Alabama to enroll in the Northwestern University Summer session largest in the university's history. Now among the record-breaking number of 5.000 students in graduate and undergraduate schools are Wattie Thurston Cole, the trucking industry must either take steps itself to save its rubber or have steps taken by others for the industry. Describing rubber as "the most vital thing we have," he told his audience they must use it wisely and make it last.

The nation. he said, now suffers a 97 per cent, rubber import deficit. The synthetic rubber production, he said, has had to combine natural rubber and synthetic materials on a 50-50 basis, and it cannot have an annual output of more than 200.000 tons when all plants have been completed, compared with a domestic usage of 600.000 tons last year. H. M.

Fogarty, president of the club, presided. The City Commission was represented by Ralph Parker, assistant city attorney, who brought a message of welcome. Guests included County Commission President R. H. Wharton.

County Commissioner Earl Bruner, City Commissioner James W. Morgan, Lt. Gov. Designate Handy Ellis and W. E.

Duncan, of the Office of Defense Transportation. The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung by Mrs. Reuben A. The trucking industry has developed into the nation's most complete transportation service and the fate of the war effort rests in great part on its sturdy wheels. This, in substance, was the message brought to Alabama operators of contract carriers, common car-i riers and private motor carriers at a meeting Monday night at the Thomas Jefferson Lfotel, sponsored bv the Birmingham Motor Truck Club.

The speakers were L. A. Rauler-son. of Jacksonville. president of the Great Southern Trucking Company, and J.

Frank Rushton. until recently state tire rationing administrator. Describing the difficulties through which the trucking industry has come to arrive at its present state of significance to the nation in war and peacetime, Raulerson said that the industry was "born under oppression and has lived under persecution. Raulerson recently was a delegate to a meeting with War Department officials in Washington. Rushton told the truck men that New Tires Foreseen For Everybody Under Rubber Industry Plan Even Some For Pleasure Driving May Be Available, According To Proposal WASHINGTON (fP)- The rubber industry Tuesday proposed a plan which it said would provide usable tires for everybody for at least the next two years This became known in connection with an exhibit prepared by the industry in a Washington hotel to demonstrate to government officials and the press means of utilizing the industry's facilities to make as many tires as possible under war conditions.

The plan, it was learned from sources who declined to be quoted, would provide for rationing tires under an entirely new system, but would enable every one to get tires provided he took good care of his rubber. A feature of the program is that new tires would be made out of thiokol. a substance heretofore be- lieved to be usable only for recapping. Thiokol is a new substance something like rubber, for which ffie War Production Board has given a go-ahead on production for tire uses. A key point in the program, the sources added, would be some sys- 1 tern of severe penalties for motor- ists who waste rubber by exces- sive speed and long, unnecessary trips.

There would be three classes of rationing, with preference given to most essential needs, but with some tires provided even for pleasure driving. Seven Persons Killed As Slate Pile Explodes At Mine In Virginia OAKWOOD, Va Power shovels searched through tons of slate Tuesday for five of seven persons killed when a mammoth section of an abandoned gob pile, I torn off by exploding gases, toppled into a mining camp.

Estep's two other sons and two daughters, and Mrs. Theodore Crabtree At least six persons were hospitalized as the result of the Buchanan County coal field's unusual accident. An official of the Oakwood company attributed the blast to weather conditions which he said produced gas in the continuously burning slag. The blast let loose a mass of slag which blocked a creek, forming a small lake, and covered tracks of the Norfolk and Western Railroad. Mrs.

Frank Phillips, who was injured. said the slag pile let go with a dull roar, not so much noise, but it blew men and chil- dren off the porch and into the creek." Mrs. Ellen Wilson said she saw the slide start moving and she slammed the door of her cabin and threw her two children onto a bed just before their home was struck and shoved toward the strearrv Ten miles farther down the small rreek. the Page Coal and Coke Company reported its slag pile also had exploded, but there was i injury or property damage.

Japs Use Infiltration Tactics In China, Too CHUNGKING CP) The tactics of infiltration that worked so well jn Malaya and Burma are being used liberally by the Japanese in Chekiang and Kiangsi Provinces, a Chinese war correspondent reported Tuesday. Avoiding frontal assaults, the Japanese send out fast mobile columns armed chiefly with machine guns, the correspondent related, and aim their attacks at points known to be thinly defended. The success of these tactics depends largely on close coordination among land and air forces, scout work by spies and the use of fifth columnists familiar with trials and secondary roads.

The Mexican government has granted a concession for the construction of a railroad 280 miles long to connert the cities of Chia- pas and Oaxaca. Hospital and pill bills are bad enough, thinks L. E. Wilson, but this is too much! You see. Mr.

Wilson felt the roll of money $20 which reposed in his pajama pocket. It would help pay some of those bills, he thought comfortably as he dozed off to sleep. But when Patient Wilson woke up and felt for his money every dollar of the $20 had disappeared. And me a sick man, too, he complained to police. City Detective N.

