Nation-Wide Rubber Hunt Enters
Second Week As Volume Soars
Farmer, factory worker and store
keeper alike were busily engaged in
hunting down old tires, handle grips
and garden hose as the first week of
the national rubber drive came to a
close today with officials hastily
computing the rising toll of scrap.
The weekend heralded many new
methods of collecting scrap which
have added to the soaring totals. Ac-
Pens ion Plant
Bhack, Or Hello
Dr. Townsend
WASHINGTON, June 20.-WP)--
Congress is being asked for action
now on old age pensions.
Members of the House have been
urged to sign a petition to force con-
sideration of a tax-for-pensions bill
(HR1036) described by Representa-
tive Hook (Dem.-Mich.) as offering
a solution of economic problems af-
ter the war.
Shelved by the House Ways and
Means Committee, the bill is a modi-
fied Townsend Plan calling for an
intricate revenue program intended
to raise funds with which to retire
eveyone 60 years old or over.rEli-
gibles would receive varying amounts
up to $200 a month.
Proponents contend that the tax
on gross incomes would net a vast
sum out of which there would be
surpluses with which gradually to
liquidate the national debt.
No Time To Delay
Hook told the House that this was
-no time to sidetrack economic and
social problems and suggested that
it was the duty of Congress to meet
the situation now provided such ac-
tion did not impede the war effort.
"We, as legislators, as parliament-
arians in a democracy," he said in a
speech to the House, "have the re-
sponsibility for making democracy
work and for making democracy se-
cure.
"During the past 20 years we have
seen the slow, but steady fadeaway
of parliamentary bodies ... the main
reason has been their failure to solve
the economic and social problems of
their peoples.
"Perhaps, if we, if Congress, if our
parliamentary, legislative body does
not use its powers to solve the social
and economic problems of our peo-
ple, this body, as parliamentary bod-
ies elsewhere, also may disappear.
"We still have an opportunity to
prove ourselves worthwhile and it is
imperative that we do so. Let us
unite to bring this pension bill on
the floor for discussion to settle some
bf our current problems and to pre-
pare for the peace to come.
Union Plans Meeting
For Staff Tryouts
There will be a meeting of try-
outs for the Michigan Union staff
at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Ter-
race Room of the Union.
At the meeting, Don West, '43E,
president of the Union, will outline
the summer program and tryouts will
be assigned to committees. Work on
the Orientation, Cooperative, Organ-
izational, Social and Publicity Com-
mittees offers training in officed ad-

'fense work.
4Ome
cording to reports from the state de-
fense council, at least 4,500,000
E pounds of old rubber have been col-
lected. This figure does not include
the large amounts which have been
amassing at gas stations throughout
r the states or the large shipments en-
route to collection depots. Earlier
in the week, officials of the Michigan
Council of Defense estimated that
8,000,000 pounds of rubber had been
turned in at Michigan gas stations in
the first three days of the drive.
Many communities were active in
adopting new collection schemes to
spark the drive to hoped for quotas.
A big 'all horse' parade took place
in Jackson and another was planned
in Dowagiac. Mason citizens were'
called by telephone operators and
given a message urging participation
in the drive. A canvass by oil com-
pagly trucks is planned.
The County Agricultural War
Board, through the township CDVO
chairmen, is directing the scavenger
hunt for rubber in rural parts of
Washtenaw County.

DESERT WAR . . . AND MEDICINE-Somewhere in the western desert, doctors and nurses of a New
Zealand unit operate in a tent hospital under lights intensified by the tins that bore gasoline to the fight-
ing forces. Some 50 New Zealand nurses have put in seven months in the hospital. Doctors have made
use of intravenous and spinal anesthetics in their desert operations and call it a revolutionary advance for
wartime. Weston ianes, Associated Press photograpl'er in Africa, made this picture.
