Thomas warned, howcV yer,
against optimism about synthetic
rubber supplies as a source OF
tires for civilian use. He said that
while definite progress Is being
made in the synthetic rubber pro-

vide tires for essential needs"
he said.
Thomas said the first batch Of
synthetic rubber was used for
making the latest type of combat
tires for military vehicles. The new
synthetic rubber, which the gov
eminent has adopted as standard,
is called buna and is composed of
.butadienc, a by-product obtained
-in the manufacture Of gasoline, and
Istyrenc, derived from coal tar or
