to the bone, asserting hat if the
production of SyntheticS did not
come up to sch, dulc the mill
tary forces may find themselves
without rubber at some future
date"
In a 57-page report, the committee
said:

sideration to conserve l,00O,0 600 tons

within the next three years.
The best that could be expected
from a successful synthetic program
would be to supply military needs
and essential civilian requirements,
such as tires for car transporting

Resources in this hemisphere offer
little hope of adding substantially t.

rubber, which Price Administrator
Leon Henderson testified would be
exhausted by May, l943, even with
