By A Special Correspondent

Last week my article was headed "Geneva Cease-fire But No Excitement: Why?" This week the question might well be "Hainan Air Incidents Put No Excitement: Why?"

Because the Hongkong Stock Exchange took the shooting down of the three aircraft much more calmly than London. Certainly there was hesitancy on the market but there was no selling pressure. If anything, potential investors held off Afte ten year buying for a day or two to see how the situation

Synthetic Rubber Plants Will Have

To

Meet Needs

New York, July 29.

Some economists in the rubber industry here are convinced that increased world needs for rubber will have to be supplied by new synthetic rubber plants rather than by natural rubber plantations in the Far East.

Such new synthetic construction may be needed as early as 1956, if requirements rise rapidly as a result of boom conditions, or if the supply of natural rubber is cut off or reduced by unsettled conditions on the rubber-growing planta- tions, it is stated.

One economist, M: Carson, Director of the Bureau) of Research of the B.F. Goud-) rich Co., has just returned from A visit to the rubber growing] plantations Malaya, Ceylon,; Sumatra and Indo-China,

Mr Carson, according to press reports, said he was convinced that naturoi rubber output
