J. thought it was get- ting a great secret out of Germany, a secret withheld from U. S. rubber companies for several years. PATENT GUARDIAN On October 12, 1939, after the war started, Standard’s Frank Howard, the man who has flitted behind the scenes in the Washington rubber picture, wrote a letter telling how he had arranged with I. G. Farben in Holland to take over 2,000 foreign patents which the German firm held, and keep them until the war was over. The idea was to keep these patents from falling into the hands of an Alien Property Custod- ian. It was clear also that Standard was planning to protect I. G. Far- bens patents for it even though the | United States entered the fighting. For Frank Howard’s letter of Octo- ber 12, 1939, says that the safe- guarding of these German patents “would operate through the term of the war, whether or not the United States came in.” Now that Standard of N. J. has given these patents to the public by a consent decree, Washington offic- ialdom has not been too helpful in Jetting independent oil companies get the patent “know-how.” PL/ BY-PLAY The formula for one of these rub- ber processes is most important, and | any reputable oil company is sup- posed to have the right to it How- eevr, hereé is the actual experience of C. R. Starnes, President of the East Texas Petroleum Derivatives Company, who has been camping in Washington for several months try ing to get a chance to convert his | refinery to rubber production First, Starnes says, he applied to the Rubber Reserve Corporation, which Jesse Jones set up for the | financing and building of rubber | plants. But the Rubber Reserve referred him to the Lummus Com- pany, refining engineers and build- ers of rubber factories. Carl Reed, President of the Lummus Company, is in charge of a committee to con- | tribute technical material regarding the building vf rubber plants. The reply of the Lummas Com- pany was that Starnes should go back to the Rubber Reserve to -get the technical “knowhow.” So he went back to the Rubber Reserve. This time its answer was that he lon Institute and the Rubber Re- serve's chief chemical adviser. THE RUN-AROUND Weidlein’s reply, according to Starnes, was that no cne could se- cure Standard Oil's rubber patents until they had been placed on the list approved by the Committee of the Petroleum Industry. So Starnes then went to the Of- fice of Petroleum Coordinator, which replied: “We'll put you on the ap- proved list when we O. K. your plan.” But the catch in that is that it is difficult to draw up a plan until you know the secrets of the patented process and what mater- ials, etc., it calls for. And today, two months later, tenable for Japan the rich lands of the Indies. In one way, we supposc you could regard the new { equipment, | quality rubber for more vital pur- see Edward R. Weidlein of the Mel- | Starnes still has not been given the | secrets of the rubber process which | Standard Oil of New Jersey by a | consent decree said would be thrown | open to the public. other smaller and independent oil companies, anxious to produce rub- | ber. | Thus the run-around continues. Some of this run-around may be necessary. Obviously it is no easy ! job to build up a rubber industry overnight for the greatest rubber- consuming nation in the world. But even allowing for excusable mistakes and delays, it seems inconceivable that there should have been so| much stalling, so many failures to try out different patents, and such apparent diserimination in favor of different groups and different pat- | | ent pools. ‘ The history of synthetic rubber in the United States is not going to | be a pretty one.
