...Germans realized that butadiene could be obtained far more cheaply from petroleum than from coal. So, hard up for oil, they exchanged their patents for others to Standard Oil of New Jersey, which licensed them in turn to several U.S. rubber processors. Chemists of the U.S. Rubber Co. discovered that polymerization of butadiene was easier when it was emulsified in soapy water and converted by pressure into a milky, latex-like dispersion. This method is now used in Germany. Goodrich's Ameripol rubber is made by a similar emulsion process...
Before last week not a single U.S. aircraft plant was operating around the clock. Some, like New Jersey's Brewster Aeronautical (while shifting models) actually had been laying off hundreds of men. But OPM's order changed all that. California's Douglas Aircraft (two-and four-engined bombers) began changing from a five-to a six-day week. At Ypsilanti, Mich.

Charges of racketeering were frequently hurled at him, never stuck. He was named as a suspect in the shooting and killing of a New York labor leader who defied him. (The case was never brought to trial.) Last year, when David Dubinsky tried to force an anti-racketeering resolution through an A.F. of L. convention, Mr. Fay was said to have slugged him.
