7 Million Tires- But Not for You

The Economic Cooperation Administration purchased seven million tires from Marshall Plan countries for the U.S. stockpile. Car owners and tire dealers will not benefit as the rubber is slated for airplanes, Army trucks, jeeps, and other military equipment. The stockpile also draws in scarce items like sisal, industrial diamonds, bauxite, palm oil, graphite, platinum, sperm oil, and cryolite to bolster strategic reserves.
