But formaldehyde for-maldehyde is necessary in the production pro-duction of plastics to dissolve the woody material And plasticsl They are needed as substitutes for many essential metals. Fourth, copper sulphate. There is no need to comment when you con sider the part copper plays in war. When it comes to rubber, the farmer, like everybody else is af fected. The difference is that some farmers are going to be making rubber rub-ber the next few years. Out In California the climate pro duces the best Gayule plants. And there will be acres and acres of these plants cultivated. It takes some time but some are already growing. A two-year-old crop will produce 900 pounds of very good rubber per acre. The trouble is that you have to dig up the plant to get the latex it comes from the roots. Then, of course, there is synthetic rubber, but I am not allowed to reveal re-veal the figures, which are going to play a lot more important part than many of our enemies think in our victory production. There are also the big cultivated rubber plan tations in Brazil and Central Amer ica run by Ford and Goodyear, there is the wild rubber from the Amazon. And most important of all, there is the contribution that the most auto-minded auto-minded people in the world are going go-ing to have to make the privilege of not buying tires for America's 27,000,000 pleasure cars. The privilege of "not buying" is going to be extended. There will be no more gadgets and there will be a lot less money to buy even the necessities when we pay our share of the bill for building the greatest war machine in history. A machine so big and so destructive that per haps it will destroy war itself. Weather Information-' - ' And Broadcasting The highly interesting yearbook just issued by the department of ag riculture is devoted to climate and weather. It appears just when for the first time in American history it is worse than a crime to discuss the weather that is if you talk loud enough to be overheard by enemy ears. A few weeks ago the navy department de-partment released an official communique com-munique severely blaming a commentator com-mentator who mentioned the weather weath-er in Dakota. He gave out information informa-tion which the navy said may have been the cause of increased submarine subma-rine activity in the eastern Atlantic. In Washington we are not permitted permit-ted to mention even yesterday's weather on the air. This ruling seemed a bit far-fetched to me. In commenting on the fact to an official I told the story of what happened to me when I was broadcasting from Berlin just after the war broke out On a beautiful moonlight evening I Ruse even with all our sheep blandly announced over the short wave mm li was a une nigui iui an air raid." Nobody objected to that There had been no air raids, and the question had never been raised. But the next night it was different No more description of the current weather, I was told by the military censor "You can talk about last night's weather but not tonight's," he said. i I asked my Washington friend why, if Berlin let me talk about last night's weather I couldn't do the same thing here. "Weather," he answered, "moves from west to east Berlin's weather moved off where it didn't matter in 24 hours. Washington's weather moves right into the eastern Atlantic where knowledge of it might benefit raid ers." - . "Without disparaging in the least the huge metropolitan dailies, with circulations running into the hundreds hun-dreds of thousands and occasionally occasion-ally into the millions and I say they are the best daily newspapers in the' world it is to the weekly newspapers and the small-town daily newspapers that I, myself, turn for information, guidance and inspiration, especially in the case of problems and questions affecting the public welfare."

Washington, D. C. SCRAP IRON It may be that those who let mil lions of tons of scrap iron go to Japan are not too anxious to advertise adver-tise our present dearth of scrap, but the real fact is that It is so serious as to cause the shutdown of nine blast furnaces in Youngs- town, Ohio, alone. To meet the shortage, the OPM has been conducting an experimental experi-mental campaign to collect scrap iron in Erie, Pa., and is launching other campaigns in Boston, Pittsburgh, Pitts-burgh, Bridgeport and Akron. How ever, the campaign Is going very slowly. Chief trouble Is that col lections are made through the nor mal scrap iron trade. Therefore, it looks as if the Amer lean Dublic mleht " have to take things in hand. A survey of Butler county, Ohio, shows that every farmer has an average of about 5C pounds of usable scrap iron and rubber rusting or rotting behind his barn. On this basis, the OPM estimates that it should be possible to collect 1,500,000 tons of scrap from American farmers. Not many people realize the im portance which scrap plays in the iron and steel Industry. Ordinarily, steel is made 50 per cent from ore and 50 per cent from scrap iron. But today ordinary supplies of scrap iron are diminished, not only by previous sales to Japan but by the fact that war industries supply no scrap. Many tanks, guns, and mill tary motor trucks are shipped off to Egypt Malaya or Russia. They never come back. Ordinarily, industry indus-try supplies its own scrap iron from junked automobiles, etc. But now there will be fewer automobiles to Junk. So the scrap iron problem is one which will reauire every farmer and householder to look around be hind his barn or in his basement to see what he can spare for war in dustries. ; You can check off lead as the next strategic material to be put under interdict for civilian use. OPM's banning order will be issued shortly. short-ly. That will mean the end of lead foil and numerous other items of normal everyday use. One possible exception may be lead for automobile automo-bile batteries, but even that will be under severe restrictions. Reason tor the ban is inadequacy of domestic supply to meet the Increasing need for bullets. War production tables call for a lead con sumption of 60,000 tons monthly by June; 100,000 tons monthly by next January. For military reasons, figures fig-ures on U. S. supply can not be i disclosed, but it is below what is : needed even with production increases in-creases now under way plus imports from Canada, Mexico and other foreign for-eign sources. So civilian use will be restricted for the duration. WLW ICELAND The largest standard-wave broad casting apparatus in the u.a.A. owned by WLW Cincinnati may be set up in Iceland to drown out Hitler's Hit-ler's rasping broadcasts to the Ger man people. For many years WLW operated a 500,000 watt station in Cincinnati, but was forced by the Federal Com munications commission to reduce to 50,000 watts, which is the maximum for ordinary commercial stations in the U.S.A. Therefore, WLW has now offered Its big 500,000 watt set to the government to be established in Iceland. Ice-land. Since Hitler's stations are nowhere no-where near as strong as 500,000 watts, WLWs beams from Iceland could drown out his voice every time he went on the air. Furthermore, WLW Iceland would not operate on short wave, which the German people are not permitted to hear. It would operate on a standard broadcasting beam and would come in over the ordinary German radio. By turning a button hi the station in Iceland, the wavelength wave-length could be changed to cut in on any German program There is one catch to the proposal, however. WLW Cincinnati wants to make a deal with the government whereby it would be permitted to set up another 500,000 watt station in the United States in return for sending its equipment to Iceland. CAPITAL CHAFF Secretary of War Stimson has been shaking up some of his gen erals, and has put Gen. Raymond Lee temporarily in charge of mili tary intelligence. Lee was former U.

To make more office space in Washington, the Farm Credit ad ministration is being moved to Chi cago.
