Rubber Program To Exceed Plans From 1943 Output Projections
Washington July 16 INS President W S Parish of Standard Oil of New Jersey said synthetic rubber efforts will boost tire output by 34,000,000 units beyond earlier forecasts before 1943 ends. He warned optimism should not endanger supply, noting butyl rubber and the new flexon process offer advantages yet the war needs remain pivotal. Parish noted overall rubber prices have hovered 13 to 20 cents per pound, with butyl potentially 10 to 16 cents. The government program will not fully satisfy civilian auto demand.
