Nebraska May Establish New Plastic Industries . . . Says Research Executive Because of the war, Nebraska has an opportunity to establish at least two great industries. Dr. Leo Christensen, research executive of the UN chemurgy project, de clared Wednesday in Omaha. Farm states like Nebraska, ac cording to the speaker, may fur nish the solution for the present limited supply of tajjioca starch, and rubber as well as black strap molasses, cordage and other com modities. Dr. Christensen said that scien tists have found that so-called "wax sorghums" yield a starch almost identical to the tapioca starch which is used for sizing paper and textiles and in the manufacture of adhesives. One of these sorghums is "Leota red," well known to Nebraska farmers who grew 200 thousand acres of it last year. The conversion of wheat and corn into synthetic rubber seems to hold promise of greatest speed and largest quantity, according to Dr. Christensen. Laboratory re search on the first stage has been completed, while the development of butaliene is still in the prelim inary study.
