one license Gurney Rubber Goodyear Tire Rubber B. F. Goodrich and United States Rubber to 150,000 tons annually as compared with a total synthetic rubber production tons in 1S41. Officials of the rubber industry said they believed the new program announced by Jones called for production of 400,000 tons a year in addition to the output planned' previously, making a total of 550.000 tons a year. The present output of the German Ersatz rubber industry is 75,000 tons a year and that Of Italy is 25,000 tons, according' to best available figures.

Crude' Oil Base The new program is to be in full operation by the middle of 1343. Construction of the plants will be financed by the RFC. Jones said, but the industry will be permitted to put up money if it desires. The rubber is to be made by the Butadiene process with crude oil as the main base. It is expected to cost about 30 cents a pound, ten cents higher than the present natural rubber price.

Jones explained that nearly all of the leading oil companies would join in making the basic material and nearly all the leading rubber and chemical companies would work together to process -it into artificial rubber. Rubber men agreee' that, while the program would meet military needs, there would be little rubber left qver for civilian use.
