Synthetic Tires Will Rennoin But In Superior Grade
By HELENE MONBERG

 Washington, Aug. 21 - (UP)-Motorists can look forward to an end of tire ra- &ioning by the first, of the year, but synthetic tires and tubes are here for a long stay, perhaps permanently.
 That's the opinion of rub Der experts in government end industry
 The War oduction Board expects rationing of passen- ger tires to end within two or three months" and of truck tires within three or four months"
 Guaranteed Tire
 The 'victroy" passenger tire is ex- pected to have a synthetic rubber tread and natural rubber ply. It's going to be a good tire, according to WIPE experts. and will have 40.- 600 mile guarantee or better. That is equal to the durability of the average prewar time of 100 percent natural rubber.
 The new synt1 stic rubber inner tube, which already has been used by the military. is expected to re- place entirely tubes made of nat- ural rubber. These "butyl" rubber tubes do not leak air = "you might pump them up once every six months if you feel like it," says a WIPE expert.
 New Technical Miracle
 Synthetic rubber is regarded as one of the miracles of the war. The Rubber Manufacturers asso- ciation predicts the use of synthetic rubber in the postwar years not only in tires and inner tubes but also for cushions, upholstery, shoe heels and soles and surgical sup plies.
 Government experts recall that two years ago the first synthetic

 Washington, Aug. 2l-(UP)-The United States was ready today to do business again with Finland-a for mer Axis satellite which has estab- lished Democratic form of govern ment through free elections"
 But the prospects of similar ac- ton in other eastern European gov- ernments was not so good. The problem of postwar elections in for mer occupied nations and other Axis satellites is just beginning to plague this country.

 The present score would appear to be one win, one loss and one draw on the basis of these State Department announcements: l. Secretary of State James F Byrnes announced last night that the U. s. representative in Finland Maxwell Hamilton, has informed Finland of U. S. willingness to re- store diplomatic relations. The United States, after careful study has concluded that the March, 1945 elections in Finland were freely conducted and expressed through secret ballot the Democratic wishes of the Finnish people,"
