WASHINGTON, May 21-(P
The rubberneck bus is going to
be put to more essential war use
to save rubber.
Effective June 1, the office of
defense transportation decreed
last night, all sightseeing bus SER
vices will be prohibited and char
tered buses will be reduced TO
such essential operations as the
moving of troops, war workers,
and school children.
Joseph B. Eastman, ODT di-
rector, estimated this would save
more than 100000 pounds of
crude rubber a year. He added
that sightseeing and charter bus
es travelled 21,000,000 miles last
year and used up about 128,000
pounds of crude rubber.
