Senate agriculture subcommittee supporters of farm crop rubber say the Baruch committee did not meet the issue squarely and do not seek to override Roosevelt's veto of a bill for a separate rubber agency. They argue the bill would extend the program to include agricultural products in butadiene production and criticize the Baruch panel for freezing current synthetic rubber plans. The debate centers on integrating agricultural resources into rubber manufacture and the veto's impact on wartime production.
