optimism < oucernmg the success of the synthetic program The "moat inqiortant reason" for the stockpile deficiency 1* industrial, non-defeiiee consumption of rubber which, in 1941. was permitted to rise to unprecedented heights, the committee said. Duta presented to the committee, the report said, showed tiiat the stockpile desired by the end of 1841 was 430.000 tons, But ut the end ot the year, the government bud only 2*7.514 loos. "In 1941, American rubber con- , sumption had reached the all-time high of 760,000 tone, largely because the OI'.M permitted automobile production to increase instead of requiring the immediate conversion of automobile plants for defense production," I'. said. Discussing Jones’ role in the synthetic program, the committee said that in May. 1941, Jones succeeds d in reducing a program for annual production of 100.000 tons of synthetic rubber to 10,000 tons. "Thus Mr. Jones effected a savings of 120,000.000.fr0m the amount which aas authorized by the president and eliminated 90,000 tons capacity per year from the amount of rubber which a committee of experts acting on the best information available and upon advice from the army and navy munitions, board had recommended," the report said. The international rubber regulation committee, “in i ff' ct an international (British-Butch) cartel,” rigidly controlled tin- export of crude rubber from the Far East and refused to agree to raise production to 100 percent of capacity until Nov. 1940. the report said. The committee reviewed testimony it received on a cartel agreement betwei-n the Standard Oil Co.. IN. J t and I. G. Farbenindiistrie. The agreement has been dissolved by a consent decree tiled in federal district court for New Jersey. “The documentary evidence out of Standard's own files requires the conclusion that Standard, as a result of its cartel arrangements with the I G. Faflien. and as a result of its general business philosophy, did hamper tin- development of synthetic rubber in the i'nited States and did place itself in a |*osltlon . where its officials, although personally patriotic men, engaged in activities helpful to the Axis nations and harmful to the United Nations," she report charged. One potential source of rubber, the report continued. is scrap But I It pointed out ths’ no adequate program has been set up to collect scrap rubber and see that it gels to processing plants.

Fighting Reported In Paris Streets Report Mussolini Demands Territory London. May 26. —(UP) —The exchange telegraph agency suggested today that a gun battle in Park) between Marshal Henri Philippe Petain's youth organization and "police and doubtful elements" still was raging. The agency heard the German controlled radio Paris broadcasting that members of the youth movement were "attacked" while walking through the Latin quarter. No details could be given, radio Paris said, indicating, the agency said, that the fight was atlll going on. The Daily Mail * listening post said the radio had made no attempt io explain whether police fired on the youths, or acted In their defense. In a subsequet broadcast, radio Paris did not mention police, and blamed “doubtful elements" entirely. The reports arouaed speculation among London observers. Petain's youth movement was fashioned along Fascist lines, and ft was believed that French police and patriots were protecting themselves, o-peclally If the youths were con-

He left for Vichy i last night after spending three day* I there, and a dispatch from unoccupied France said he received "numerous French and German personalities as well a* close collaborationists" on Sunday. London newspapers quoted radio Ankara that Benito Mussolini had »ent a note to Vichy, demanding Corsica, Nice and Tunisia. There wa* other evidence that the Italians were annoyed because they believed Adolf Hitler was cheating them out of legitimate spoils. The Italian organ Realazloni International!. dos< to the foreign office, called Laval's policy a "comedy" and demanded that the French say once and for all whether they were for the Axis or the democracies.
