Undersecretary of War Patterson announced a plan to boost rubber in cloth and equipment by 25 percent. He said tires would have 12 percent Beas rubber, tanks use one third less rubber, Army vehicles get one spare tire, and soldiers would wear rubber raincoats. Civilian rubber use would not be available until 1944 at the earliest. Filling operators reported adults refused the penny per pound and weighing scales were lacking at stations.
