Allied Rubber Stock
Reported al Low
Point Of War
Nv the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
Stocks of crude rubber In the
hands of the Allies have dipped to
the lowest point since the start Of
the war.
This was reported yesterday by
the Combined Raw Materials Board
in cautioning that the overall rub
Der problem sis far from solved"
The United States crude rubber
stock pile, which stood in the neigh
borhood of 100000 tons after Pearl
Harbor. may dip below 10000 tons
by the end of 1914, said James F.
Clark, head of the War Production
Boards rubber division.
1t had been estimated this coun-
try would end the year with $4,000
tons of crude, but receipts have
fallen below expectations.
While satisfactory smaller sized
tires can be made entirely of syn
thetics, substantial amounts Of nat
ural rubber still are necessary in
extra-heavy truck and bus castings
anu dupldIle tlTeS.
Drawing a sharp distinction be-
tween the successful synthetic rub
ber program in the United States
and the crude rubber shortage, the
Combined Raw Materials Board,
composed of representatives of this
country, Canada and the United
Kingdom, said:
The natural product now is being
used faster than it is being imported.
q" I" The board believes that, through
increased efforts in production and
through utmost saving in the use of
crude rubber, delicate balance be-
tween supply and requirements of
the natural product can be attained
in 1945. Such balance has not yet
been achieved, however"
Unfavorable weather in Ceylon
has reduced crude shipments. Since
the japanese captured British and
Dutch rubber producing lands in the
Far East, Ceylon has been the most
important source of crude for the
United Nations.
- The board also said less favor
able reports are coming from the
wild rubber areas of Africa and
South America.
