently believe is is impossible. In their newspaper the “Ukrainian Young Communist" they have carried on a campaign for the retnbval from office of M. Buzdalin, chairman of the district executive committee because of his alarming bourgeois learnings. M. Buzdalin recently remodeled hts apartment. He spent 321) rubles for a bathtub, and 870 rubles for linoleum for the floors. New paint and wallpaper and oilier repairs cost him 2.000 rubles ($1,000). In their attack the young Communists ask how a good proletarian whose
