WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 (INS)
800 Two high government officials
today vigorously defended the pay
ment of consumer subsidies as a
means of holding down rising
living costs.
Donald NJ. Nelson, chairman of
the WPB, declared:
THE continuance of the sub

national well being"
Secretary of the Navy Knox
asserted:

The House, meanwhile, took a

In the post fwo years, you have OF the most
thrilling reseues in American history.
You have seen the Government, the Rubber Director
and group OF industries :. rubber petroleum. chemical
alcohol working together against odds to America
from threatened rubber shortage
=, And you have them succeed!
You have cheered the news that today america la,
nearly enough rubber 10 meet essential needs.
BUT
Because you know that synthetic rubber plants have
sprung up like magic because you have heard that syn
thetc rubber is in argescae production you have
assumed that your tire worries were about over.

The RUBBER shortage is behind But The long
anticipated TIRE shortage is here today
Perhaps you wonder how there be tire shortage
when
-. thousands of tons of Government synthetic rubber
being produced
=. when such tremendous tonnage Of rubber goods
of all kinds and truck and arplane tires than
before are being turned out.
One answer is that, as the Baruch Committee
pointed out early as July 1912 IL was impos-
sibIe to make many tires until synthetic
rubber supply was we'll under way Naturally,
millions of tires out without requirements,
and those remaining in service have less mileage
In them. Inventories of prewar tires are gone.
In addition, our military needs greater than any
one expected them to be-

Furthermore, heavy-duty combat artillery air
plane trucks and bus tires make up half OF today require
ments-and they demand many times the labor and
materials called for by peacetime needs.
And finally there is the manpower shortage.
