Surplus Jap Rubber
May Find Way Into
U. s, Seiber|ing Says
Toxic Seen Releasing
Some for Badly Needed
Foreign Exchange
b. the Associated Press


NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-J. p. Sci
berling, president Of the Seiberling
Rubber Co., said today that Japan
now has so much more rubber than
1t can use that II suspect there
will be an attempt at trading with
the enemy"
In an interview before addressing
the Greater New York Tire and Bat
terry Association he said, "Jspan will
let out rubber to get the foreign
exchange it badly needs, and some
of 1t may find its way here. How
ever, all rubber buying is Govern
ment controlled now, and no man
ufacturer may buy crude rubber ex-
cept from the Rubber Reserve
Corp"
Asks Rati0ning Control.
In his prepared speech he rec
commended that the Government
place all tire rationing. mainte-
nance, Gaping and repairing ex-
clusively in the hands of independ-
ent dealers.
He said such action would sup
port the private dealer and the sys-
tenn of free competition until bus
iness could be resumed normally
after the war.
The transport system must be
maintained, he declared, and ut Is
vitality important, therefore, that
expert maintenance service be given
tire and tube equipment of our Ma
tions motor transport in order that
it may be kept in operation for the
duration of the war. I know Of nc
group in all the villages, towns and
cities of the United States who is
better able to render such impor-
tant Service than Independent tire
experts"
Tight" Situation Predicted.
Previously, Mr.. Seiberling told in
terviewers that unless new source:
of rubber were Unexpectedly de.
veloped the rubber situation in the
United States would be very tight
by the end of 1943, but that there
should De some relief during 1914
No other source of rubber can be
as extensively developed as the
Netherlands Indies and Malaya, hi
said, and any substitutes will be
only temporary until access to these
fields again becomes possible.

War Machine Needs
43 Million Tons Of
Steel This Year
Use of Half of Nations
TotoI Capacity Will Hit
Civilian Industry
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The Iron
Age estimated today that war re-
quirements would take more than
100000 tons of steel ingots this
year, figure approximating halt
the Nations total potential capacity.
This great volume of steel will be
earmarked for such direct war needs
as the shipbuilding and railroads in
dustries, the shell steel and tank
manufacturers and for lease-lend," :"
the iron and steel trade journal said.
Indirect war needs will take ad-
ditional large tonnages but it is the
big tonnage required for the forego-
ing five major groups that will
brush aside much other demand for
this metal"
Civilian Needs to Suffer.
The demand for steel Is so great,
the magazine said, that it appears
likely certain indirect" war require
ments must suffer along with some
essential" civilian requirements, 1t
continued.
Steel mills, it commented, are un-
able to promise delivery on orders
with less than ALA" priority rat
ing for weeks to come.
Automobile and auto body makers
have been advised not to ship steel
from stocks except on specified ord
ers with high preference rating, 1t
stated.
Similar orders, accompanying
general tightening of the priority
system as applied to metals, have
gone out to steel makers who
ordinarily supply petroleum industry
equipment, banning shipment OF
certain products.
The magazine said steel production
was continuing at the record evel
of a week ago at 95.5 per cent OF
capacity.
Labor Problem Cited.
Whether these high rates of ingot
production can be maintained. in
definitely without losses due to
strikes is a question that is bound to
recur to industrial observers despite
President Roosevelt's emphasized
warning in his February % address
to the Nation that no interruptions
must stop the flow of industrial
production for defense" the mag
azine said.
Again the National War Labor
Board Is face to face with the de-
mand for the closed shop and dues
checkoff. Should the War Labor
Board grant the demand of the
S. w. o. C. (Steel Workers Organiz-
ing Committee, G. I. o. for steel
wage increase and for the closed
shop it would set precendent to
cover not only the steel industry
but industry generally"

Chicago Grain
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

CHICAGO, Feb. 25-Wheat prices
sagged more than a cent a bushel
and other grains took correspond
ing losses today as the futures mar
ket retreated due to trade nervous
ness over the Government program
involving disposal of large stocks Of
ever-normal granary wheat and
corn.
President Roosevelt's statement
opposing bill pending in the Sen
ate which would limit sale of Gov
ernment grain, prohibiting disposal
of prices below parity, was an i'm
portant factor in the trade. Sales
of Government wheat and corn the
last few months have had the effect
of checking price gains in the grain
market, with prices of all cereals
still below parity levels.
Wheat closed 1-1A cents lower
than yesterday, May 128A, July
1.303s-130A; corn, y Il lower, May
