Four Scientists Find Corn Makes Rubber Washington. — Representative Coffee said yesterday four chem istry re.search execuMva? had worked out a process by which they believe farm products can lupply the nation with all ■libber it normally ^eeds. Berkeley, Calif., Jan. 19.—On the alkali deser’s of six western states there are 500,000,000 ' pounds of natural rubber— enough to supply the United States for live mou'hs—ready for Immediate harvesting. University •of California scientists informed the government today, j Thb rubber, although no* quite as good as the prime product of the East Indies, is entirely satis factory, the experts reported. Most important, they said, is that it is already on hand and can be collected and made into tires, tubes and other finished products without undue effort. I It exists in the rabbit brush, a large perennial shrub which cov ers vast stretches of the west’s ' great open spaces. California. Nevada and Colorado have most ' of it but there are large tracts also in New Mexico, Utah. Idaho and perhaps ether states. The report was made by Dr. T. H. Ooodspeed. no'ed botanist, and Dr. H. R.

Dr. Christensen and McPher son told a House agriculture sub committee, Coffee .said, "that they could get 10 pounds of syn thetic rubber out of a bushel of wheat or corn or any agricul tural commodity with starch or sugar in it." He added: “One hundred and twenty mil lion hushefa of corn or wheat would produce 600,000 tons of rubber which is our normal an nual consumption. That would be about five per cent of the corn crop in the nation. "The rubber would be produc ed at a cost of 15 to 20 cents Y W A a pound, a little less than the ' cost of making rubber out of oil. | Now R«)n^ized Syn*hetic plants would have to! Wilke.sboro Y. W.

A tem porary change over to rabbit brush might be feasible. Dr. Goodspeed said it should be pos sible to produce rabbit brush rubber for about 45 cents a pound. The nominal price of East India rubber is around 22- 1-2 cents. -SOCTeTY-: Reds Drive West On the eastern front the Red Army drove relentlessly westward from captured Mozhaisk on the heels of a defeated German army I fleeing in a sub-zero blizzard.
