your old rubber—and many will—we folks have lots of discarded rubber
will pass along the proceeds from goods lying around. Here’s your
that rubber to the USO or some other chance to get rid of yours and do

It was said that in one engage

NATIONAL DRIVE
This county-wide drive is a part
of the national campaign President
Roosevelt placed in charge of the
Petroleum industries and which is
being carried on by every service
station in the nation. The President
declared that if enough scrap rub
ber could be collected, it would be
unnecessary to order gasoline ra
tioning as a means of preserving
the rubber tires now available.
Among the oil company officials

Rubber to Keep Up
U.S. War Machine
(Continued from Page One)
Ickes and Chairman William R
Boyd, jr.. of the petroleum industry
war council, appealed for full coop
eration. Ickes said the “quickest and
surest way of brightening the rub
ber outlook is to get in every ounce
of scrap that can be found during
the two weeks’ campaign.’’
Sen. John Thomas, D.. Ida.,
charged in a statement that the
rubber program had been •’bungled"
by officials who "played into the
hands of supposedly friendly na
tions." He urged cooperation in the
scrap campaign as a way of pos
sibly avoiding nationwide rationing
of gasoline.
Truman blamed the now-defunct
office of production management
for failure to check civilian rubber
consumption. As chairman of the
special senate committee investigat
ing the war program which has
studied the rubber shortage, he said
“there is no sense in rationing gas
oline simply for the purpose of caus
ing someone to understand that
he must make sacrifices . . . Where
gasoline is plentiful, I believe it is
much more important to rigidly
enforce speed laws and to requre
regular inspection of cars so as to
prevent under-inflation of tires and
to assure that repairs are given to
tires when necessary.”

Carriers Replace
U. S. Battleships
WASHINGTON, June 16— (UP>—
Sen. Ralph O. Brewster, R„ Me.,
said today the navy has abandoned
plans to build five 60.000-ton super
battleships authorized by congress
and will expand its aircraft carrier
program instead.
“I understand that the 'navy has
stopped work on the five super
dreadnaughts,” he said.
Brewster, a member of the senate
naval affairs committee and of the
special senate committee investi
gating the war program, said he did
not know whether this meant that
the day of the battleship was past
hi the United States navy, but
that he hardly expected revival of
the program.
The five super-battleships, au
thorized in connection with the
two-ccean navy were to have been
the biggest and most powerful in
the world. One of them was to
have been named Maine none has
reached the stage of keel laying.
Brewster made his statement at
the house naval affairs committee
scheduled hearings on a new bill
by Chairman Carl Vinson, D.. Ga.,
authorizing construction of an ad
ditional 1.800.000 tons of naval ships.
The authorization includes 500.000

Brewster said he understood the <
navy’s decision to discontinue!
further building of super-battle-;
ships stemmed in part from the’
sinkings of Great Britain’s two cap-i
