all commodities affecting the cost of living" Each WRS directed to "authorize no further increases in ceiling prices except to the minimum extent required by law" To Use Powers Further each was ordered to use all their discretionary powers to prevent further direct or indirect price increases to prevent profiteering and to reduce prices which are "excessively high unfair or inequitable" The

improved outlook for replacement tires was outlined before a senate committee today by fubber Director William M Jeffers He said that 12000000 passenger car tires will be distributed through ration boards this year as compared with 3074532 in 1942 He listed truck and bus tire requirements at 7- 300000 for 1943 as compared with 3525000 distributed in 1942 Jeffers also said that the quality of camelback the recap material Is to be improved In the near future by the addition of synthetic to the scrap reclaim now used L D Tompkins assistant deputy rubber director added that the average condition of tires on the 28000000 motor vehicles in America on the downgrade since December 1941 Is now on a slow upgrade "I've been criticized for my optimism" said Jeffers "and discovered there are more rubber experts in Washington than there are fleas on a dog but I'll repeat what I have said before—the American economy is going to ride on rubber through the war without Interfering with military requirements "To furnish the required 12000- 000 passenger car tires this year we have a stock of 7000000 prewar tires and of victory tires made of reclaim We're going to make 5000000 more tires entirely of synthetic 1 don't think much of the scrap rubber tires we have made and we have a use for our scrap in making recaps "The truck tire problem is tougher because we have not been able to design a heavy carric?r without using substantial quantities of natural rubber mixed with the synthetic Our stock pile of natural rubber Is continuing to dwindle and it must be protectO for the use of the military "On the synthetic side we're doing all right By the first of the year plants will be completed with capacity to produce 850000 long tons (2200 pounds per ton) House Hears Clash on Bill
