That the rubber industry has

continued. This industry is not a

Is collection of individualistic and
independent companies with diverse

Their individual interests are now
made subordinate to the national

trade"
If more drastic restriction of rub

sary, Opacs would have the
responsibility Of determining just

possibility of this eventuality Is
startling to most firms in the rub

Rubber Control Fails

SIowness and Claims
Undesirable Results
By OLIVER MCKEE.

Pointing out that slowness of ac-
tion by Government agencies in rub
Der control measures has had 'un-
desirable results" the Commerce
Department reported today that SO
far the program has failed to achieve
q saving of crude rubber. The re-
port, prepared by E. G. Holt, re-
views recent developments In the
rubber control program.
The primary objective of the
program is to build up reserve
stock of crude rubber to care for
emergency needs of the United
States if imports should be cut OF
Mr. Holt said.
The program up to this time
could have been greatly aided by
concurrent regulations checking
domestic crude rubber consumption,
increasing use of reclaimed rubber
quick provision for expansion of
production capacity for reclaimed
and synthetic rubber, prompt lin
itation of motor vehicle output to
reduce demand for original equip
ment tires, stimulation of tire re-
treading, more careful driving to
make tires and tubes last longer,
and reduction of vehicle operation
through gasoline rationing," the re-
port declared Though something
has been done in all these directions,
absolutely no saving of crude rub
ber is apparent" it added.
Industry Is Chided.
In accordance with usual indus
try competitive practices" the motor
