Declares Nation Faces Tire Crisis Rubber Executives Take Gloomy View By Harold C. McKlnley. AKRON, 0., UP-- A possible breakdown In rubber-borne transportation unless immediate and drastic tire conservation measures are taken was seen Saturday by executives of five major Akron rubber companies. A survey of the Industry's leaders brought into sharp focus steps taken by the government to prevent exhaustion of the present small stock of new truck and passenger car tires before the industry can get into volume production of synthetic tires.

Rubber executives viewed the new reduction in value of and gasoline ration coupons from three two gallons as a major liclp In tire conservation. Other steps in this direction were the 20 per cent cut In the October quotas of passenger car tires and the boosting of the essential monthly driving a car owner must do before ho Is eligible for a new passenger car tire ration certificate. The president of one rubber company declared the nation's stock of tires now is less than 3,000,000, adding the supply problem is mainly one of manpower. "There is plenty of synthetic rubber, but not enough workers to convert it into tires," said President William O'Nell of the General Tin; and Rubber company. "This industry normally opcr- atei with 16,000,000 tlrci tn Tires now on the'nation's passenger cars are being burned up by widespread violation of the 35- mllc-an-hour driving- rule, Industry leaders Indicated.

In addition to the manpower problem, manufacturers arc facing technical problems In handling synthetic and a threatened shortage of tire fabric. "We arc today In a rubber crisis," commented John L. Collycr, president ol the B. F. Goodrich company.

He declared "tho greatest contribution that American car and truck owners con make toward solution of the problem is to keep 'within the national speed limit of 35 mllcu per hour, maintain recommended inflation pressures, adhere to recommended load limits and rigidly follow all rules of tire care." Others voicing similar views were Executive Vice President Lee R. Jackson of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company, President J. P. Sciberling of the Selb- crling Rubber company, nnd E. J.
