gram, Mr. Brown asked for Sug-
gestions and criticism and said
that in a disaster there is no room
for selfishness, rushing and con-
fusion. He explained operations
at times of disaster should be sys-
tematic and stressed the import-
ance of placing small groups of
workers at wide ranges over the
county with the interlocking of
not only communities within the
county, but the county should
work in cooperation with the state
program
"Orange has always done its
part in the past and will do so to-
day and Orange wants as good a
Corps as any In the United

precious formula hod been stead-
fastly denied to American manu-
facturers almost without excep-
tion- ,.
Such a eostly wartime paradox
cuused Chairman Truman (D-Mo).
to exclaim "J think this ap-
proaches treason," and he culled
for further evidence to CWttrol
manufacture and sale of synthetic
rubber.
Trumsn, head of the senate de-
fense investigating committee,
said there was no doubt in lils
mind that the Nazis had made
prompt use of the American-dis-
covered process which Assistant
Attorney General Thurmon Ar-
nold said had been turned over by
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, Its originator, to the Hit-
ler - controlled I. G. Farbcnindu-
stgie before America entered the
War.
By this method, Arnold inform-
ed the committee, synthetic rub-
ber which was bfettcr and cheapef
than Ihc Germans' was made from
natural gasoline.
Truman raid that, because of
the delay in getting tha synthetic
rubber program started, there
was Utile hope that tires could bet
produced with It fOr ordinary cb
vlllan uses until early In 1943
He said Standard would tx> called
upon to produce 200,000 out ot
400,000 tons in the current pro-
gram just getting started, with
the remainder being manufactur-
ed by United States Rubber, Fife-,

Most of the production through-
1843 and I #44 would be for mili-
tary use, he said.
