RUBBER SUPPLY
ADEQUATE FOR
CIVILIAN NEEDS

New York-"In March of this
year, all of the synthetic rubber
plants in the United States
should be in operation and as
soon as they get up to capacity
production they should be turn
ing out synthetic rubber at the
rate of a million tons a year."
Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., Chair
man of The Firestone Tire &
Rubber Company, declared here
last week in an address on Rub
Der and Defense" before several
hundred business and financial
leaders at the February meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce of
the State of New York.
Under these circumstances"
he said, lit appears that there
will be an ample supply of rub
Der to meet all essential civilian
needs without rationing rubber
products and, at the same time,
to fulfill all of our defense re-
quirements."
He warned that further con-
servation may become necessary
if World War III should break
out, if more serious trouble
should develop in the rubber pro-
ducing areas of the Far East.
or if greater expansion of our
defense needs becomes impera
tive"
Mr.. Firestone pointed out that
motorists were fortunate be-
cause there had never been sc
many good tires on the 35,000,-
900 motor vehicles on the road.
He attributed this condition tc
the recent high rate of new au-
tomobile production and the tre-
mendous sale of replacement
tires in 1880"

with a mauling punch and
~dleweight title today after
Robinson.
The 23-year-old Turpin, whose
15-round victory was one of the
biggest upsets in ring history and
who had never gone more than
eight rounds before, will defend
his crown against Robinson in a
New York baseball park late in
September.
The dusky Briton snatched the
crown from Robinson on points
with a savage, slashing attack
that rocked the 31-year-old New
York fighter back on his heels
and pointed up his poor condition.
Though Robinson had been ia
vored to win the fight by odds as
long as five to one, the former
British navy cook, with only 43
professional bouts to his credit,
opened with a rush that kept the
American back-peddling and COW
ering up for half the fight.
Ironically, it was Robinson's
first defense of the 160- pound
title that he had won from Jake
