World War II cartoon shows Rubber Production Board Head William M. Jeffers holding a flag with the word "Rayon," in a prison cell, sternly confronting four senators (Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi, Kenneth McKellar and Arthur Thomas Stewart of Tennessee, and Ellison Smith of South Carolina) who are crouched at his feet. The cartoonist alludes to the Biblical story of Daniel who cowed the lions when he was thrust into their den. In a tumultous hearing on October 12, 1942, Jeffers told a hostile Senate Agricultural Committee made up primarily of Senators from the cotton states, that if the Army preferred tires made of rayon rather than cotton, that is what they would get. Newspaper accounts noted that it had been years since a government official had defied a congressional committee in this way.
Probably published in: The Evening star (Washington, D.C.).
