the present gigantic synthetic pro-
gram and by safeguarding jealously
every ounce of rubber in the country.
At the same time we find that
rubber for necessitous civilian use
has been insufficiently allocated.
More must be allowed for tire re-
placement and recapping. That is
part of the conservation program we
submit. More rubber use to those
who need it; less to those who don't!
Let there be no doubt that only
actual needs, not fancied wants, can,
or should, be satisfied. To dissipate
our stocks of rubber is to destroy
one of our chief weapons Of war.
We have the choice!
Discomfort or defeat. There Is
no middle course.
Speed, Mileage Limit Urged.
Therefore, we recommend:
That no speed above IS miles an
hour be permitted for passenger cars
and trucks. 1n this way the life of
tires will be prolonged by nearly 40
per cent?
That the annual average mileage
per car now estimated as 6,700 be
held down to 5000, reduction of
Is per cent. (This does not mean
that each has a right to 5000 miles;
it applies to necessary driving.)
That more rubber than is now
given to the public be released to
fully maintain, by recapping or new
tires, necessary civilian driving.
That a new rationing system of
gasoline be devised, based on this
5000 miles year to save tires.
That the restrictions as to gaso-
line and mileage be national in their
application.
That compulsory periodic tire in
spection be instituted.
That a voluntary tire conservation
program be put into effect until
gasoline rationing can be estab-
iShed.
Gas Rationing Only Answer.
Gas rationing is the only way of
saving rubber. Every way of avoid
ing this method was explored, but it
was found to be inescapabIe. This
must be kept in mind: The limita-
ton in the use of gasoline is not
due to shortage of that commodity
1t Is wholly a measure of rubber
saving. That is why the restriction

Text of Boruch Committee Rubber Report
Discomfort Defeat Only Choice Before Nation President Told
In Comprehensive Survey Of War and Transportation Needs

FOLLOWING is the tert OF the
digest OF the report and recon-
nlendntions OF the Presidents
special committee on rubber:
Mr.. President:
Herewith is presented digest
and full report of the committee
you appointed on August 6, with in
structions that the survey include
not only facts with respect to ex-
isting supplies and estimates as to
future needs, but also the question
of the best method to be fol-
lowed for obtaining an adequate
supply of rubber for our military
and essential civilian requirements.
To recommend such action
as will best produce the synthetic
rubber necessary for our total war
effort, including essential civilian
use. with the minimum interference
with the production of other weap-
ons of war"
We find the existing situation to
be so dangerous that unless cor
rective measures are taken imme-
diately this country will face both
military and civilian collapse.
The naked facts present warning
that dare not be ignored.
End of Crude Stocks in Sight.
We present herewith the sig
niflcant figure:
Crude rubber position of the
United States (July /, 1942 to Janu-
ary 1, 1944):
On hand July /, 1912 (stock pile)-
$4,000 tons. .,-.
Estimated imports July /, 1912, to
January l, 1944-53 900 tons.
Total crude rubber-631 600 tons.
Estimated military and other es-
sential demands July /, 1912, to
January 1, 1914, with no allowance
for tires for passenger automobiles
1000 tons. ..-
Deficit that must be met by pro-
duction of synthetic rubber before
January l, 1944-211 900 tons.
Unless adequate new supplies
(natural or artificiaD can be OBJ
tained in time, the total military
and export requirements alone will
exhaust our crude stocks before the
end of next summer.
Tires on civilian cars are wearing
down at rate eight times greater
than they are being replaced. If

