(UP1) Auto Tires Object Of Competition Lonq Before Use New York -iUPIi- Like every thing else about the car you drive, the lire on which It rolls is an object of intense compe tition long before you are traveling along the road above it. There is a struggle tor 'he lion's share of all things which go into it, the rubber, the oth er chemical compounds, the cord which will be in it. What the cords shall be has drawn interest in recent develop ments. Philip E. Robinson, execu tive vice president of Tyrex Inc., said today that more than 98 per cent of all the original (tire) equipment on passenger automobiles produced in the United States will contain rayon cords for the fifth straight year, and that rayon cord producers are working more and more on the truck tire market. Program Inteniified "The Industry is just be ginning to find what it can do," said George 1. Rounds, vice president in charge of Tyrex field operations. "We always have had a research program in rayon, and It is in tensified." A reason for the recent at tention drawn to rayon was the decision of E. I. du Pont de Nemours to withdraw from the manufacture of the ma terial. But Du Pont also had announced in August that it planned experimental produc tion of a new nylon yarn for tire cord which would have diminished "flat spotting." The tendency to "flat spot ting" which is demonstrated by nylon cord tires is one of the selling points for the use of rayon cord. Nylon cord, while long-wearing and tough, has a tendency to stretch; any one who has let his automobile stand outdoors in cold weather may be familiar with the "flat spotting" tendency of some tires; they thump when they pass over the area upon which tile tire has rested. But the Tyrex officials are under no illusions about the efforts of producers of nylon to overcome the tendency of the nylon cord, which would aid nylon's penetration into the lire cord market. "The performance and the cost of operation for rayon cord tires is very good," said Rounds. "And we now are working on a truck tire test ing program which makes us very optimistic about what can be done. When there's competition, as there is in every industry, then you can really buckle down to see what can be done to hold your place and improve it. That's what we're doing." Tyrex is a non-profit cor poration, formed in 1958 by five major manufacturers of rayon tire yarn, to promote the use of the cord and to en force production standards for Tyrex rayon tire cord and yarn.

As is usual at such gather ings, we got into a discus sion of the weit Manshot plan for integrating European agri culture and other factors af fecting the U.S. balance of payments. Then, before I had time to demonstrate my famous dis appearing act, Prim was tell ing me the story o his life. "I am what you could call an average American" he said, "I have been married 1.8 times. I own 2.3 auto mobiles, I have 3.7 children and carry 4.5 credit cards. "In short, I have everything it lakes lo be a success, and yet for years I was a dismal failure. I either couldn't hold Adenauer Delays Speech on Crisis Bonn, Germany (UPII - Chan cellor Konrari Adenauer, 86, has postponed a scheduled nation-wide television speech on the crisis in his coalition gov ernment from tonight until Friday night. There was no reason imme diately given for the postponement. Adenauer had been expect ed to explain to the German people tonight his position on the controversy over Defense Minister Franz Joseph Strauss and the "Spiegel affair." All 15 cabinet ministers of Adenauer's Christian Demo cratic Union offered their res ignations Tuesday, apparently lo enable the chancellor to form a new cabinet without Strauss. Informed sources predicted Adenauer would not announce Strauss' ouster until after the state elections in Bavaria Sunday. 'Pea Patch' Home of Late Gov. Long Burns Winnficld, La. (UPII - Fire razed the "pea patch" farm home of the late Gov. Earl Long of Louisiana Tuesday. Firemen battled the flames for three hours but the house was a total loss with damage estimated at $5,000. The mod est, tin-roofed home was va cant and contained no furniture.

"You weren't using the right underarm sprays and creams?" I asked. "No, it was something far more serious than that," Prim said. "I didn't like dirty jokes." He paused and reached for another plover egg while I pondered the significance of his revelation. "It wasn't that I necessarily objected to them," Prim con tinued. "Dirty jokes didn't offend me. I just didn't care for them. I didn't think they were very amusing. "A fellow would slop by my desk and tell me the latest story making the rounds and in the lime it took lo walk to the water cooler I would forget the punch line. "In other words, I was the missing link in the circula tion of smutty yarns. You can't imagine what a handi cap that was. "After I had been on the job a few days, my co - workers would begin asking each other 'What's the matter with Clyde? Is he some kind of anti social nut or something?' "The next thing I knew the boss would call me in and tell me that I didn't seem to be fitting in very well and that I might be better off if I found a new job. It was very discouraging." "You appear to be doing all right now," I observed. "How did you conquer your prob lem?" "Naturally I went lo an analyst," Prim said. "I spent hours on the couch while he rummaged around in my sub conscious. Finally he tracked down the trouble. When I was a baby my brother hit me on the head with a copy of 'Lady Chatterly's Lover'." "Did that discovery remove your mental block?" I in quired. "Completely," Prim said.
