One. expert figured out that the united: nations airplanes ‘burn up more gasoline every day i in this war than this country used. for all military; purposes throughout the first
world: war. : . ‘This is high-octane gasoline. Although production has been increased. enormously, it is reported that ‘there have been. times when training planes were grounded for lack of : this fuel. Production and consumption of airplane gas run nip and tuck. United States had -only 10,000 to 15,000 barrels .'a& day capacity when . the war LF . broke out. The : last time the censor. F porimitiod: figures to be published,. our goal was 10 times that production and probably has doubled or trebled: that figure since then. : Not’ only do we. have to supply our. own . trainers, . bombers ‘and fighters bu} when the British: and \ Dutch oil fields in Java, Sumatra © and Borneo fell to the Japs, we ' had ‘to. make up for that loss, tao. The WPB has stepped up the building of high-octane plants. There were 47 such refineries in operation in June this year and ~ many of them are being expanded. ~ Most of this aviation gasoline is over 100-octane. This tremendous capacity for making super-gasoline will probably go begging for a time after‘the war until automobile and

The reason is that the army took more nylon manufacturing capacity than it needed. The army did the same with clothing made of cotton and wool, which ‘is the reason why eivilians will get more of these items shortly. : ee.

MEMPHIS, Aug, 10 (U, P.). —Cote
{ton is being driven out of the tire |eord industry by rayon interests | which are utilizing “the wartime
power and money of the. guverne ment,” the National Cotton council charged today. Oscar Johnston, president of the council, in a letter to. Donald M, Nelson, head: of the war: prod board, asserted that the .cotton. dustry has not asked “nor do ask now” for any special favors bis only seeks a fair hearing before: cotton “is condemned and executed
|in the tire cord market by the gove
ernment of the United States.” The council asked the WPB to'dee fer any further expansion of rayom cord facilities until complete tests have proved “whether or not fure ther use of rayon cord will aid the
‘war effort.” An investigation by the
Truman committee, Johnson ine formed Nelson, disclosed that department. tire tests have fxile
to prove rayon’s superiority. Questions Rayon Superiority
Johnston specifically opposed: a request now pending before WPR that rayon cord production be panded: for the third time since ‘t outbreak of the war. Charging the war department with shifting its stand in regard te increased rayon tire cord p tion, Johnston called tenon fo the recent statement of Acting retary of ‘War Patterson that “the superiority of rayon for this pure pose is common knowledge.” “Patterson's statement is an abe surdity,” ‘Johnston said. “His own war department, with all its teche nical experts acquired from come mercially interested private coms panies, never has been able to make up its mind why it thinks rayon ie better.” iA
