ITNE 0 1q4 1N 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- ministration, public relations and de- '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. Daly COmpositor, Walter P.
