Y.—The days when cotton canvas sails reigned supreme on U. S. Navy vessels may not be ooming back, but cotton canvas defi nitely is coming into increasing de mand for the two-ocean navy now taking shape in American shi'pyards. Ifi the huge sail loft sc the Brook lyn Navy Yards, hundreds of work ers' are hard at it in “round the clock" Shifts turning out cotton flags, can vas gun boots and covers for delicate instruments. More than 3,000 flags are being completed each week. These include not only the U. S. Naval Ensign and the British Union Jack but hundreds of sets of signal flags with Which every craft must be equipped. The canvas gun boots now being made in large quantities, are so constructed that no smoke, or gas can leak through a turret aperture to affect the men inside. Covers for navigating instruments are made to exact proportion to give protection against stormy weather encountered at sea. Despite concentration on essential products, the sail loft is still turning out large quantities of towels, table cloths, bed covers and curtains needed by the navy. During the past year the Brooklyn Navy Yards consumed 4,100,000 yands of cotton and wool, and 190,000 square feet of linoleum for cabin fittings alone.

New York, N. Y„ Sept. 29—The ability of American defense industry to even up the eight-year head start of the nazis is borne out by a report last week on the progress of this country’s new synthetic rubber in dustry. Comparison in this field is especial ly pertinent, for in Germany necessi ty has driven government-subsidized research and production of synthetic rubber at high speed for many years. It was only last year that the first American made synthetic rubber tires reached the open market—B. F. Goodrich’s Ameripol. Yet under a *2,750,000 contract announced last week by the Defense Plant Corpora tion, a single American company will soon have a synthetic rubber capacity almost equal to German’s at the start of the war. It is the Hycar Chemical company, which was organ ized 13 months ago by the pioneer rubber firm and Phillips Petroleum company to make synthetic rubber from the petroleum gas, butadiene. By the end of next year, Hycar ex pects to be producing man-made rub ber at the rate of 17,000 tons a year. The Department of Commerce esti mates that Germany was producing 20 thousand tons a year in 1939. Hy car output will be- ten times that of the whole United States last year.

BEST OUTLOOK IN MANY YEARS NOW FOR FARMER | Washington. Oct. 5.—In its most recent surcey of the agriculture de- 1 partment said today that the farmer faced the best economic outlook in many years. Chief causes are the billions of dollars of purchasing power resulting from the expanding defense program, high levels of prices and incomes, and the earmarking, more than *1,000,- 000 of food products for Great Bri tain, The department’s economists fore cast a “continuing good demand for farm products, increased government buying of food and government loans and other supports to prices” in the year ahead. Instead of asking producers to plant and market less, federal farm officials for the first time since the last World war are urging farmers to produce all they can of milk, eggs, meats, cheese, vegetables and other prime foods to meet increased de mands here and in England. As a result: Cattlemen and hog producers are urged to increase marketing. Income of cotton producers may ex ceed 81,000,000,000 for the first time since 1929. Poultry production in 1941 may top all records with prices at good levels. The outlook for fruit and vegetable growers is the best in a decade or longer. Fall harvests assure ample feed needed for vast production of live stock and dairy products. Offsetting this picture somewhat were rising costs of production wages and materials. This tends to reduce farm profits and lessen purchasing power of agriculture. Huge surpluses of wheat and cot ton still are worrying some officials. They say that despite good prices there is enough wheat on hand for two years. Cotton exports still are at lowest levels since the Civil war and more than 10,000,000 bales are stacked up in government ware houses. Senator Smith Writing Book On Relationships In Capital Washington, Oct. 4.—The Senator Ellison D. (Cotton Ed) Smith of South Carolina, is going to tell all. He’s writing a book about intimate relationships with Washington great during his thirty-two years in the senate. “Yes, my book’s going to be a hum dinger,” he told; reporters, disclosing for the first time that he is in the midst of its preparation. "It’s almost finished,” he continued. “Just a couple of more chapters, then I will have it brought up to the pres ent date.” Smith promised it would contain glimpses of senate “cloakroom” legis lation and other behind-the-scene ac tivities, including intimate . White House conferences. He hinted of one White House con ference his book will uncloak—one Smith had in the early days of his career with President William How ard Taft. “He was a great American,” the veteran South Carolina Democrat said. Smith called on Taft, and while he was with the president a group of South Carolina Republicans were ad- j mitted. Taft apologized and asked Smith to stand aside a minute. The Republicans wanted a mem ber of their party named to fill a fed eral judgeship vacancy in South Caro lina. “No,” Taft said, “I am not going to name a Republican to the bench in South Carolina which is homogen ously Democratic. There would be no respect for the judiciary.” When the Republicans left, Taft called to Smith and said: “Senator you are going to fill that vacancy. Will you submit a list of names to me.” Smith also revealed the book would shatter the illusion of "Silent Cal” Coolidge, President Harding’s succes sor. “Why, when you got to know him he would chatter like a magpie,” he said. “I have seen the whole thing change in my thirty-two years in the senate,” he said of the present gov ernment. “Yet some say of a vereran of all these years—eliminate him!” Smith said he was angling for a publisher for his book, but felt sure there would be no trouble. “Just wait until it is finished,” he exclaimed.
