(INS) Gov. Dwight Green, head of the state council of defense, today called upon all Illinois sheriffs and county clerks to aid in the rationing of sugar.

The county clerks were asked to serve as consignees of the vari ous printed forms that must be filed by individual and trade con sumers of sugar before the actual rationing, while the sheriffs were asked to provide storing space for the forms which will be sent direct ly to the 102 counties from gov ernment printing offices. Under the rationing program there are to be two classes of regis trants, trade and individual ulti mate consumers. Each classifica tion will register on different days, the individual consumers in public elementary schools and the trade in public high schools. The dates have not been set thus far. Rationing to individual ultimate consumers will be by stamps issued one to a person in individually numbered booklets to be known as war ration book No.

1. Applica tions for the booklets for each member of the family may be made on a family unit basis by one mem ber of the family. Although no individual allotment of sugar has yet been officially an nounced it is contemplated that the weekly ration will be about 12 ounces per person. class gunner, according to word re ceived by his parents.

Others are regular blood donors. Many are typists at control centers, linking up vital civil defense networks with almost uncanny speed. Paint Experts Advise On Blackout Windows WILMINGTON, Del. (U.P.) If you plan using paint to blackout your windows, do the painting on the -outside or resign yourself to life in a house of mirrors. Paint experts at Du Pont re search laboratories warn that paint applied to the inside of window glass serves to make mirrors of the outside.

The glass reflects every glow trom the outside and would make the building a perfect target after bombing planes had dropped flares. The best type of paint to use is flat paint The color should black, dark brown or olive drab. Plate glass, however, should not be painted with dark paint because of heat absorption and pos sible breaking of the glass. 3718 Main SU Indiana Harbor MEATY VEAL LEGS GENUINE SPRING LEGS '0 LAMB TENDER.

J. Cordlier, prb-; fessor of political science at Man- Chester college, predicted at the East Chicago forum in the Roosevelt high school last night The speaker based his remarks on a tour of South America last summer in which his capacity brought him into elose contact with governmental heads in a number of the countries.

Cites Two Factors "Both republics are faced with a realization that exports to the United States can range from mil lions to a paltry few thousands of Dr. Cordier said. "Hence, they likely will join their neighbors in signing the pact. "The signing will culminate a sequence of events which began in 1933 when our trade relations began a process of betterment. The principal factors involved are: "First, South Americans of the more intelligent class have re turned to their homes from visits here and corrected the impression existant then that this country is peopled with gangsters who go about ehooting one another.

"Second, our tradesmen have moved their families to whatever South American, "oealties their business carries them and this associ-atioThas been beneficial from the goodwill standpoint German agents, on the other hand, have been 'suitcase salesmAi' and do not mix well with the populace in the communities where they are located." Calls Parley a "Success'" The speaker stressed that American business has entered a war with German merchants over service to our southern neighbors and that we are winning that war. He cited an example in the recently completed government building in Rio de Janeiro, whose beautifully decorated interior was marred by standard typewriters of American manufacture. The makers, however, substituted machines with appropriate coloring and salvaged an order which might have gone to Nazi firms. The shooting of French hos tages for the killing of German military officers and soldiers in occupied France also has aroused resentment against the Hitler government which rapidly is submerg ing the opinion in many areas particularly those in which German colonies are located that the Axis will win the war, the speaker said. Dr.

Cordier called the Pan-American conference a success, terming it the first time 19 of the South American republics have entered into a mutual agreement. Rev. George E. Francis, forum president and pastor of the Indiana Harbor Methodist church, presided.

L. Clark, noted University of Illi nois chemist, whose research ef forts contributed to commercial development of synthetic rubber, pre dicts that substitutes in America soon will be better than natural rubber. Starting his reseach in 1925, Clark set up a laboratory to X-ray rubber and study the molecules of which it is composed. He found that when rubber is stretched, some of the long twist ed molecules line up into crystals, and that this partial crystalhza which ends when the stretch is released, is a property that every substitute or synthetic rubber must have. He also found that the manner in which ordinary rubber stretches is different from that in which it returns to its previous shape.

Plotting the elongation against the extent of crystallization, he showed the stretching process as a smooth upswinging while -the un stretching" curve has a series of bumps like-a rocky hillside. In 1935, he learned that a mole eule of rubber weighs 500,000 times as much as a molecule of hydro gen, although all previous esti mates placed the weight at only 68.000 times. No molecules this large had ever been made by chemists. After his winding, they set out to make molecules of molecular weight up to 500,000, and when this was done, useful synthetic rubber became feasible. ATTENTIO WE RECREATION INDIANA HARBOR RAID DANGERS PHILADELPHIA.

OJ. Thirty animals in the Philadelphia zoo are listed for death if air raids over the city weaken or destroy their cages enough to permit escape. Crack shots among zoo at tendants are holding daily rifle practice in preparation for execution squad duties if the city is bombed. Zoo Director Freeman M. Shelby has drawn a list of animals re garded as dangerous in event of escape, and has assigned men to every vantage point in the zoo grounds with rifles.

He has posted the list of dangerous animals where guards see them daily and memorize the locations and types to be destroyed. Topping the list are the African buffaloes, quartered in the antelope house. The vicious horned beasts are to be killed on sight if they escape. The African elephant "Josephine" and the hippopota mus, are also on the death list. If bombs should wreck the lion house, only the maned wolf and the hyena are to be recaptured.

The cats are all to be killed on sight. All small cats, such as bob cats, lynx, ocelots, civets and gold en cats are to be destroyed. Gib bons and other animals in the small cat house are to be recap tured. All great apes, adult male ba boons, giant rhesus and Japanese macapues in the monkey house are to be come targets if they are freed. All bears are to be shot at sight The male gaur and male Indian water buffalo are to die if they escape the deer paddocks, and all foxes, wolves and wild dogs are on the execution chart Attempts will be made to capture snakes which escape during winter months.

Other orders will be drawn for warmer weather, Shelby said.
