RUBBER DELUGE

Officials in the office of the rubber
administrator are beginning to WON
der what they can do with the hum
dreds of thousands Of tons of SYM
.hetic rubber which will come from
the new plants next year. 1t seems.
little late, but they are now facing
the elementary question of whether
or not the tire companies can han
die the vast quantities Of synthetic
rubber.
The greatest amount Of rubber
ever processed by the nations rub
Der companies in one year was.
$40, 900 tons. But next year we shall
have nearly one million tons to deal
with. Obviously, the present facii-
ties will be inadequate.
But the problem is aggravated by
the fact that tire manufacturing
machinery has been knocked down
and stored away so that rubber COM
panies could convert to production
for the war. Instead Of tires, they
have been making rubber boats, bal
looms, tank treads and life RATS.
Thus we have the problem of find
ing new plant space in which to
bring that machinery back into pro-
duction, and the further problem of
creating entirely new productive IA
cilities to take care of the increased
quantities of rubber which will be
available for manufacture.

SMALL BUSINESS BLOW-UP

The government S program Tor the
relief of small business is headed
for trouble when congress recon-
venes next month.
At secret sessions of the senate
small business committee, headed
by Senator James Murray of Mon
tana, small business men COM
planned about their inability to get
government loans for war contracts
and sub-contracts, while billions of
dollars of government money is be-
ing shelled out to big corporations.
The senate committee heard COM
plants about the tight-fisted loan
policies of the Smaller War Plants
corporation.
One example given the senate
committee was that Of the River
side Boatyard company of Miami,
which tried to get loan Of only
500 from the Smaller War Plants
corporation to complete a war con-
tract. After being turned down, the
company got the $4,000 loan from
a private bank within "A hours.
AS a result, Senator James MUIR
ray of Montana, chairman Of the
senate small business committee, is
planning some close scrutiny Of the
Smaller War Plants corporation.
