The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-When you get your new set of synthetic tire s, don't expect to go tearing down the road at sixty miles an hour The sad news is that passenger tires made of synthetic rubber will not be strong enough to endure high speeds or rough roads.
 Present plans call for production of passenger tires from synthetic rubber without an admixture of natural rubber, except for mere five ounces required to cement the plies together. This will mean an indefinite continuation of the 35 miles-an- hour speed limit, and it will also mean that you can't drive with absolute safety on rocky coun- try roads, or over any very rough surfaces.
 A jagged stone or rock will read fly rip a synthetic tire, and tn break tends to run" or become larger without further abuse.
 In short, synthetic rubber will be conspicuous for its quantity more than it's quality: It will not serve for heavy duty of any kind, either civilian or military.
 The Germans have recognized the weakness of synthetic, and have mixed 40 percent natural rubber with SO percent synthetic in the manufacture of heavy duty tires. Sometimes they rely on natural rubber 100 percent. Tires received from captured Nazi aircraft reveal that they contain no synthetic.
 (The Germans have continued to receive natural rubber until early this year, via French ships which brought the rubber from Japanese held East Indies. In 1942, they re- ceived 50,000 tons. This commerce has been cut off, however, by the North African campaign and the end of French overseas collabora- tion with Germany.
 In the early hopeful days, U. S. experts planned to mix only five percent natural rubber with 95 per- cent synthetic for trucks and com-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-One of the Hollywood movie producers has grabbed off the title Appointment in Berlin" The picture may smell to high heaven, or it may be an- other of those perennial Hollywood masterpieces" which is here this week, gone to the neighborhoods to- morrow. I wouldn't know.
 But I do know that the companys press department was on it's pro- motional toes. They went out and got all the wartime commentators who would answer their query to guess when the Allied Nations would hold their appointment in Berlin.
 John Dos Passes called the date, August 1944; Upton Sinclair picked Washington's birthday next; Wal ter Duranty says the end of this year.: Clark Lee and Lowell Thomas say before October 31, 1944";; Jesse Stuart thinks the AL lied Nations armies will spend Christmas, 1944, in Berlin; Corey Ford agrees with Jesse Stuart.
 Hendrix Willem van Loon is the most insistent optimist. He'll take "even money that the Nazis will be pleading for peace come late aut- umn. Fannie Hurst is probably next in line with her forecast that we'll ring out the old and ring in the new there when this year is torn off the calendar.
