Prospects for Tires Improve as Rubber Shift Occurs
Washington Dec 5 The first new tire casings to be released to civilians by the Army and Navy about 400000 will reach the market in a month. This boosts hopes for ending rationing around New Year’s and will be followed by surplus auto truck and tractor tires at a sizeable rate for some time. The War Assets Corporation says the government is stepping out of the rubber from alcohol business as low cost petroleum plants can meet demand for synthetic rubber. The three large plants costing 117 million dollars to use grain alcohol will be closed immediately on orders from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. New estimates of 300000 tons of natural rubber expected to reach the United States next year make restart of the alcohol plants unlikely. they will be kept in standby for emergency use, said G. B. Hadlock.
