Wallace says postwar synthetic rubber policy tied to tariff decisions
Vice President Wallace told the Associated Press the fate of continuing synthetic rubber production after the war depends on price competition with tariff-free natural rubber. He backed Senator Vandenberg that Congress must decide whether plants now under construction stay open, urging tariffs only if needed to protect synthetic output. He stressed no prejudice against synthetic rubber and focused on value for money for motorists.

Morgan and the Morgan Firm Across Time
Morgan pressed government bond funding as wartime finance and later faced an assassination attempt while protecting Allied efforts in World War I. The firm’s vast holdings, many seen as interlinked subsidiaries, drew Senate scrutiny revealing extensive directorships and assets. Morgan resembled his father in build and bearing and grew deaf, using a hearing device in later years. He enjoyed yachting flowers, backgammon, and grouse shooting, even with King George VI, and preferred an English car tailor made to let him wear a high silk hat indoors.
