Manufacture of women's wear
containing elastic will be resumed
in late December or January, a
War Production Board official said
last night
Plans made by WPB's textile
branch call for resumption of the
use of elastic in all apparel in
which 1t was used before the war.
1t has not been determined on
what scale the new goods will be
made at the start.
The new apparel will be made
with neoprene synthetic instead of
natural rubber, and the official said
it will be as satisfactory as prewar
elastic. The cost probably will be
slightly higher than goods made
from natural rubber.
