Action 10 Conserve
Rubber Predicted by
Defense Officials
No Shortage Exists Now
And Severe Cuts in Tire
Output Held Unlikely
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PrebS.
Government action probably will
be taken within the near future to
force conservation of rubber, defense
officials said today.
Concern over shipping difficulties,
uncertainties III the Far Eastern sit
uation, and increased domestic con-
sumption have prompted decision
to require economizing on the use OF
rubber, but officials at the Office OF
Production Management asserted
that there is no present shortage.
Severe curtailment of the manu-
facture of tires or other rubber prod
ucrs is unlikely. they asserted.
Since there is no immediate diff
Guilty in filling defense needs as in
the case of aluminium, zinc and
other materials, officials said that
the conservation order would take
some form different from that Of
previous priority regulations which
placed defense uses ahead of civilian
requirements.
One plan being considered would
require importers to set aside Ger
tain percentage of their stocks for
a reserve pool. Another would re-
quire manufacturers to cut deliveries
to dealers by fixed percentage. In
any case, the rubber conserved would
be kept in a pool to be allocated
by the Government for defense uses
in an emergency.
More than 80 per cent of the
crude rubber used in the United
States comes from British Malaga
and the Netherlands Indies.
Consumption has risen from ap-
proXimately 100000 tons in 1889 to
a current rate of about 100000.

holes at the top corners of the area
and start saving downward, follow

If the room has a Dashboard it is
not necessary to saw this out since
the ironing board frame can be set

height from the floor. The built-in
folding board shown in the ac-
companying illustration meets these
requirements and is a simple job in
carpentry for any craftsman with
the courage to open up the wall
between two studs to a height OF
73 inches.
The location of the ironing board
is a matter of personal preference.
1t is usually found in the kitchen
or laundry, but there is no reason
why it can't be installed In any
special workroom or connecting
hallway, if desired. The first job
is the preparation of the opening in
the wall. Most modern houses have
wall studs set on l6-inch centers.
The space between these studs
measures approximately 1414 inches
and it was for this space that the
board illustrated was designed.
For wider studs the overall width
of the ironing board frame must
be altered. But wider studs are
the exception in all but very old or
cheaply constructed homes. The
easiest way to make the opening in
a plaster wall is to saw it out. A
couple of dime store keyhole saws
will be ruined in the process, but the
saving in possible cracked plaster
and manual labor will outweigh this.
First locate the studs by drilling

tration should be followed. The
slot is "a inch wide by as inch deep.
Start each with shallow hole made
with 34-inch auger bit centered
at a point II inches from the lower
end of the side piece. Bore a second
hole at point 16 inches above and
mark the sides Of the slot with a
ruler and pencil.
Work out the waste stock with
chisel and smooth the slot with
sandpaper wrapped around the edge
of a thin block of wood. The top
of the slot is then hooked toward
the front, as shown, to give firm
support to the butt of the board.
This is managed by boring a second
hole forward of the slot by "a of
an inch and smoothing the angles
with the chiSel.
The frame is assembled with wire
nails and the quarter-inch plywood
backing is fastened in place with
1-inch wide nails spaced about 3
inches apart. 1t is then fitted into
the opening in the wall and fastened
in place with 3-inch finishing nails
spaced about IL inches apart on
each side.
The ironing board is cut from a
single piece of well-SeaSoned spruce
or pine measuring l inch thick by
IL inches wide. Round the edges
and sandpaper the surface for
smoothness. The sliding end batten
is made of l by inch oak or maple.
Dress the ends round to a diameter
of q of an inch, shoulder slightly,
and fasten to the butt of the board
with four wood screws, as shown in
the lower left-hand detail.
The lower facing or Dashboard is
applied next with finishing nails.
Set them lightly with nail set.
Then face the two sides and top of
the frame with 4-inch-Wide nodded

door facing. Miter the upper cor
ners for neatness. This facing is set
back Il inch from the inside edges
of the frame to provide stops for the
upper and lower doors.
These doors can be made panel
style, as shown, using stock frames
and plywood panels, or they can be
cut from "a Inch plywood for more
modern effect. In any event the
lower door is fastened to the board
with two 3-inch butt hinges. Set
these with the pins inside and space
them on a line 81 inches from the
butt of the board.
Twist the board into the slots and
