CALLED YESTERDAY

CALLED YESTERDAY
President Roosevelt called for
the rubber salvage campaign at
his press conference yesterday
TO find out just how much scrap
rubber is available. Estimates
vary widely. One report by the
Bureau of Census showed esti-
mates 100000 tons apart.
Details of the rubber salvage
program must be worked out. 1t
is not certain yet which of the
government agencies will han
die it, However, Petroleum Co
ordinator Harold l.. Ickes is
scheduled to receive from the
oil industry soon an offer to col
lect rubber scrap through the
nations thousands of filling sta
tons.
The Office of Emergency Man
agement has been working on
plans for more general salvage
campaign that would have start
ed within a month. 1t would
have included all scarce mater
ials.
The scrap rubber campaign
will have no effect on the gaso-
line rstioning system in the
eastern states. There the prob
lem is one of supply. The tank
erS that ordinarily brought it
from gulf ports having been
taken off those routes because
of the submarine menace. The
permanent program for the east
ern states will 60 into effect as
scheduled early next month.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press
conference h t he wants a
quick and snappy salvage cam
paign. He said that if the supply
Of scrap rubber is no greater
than the lowest estimates, then
the rubber shortage is very Sc
rious. If it is as great as the
highest estimates, he said, then
the rubber problem for military
purposes is not SO great.
