Saturday And Sunday Set'
For Nation-Wide Scrap
Rubber Treasure-Hunt
WASHINOTON, June 19.-41-A
New talks of buying up tires from
owners of "non-essential" automo-
biles was heard in the capital today,
while officials sought to step up the
nation-wide scrap rubber drive with
week-end "treasure hunts."
Wendell Lund, Director of WPB's
Labor Production Division, told a
special House Committee studying
means of getting workers to war
plants:
"Tires on non-essential private
automobiles must .be purchased by
the government and allocated to war
workers who are cooperating fully
in carrying full loads of workers."
The Petroleum Industry War
Council, which has charge of the
scrap rubber collection, sand it had
"set Saturday and Sunday, when
most Americans will be at home, for
a nation-wide week end treasure
hunt .of every attic, cellar, bin, and
shed for unused and scrap particles
of rubber.
"Rubber brought to light in the,
treasure hunt may be dropped off at
a local service station on the way to
church Sunday morning or on the
way to work Monday," the council
said.

Interned Correspondent
Thiks Bombing Raids
Not EnoughTo Win
Home from two war-torn years in
Europe, Clinton B. "Pat" Conger,
United Press correspondent and a
former Daily editor, settled down to-
day to pick up-via home cooking-
the 60 pounds he .lost while interned
for 150 days in a Nazi camp for
American diplomats and press repre-
sentatives.
Son of the late S. Beach Conger, II,
foreign correspondent for 30 years,
and brother of S. Beach Conger, III,
who was expelled from Germany in
1939 for intimating dissension in the
Nazi high command, Pat has spent
the past two years shuttling back
and forth across the war newsfronts
of Europe.
Rotund Pat Conger left Ann Arbor
in February, 1940, for Oslo,. his first
stop. He weighed 215 pounds. When
he arrived back in New York June 1
on the Swedish diplomat ship, Drott-
ningholm, he weighed but 155
pounds. He says he is skinny.
Reduced 'Without Effort'
He had reduced his figure with-
out the slightest effort while stay-
ing with other newsmen at the
Grand Hotel in Bad Nauheim, in
Germany's Rhineland area.
"They just didn't give us enough
food," Conger explains, "but I was
luckier than most of the men-I went
in with a good reserve."
Before America's entrance into the
war, foreign newsmen got double
ration cards, but in the internment
camp-eight days after Pearl Har-
bor-they were cut to one card, the
same ration as for every German.
"The Germans could live on it,"
Conger said, "but they had been.
training down on reduced rations
for eight years and they just tried
to train us down too fast."
"An appeal to the American charge
d'affaires increased the rations to
one and one-half, which helped, but
the meals were still pretty thin. A
lot of the fellows were . sick, and
many of them got bad teeth."
Coffee Was Money
Before his internment, Conger
found that a cupful of coffee beans
was just about the most valuable
unit of exchange in Nazi Germany.
"I bribed a tobacconist with one-
eighth of a pound of raw coffee
beans and got a pack of 25 cigarettes
every day for two and one-half
months."
The interned newsmen set up a
university of their own in the camp
and for nearly half a year they con-
ducted 40 courses for each other.
"We offered everything from
bridge lessons to a course on aesthet-
ic Indian dancing. I was a bridge
instructor, but it wasn't too long be-
fore we dropped Culbertson in favor
of poker bridge."
British Bombing Of Berlin Light
A veteran of 40 air raids and more
than 80 alerts, Conger only once took
to shelter.
Second Dance To Be
Tonight From 9To
Held
12
The summer social season will
swing into its second evening at the
League tonight with Gordon Hardy,
His Piano and His Orchestra play-
ing in the ballroom from 9 p.m. to
midnight for the second of the sem-
ester's weekend dances.
It is emphasized by the Social di-
rector, speaking for the League Coun-
cil, that these dances are being held
for all the students on campus dur-
ing the summer term. Any stu-
dent, man or coed, may attend whe-
ther with a date or alone.
This plan has been used by the
League with success throughout a
number of eight week sessions in the
past and this year has been ex-
tended for the benefit of the stu-
dents of the new full summer sem-
ester. The dances may serve as a
means of getting acquainted for the
summer population which features
that now famous ratio of five to one.

"The anti-aircraft guns weren't
bad, but the whistling of dud AA
shells drove us to cover. The duds,
which fail to go off in the air (at
about 10,000 feet) fall to the ground
and explode on contact. They did
more damage to Berlin than did the
RAF."
It's wishful thinking in Conger's
opinion, to believe that 1,000 bombers
a night can bend Germany to her
knees in short order.
"War industries are being moved
with great speed to the East and
South and the bomb-smashed Ruhr
plants just aren't being rebuilt.
"The Russian war is extremely
popular throughout all of Europe.
Remember, even the anti-Nazi Ger-
mans would prefer to live under Nazi
rule than under the Communists.

on June 5, 1940, when he failed to
attempt an invasion of Britain after
his armies had broken France and
routed the -BEF at Dunkirk.
Second front? Conger thinks the
west wall of the Seigfried Line is vir-
tually impregnable and looks for pos-
sible action through Norway to join
Russian troops at Murmansk, or
through the invasion and use of
Italy as a bombing base to hit South
German industrial centers.

