Synthetic Rubber Program Extended To Guard Against Loss
The Senate unanimously approved a two year extension of the government's synthetic rubber program warning that Communist capture of the world rubber supply is not impossible. The measure sails to the House which already passed a three year extension. A conference committee is expected to reconcile differences. The same session approved a three year 135 million dollar program to build armories and facilities to train the national guard and reserves. Both measures are on the must list before adjournment. The rubber program extension comes after noting Southeast Asia supplies most natural rubber and faces harassment from Communist inspired forces. During World War II the government spent about 700 million dollars.
