Washington, Nov. 22.

The Government probably will order a 30 percent cut in civilian use of natural rubber for the first quarter of 1951, but the increased synthetic production is expected to fill the gap, it was dis- closed on Wednesday.

The

Government announced earlier this week that all of its "standby" synthetic rubber pro- duction plants will be opened by late next Spring.

The rubber order is expected to produce civilian consump- tion of natural rubber from estimated 45,000 tons in Decem- ber to about 29,600 tons in each of the first three months of 1951. November consumption is expected to reach 52,000 tons.

The order will mean that au- tomobile tires and other rubber articles will contain less natural rubber and more synthetic, at present auto tyres contain 65 percent of natural rubber and 35 percent of synthetic rubber. -United Press.
