Rayon fiber boost eyed to arm war effort in 1944
Washington reports the War Production Board will add 68 million pounds of high strength rayon for cord in synthetic rubber tires in 1944, bringing total to 174 million pounds but still 32 million short of military needs. Officials say civilian rayon facilities cannot be diverted further and that 32 million must come from new plants built from scratch. Military claims press for expansion to offset dwindling natural rubber stockpiles.
