It seems a little late, but they are now facing the elementary question cof whether or not the tire companies can haadle the vast guantities u synthetic rubber. The greatest amount of rubber ever processed by the natien’s rub- ber companies in one year was 540,- 000 tons. But next year we shall have nearly one million tons to deal with. Obviously, the present fa- cilities will be inadequate But the problem is aggravated by the fact that tire manufacturing machinery has been knocked down and stored away so that rubber companies could convert to produc- tion for the war. Instead of tires, they have been making rubber hoats, ballons, tank treads, and life rafts. Thus we have the problem of finding new plant space in which to bring that machinery back into production, and the further prob- lem of creating eutirely new pro- than . Silkworm . Weakens . Aloft ).

Phillips is a tall youth with a mop of very bolnd hair. “The only thing that really bothered me,” he said, “was that I didn’t have a comb. | Look what I've been using for a 7ear.” He held up a broken piece of pink comb containing a few scat- tered teeth. It was back in June of 1842, shortly after the attack on Dutch Harbor, that Phillips and his part- rer. Staff Sgb. Clair Mackie, boch radio operators with the Alaska Communication System, together with occupation troops, took over a Pribilof island. Their job was to get the island on the air to serve as a listening post for possible invasion. They were brought in by ship and mmediately set up communications with neighboring Pribilof islands which were occupied in the same’ mnovement. “There was no life on the island when we landed,” Phillips said.
