'Foo|hardy' 10 Relax Tire
Ban Now, Henderson Says

Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son today warned that relaxation of
tire rationing now, because produc-
ton Of synthetic rubber Is being ex-
panded. would be dangerous and
foolhardy."
Declaring that press comment,
based on the recently-announced
plan for Government-finan con-
struction Of synthetic rubber plants,
had given rise ito false hopes" that
We are now able to relax the tire
rationing program Immediately, Mr..
Henderson warned:
1T will be at least 18 months,
and possibly longer, before any sub
stantial quantity Of synthetic rubber
becomes available. According to re-
ports today from the Far East, rub
Der plantations are being laid waste
and processing plants destroyed to
prevent their falling In Japanese
hands. Under these circumstances
it Is entirely possible that every
pound Of synthetic rubber that can
be produced in the future may be
needed for direct military use"
The price administrator asserted
that services essential to the health
and safety Of the public can only be
assured of their tire requirements
If the rest of us go without or de-
pend upon used or retreaded tires
