WASHINGTON Merry-Go-Round Roosevelt's Advisers Urged Veto to Block Guayule Bonanza for International Rubber By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. President Roosevelt vetoed the guayule rubber act after his agricultural advisers urged him to act, pointing out the bill as passed by congress would have given a lush rubber bonanza to the International Rubber in Arizona and Southern California. By thU act the government -would have leased lands, materials, and guayule seedlings from the International Rubber Co.

for $2,000,000 and at the end of 10 years would have turned them back to the private company with all the improvements; and since It takes several years for rubber plants to develop, the government presumably would have turned the rubber plantations back to the private company just about the time they would have become a thriving and profitable business. Even the contracts for synthetic rubber factories, being built through Jesse Jones' loans, contain safeguards for the government's future property interests. Most interesting thing about this guayule act was that the bill as originally passed by the senate went quite far in safeguarding the public's Interests. It provided that the government might "purchase" the land from the International Rubber Co. and thus not be under obligation to return it after 10 years of improvement.

Bill Amended The senate bfll also provided that the government might acquire the property by condemnation instead of having a maximum figure of $2,000,000 fixed. The senate bill also provided that lands might be acquired in any part of the western hemisphere, thus letting Mexico in on the deal under the good neighbor policy a country where guayule already grows. However, when certain southwest congressmen got through with the bill in the house, it was purged of all these protective provisions and confined the secretary of agriculture to leasing the land and relinquishing It after 10 years of improvement. NOTE During the final senate debate, Senator Downey of California stated that' the emasculated house bill had been okayed by Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long. Other state department officials, it is known, did not agree with Long.

White House Barriers The street which separates the White House from the treasury (East Executive avenue) is now blocked off on account of the war. Passing this barrier, a taxicab passenger remarked to the driver: "What's the matter? Don't they trust you cab drivers?" "Oh yes, sir," replied the driver. "But they don't trust our passengers." This particular passenger was William Vosmer, executive of Re-publio Steel corporation, now with the war production board. Tom Dewey and U.S.O. Main reason for the resignation of Tom Dewey as national chairman of the United Service organization was that he wanted to throw his full energies into campaigning for the New York governorship.

However, this Isn't the whole story. Inside fact Is that Dewey has been fed up with the U.S.O. job for some time, tells friends that (Continued on Page 23, Column 5) CRIN AND BEAR IT ByLichty "Why, no, I know nothing about to ask you want to sell SECTION TWO INLAND EMPIRE SECTION TWO INLAND EMPIRE AND THE DAILY ORANGE BELT NEWS S.
