Died. Don Tomas Garrido Canabal, 52, onetime Governor of Mexico's Tabasco State (1920-35); of cancer; in Los Angeles. As Governor, he issued rigid decrees against corsets and alcohol, outlawed tombstones, ordered priests to marry. Minister of Agriculture under Cardenas in 1935, he was shortly implicated in the machine-gunning of Tabascan students, who at tempted to return from Canabalistic deportation, subsequently exiled himself from Mexico...
...Alcohol. The present demand for grain alcohol is a great problem for chemurgists. Production in 1943 will amount to 530 million gallons, more than five times the prewar figure. With imports of molasses cut off by the lack of tankers, corn is the major source. The entire production would require 200 million bushels of corn a year. At that rate the Commodity Credit Corp. cannot long continue to supply the corn, and farmers want to use their excess stock to feed the 13 million increase in the U.S. pig population. Again munitions compete with food...
Turning to the 1¼-billion-bushel wheat surplus as a source of alcohol is no remedy now.

WPB is studying the possibility of making alcohol from waste wood and even from waste sulfite liquor from paper mills. Farmers are begging to be relieved of the alcohol and rubber burdens,* praying for petroleum rubber to make its appearance, a complete reversal of their insistence a year ago on being included...

...that its Baton Rouge, La. plant (capacity, 30,000 tons using petroleum-butadiene) had produced the fat, brownish synthetic rubber "loaves" 24 hours before its rival. U.S. Rubber claimed the pennant for its plant at Institute, W. Va., largest single unit in the world (capacity, 90,000 tons using alcohol-butadiene). Experts hinted that the U.S. Rubber plant was more complete, had used no handwork or improvised machinery to inch over the finish line. In Washington, Rubber Deputy Bradley Dewey said both companies had done a "superb job," called the race a dead heat...
