Sarah is one of the most women we know.- home in Asnevuw -"" ho tk care of much of Wer's congressional mail, bouse for her three cnuaren and entertained a continual stream of company. Way back when, during the first New Deal, the United States was taken off the gold standard, con gressional leaders thought no single commodity would ever be come such a subject of con troversy and take up so much space in the newspapers as that glittering metal. Now, during the first half of the year of our en trance into the war, the publicity surrounding certain strategic ma terials makes gold seem like a ham actor with an inferior press agent. Perhaps the most worried man over the rubber situation in the Tar Heel group is Representative Carl T. Durham, of Chapel Hill, a member of the Military Affairs subcommittee which has been in vestigating all sorts of strategic iii r materials over a year and a half. "Doc" Durham, as he was called by half the population of Chapel Hill when he managed a leading drug store there, has talked and warned and worried about rubber for months. Having an excellent background of laboratory knowl edge underwritten by his phar maceutical activities, "Doc" pre dicted early this year that it would be impossible to manufacture enough synthetic rubber to fill civilian and military demands be cause there was an additional shortage of tempered steel which must be used in the construction of synthetic rubber manufacturing plants, because of its chemical ac tion. After explaining just how this action takes place a discourse we could not follow too well, having had no chemistry in our lives since being exposed for a year in high school to a course in General Sci ence Mr. Durham summed up the whole situation in one sentence. "We are, so short of so many strategeic materials including raw materials, metals and chemicals that one shortage leads to another and bottlenecks the entire synthetic production." This being translated into our own lives means a definite tire shortage, as well as a lack of rub ber all the way down the linee. That's one reason why Mr. Dur ham has always advocated nation al gasoline rationing it will cut down on the use of rubber even in communities where oil runs more freely than water. Representative Robert L. Dough ton has commended the work of Bernard Baruch In investigating the rubber situation. "Mr. Baruch and his colleagues have the confidence of the people," Mr. Doughton said. "They have ended the scores of conflicting statement regarding the rubber situation that have plagued us congressmen from time to time." bi Press S.. Offic. one.. ha : ..,W the need he was appointed almost two years ago, it was learned today on re liable authority. The resignation is reported to have been accepted. No successor . has been named thus far. Edward Pauley, of California, secretary of the com mittee, is acting treasurer, and Miss Mae Oliver of Sanford and Raleigh, secretary to Mr. Rey nolds at the committee, continues as assistant treasurer. The mayor resigned as treasur er, it was learned, because he felt it would not be right to hold a strictly political position while he was in the nation's armed forces. He was commissioned a lieutenant senior grade in the navy late in the spring, spent eight weeks in basic training for the naval air corps at Quonset and then was promoted into the intelligence school, one of a class of 100 se lected for the honor. When the mayor entered the navy, the national committee an nounced he was taking a leave of absence. It is possible the post may be open and waiting for him should the war be of reasonably short duration. Mussolini's "Invincibles" have just scored another big victory in Yugoslavia. They shot down a large number of hostages and didn't lose a single man themselves. Baptists To Hold Promotion And Rally Day Program The double program of annual Promotion Day and Rally Day will be staged at the First Baptist Church Sunday morning, starting at 9:45. y : ' J The first fifteen minutes will be given over to departmental devo tions, and then all the Sunday School will assemble in the church auditorium 'or the special promo tion program, according to Earl Messer, general superintendent Special recognition will be given those whose work has been out standing during the year. Beginning at eleven o'clock, Tom Greening, a soldier from Camp Croft, will preach. He is from Canada, and the son of a Baptist minister. John Nyle Walker, of Memphis, also a soldier at Camp Croft, will sing a solo during the worship hour, which will be in charge of Rev, H. G. Hammett, pastor.

Senator Josiah W. Bailey dis closed that Henderson ,''does not say that he fixed the ceiling in order to prevent price inflation, but only for two purposes: first, ! to stabilize the market; Second, to enable Commodity Credit Corpor ation upon its request to purchase the better grades of tobacco witn- I out competition from other pur chasers, and therefore, at a lower . price. "He gives assurance that he will observe the CCC closely and if nec- iessary take the proper action," the Senator continued. "He also says that there will be a permanent regulation providing additional flexibility with a view to permit ting purchasers during the season to bid higher prices for the North Carolina and Virginia Old Belt grades of the higher type."
