one Is that ot 3l synthetic rub- Der plants contracted for by Jesse Jones with the Standard Oil of New Jersey group, not fl single plant Is much beyond the blue print stage. A few foundations have been laid but almost no pros gfess has been made ln building the plnutE, and they will not be finished and working until around lD44
 Second is the fact that although there fire several important pa- tents for making synthetic rubber, such ifs the thenD0 and H0ldfy processes, Jesse Jones has put 6l- most nll his eggs into one basket and is using what is called the "JeTeey" or T. q, Eafben" process, so named because it was develop ed by the German chrtel, l. q, FarbeH, and Standard Oil of New Jersey.
 Meanwhile many scientists. and even some Of JOnes's own experts, contend thaL the Uhffmg or H0H~ dry processes are much faster. cheaper, and will use less defense materials,
 CLOSED hEFIhEhIEs
 Finally. Jesse JOnes's Rubber Is going IL for the construction Of big new rubber plants 3l Gf them let 10 the Jersey group alone it fl cost Of $l0,000 GOO each, whereas there ire plenty of refiHefles, closed because of gas rati6nlng, which could be converted to fllb- Der plants in i very short Lime,
 These 3l big new rubber plants will require tons Gt steel and would take around IS tO 20 month t0 bnild even lp normal times when steel is easy to get,
 Meanwhile, q, lt. starnes, President of East Texas retr0les Um Derivatives, contends that within 20 days he can convert Texas fffineiies which have been closed by gas ratl0nihg. Furthermore, by nsing a quicker therm0 process, staFDes declares he can be making rubber Lhfee months later, Within 0ne year, he estimates,~and others bear him 0ilL--it would be possible Co make enough rubber t0 supply all 0ur military uses~~Or about GG,O00 tons,
 Among those who bear him out Is tbe famous French inventor. Eu- gene ]. HMidry, who developed cracked high Lest gasoline and Inc Houdry rubber process, and who assefts that by setapDlng the slow eF Standard Of New Jersey process, a million Lons of synthetic rubber could be made next year, with one third 10 0nerhalt Less steel for plant construction, This would completely disBel all ideas Of Tee guisiti0ning the pHbiie's tlres, JESSE JOkEH's FIGURES
 Against these calculations of around a million tons of rubber which could be produced during next year under the LherHo or Hgidfy processes, here Are Lhe aes tliai estimates Of what will be pros dueed under Jesse JOnfs's Rubber Reserve;
 During ID42-abogt T0,0O0 tons During I043-ab0ut 32s,0O0 tons During iD44-ab0ut 700.0D0 tons
 The latter figure Of 100000 tohs Is only for military requirements, and there IS no provision, iD any manner, shape 0r form, for civilian needs, Hence H0oeeyelts p6ssiz mistie warning of requisiti0nipg civilian Lires,
