Nationwide Rationing Hinges On Rubber Survey
Washington June 9 Postponement of nationwide gasoline rationing depends on a comprehensive survey of scrap rubber. Senate leaders and Price Administrator Henderson indicated such a survey is under consideration before deciding to impose private car fuel rations. Estimates vary on scrap rubber potential, with figures from 700,000 to 10,000,000 tons discussed. Henderson projected about 300,000 tons reclaimed in 1942 and up to 6,000,000 tire caps from that amount. He expressed concern that conservation plans without a nationwide rationing program may be inadequate.
