New Order Sets Rubber Use Rules and War Surplus Limits
The government imposes synthetic and natural rubber mixing rules with a 90 000 ton consumption cap and March projections. Smaller tires must be under 15 percent natural rubber while larger tires reach 22 percent. 100 percent natural rubber remains for some aircraft tires and distance components. A separate order directs meat packers and suppliers to meet hospital and institutional needs at 1950 levels. Economic Stabilization Administration plans a wage catch up with possible raises up to 10 percent by July 1. The action aims to keep high production while conserving natural rubber.

Officials expect Governor Johnston to modify the wage board order before approval. A hinted change could allow wage escalator raises into effect through June 30 if agreed before January 95, the date of the wage-price freeze. The three labor members who quit after a 12 percent pattern vote are unlikely to return to the nine member panel.
