Rubber Plants
Operating al

international News Service Wire

AKRON. O.. Jan. %. - This
rubber capital of the nation took
on the aspect of boom town as
rubber company officials an
nounced today that plants are
operating at capacity and that
from Is TO Is per cent of produc-
ton is for national defense.
Spokesman for the companies
allayed any fears of a bottleneck
in the industry, pointing out that
there is no definite emergency in
the Far East, where Akron gets
its crude rubber.
Executives were arsig h d
enough TO stock substantial re-
serves of rubber and this, with a
program of processing reclaimed
rubber, has banished all worries
on this score for the present.
Besides. the companies are ready
at almost a moments notice to
start synthetic rubber production
at top speed should there be any
indication of falling off in the
crude supply. The Firestone Tire
and Rubber Company is operating
its synthetic plant at capacity and
plans 10 enlarge operating facili-
ties this year.