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Commit
tee today readjusted individual
income surtaX rates for the
brackets below $4,000, lowering
them in the lower brackets and
increasing them in the higher.
Treasury experts estimated the
changes would increase total pros
pective revenue by $33, 900, 900 year
AS a result, single persons with
net income of $4,000 or less will
pay lower income taxes than pro-
posed under the House bill, for those
with above $4,000 the total tax liza
bility will be higher.
For married couples without de-
pendents, the break between higher
ana lower rates as compared with
the House bill will come between
s2,500 and $1,000 net income (before
personal exemptions) and for mar
rled couples with two dependents
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The House approved bill pro-
vided 13 per cent surtax on the
first $4,000 of surtax net income.
Is per cent from $4,000 to $4,000,
20 per cent from $4,000 to $4,000 and
"a per cent from 5000 to $4,000.
The Senate group set the surtax
rate at 10 per cent for the first
$500, l3 per cent from $500 to
81 900, Is per cent $1,000 to $500.
II per cent from $500 to $4,000,
10 per cent from $4,000 to $4,000, 21
per cent for $4,000 to $4,000, 23 per
cent for $4,000 to $1,000 and Is
per cent from $4,000 to $1,000.
Such action had been forecast.

Ward Claims Victory
Over Roe by 66 Votes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept 10-With un-
official figures complete for the
first congressional district, Repre-
sentative Ward had a 66-vote lead
over State Senator Dudley G. Roe
and apparently had won renomina-
ton.
The result of the hotly contested
Democratic primary was by no
means certain and was not expected
to be settled until the Official can
vass. The servicemen's absentee
ballots might affect the outcome.
With all 1879 polling places re-
ported unofficial figures gave Repre-
sentative Ward 1887 to 1851 for
Mr.. Roe. Both claimed victory.

this rate continues, by far the larger
number of cars will be off the road
next year and in 1914 there will be
an all but complete collapse of the

Maintaining Reserves First Duty.
We are faced with certainties as
to demands; with grave insecurity
as to supply. Therefore, this COM
mittee conceives its first duty to
be the maintenance of a rubber re-
serve that will keep our armed
forces fighting and our essential
civilian wheels turning. This can
best be done by "bulling through"

Chinese fliers-apparently strongly
reinforced with newest type war
planes-blasted eight Japanese war
ships and transports with a dozen
direct hits, dumped 20 tons OF eX-
plosives on the big enemy base at
Hanoi in Indo-China and shot down
10 to 26 Japanese planes that vain
" attempted to raid the Burmese
port of Rangoon.
The American and British fight
ers over Rangoon took sensational
toll-possibly 35 per cent-of an
estimated 10 attacking aircraft,
while not a bomb fell on the city
itself, the Rangoon radio reported.
Two Allied planes were lost for a
10 to one triumph over the Japa-
neSe.
The rapidly = improving perform
ance of Allied air forces through
out the far eastern fighting zone
came at a time when the Japanese
we're thrusting into the Bismarck,
Solomon and New Guinea island
sector northeast of Australia and
pushing closer to Singapore on a
hotly-contested land front in Ma
laya.
There was no queZlon, however,
that the Japanese offensive -
stretching from Burma to the is
lands north of Australia-still was
pushing forward. The Australian
government again made an urgent
appeal to the United States and
Britain to speed reinforcements
that might turn the enemy back and
cabinet members reiterated that the
danger of invasion and of fighting
on our beaches" was extremely
grave.
Still another Japanese invasion
force headed toward the big Dutch
oil port of Balik Papan on the
east coast of Borneo suffered large
losses when war planes scored II
hits with bombs weighing up to
$50 pounds on eight enemy vessels.

CHUNGKING, China, Jan,
%. (UP)-American, British

have dropped 20 tons of
bombs on Japans Indo-China base
at Hanoi and to have shot down
l9 to 26 out of an estimated 10
enemy aircraft vainly attempting
to raid the Burmese port of RAN
goon.
The aerial defense of Rangoon
and the Burma Road by planes or
the American volunteer group and
the Royal air force was said by the
Rangoon radio to have struck one
of the heaviest blows of the war at
the japanese air force.
Nineteen enemy planes were def
initely shot down, the radio said,
while seven others were probably
destroyed. If all Is were knocked
out, the Allied fights would have
inflicted a loss of more than IS
per cent. Military experts consider
loss of 10 per cent disastrous.
