First Tires Are Made
Of Synthetic Rubber;
U.S. Defense Aid Seen
Price About One-Third
Higher, but Greater
Mileage Is Claimed
By HOWARD P. BAILEY,
Star stall Correspondent.
NEW YORK, June 6.—Displaying
the firs, automobile tires manufac
tured exclusively from synthetic
rubber, John L. Collyer, president
of the B. F. Goodrich Co., declared
last evening that the commercial
production of synthetic rubber
could be quickly expanded in case
of emergency to supply the entire
demand for rubber In the United
States.
Addressing a group of 400 indus
trialists, scientists and Government
officials at the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr.
Collyer revealed how petroleum,
which supplies the motive power for
automobiles and the oils to lubri
cate the moving parts, now can sup
ply the essential basic material for
the manufacture of the rubber for
the tires on which the autos run.
During the "cracking" step in the
processing of petroleum the natural
gas is recovered and from it a com
pound known as Butadiene is re
moved This Butadiene, a gas at
normal temperature, is liquefied at
a pressure of 40 pounds per square
inch. The liquid Butadiene is then
mixed with other gases contained in
natural gas and with a soap having
a vegetable fat base The emulsion
which results fiom the mixture is
treated with an acid, the nature of
which was not disclosed, and a latex
similar to that produced from nat
ural rubber is precipitated. From
that point on the manufacture of
synthetic rubber follows the same
process as in the production of nat
ural rubber.
Product Named Liberty Rubber.
The Goodrich company has given
Its synthetic latex the name of
Ameripole and the finished product
Liberty Rubber. It was disclosed
that the rubber has been in produc
tion at a pilot plant for about a year
and a half. Now the first unit of
large-scale production is under way
and by fall it is anticipated that be
tween three and five tons of synthetic
rubber will be produced daily, or
enough, roughly, for a daily manu
facture of 500 6 00x16 tires.
There was no claim that the new
tires would be lower in price than
those made from natural rubber.
To the contrary, it was admitted
that under present manufacturing
costs of Butadine the new tires
would probably be about one-third
higher in price. The additional
cost, the company's experiments
were said to indicate, would be in
part offset by an increased mileage
of about 15 per cent. The greater
resistance against heat and friction
claimed for the synthetic rubber was
credited with the greater mileage.
The point which Mr. Collyer
Stressed in his talk, however, was
not the immediate commercial ap- [
plication of the new methods, but
rather the national defense benefits
to be derived from the guaranteeing
of a source of rubber entirely inde- i
pendent of importations.
United States Position Vulnerable.
The United States consumes
692.000 tons of rubber a year, or ap
proximately half the entire world
consumption. Of this 90 per cent
comes from the East Indies, indi- |
eating the vulnerable position of the
United States should this foreign
source be cut off suddenly.
The present plan of his company,
Mr. Collyer stated, is to employ
Ameripole in percentages varying
from 50 to 100 per cent in the manu
facture of tires. When lower per
centages are employed the synthetic i
rubber will be placed in the treads j
and the side walls.
Proposed Income Tax
Is Compared to Present
By the Associated Press.
How would the proposed new In
come tax affect your tax payment?
The House Tax Subcommittee
voted yesterday to lower exemp
tions from $2,500 to $2,000 for mar
ried persons or heads of families
and from $1,000 to $800 for single
persons.
After you figured your regular tax,
under the pending bill, you would
add 10 per cent as a "super tax.’’
Here are some comparisons be
tween present payments of typical
wage earners and the proposed
taxes. They are based on the pres
ent 4 per cent normal tax, and sub
tract the 10 per cent deduction for
earned income but not such per
missible deductions as charity, bad
debts, etc.
