'Rubberless Tires
Reported In Tests
By Two Companies
Trade Publication Article
Sees Hope For Relieving
Shortage In Experiments
OF Goodyear And Ford

Hard-pressed motorists of this
area, their woes increased by the
promise of gasoline rationing, saw
at least one ray of hope in last
weeks news. This came from an
article in "Automotive News"
trade publication of the automobile
industry, which announced that
progress had been made by two
firms in the manufacture OF Grub
berless" tires.
Highlights of the article follow:
"Goodyear's terse announce
ment that it is testing tires made
without rubber followed Ford
Motor Company's revelation its en-
gineers have developed process
for making tires using one-sixteen-
tn, or less than one pound, of the
10 pounds previously required in an

BOmbers Over Japan

Encouragement and satisfaction to Americans
last week with of the activity of American bombers
which successfully raded detectives in the Philippine
Islands and four major cities of Japan The Importance
of these raids is not to be measured by the damage
done to the enemy but rather by their evidence that
the period of defensive action is ending and the begin
ming of offensive action is possible
News of the raid upon Japanese industrial centers
from the Tokyo radio 1t is unreliable, of course,
but confirms expectation that Japanese Cities said
to be particularly vulnerable to bombing attacks will
have many visitors and often experience the dread of
high explosives and incendiary bombs
The raid the Philippines a busness-like
affair. Flying 1000 miles of hostile waters and
refuelng in secret, fghter-guarded airdromes, the
American planes surprised the Japanese and inflicted
heavy losses.
While the effect of these raids upon Japanese morale
canoe. They may cause the Japanese to stronger
forces for defensive operations and to this extent
the pressure in Burma and on other fronts
While we should proceed cautiously in drawing in
ferences from two successful raids should not forget
that the attack upon Japan represents another adj
in the operations of our Pacific Fleet Raiders of
task force had previously smashed Japanese bases in
the Marshall and Caroline Islands, at captured Wake
and on Marcus Island only 1000 miles from Toyko.
These hard-hitting fast-moving units including car
riers, cruisers and destroyers beginning to
the Japanese of heavier blows to come
If subsequent attacks lie made upon Japanese
Cities the Japanese battle fleet may be compelled to
take up the defense of the island far at This may
be purpose of the raids and if true would indicate
that fleet in the Pacific is about ready to accept
engagement whose outcome would to large degree,
determine the course of the war in the Far East.

Whether either company is US
ing reclaimed or synthetic rubber
in its new tire instead of crude,
remained in doubt although it was
reported unofficially that Goodyear
officials had declareu no rubber

Their details will be forthcoming
after tests are completed.
"In the case of Ford's new cas-
ing, however, it is unders God that
Henry Ford is satisfied with the
experiments and is now awaiting
governmental okay of the new tire

While the process is a secret, i
was learned that a specially-treat-
ed fabric is the main ingredient.
"Neither Ford nor Goodyear
would discuss tubes which, it is
generally agreed in the rubber in

crude rubber. However, ever