ADD MORONS The first little moron had two horses and much to his worriment. he never could tell one from the other.

The WAAC officer-candidates were advised not to strike up close acquaintances with or date soldiers at the army post. During the next eight weeks the officer-candidates are just candidates, but if they make the grade and are commissioned. any friendships they have developed with non-commissioned men must be broken.

The army frowns on privates dating officers, and vice versa. Basic auxiliaries (privates) are not affected because (hey can date privates in the army now and as long as they retain their simple auxiliary rating.

That was one of several dating rules laid down to the army women in an orientation lecture Tuesday in which they learned some of the social rules that will govern their leisure time at the WAAC Training School at Ft. Des Moines. The ruling was. a blow to the girls who live here and for some time have been on the numerical short end of a social balance with the men.

At the first of the Summer. Mrs. Culp went to Mentone, and her husband started commuting spending all week in town, and going up to the mountains for the week-end. His idea of batching it was 1o sleep in a different bed each night until he used everyone in the house, and then to call in a maid to clean them all up again.

A couple of rounds from room to room and the program began to pall. Meanwhile, the Pete Woods were living in the Redmont Hotel of which Mr. Woods is manager. They liked it fine But there were the children to consider the children had never lived in a house. When the subject camp up between Woods and Culp.

Culp admitted he would really like to get back to sleeping in one and he same bed every night if he just had soneone to freshen it up during the day. So the two families swapped for the Summer. Now the Woods are Jiving at 2820 Surrey Road and the children are getting used to a house for a change. They're learning to raid the ice box and seeing what it means to help with the chores on cook's night off. Of course the first day or two the youngest boy couldn't find his mother easily enough to suit him not being used to houses with two stories and no elevators.

And now Bill Culp is living at the hotel, comfortable and cool in a well-kept room wilh no household cares to wrinkle his bachelor brow. BRAVERY TWO KINDS Two Birmingham girls came up against real adventure that could have meant a very ugly death for one of them but for the quickness of one and the courage of both. Not long ago. at a Girl Reserve conference over at Camp Alexander Stephens in Georgia, Helen Hassler. 16.

an Ensley High School student and a first class Girl Scout, was strolling down a woodland path with another of the campers, a Florida girl. Suddenly just ahead, they heard a scream. Rushing down the path, they discovered Betty Estes, a Shades Cahaba High School girl, and at Bettys feet an irate cottonmouth mocassin. Snake bite. And poison of a cotton-mouth mocca- sin can mean death within an hour.

Helen turned to run for help, but meet ing an-other girl along the path, she sent her back to camp and went back to Betty. There, just above the rim of her low-cut moccasins, were the two sinister little holes where the venomous fangs had pricked. Calling on her first aid course, which she had taken in senior service scouting. Helen made a tourniquet and then looked around for implements. A pair of nail scissors was the only instrument they had with them, and they were dull.

Then, by good fortune, the Florida girl found an old razor blade rusty, but sharp. The two girls sliced the necessary criss-cross and sucked to draw the venum from the sting. They made a makeshift stretcher with a blanket and carried Betty bark to camp. When the doctor was able to get there some 45 minutes la'pr. he found the situation well in hand, bathed the wound in alcohol, and later administered the serum.

Decision lo cut Betty's foot with the rusted blade even though they were unable to sterilize it had been the only right one for the girls to make, he said.

said Tuesday he would welcome any impartial investigation of his recent, actions against the use of amateur" and recorded music on the networks, which he termed an effort to obtain more work for uion musicians. Petrilio said about 60 per cent of the union's 138.000 members were out of work and the use of canned music" on the radio and in juke boxes contributed to this unemployment. Chairman James L. Fly. of the Federal Communications Commission, criticized in Washington Monday Petrillo's recent action in preventing high school musicians from broadcasting from Interlochen.

and said Petrillo's ban on recorded music would drive the great majority of small and independent stations out of business. Fly said he had recommended that the coommission make a factual study of the situation and examine the legal aspects of possible commission action. Petrilio said of the Interlochen dispute Too many peoplp are talking about it. Too many people know more about it than we do. So we'll let them settle it.

It's all right to be patriotic, but when a man has played his violin for 30 years and cannot make a dollar it is time to fight.

Many still are dying, he said, because the Germans and Italians have refused for four months to agree on distribution of wheat shipments from Canada to Greece. Some food has reacneo Greece from Turkey and the Middle East. Tsouderos also said Bri'ain had handed over four restroyers. four corvettes and two other warships to the Greeks for use in the Mediterranean and other waters.

Meanwhile Dingle M. Foot, parliamentary secretary for the ministry of economic warfare, told the House of Commons that the worst food conditions in German-controlled Europe continue to prevail in Greece, some parts of Poland and Occupied Russia. There is also a shortage of food in Belgium, and the Belgian government in London has been allowed to make purchases in countries inside the blockade zone, such as Portugal, to send to the occupied territory.
