THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1940 AKRON BEACON JOURNAL PAGE TWENTY-NINE Trade Winds War And Crude Rubber Synthetics Now A Fact Leadership In Akron RUBBER--Rubber is an everyday essential. The American today lives his life in or on rubber in one form or another. That's why threats that no crude rubber would be shipped to this country serious. But not SO now. Research has done its duty.

Synthetic rubber is a fact. Important substitutes have been developed by the E. I. du Pont de Nemours the Dow Chemical the B. F.

Goodric'1 two German organizations and others. Their products stand all tests-and more- of natural rubber. Dr. Howard E. Fritz, manager of the Goodrich company's synthetic division, says there need be no fear now that war will cut off this country from a supply of natural rubber.

He says domestic manufacturers will obtain all the synthetic rubber they require, at reasonable prices, within a period of about 12 months. By LOUIS M. SCHNEIDER Beacon Journal Financial Writer ASSUMED--Rubber trade insiders say 1940 domestic consumption will surpass the 1939 record of 577,591 tons. Dutch and all British advices are that prepara- Other Firms Keep Pace In Synthetics The Firestone Tire Rubber today reported it has been successful in producing synthetic rubber and marketing it in certain allied products. The Goodyear Tire Rubber Co.

merely said its laboratories have "kept pace" with other industries in this field. The General Tire Rubber Co. and Seiberling Rubber Co. have not entered the synthetic field, spokesmen said. 1940 demands of the tions have been made to fumitea States.

In fact, first quarter crude rubber world shipments will run 50,000 tons above requirements. STATISTICS--Total 1939 tire 56,975,044 units, a 32.1 per cent gain over 1938, and highest for any year since 1929. Replacement shipments were about 37,536,610 units, a gain of 22.8 per cent over 1938 and the highest since Original shipments were 18,164,441 units, a gain of 57.7 per cent over 1938. Tire production last year was 077,969 units. At the turn of the year, manufacturers had 688,215 units on hand, slightly above a year ago.

Dealers' inventories too, are above last SALES--For the month of January, replacement and original tire shipments show a drastic decline from December. But the factory sales average is still some 15 per cent ahead of January last year, when business was about normal. February sales, however, aren't expected to show as large a gain. DEFERRED--As previously reported here, it is the intention of the United States Rubber management to revamp the common and preferred share setup. The accepted plan is to increase the amount of common, and to replace 8 per cent non-callable first noncumulative preferred with a $5 callable, cumulative, convertible preferred issue.

plan has been hanging fire for months. But the management has fixed ideas. The desire is to have the new $5 preferred quoted in the open market at better than $100. That could be only if earnings warranted a continued quarterly common dividend. A $3 per share annual rate is had in mind.

To pay that much yearly, income must be better than $5 per share. Interests close to the management say 1940 earnings be better than those of last year-barring an unforeseen depression But it is doubtful whether 1940 net will run much above $4 per share. Consequently, there is no likelihood that U. S. Rubber's recapitalization will be announced this year.

Perhaps in 1941. DIVIDENDS--For 1939, U. Rubber will show earnings of better than $3.25 a common share. Friends of the management say it may be as high as $3.35 a share. But conservatives like the first figure.

Company Insiders are talking dividends for common shareholders, one is expected in June. At the April meeting, directors will know what second quarter prospects are. However, they will not vote a dividend if in doubt as to its safety. Insiders look for a 50- cent quarterly rate. The preferred shares will receive the full $8 this year.

PRICE BOOSTS- -A. A. waite, president of Lee Rubber Tire, says a moderate tire price advance isn't unlikely some time this year. He points out that last November's price reductions came at a time when crude rubber and fabric costs were rising. Others in the trade say that as long as crude rubber and fabric prices don't stage a sharp advance, there'll be no tire price boosts.

Moreover, since tire companies are reporting high earnings for 1939, a price boost will not meet with success. Yet Garthwaite did predict something, be concrete. made A tire early price this spring. That's the time when seasonal replacement, demand starts. There's Government tire bids opened Monday, for deliveries April 1, show tire boosts averaging between 10 and 15 per cent.

THORN Tire manufacturers confidentially admit they are worried by the growing practice of retreading old shoes. Trucking firms have been doing it for some time. Now it is spreading into farming districts, and in the towns and cities for taxicabs. Private estimates are that some 5,750,000 tires were retreaded last HUGHES DEFENDS Movie Lone Ranger DISAGREEMENTS Here On Honeymoon They're 'Token Of Vitality' He Claims On Court's 150th Birthday By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.

