efforts to develop the cultivation of gua-yule rubber plants in California In its plant in Salinas the Intercontinental Rubber Company la producing around 750000 pounda of rubber annually from guayule but this figuratively is only a drop in the bucket compared with America'! total rubber requirements even in peace time Congressman John Anderson of San Juan Bautisle has introduced a hill in congress to appropriate $25000000 to purchase seed and plants in order to sow 43000 acres to guayule And United Sines Senator Sheridan Downey staled: '1 am convinced our government should subsidize and otherwise assist the growing of guayule plants in the United States and I am already on record before the military affairs committee and the different governmental agenrlea in Washington to that effect" 8000 Acres In Guayule At present about 8000 acres are planted to guayule In California The plantings have been made in 105 different placea from Tehama 10 Kern Counly in the interior valleys and from Salinas to San Diego along the coast The college of agriculture at Davis also has been experimenting with the plant for some time The Sacramento Valley serma to lend itself best to the growth of the plant whlrh requires a rather generous Winter rainfall and warm Summers and experts are devoting much attention to the area In the northern part of the vallev as a testing ground for its cultivation Experience has shown that guayule rubber ran be produred prof-itably at a market price of about 11 cents But the world rubber market In recent years has been 'tve to conditions while the price at present la 224 cents per pound a few years back It waa down as low aa 3 cents Not Willing To Gamble remarked Fred Hart vice president of the Sail-nax alley Defense Committee or-ganized to

hunger and discontent which will flare up as soon as the who fervently hope for restoration of the monarchy with the third son of the late King At fonao on the find thal they can stage a successful revolution The Gestapo Is as strong in Spain as it is In other relch occupied countries It la one of the main supporters of Generalissimo Franc Success of British arms in the Mediterranean would unquesllon ably cause Immediate repercussions in Spain Regardless of what the arrangements between the Franco government and the Nazis may be it fell here that the Spanish people will make It impossible for the generalissimo lo fulfill them British Are Stronger Saw The preparations which the British are now making in the Mediterranean will not be a repetition of the past failures of Its general staff The British are far better trained and equipped than they were when they went to Norway and Into the Balkans Moreover the Germans are beginning to feel the strain of the war Facing a shortage of oil and the basic raw materials for the manufacture of arms they ran no longer boast of unlimited man power This Is the picture as military experts in Washington see It Of a total of about 4000000 Germans called to the colors some 1600000 have been killed taken prisoners or otherwise disabled This leaves some 2600000 men In the reich'a fighting armies Adding 500000 men the new reserves who will Join the fighting armies in the relch will have 1000000 fully trained men at its disposal Need 1800000 In Russia Regardless of how many western cities in Russia fall into Nazi hands before next Spring it Is conservatively estimated that at least 1000 000 men must remain on duty in Russia during the Winter No less than 600000 soldiers must garrison the occupied territories from Czechoslovakia to the Atlantic This leaves about 1400000 men for tiu forthcoming campaign in the Middle East and In north Africa It la true that the German high rommand plans to keep watch on the Russian front with its allied forces principally the Italians Military quarters doubt whether the Italians will be able to hold out on the Russian front They haven't much heart in the present war Moreover the Italian troops will not be able to stand the severe Russian Winter The other allies of the the Rumanians the Ruthen-ians and the are not to be relied on The Finns would defend their own borders But it is highly doubtful whether Rumanians without plenty of German soldiers behind them ready to fire on deserters would hold the line beyond the Dniester 1800008 Not Enough Hitler and Admiral Horlhy the Hungarian regent have recently had a heart to heart talk The fuehrer who knows the fighting qualities of the Hungarian soldier is said to have asked Horthy to call a general mobilization and send every available Hungarian division to the Russian front But even if the German high command were to detail only 500000 men to the 1800 mile eastern front the German fighting forces in the African and middle eastern theater of operations would not exceed 2000000 men And in the opinion of American military observers this figure is not sufficient to guarantee a victory Confident that the Germans will not attempt to invade Britain the British genersl staff is now able to transfer the bulk of Its forces which have kept watch in England since last year to places where they ran meet the Germans It is conservatively estimated that by the end of October the British will have at least 8T0000 fully equipped men from Tobruk to the Iranian border With this force to which "other armies" might be added In the event of an initial success Brit-tan hopes to be able to turn the tables on the axis within the course of the next few months There is no question that Brilain will attempt to invade Europe The British expect and hope to start breaking the power of the Wehr-macht by severe blows outside Europe The tables have already been turned against the relch elsewhere While Britain's allies and associates are of effective help to the empire is an artual fighting partner and the United States is watching the North Atlantic and is providing the fighting armies with all the war material they need German's partners are "silent" In fart the Italians and the Rumanians are a drag They have to be supplied with everything they need from Germany's emptying larder: their soldiers don't fight unless well surrounded by Germans IV 48er Night Tiles Sept 23 Members ladies friends 8 (adv Rotary Will Hear A Gerrit Vender Hooning of Washington an Office of Production

The ex prrienees they have had during the last few weeks were an eye opener to Berlin At Vichy the government Is treating the Nazi agents with all due courtesy Promises are being made Individuals are arrested at the suggestion of the Gestapo but many of them "escape" these days In occupied France things are still worse Attacks on the German Army of Occupation are a dally occurrence So are acts of sabotage Thousands are being arrested and reports indicate that scores are being executed Some of the high ranking Nazi generals have been removed for not having foreseen or taken steps to prevent these outbreaks Nazis Reek Laval Successor Former Premier Laval has recovered from the assassin's bullets But he Is dead as far as the Germans are concerned Berlin has no use for men who have to be

and there she was told to go to Rlon and see her former employer and offer him the job of dictator of France The Germans promised him much more support than they gave to Laval He was told that if he wanted the Germans could manage to get rid of Petsin and that he and Darlan would become the sovereign rulers of France Daladier a veteran of the last war Is known to be popular with the soldiers unlike Laval he could speak their language And Herr Abetz was convinced that Daladier would succeed where Laval had failed Daladier Rpurn Job According to reliable reports from Vichy Daladier ordered his former secretary out of the room the moment she told him of her conversation with Abetz Daladier told her to inform Herr Abetz and his friends that he would rather rot for the rest of his days in a dungeon (the truth is that he is quits comfortably installed in a chateau now used as a house of detention for high ranking politicians) than be free and rich as a tool of the Nazis The German Government then went so far as to appmarh Juhaux one of the leaders of the left wing radical Socialists with the suggestion that he collaborate with the Nazis In establishing a Social Democratic state
