WRIGHT PATMAN'S
WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
— CONGRESSMAN — TEXAS —nv

Wars-
Sentiment continues to change
daily on the war situation in Eu-
rope. Sixty days ago the people
who were asking me not to permit
our country to furnish credit to
the Allies or to permit them to ob-
tain war munitions and supplies
from our country are now insisting
that we give the Allies everything
^except man power. Anthony Eden
a speech from London a few days
^ o, made it clear that England and
Prance needed planes, tanks and
guns from America. Much more
equipment and supplies has been
furnished the Allies from this
country than has been known pub-
licly. At first planes were flown
to the Canadian border, pushed over
the line and then flown to England.
Now, they are flown across the bor
der to Canada and on to England,
making a short stop in Canada.
It seems to be the impression of
a large percentage of the people
that we should gladly place our
guns, planes and ammunitions into
the hands of the English and
French to oppose on who is cer-
tainly our enemy. Many people be-
lieve that this is the best way for
s to keep out of the war, since if
5. ler wins such a great victory, as
some believe he will possibly win
over France and England, that he
will not let the Atlantic Ocean stop
him. While I do not personally at
this time fear any invasion of our
country in the near future, I am
afraid that Hitler will take charge
of many of the South and Central
American countries. Reports con-
tinue to pour into Washington to
the effect that Hitler already has a
"Fifth Column" movement suffi-
ciently large in many South and
Central American countries and in
Mexico to easily seize control of
these governments when the time is
opportune.
Spies and Fifth Column:—
It was my privilege to make the
startling disclosure to the House of
Representatives that the United
States Government had a Lieuten-
ant Colonel in the Intelligence De-
partment, Carl Byoir, who was em-
ployed by Hitler to sell Nazism to
America soon after Hitler came in-
to power in Germany on January
30, 1933. This Lieutenant Colonel
is the Public Relations man for the
biggest business and industrial con
cerns in America. He has openly
boasted that he represents Ameri-
can industry with assets of four-
teen and one-half billion dollars.
Incidently, this is twice as much as
all the money in circulation in the
United States. Soon after he was
employed by Hitler in 1933, the
country commenced to be flooded
with Nazi propaganda and our war
plans which were carefully prepar-
ed twenty years ago after the other
war, soon fell into Hitler's hands
and tactics used by the German
Army were the tactics suggested
in our secret military plan, which
was supposed to be secret and care-
fully guarded in the War Depart-
ment.
My charges were based on sworn

testimony. In addition, the Nazis
were getting their spies into the
National Guard all over the coun-
try. The Communists were work-
ing hand in hand with them. In
fact, I see no difference between
Nazism, Facism and communism.
They# all are working to one end
and that is the destruction of any
democratic form of Government.
We should not forget the power
of a well organized minority. In
1917, the communists were defeat-
ed at the polls in Russia by a ma-
jority of five or six to one. How-
ever, less than ninety days after
this defeat, the communists, only
about 30,000, but they represented
an organized radical minority, seiz-
ed the government at St. Peters-
burg, now Leningrad, and thus seiz
ed the Government of 170,000,000
people, occupying an area of one-
sixth of the globe.
There are very serious times. I
hope the people in our district con-
tinue to keep me advised of their
wishes and suggestions.

Goodrich Reveals
New Rubber Product
NEW YORK—Using a new syn-
thetic, Ameripol, described as the
long-sought Liberty Rubber capa-
ble of replacing the natural pro-
duct, The B. F. Goodrich Company
has begun the manufacture for the
public of America's first passenger
car tire of domestic materials, John
L. Collyer, president, announced
here today.
In a series of revelations that
threw an entirely new light on the
nation's preparedness for any
emergency affecting natural rub-
ber supplies, Collyer made what
was characterized as the most im-
portant announcement from the
American rubber industry in the
last quarter century, to a gathering
of five hundred industrialists, mili-
tary experts, scientists and the
press at the Waldorf Astoria.
Collyer stressed three important
achievements of Goodrich research
and production, hitherto cloaked in
secrecy and which, he said, are now
made public because Goodrich "re-
cognized the responsibility which
which in many of its important pro-
perities is equal or superior to na-
tural rubber, and can be processed
and vulcanized like the natural pro-
duct. The material is an exclusive
Goodrich product which does not
infringe any existing patents, it
was stated. This Liberty Rubber
has been named by Goodrich, Ameri
pol, which signifies a polymer or
recombination of molecules of
American materials.
(2) Goodrich has had in operation
for more than a year and a half a
pilot plant producing Ameripol, and
it is now being made in a semi-com
mercial plant. A manufacturing
plant which will have a daily capa-
city of several tons of Ameripol is!
under construction, to be ready this j
fall. Additional units of the same
type, it was emphasized, can be con
structed to produce any required
amount.
(3) The new Goodrich tires use
Ameripol to replace natural rubber
in proportions varying from 50 to
100 per cent Mr. Collyer empha-
sized that if the industry were to I
replace with Ameripol the natural
rubber in the tire treads and side
walls alone, it would reduce by ap-
proximately one half America's con
sumption of the natural product.
"It is my personal opinion and
fervent prayer that our rubber sup
plies will not be interrupted," Mr.
Collyer said, "but rubber is too
vital a product for us to follow any
course but a safe one."

"Build-Up" Good News
For Suffering Women
Much of women's periodic dis-
tress may be unnecessary!
Many who suffer from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain, other
symptoms of functional dysmenor-
rhea due to malnutrition are helped
by CARDUI.
Main way it helps relieve periodic
distress is by increasing appetite
and flow of gastric juice. Thus it
. often aids digestion; help3 build
the national defense program places strength, energy, resistance to

upon all industry.
The three highlights of the dis-
closures were:
(1) The development by Good-
rich, working independently for the
past fourteen years, of a synthetic

Others find help for periodic dis-
comfort this way: Start a few days
before and take CARDUI until "the
time" has passed. Women have
used CARDUI more than 50 years.

KIDNEYS
MUST FLUSH OUT
EXCESS ACIDS
Year in and year out your kidneys are
taking nature's way to help your system
reduce excess acid and other waste prod-
ucts. Excess acid may result in an irrita-
tion in the bladder, causing a desire for
frequent urination; also getting up at
night and disturbing your rest. It may also
caune a pain in the bladder region which
may extend into the back and the lep:s.
Is it any wonder that as one gets old-
er kidneys sometimes need attention—that
they may need a little help, same as
bowels when they slow up or become irri-
tated as they sometimes do? Give them the
kind attention of a gentle diuretic-stimu-
lant increasing the flow of urine in liquid
form—and one on which many folks rely
is Warner's Compound, sold by druggists
for fifty years. Most druggists have it.
Help yourself with Warner's. Satisfaction
guaranteed or money back.

"Let me tell you how I
chose my second refrigerator!"
All refrigerators looked alike to the newlyweds. "Give us
the low-down," they asked friends. "Why did you replace yours
with the one that freezes with NO MOVING PARTS?"

isn't it? And I can tell yon, as one who's
had experience, that's reason enough to

no wear, tool"5

Ted Walsh points out. "That's all it
takes to do the work. Servel hasn't a
single moving part in its freezing system.
That's why you can depend on it to stay
quiet, efficient and economical"