Disagreement over interpretation of the United States constitution was described by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes today as "a token of vitality." He spoke on a program commemorating the first meeting of the supreme court 150 years ago, after Atty. Gen. Robert H. Jackson asserted that "law must be reand rewritten in terms of current conditions if it is not to be a dead science." The ceremony in the supreme court chamber was attended by members of the senate and house judiciary committees and by a congressional committee appointed to arrange the celebration. Representative Bloom, democrat, of New York, was chairman.

Hughes said that sometimes the court faces questions of intense public, interest, lawyers as "dividing well the as opin- laymen." Must Be Decided "However serious the division of opinion," he added, "these cases must be decided. It should occasion no surprise that there should be acute differences of opinion on difficult questions of constitutional law when in every other field of human achievement, in art, theology, and even the highest levels scientific research, there are expert disputants. "The more weighty the question, the more serious the debate, the more likely is the opportunity for honest and expert disagreement, "This is a token of vitality. It is fortunate and not regrettable that the avenues of criticism are open to all whether they denounce or praise. This is a vital part of the democratic process.

"The essential thing is that the independence, the fearlessness, the impartial thought and conscienmotive of those who decide should both exist and be recognized." Cherished Possession The chief justice said the American people "have again and again evinced the sound instinct which leads them, regardless of any special knowledge of legal matters, to cherish as their priceless possession the judicial institutions which safeguard the reign of la law as posed to despotic will." "Democracy," he continued, "is a hopeful way of life, but its promise of liberty and of human betterment will be but idle words save as the ideals of justice, not only between man and man, but between government and citizen, are held an supreme." Jackson, explaining that "there seems no likelihood that the tensions a and conflicts of our society are to' decrease," said: "I see no reason to doubt that the problems of the next half century will test the wisdom and courage of this court as severely as any half century of its existence. "The destiny of this court is inseparably linked to the fate of our democratic system of representative government. "The future of the court may depend more upon the competence of the executive and legislative branches of government to solve their problems adequately and in time than upon the merit which is its own." MRS, BIERCE RITES FRIDAY AFTERNOON Last rites for Mrs. Mollie Bierce, 76, mother of Bruce Bierce, president of the Akron chamber of commerce, will be held at 2:30 p. m.

Friday at the McGowan funeral home, Cuyahoga Falls. Burial will be in Oakwood cemetery. Mrs. Bierce, wife of Wallace Bierce, died Wednesday at her home, 1922 Fourth Cuyahoga Falls. She had lived in the Falls for 28 years.

Besides her son and husband, she leaves two daughters, Mrs. Carl Thomas, wife of the mayor of Silver Lake, and Miss Marion Bierce of Bloomfield Hills, and a sister, Mrs. Ella Cook of Fort Scott, Kan.

A charge of Sunday sale of liquor against Nick Ben, 50, was dismissed today by Municipal Roderick on the recommendation of Police Prosecutor James Alpeter after a jury before which he was tried failed to agree.

Ben said he lives over his saloon at 1248 Moore st. year. The 1938 total was put at 5,000,000. The 1937 figure was only 4,000,000. Belief in tire circles is that this year's total may run as high as 7,000,000.

Sales of retread tires cut deeply into manufacturers' replacement sales. It is through, replacement sales that the profits are earned. There's no doubt retread sales are worrying the new tire industry. Board Brains Huddle-.

One per 'cent more workers found jobs in December than were employed in November, while an 11 per cent gain was registered over employment in December, 1938.

POWELL Lee Powell, Bride Tell Of Acting Plans; Cite Pet Peeves There are two things which irk Lee Powell, the man who played the original part of the Lone Ranger hero in the movie serials. One is to be confused with the radio hero, "'The Lone Ranger," whose name is Earl Glazier. The other is to have his new bride, the former Norma Rogers, daughter of a big top producer, described as a "circus bareback rider." In fact, the tall handsome man who was the masked cowboy in the pictures which still are playing 'round the country, dislikes all types of publicity SO he claims. Wants To Be Actor "I definitely dislike serials and want to be an actor," he said. He also is definite in his plan to have his bride quit her job of wire walking and as equestrienne and director of an elephant act in her father's circus.

"I always hated the circus," she confesses. "Even before broke back on a loop-the-loop act several years ago and a year later had to have an operation to allow me to walk again, I hated it." Lee just finished another picture in Hollywood before he came to Chicago three weeks ago CO marry the girl he met when he was doing a broncho-busting act in her father's show last pair return to Hollywood after doing their Detroit show. No one would question the fact that Lee himself is a typical movie hero type with his broad shoulders and clean cut features, but he ments the fact that he was cast in a cowboy part and especially with a mask, as a tough hombre, from the start. "Once you put a man on a horse in Hollywood they never seem to think you can play any other parts. It practically finishes he asserted.
