CITY BUSINESS LIKES F JEFFERS, BARUCH New York, Sept. 19 U.R) Efforts of the administration to speed up Us rubber program and to further coordinate pro duction of military equipment were highlights of the pasf weeks Industrial developments. Evidence that Washington wants an early solution of the rubber problem regardless of whose toes are stepped on was seen in appointment of William M. Jeffers, president of the Un ion Pacific railroad, as rubber czar." Jeffers is known In railroad circles as a man who "can't be pushed around." They feel cer tain that he will prove "tough enough' for the Job. After a conference here Fri day with Bernard Baruch, chair man of President Roosevelt's special rubber survey commit tee and head of the World war I war Industries board, Jeffers pledged he would set a program in motion by the middle of next week to meet rubber needs of the war effort. On the production front President Roosevelt appointed Charles E. Wilson, president of the General Electric company as vice-chairman of the war production board. Wilson re signed from General Electric to take tip his new duties as head of an executive committee of high-ranking army, navy and martime production officials. He will be WPB Chief Donald M-.
