Auto
Manpower. Planes
Demands Cut Into
Car Tire Program
BY SILER FREEMAN

The optimism of last summer
that greeted the magnificent
start of the full synthetic pro-
gram is fading fast and the out
look for the average motorist
for new tires without a ration
ing certificate is bleak. The
first estimate that II would be
early in 1914 has now yielded 10
the more conservative guess
that 1T will probably be July.
1874"
The reasons for the post
ponement are many. Foremost
IS the manpower situation in
the rubber plants. Workers
from the auto tires section have
been moved TO the truck tire
divisions TO keep production at
full speed.
Then there is the Army Air
Forces increased demands for
tires for cargo planes. The
latter have been operating with
overloads, resulting in more
rapid destruction of tires. These
huge tires are manufactured in
the truck tire plants, which has
delayed work on truck, bus and
tractor tires.

On the

BY WARD SCHULTZ
Financial Editor

The current issue of the De-

extracts from a recent speech
made by Vice President Ben f.

Detroit-a speech which created
somewhat of a sensation at the

Young pointed out that the
savings created during the war
period-estimated up 10 100 bill
lion dollars-would have great
impact in creating jobs but that
the social and political impact
would be even greater.

PRICE is ANSWER

The oil industry contends. Frye
pointed out, that the uncertainties
and high cost of intensive explora-
ton required to find new wells
can only be overcome by an in
crease in the price of crude oil
The increase recommended by
Ickes. he explained, would only
mean an increase of .0S5 of ! cent
per gallon on all petroleum prod
ucts and would increase the cost
of living index only .0085 of / per
cent.
Frye disclosed that $50 permits
for oil and gas exploration were
