Government Considers World War II Style Rubber Purchase Plan
Washington officials said the government weighs making the General Services Administration sole buyer of natural rubber to curb soaring prices. The move would not affect civilian supply and aims to remove private industry from the world market while synthetic rubber remains government controlled. The plan, backed by the National Production Authority, would offset a 30 percent natural rubber cut by increasing synthetic production and allocate 90 000 tons monthly to military and civilian uses.
