SO (IP) The battle over priorities for synthetic rubber plants one of the capitals hottest controversies apparently was settled today With a directive from Donald M. Nelson, war production board chairman, giving top preference to 43.6 per cent of the program. This did not mean cancella tion of the remaining 56.4 per cent of the construction pro gram, however. The rest of the construction Is expected to go ' ahead later. Simultaneous erec tion of all the factories was not contemplated even in the orig lnal plans. ' Nelson's order, reported by hiah officials who could not be quoted, assured annual produc tion of 452,000 tons 01 synmeuc rubber, asainst a total of 1,037,- 000 tons recommended by the Baruch committee last fall. All but 17,000 tons will be punas, the type required for military and civilian transport. Hits Snag Rubber Administrator William M. Jeffers, who hadtaken the Baruch reoort as his ..-"Bible, originally had demanded 65 to 70 per cent of the program, de claring that goal should be met to avert a ' catastropne in mili tary and Industrial transporta tion." Later he pared nis ngures to 55 per cent and, finally, to 49 tt per cent as the "irreducible minimum. Jeffers fight for rubber pri orities ran head on into the army end navy programs for produc tion of aviation i gasoline and construction of escort vessels y combat nazi submarines. All of the programs require many of the same items, Including neat exchangers and valves. F IV E W S from HOME SdKote Xotet Hereafter, b each Sstar- day's paper, a brief romut-ap of the week's ..
