Process Is Developed For Butylene Glycol Important Factor In Synthetic Rubber Washington. July 20 — (UP) The agriculture department today announced that its research laboratory In Peoria. 11l . has developed a short, economical process for making butylene glycol — an important factor in the production of synthetic rubber from farm products. Chemists at lhe laboratory have succeeded in producing in the laboratory excellent yields of pure butadiene — from which synthetic rubber Is made —from corn-nude butylene glycol, the department -aid in an announcement issued through the office of war information. Until the process is developed to a "pilot-plant," or semicommercial scale, the department chemists are making no predictions. Butylene glycol itself is a relatively rare chemical with several important war uses. It also is used in the manufacture of antifreeze and commercial solvents. The department's new process for its production involves the fermentation of plentiful farm crops by this method —raw agricultural material to butylene glycol. butylene glycol to butadiene, and butadiene to rubber. The last step is already known and the major problem remaining is conversion of butylene glycol to butadiene or a commercial scale. One of the laboratory officials said the process means that "we have succeeded in making a cheap rubber-like substance 1 from sojrbeaii and corn oil tliat may fill some of the uses of rubber " The announcement came as members of a senate agriculture subcommittee predicted senate passage this week of proposed i legislation for establishment of a rubber strply agency to handle synthetic rubber production from faun products. Chairman Guy M Gillette. !>.,' lowa, said Sen. Elmer Thomas. I D.. Okla., would bring the measute' before the senate for consideration ' tomorrow Gillette also revealed that his subcommittee "has decided to pay no attention" to war' production board chairman Donald M Nelson's opposition to the measure. Senate Republican leader Charles L McNary of Oregon said the bill "is the quickest route we can travel lo get essential rubber . . . | Il has a double value In that it reduces surplus farm commodities and conserves our oil resources."! The proposed legislation, de- j uounced by Nelson as "extremely dangerous," would deprive the WI’B of much of its control over the synthetic rubber program by e.talilishltig a separate agency to i utilize farm tommodllles In making rublier substitutes. Nelson's criticism was aimed at a provision which would empower the UO.nOo-a-year director of the agency to grant priorities on critical material* to firms using agricultural | products in manufacturing butadiene. Nelson has admitted that his butadiene program using oil — | was unsatisfactory; that "if 11 were to start on this program . again. I would allot 6n percent of the plans to rublier from alcohol." Meanwhile, Nelson. Arthur H. N<-whall. the WPB's rubber exar, and other Wl’B officials are reported to be seeking a show down am<>ug the conflicting claims and charges on the rubber situation. Nelson has said that every ounce of rublier that can be channeled iuio military production will mean a corresponding smaller Toss of life on the battlefield. Other "experts" have testified before congreMlonal committees that

German progress in Russia over the weekend measurably increased the twin threat to Rostov and Stalingrad The German advance has not been halted anywhere except around Voronezh, and the latter is not tin objective In the present advance, but rather a holding position to protect the German left flank against a counterattack from the north while the main drive goes ahead at the southern end of the line. The extent of the German advance in the next few weeks may be the factor which will determine the Allied decision on opening an early second front to relieve the pressure on Russia. The German objectives have been stated before snd are still ominously clear. They are to cut through to Stalingrad and down the Volga river to Astrakhan, isolating th< Caucasus oil region and making its capture almost inevitable. The object not only is to cut off the Russian armies from their principal source of oil and to got the oil for German use but to sever Russia's southern line of there is enough rublier lying around the nation in scrap piles to take care of all of the essential needs with a sizeable portion left over for "pleasure driving."

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR "But I’m so terribly sorry—no, not for thst—for what happened before then—at the theater," began Smith and Paula Interrupted: "Ob, thats Darling, yon shouldn’t ever have taken it on, but it didn’t matter—got the biggest laugh in the whole show—Margie even said he’d change ths part if Ponderby could do it that way, but ho was afraid ha couldn’t Anyhow, he's going to keep in the bit where the doorknob comes off—that’s good for a laugh any time." "But do they think I did it ds“l told them you did—l swore you fixed the whole thing with Ponderby just for a gag; Ponderby said you had too, I made him—they ail thought it was marvelous, but then they think you are marvelous, anyhow." “Marvtloutr' “Well, you know—unpredictable.

How did you find t I was here?" i "Darling, it was so easy. 1 asked 1 at Fulverton Station, and they said t sou hadn’t been the.-e, so of course i I thought of CrosMz Magna—” i “Os c<nir»«f W’hy of course?" j “Well, it was pretty obvious you’d r think it wasn’t so obvious—and then the porter there remembered . you, and the guard remembered you’d walked towards the village, , and the woman at the cottage said ' you were up here staring at the five r counties, —it is five, isn’t it? — , everybody remembered you, old boy. t You aren’t terribly good at ruaJuug people forget you. ’ "They certainly won’t fucgntmj performance last night." "Baek again on the same old snb- ’ jeet?

A curl of blue smoke rose I from the huddle of roofs, the ehurch bell was ringing for eveoiha eerv* i ice. Something in the ealm of that darkening panorama kept them si- * lent till they were within sight of the cottage; then she said: "Ob, , by the way—l told the woman you , were my husband." , “Why?" “Because she’d have thought it queer for me to be chasing up a hill after any man who wasn’t." “Is there anjrthing tUt you’ve told anybody about am?" "There isn’t yet. Smithy, but ‘ there might have to be. I'm always 1 ready." She took his arm as hs unlatched the gate that led through an avenue of hollyhocks to the cottage. It was small and four-square, with wln- ■ dows on either side of the front 1 door; at one side of the porch a board announced "Good Aceommo- » dauon for Cyclists." The woman > who had given him the cider led l them smilingly into a room that > opened off the flagged lobby; it was evidently the parlor, crowded with old-fashioned furniture, pictures, t and photographs.
