AUTO INDUSTRY WILL CURTAIL
 COPPER USES
Engineers Begin Research On New Alloys for
 Radiators
nY ANTHONY c. DELoRENzo

nY ANTHONY e. DELORENzO Limited Press StaR COrrespondentl Detroit, Dec, l9.-(UP) One Of the major war-imposed problems currenly testing the ingenuity of tho automobile industry's engineers as replacing copper in passenger car radiators with steel,
 The OPM already hos served in- formal notice that copper must be eliminated, ct least partly, from ra- diators because of the vital need for the strategic material in the nas tionB armament program.
 The automobile industry uses 9 to 10 per cent of Americas copper supply which, incidentally the gov- eznTlient hopes to boost to approxi~ f mately 100000 tons within the next year. There are 60 to 50 pounds of copper in each car.
 OpM has asked the industry first to experiment with Q steel-fln TO. diator which would retain copper or brass in its tubing and tank. EVen- tually, however, car manufacturers probably will be forced to switch to an all steel type radiator, efficiency of which is said to be l6 to 20 per cent lower ct high speed.
 Type Not So Efacient
 Ford already hos developed Q steel-fan radiator, according to R. Fl McCarroll, chief of chemistry and metallurgy. Thus far, he said, 1t has proved less efiiclent thAn present types in which copper Is used as Q conductor of cold air, Steel does not have the corrosive qualities oi copper and consequently, he said steeltype radiators would be less durable, more likely to become ciogged with rust and impurities.
 Alex Tauh, 0PM engnieer, hal expressed the opinion that the ins ferior cooling efficiency of steel TO. diators could Do improved by use oi @ pressure cap, more fins per square inch and different soldering teeh' niuue. Industry sources believe however, that these changes would require increasing the size and weight of present radiators from lt to 50 per cent. This, they said, ever may entail complete redeSigning oi present cars.
 TOollng Trouble Feared
 MeOarrel believes that building steel-typo radiators would require additional hours in the tool room now badly overburdened with dc. fense work: increased use of less critical materials, and more man. hours for their production,
 By retaining copper In only Che tubing and tank of radiators, 1t was estimated that 6 30 to 30 per cent saving in use of the scarce material could Do realized,
 The automobile industry will pro- duee maximum of i,402,i87 pas- senger cars during the first seven months of the io42 model year end- ing March l. ie42, compared with 2,S2S ,03B cars for the corresponding period of the previous model year. Manufacturers failed to make their OPM quota of passenger cars dur. ing the first four months which ended Nov. 90. They built about 7ei ,ee7 cars, total of 36,000 fewer than permitted by the government,

Sudden RatiOning Of Rubber Tires Brings Battle Of The Indies Home To Americans

 The East Indian conflict bounced into John Consumers daily affairs because about 90 per cent of our rubber comes from there - and John e, Is the worlds largest user of crude rubber,
 Viewing the possibility of . war with Japan slowing up or com- pletely hAlting imports of crude rubber from the Far East, Donald M, Nelson, director of prioritleS in the office of Production Man. agement, recently asked the pubs lie to save products needed for na- tionAl defense, He specified tn, manganese and chromium along with rubber, but the latter Is the only one on which the average citizen can do any real saving,
