Standard Oil Chief Forecasts Rubber From Farm Waste
J W Os Parish president of Standard Oil of New Jersey testified before a subcommittee that by end of 1943 the company will produce synthetic rubber capable of making 800000 motor tires annually. He said 2540000 and 6106000 tires would come from reclaimed junk and secondhand equipment with no mineral rubber used. He argued farm-sourced rubber would boost supplies and that oil-related products would back the program, while Rubber Reserve forbade plans to exceed butylene-derived outputs. Senator Okley noted government rubber programs would not shift regardless of policy changes.
