BY STERLING F. GREEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-R)-
Rubber Director William NJ.
LETTERS said today the synthetic
rubber program needs a clear
priority go-ahead on at least IS
to 70 percent of its plant con-
struction to avoid a disaster" in
military and industrial trans
port.
Right now the delayed pro-
gram is in such precarious bal
ance, he said, that "a few bad
breaks would spell catastrophe. "
Nevertheless, LETTERS said in
an interview that he did not be-
lieve the new East coast ban on
pleasure driving necessitated
by the petroleum shortage
should now be extended to the
rest of the country to save tires.
While asserting that this opin-
ion might have to be revised
next summer when people
start driving to the ball parks
and beaches and places" the
rubber chief said he thought
people generally would coop
crate without coercion in keep
ing tire wear to minimum.
If possible, he said, he would
like to preserve such freedom OF
movement as is now permitted
under mileage rationing, in
areas where the petroleum sup
ply makes this feasible. More
over, he added, passenger cars
can use reclaimed rubber for re-
caps and even new tires, while
trucks and military vehicles re-
qUire crude and synthetic rub
Der.
If IS to 70 percent of the syn
thetic plant program were given
unhampered preference in the
competition for equipment and
materials, the program could
still hit production rate IN
1914 of 100000 tons, Jeffers
said.
This would suffice to keep the
military machines of this coun-
try and the United Nations roll
ing, as we'll as essential trucks
and buses, he observed. But il
doesn't leave any for the rank
and file Of motorists. These. he
said. would have to get along
with recaps and reclaim until
completion of the remaining 90
to 35 percent of the program for
" hich no special priority aid is
being asked.

DeGau|Ie Asks
Prompt Meet
Opposes Delay
Sought by Giroud

LONDON, Jan. 8 - U.P -
Gen. Charles De Gaulle, fight
ing French leader, has demand
ed an immediate meeting with
Gen. Honore Giraud, chief of the
French political and military
forces in Africa, reliable infor-
mants said today.
Replying to proposal by Gil
raud that the meeting be held
late this month, DeGaulle, in
formants said, insisted that the
discussions on French supreme
leadership should be discussed
at once in view of the urgent po-
liitcal problems involved.
Fighting French quarters ex-
pressed hope that Giraud would
reconsider and advance the date
for meeting.
The fighting French National
Committee conferred with De-
Gaulle today and it was believed
that policy to be pursued when
the meeting took place was con-
sidered.
Fighting French quarters had
little hope, apparently, that Gil
raud would agree to establish a
unifying body in North Africa
with DeGaulle as head.
Some quarters in London saw
signs of sh-American dis
agreement over the future polit-
ical regime in Africa. Britain
had tactly recognized De Gaulle
as French leader after the COL
lapse of France in 1910 and
there was considerable feeling
here that De Gaulle was the pro-
per choice to head a North Afri-
can government. The United
States has not recognized De-
Gaulle and has said that the
French people should choose
their leader.
There was some feeling that
Allied recognition of provis-
ional French government in
Africa might be inadvisable, on
the ground that the present stat
us in Africa could be maintained
and the French leaders here and
ia Africa could be maintained
and the French leaders here and
in Africa should concentrate on
military problems.

this.
