Rubber Industry Eyes Record Tire Output This Year
Civilian production officials forecast the rubber industry will exceed the 66 million passenger tires goal, aided by new cotton yarn controls protecting tire cord supplies. The outlook notes output 13 million tires above last year’s 53 million casings, but warns retail dealers may lag deliveries through summer. A May 1 yarn mill “freeze” is expected to restrict production to essential tires, with a price increase to deter noncurbing use.

U S Plans To Reenter Butter Market By May
Washington plans to reenter the butter market around May 1 to buy about 65,600,000 pounds to supply the armed services and military hospitals over the next 13 months. The government will likely require manufacturers to set aside a portion of May and June output to secure this supply. Industry outlook remains weak with production expected to fall below last year and pre war levels while consumer demand stays strong.
