Senator Chavez Eyes Pingue Rubber as New Mexico Aid
Senator Chavez said engineers are testing a scheme to extract rubber from Pingue, hoping it could aid the nation and perhaps create a small New Mexico industry. He noted Pingue is dangerous to sheep and cattle, but rubber extraction might remove the plant from ranges while aiding stockmen, though cautioned that early tests are not a promise of use.

It alleges a growing numbness from neck to brain affecting all social ranks, cites Pearl Harbor warnings, Pacific war blunders, and calls out civilian officials, Congress, and rich taxpayers as similarly affected. The piece ends with a CCC camp tale about ossified leadership and misplaced directions.
