Hull warned today Testifying before the Senate Finance Committee Hull vigorously opposed suggestions that the act be amended to give Congress the right to approve each new agreement made A demand for

Rubber Director William Jeffers reported today that 30000000 new tires will be produced in 1944 but that non-essential motorists cannot expect new tires for a long time rubber he said in his third progress report a long way toward solution and we are every day nearer to the time when we can put the construction of rubber plants as a problem behind us short while the rubber program is not yet solved it is in the best shape it has ever He said that 30000000 new tires is the probable minimum replacement program that the country can get by with next year and that this figure forecasts retention of present conservation measures maintenance of present driving speeds and general recapping Optimism and Caution The rubber crisis he said will come in the next four to six months during which time most of the synthetic plants will have been built and turned over to operators will be held strictly accountable for Jeffers report was a blend of optimism and caution The time is near he said when construction of rubber plants no longer will be a problem But he added every American must realize that except for essentials rubber cannot become a general available commodity for a long time and conservation must continue The rubber construction program in the United States and Canada has a rated capacity of 850000 long tons annually or 79 per cent of the original recommendations made by the Baruch committee Plants Ready In 1944 All synthetic rubber plants will be in production in 1944 They will produce 750000 long tons next year when it is expected that at least 74000 ions of new crude exports will be available The United States-Canada rubber stockpile at the end of 1943 will be 142000 tons or about 40000 tons above the minimum recommended by the Baruch committee Provision is being made for production of 5000000 new tires in 1943 but none will go to non-essential motorists The country has two supply of scrap rubber for recapping The Armed Services have cooperated in cutting their use of rubber to a minimum As additional supplies become available uses now reduced or abandoned will be -Demands Heavy Allocations of rubber for transportation facilities have been increased beyond anticipation' because of increased- burdens upon these facilities Eight projects have been cancelled to release critical materials to other projects These projects were intended to produce synthetic immediately to cover the spread of time before the big plants come in A total of 64000 tons of and 20000 tons of plant capacity have been cancelled because of a switch in program to meet military needs The original 60000 tons of which at the time of the Baruch report appeared to offer an emergency source of tire recapping material was held unsuitable for present conditions and the program has been reduced to 24900 tons The guayule program under which use was to be made of marginal lands to produce rubber has been held to fewer than 1000 tons In order to free the lands for food production The cryptostegia plantations in Haiti are showing progress toward production of natural rubber and some output will begin early next year The Amazon basin development in South America is being pushed with vigor and should bear fruit in the near future A mission sent by Jeffers to this area in March has returned hopeful Every possible source of rubber in other Latin American countries has been examined with areas in Mexico Colombia and Ecuador showing the greatest promise WIGGINS GIVES ADDRESS A class of 46 seniors was graduated from Eastern New Mexico College with Dr
