PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1943 TIRE PLAN TO 30,000,000 Passenger Car Tires Needed to 1944 to Meet Civilian Needs. By Anthony O. D Loranio United Press Correspondent Detroit (U.R) The rubber Industry Is searing itself to keeD Dace with automobile man ufacturers' postwar .plans to build 6.000.000 passenger cars annually, an Increase of 80 per cent over normal peacetime out- cut. Edwin J. Thomas, president of i the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. at Akron, O., believes tire pro ducers, using natural as well as 'synthetic rubber, will be ready to eaulo the cars rolling from re-converted assembly lines after the war. '. Although describing the syn- "thetic rubber-expansion program since outbreak of war as an "in dustrial miracle," the Goodyear executive predicts -that natural rubber still will be an Important factor in the industry after hostilities cease. "You can't count crude rub ber out of the picture," he said, "when you can still tap a rub ber tree at 3 cents a pound." Concerned About '44 Thomas isn't concerned as much sibout meeting the 'de mands of expanded passenger car production after the -war as he is about the industry's ability to fill its staggering IBM sched ules. ' : In 1944, he said, the Industry must manufacture a minimum of 30,000,000 passenger car tires for essential civilian transporta tion, plus a minimum of 7,500,- British Surgeons Operate in Church s If y fffnJ ' LET YOUR HEART DECIDE The bright glare of a fasollne lamp replaces the dimmed altar candles In thla church near Chlunil Pass, Italy, where British surieons an operating on a battle casualty.

MEDFORD COMMUNITY & WAR CHEST A Message From the Bakers of BREAD AND CAKES 000 truck tires for commercial vehicles. .This program, he added, is in addition to demand of the armed services for more and bigger tires next year. "We'll need more .machinery, and we'll need it fast," Thomas emphasized. "In Goodyear alone, we will need 4,000 more work ers in Akron and another 5,000 to 6,000 for plants at Jackson, Mich., Gadsden, Ala., and Los Angeles, to meet our share of 1944 tire requirements."- - He said Goodyear is stepping up its tire-making capacity by converting two plants which have been turning out guns and cartridges. Other rubber manu facturers also are converting war plants to tire production Synthetic "Rolling In" Thomas said Goodyear has priorities for obtaining, most of the new machinery to convert these plants, but explained the priorities "are not high enough to obtain deliveries when we need the machines." - The United States enters 1944 with approximately 125,000 tons of crude rubber remaining in Its stock pile, according to Thomas. Next year, he said, our synthetic plants will begin producing at the rate of 800,000 tons, with 1 a3, 000 to 150,000 tons of crude coming in from Latin America, ; Ceylon and Africa. s "As the crude tock pile dwin dles," Thomas asserted, "the production of synthetic rolls in with a tremendous . surge. It stands as! an Industrial miracle." The biggest immediate obsta cle to Increased synthetic pro duction, the Goodyear president said, is the manpower shortage. He said the manufacture and fabrication of synthetic rubber requires 20 per cent more man power than natural rubber.

Lester Maitland, 45 Flies Against Huns Again By Walter Cronklte United Press Staff Correspondent ! American Medium' Bomber Base, Somewhere in England 4J.R) Big, genial Lester Maitland, who in 1918 flew against the Hun in France, who in 1927 made the first, trans-Pacific flight from San Francisco to Honolulu, who in 1941 escaped Jap bombs at Clark Field and for a year thereafter sought revenge in the Pacific, today is back on the firing line against the Germans. Maitland is a colonel now,. : : leading one of the groups of nan(j e is a loyal commander Marauder medium bombers who an(i awards lobs well done, as are hitting almost daily at the Luftwaffe's bases and depots throughout France - some of them outgrowths of the same crude fields from which Mait land flew be-winged Jennies in another war. Now 45, Maitland still carries a trim. hard, muscular 220 pounds on his 6-foot 2V4-inch frame, and he is as eager for combat with the German as when he first took up a gun and a joystick against him 25 years aao The rules restrict command ollots from flying but a limited number of missions with their men, so Maitland holds out for only the most dangerous ons. He holds the second Distin auished Flying Cross ever is suedfor his flight to Hawaii with Alfred F. Hegenberger and he'll soon be adding to it the Silver Star. That decoration has been recommended for the attack against Boulogne last month, one of the most difficult the Marauders have undertaken, .". , . For. gallantry in action, personally leading his group in the face of heavy anti-aircraii, the recommendation reads. . Maitland. whose home Is at (116 West Huisache) San An tonio, Tex., has been doscribed by those with whom he works and flies as "typical of the best in American air commanders, "He's a disciplinarian, but he doesn t pull his rank at a party, the men who fly under him say, and that's right at the top of the rung so far as recommendations go. He Is as tough as a boot when things go wrong. He won't toler ate incompetence. On the other land for several years. He start ed this war as Maltland'i sergeant-major at Clark Field in the Philippines. Now he is adjut ant of the whole group, as com missioned officer. Maitland has been known to explode on occasion, but nothing ever compared with the reper cussion when some wag said of his precious Marauder bombers: JJo you think, Colonel, that the B-26 will ever replace the airplane?"
