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,-

& 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.

Col. 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?"
