Tough Bill Jeffers
To Start First
Rubber Plant Soon

William Tough Bill" letters,
who was told by President
Roosevelt to get synethtic rubber
production under way as soon as
possible. How the job is going is
indicated by LETTERS announce
ment that the first plant in the
million-ton-a-year rubber produc-
ton program will go into oper-
alton next month. The announce
ment came in one of the inter-
ludes in LETTERS controversy with
some of the higher-ups whom he
accuses of hindering the project.
Located in the West Virginia
hills near the unincorporated vii
lage Of Institute, the new factory
will eventually produce $4,000
tons of crude synthetic rubber
which will be shipped elsewhere
for fabrication. It's output will
help meet the estimated STA. 900
tons of rubber required for the
nations war needs in 1e43.
Institute lies in the kanawha
Valley, where more than 500
basic chemicals are manufactured
and which is called the Chemical
Ruhr" of America. The synthetic
rubber plant covers more than
fifty acres. II will require 1000
workers. For nearly a year 5000
laborers, working on a twenty
four-hour shift, seven days a
week, have been busy building it.
The problem of housing and feed
ing this sudden increase in popu-
lation created acute problems for
Institute and surrounding com
munities.
Institute-the site of the West
Virginia State College for Ne
groes-eould take care of only
a part of the workers. The rest
descended on near by Dunbar,
where the normal population is
5000. Dunbars one hotel and all
its houses are now overcrowded
with roomers. Among its new
problems is what to do with gar
bage. War priorities make the
purchase of an incinerator impos-
sible, and the municipal garbage
dump, adequate for ordinary uses,
is about 10 overflow.
