Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON
major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON-In a previous
Merry Go-Round column it was
revealed that Jesse Jones's Rubber
. Reserve, which is supposed to pro-
vide the nation with rubber, had
let 81 contracts for big synthetic
rubber plants to one patent pool;
that other, quicker patents for max
ing rubber had been ruled out; and
that the 81 big new plants, each
costing $10,000,000, would not be
finished and working until around
1914.
This, il was revealed, was one
OF the reasons behind the White
House warning that civilian tires
might have to be requisitioned.
Continuing the story, it is neces-
sary to go back and review some
significant and not generally known
background
Two years ago there was loud
public clamor when it was dis