Conger is anxious to be re-assigned

he doesn't know what to do with his
pre-Nazi diet suits. As Pat said,
"They're so baggy on me that I
could have smuggled another person

Ben Hogan's Amazing 62
ASnares Second Honors
In Par-Biiting Parade
CHICAGO, June 19. -UP5- Mike
Turnesa proved to the golfing world
today he isn't traveling on the fam-
ily name of his six famous brothers
-in particular Willie, the 1938 Na-
tional Amateur champion, and Ser-
geant Jimmie, runner-up for the 1942
P.G.A. title.
The 33-year-old Michael from
White Plains, N.Y., wllo never before
came close to winning a major tour-
nament, carved a 66, six under par,
today to snatch the lead at the half-
way mark of the Hale America Na-
tional Open Tournament over the
links of the Ridgemoor Country Club.
Turnesa's 66, coupled with his 65I
yesterday, gave him a 36-hole total
of 131-13 under par for the two
rounids.
Turnesa met the challenge of tiny
Ben Hogan, the Texas born star from
Hershey, Pa., who shot 62. He
smashed the course record of 65 es-
tablished five years ago and tied yes-
terday by Turnesa and Otey Cris-
man, little-known pro from Selma,
Ala. However, Hogan still was three
strokes behind Turnesa.
Back of Turnesa and Hogan was a
quartet composed of Horton Smith,
Pinehurst. N.C.; veteran Lawson Lit-
tle of Monterey, Calif., the 1940 open
champion; Herman Barron, pro from
White Plains, N.Y., and Jimmy Dem-
aret. Smith and Little had 36-hole
totals of 135 while Barron and Dem-
aret stood at 136. The six leaders'
combined score was 57 strokes under
Ridgemoor's 36-36-72 par.
Turnesa, in overcoming Hogan's
challenge, murdered the four par 5
holes, getting two eagles and two
birdies-a total of 14 shots against
a par 20.
Restriction Plan
Fails To Stop
All Star Game
WASHINGTON, June 19. -(W}-
A Navy official said today that the
new policy restricting activities of
Naval,, Marine and Coast Guard
would not interfere with an all star
baseball game at Cleveland July 7.
The policy, announced yesterday,
puts j 48-hour limit on the length
of time that Navy and Coast Guard
sports teams may be absent from
their normal stations. The only ex-
ceptions to this rule will be those
authorizedi by the Bureau of/ Naval
Personnel here.
In the case of the scheduled game
between'star baseball players in the
Army and Navy and a team composed
of big league players still in civilian
life, it was said, only four men now
in Naval service will require special
permission to play in Cleveland.

or failure of the one-week alumin-
um campaign last July. Finally,
what amounted to an official in-
vestigation was undertaken and a
complete statistical report prepared.
The report, it was understood,
showed that a total of about 11,200,-
000 pounds of aluminum and other
scrap were collected-compared with
20,000,000 pounds which had been
predicted. Of this scrap, only 6,400,-
000 pounds was in the form of alum-
inum, contrasted with a,15,000,000-
pound forecast,
La Guardia Scored
Of the scrap obtained, about 5,700,-
000 pounds of aluminum ingot actu-
ally has been sold to the RFC Metals
Reserve Co. for resale to war indus-
tries and use in war production.
Informed officials said delays in
shipping the collected pots and pans
to concentration points had extended
'until January of this year-in Maine
-and that final shipments of scrap
material were not made to aluminum
smelters until late in April. Fur-
ther, an official report declared,

WPB officials have made no secret
of their criticism of Mayor F. H.
La Guardia, of New York, then direc-
tor of the Office of Civilian Defense
which handled the- pots-and-pans
campaign, for eliminating junk deal-
ers as intermediaries in the alum-
inum salvaging. Other causes in-
cluded a lack of adequate transporta-
tion facilities, failure of local offi-
cials to take responsibility for load-
ing the scrap, failure of local chair-
men to notify WPB when their col-
lections were completed, and the
delay in smelting.
New England Leads
New England states made the best
showing, the final tabulation showed,
States showing worst returns were
Mississippi, Georgia and South Caro-
lina. For total collections, Pennsyl-
vania led with 898,058 pounds, New
York was second with 895,579, and
Massachusetts third with 735,735.
New aluminum plants to be con-
structed by early 1943 are expected
to avert any dangerous shortage in
the months to come. Secretary of
Commerce Jesse Jones told a Senate
committee on May 9 that production
has reached a billion pounds an-
nually as compared with 540 million
pounds last year and that he hoped
for a three-billion-pound capacity
in 1943.
