Reporter blamed for check at Naugatuck Chemical Rubber Co
A Waterbury paper reporter in the Naugatuck area is believed responsible for a probe at the Naugatuck Chemical and the U S Rubber Co. The OPA found no tire sales, noting tires were loaned to workers who had applied for tires through ration boards. Officials said the practice, though common nationwide, was not a wrongdoing. The Naugatuck Chemical receives rejected tires for processing into rubber stock, some in poor condition, with a few loaned to employees. No action on tire selling or loaning was found beyond the inquiry.
