War Production Board halts rubber tube program
The War Production Board cancelled an pen program for rubber tube manufacture due to reduced Allied demand. About 17 million dollars worth of projects were cut back or halted while in late stages, with rubber tubes and inflating casings among the affected items. Deputy Director James Sears cited lower orders and potential plant efficiency gains through new processing methods as factors.
