KEEMLE United rm Staff Correspondent The liberation of Malaya and the Dutch East Indies is due to restore rubber, tin and other commodities com-modities to the world . market shortly and have an important effect ef-fect in reviving - International trade. . -The subject has a direct bearing on the stability of -the postwar world as direct as the weighty political negotiations which -are be ins 'conducted in London and elsewhere. ' An interesting development comes from London, where, Sir John Hay, director of the London Rubber Growers association, has outlined a government-approved project for early rehabilitation of the rubber industry in Maiaya. Sir John told Harold Guard, of the United Press, that the freeing of Malaya provides oneof the nest single means by which Brit ain't dollar crisis with the United States could be eased, and also an effective contribution to reduction of Britaln's-trade debts. i He suggested tnat the facts are not generally appreciated ana urged swift government action to nut into effect a plan devised by .the Rubber Growers association and the Rubber Estate Owners Co. Ltd. for restoring the industry for the betterment of Britain's eco nomic status. While Sir John spoke only1 for the rubber plan. It appeared prob able that something similar might be proposed for tin. Sir John said that in "good years' before the war, Malaya's exports of tin and rubber exceeded the total of all domestic exports from the United Kingdom to the United States. In addition, Malaya's exports to the United States almost equalled the United Kingdom's purchases from the United States. "Reports being received from Malaya are encouraging," he said, "and the rubber industry believes Malaya's economy can be restored swiftly. The rubber industry has devised its own scheme for rehabilitation re-habilitation and has undertaken all the financial risks involved.' The plan, which Sir John said has received colonial office ap proval and support, provides that estate owners controlling not less than 100,000 planted acres in all will be grouped Into divisions of 10,000 planted acres. Each group will have a separate committee and the chairman will be a member of a local board en trusted with all local administration administra-tion in Malaya. The government will assume responsibility for all small holders under 100 acres. The plan looks forward eventually to the government acting as buyer for all rubber through an appoint ed buying unit in Malaya. Exchange Necessary The above is evidently a pri -vately-inspired scheme by inter ests which are looking after their own investments. It has not been publicly mentioned during the British-American economic and Labor Secretary ' Continued from Page One) stoppages that would interfere with reconversion of the automo bile industry. He said Edgar L. Warren, 40, new head of the labor depart ment's conciliation service, would explore the situation and, if nee essary, make a trip to Detroit to see if there were enough men there to do the job. Schwellenbach will continue to certify cases to the WLB. He will not interfere with board decisions deci-sions or attempt to enforce them, leaving that to Snyder. He is opposed to compulsory- arbitra tion and the seizure of plants, the most common wartime method to end strikes, V Schwellenbach' said that he will not set up procedures to force people to operate their plants or work in them. He said he expected the labor-management conference beginning Nov. 5 to work out . voluntary methods for settling settl-ing peacetime labor disputes. dis-putes. The reorganization did not give Schwellenbach control over either the fair employment pfae tice committee or the national labor relations board, although that may come later. He also ex pects to get in the veterans bureau, bu-reau, labor relations section of the state department unemploy ment compensation and appren tice training from WMC And la bor divisions of the army, navy, war production board and maritime mari-time commission.

Yet It is evident that the British Jhave something tangible to offer, if the new labor government! wants to take advantage of it. ; - Former '.President Herbert Hoover in his Chicago address on Monday pointed out that the United States is self-contained to a certain extent and cannot import im-port or export too much without upsetting its balance and causing domestic unemployment Nevertheless, Mr. Hoover favored favor-ed an exchange of surpluses such as American wheat for British or Dutch rubber and tin. Carrying the idea a step farther, there seems no valid reason why the exchange must be limited to barter. The United States wants tin and natural rubber In quantity. The British need dollars to steady their currency and relieve the pressure on the sterling block. American manufacturers and consumers con-sumers are willing ta pay cash. There 'appears to be room for a mutually satisfactory agreement Child Beaten To Death by Father TACOMA. Wash., Sept. 19 (U.R) Joseph B. Wessel, lumber mill worker, was charged with first degree murder after his 5-year old daughter Mary Ann died at Tacoma general hospital last night from blows received in a vicious hammer beating. Prosecutor Thor G. Tollefson accused Wessel of fatally beating Mary Ann hi a hammer attack on his estranged wife and family Mrs, Wessel, mother of four chil dren. still was in serious con dition. Tollefson revealed that at the time of yesterday's beating Wes sel was free on $1,000 bond for similar hammer attack on his wife in June which necessitated) a delicate operation to remove a sliver of skull bone from her brain. In reply to criticism that Wes-sel. Wes-sel. who faced a heavy penitent!' ary sentence on the original first degree assault charge, should not have been at liberty, Tollefson. explained Mrs. Wessel had agreed to releasing her husband on bail. Two other 'Wessel children, Lorrain. 17. and Dorothy, 14, re ceived bruises when their father burst into their home while the family slept. Their 11 -year-old brother Richard escaped injury. Flight (Can tinned from Page One) took off with 10,000 gallons ex periencing no trouble." Giles said that while the planes were flying off the tip of Kam ehatka. three Russian P-63's flew alongside and "performed . aero catics." The flight, moving along at 20, 000 feet, met unpredlcted head winds on the first 1,000 miles of the journey but Giles said the weather man "changed it to tail winds when told he would be thrown overboard unless he did something about it" Giles also asked army officials to notify Mrs. Clyde A. Smith of Fairbanks that her husband, a captain ' and a member of the crew, was passing over her home but that he was "sorry, he can't drop In." Mrs. Smith was "Miss Fairbanks" in 1941. , White Horse is the half-way point from the standpont of mileage mile-age but not flying time.. The planes were expected to make better speed on the second -half of the trip because of a steadily diminishing gas load. The mileage from the takeoff point Muzatani airfield on Hok kaido, northermost of the Japa nese main islands to Washing ton is ,6,509 by way of the Nome-Fairbanks-Yukon point followed by. the planes. An alternate south era route, which would have stretched it to 6,762 miles, had been prepared in case bad weath er was met The longest non-stop flight now on record 6,235 miles was made by three Russian airmen from Moscow to San Jacinto, Calif., in July of 1937. The B-29's left Japanese soil within 19 minutes of each other beginning at 4:01 p. m. yesterday. Aboard and In command of the lead plane was Lt Gen. Barney M. Giles, deputy commander1 of the U.

Their flight crews were com posed of veterans of the B-29 campaign against the Japanese homeland who are eligible either for discharge or extended fur loughs at home.

Reed, a Roosevelt nominee, probably will vote often together. Labor opposition to Burton is expected partly on the basis of some of his votes since he entered the senate in January, 1941. but primarily because he was one of the authors of abill introduced last June to amend -the national labor relations act Organized labor la-bor and left wing criticism of the proposed amendments 'has been bitter. Burton is a middle-of-the -road Republican.
