When the Japs conquered the chief natural rubber producing centers of the world they thought they had dealt a death blow to our war effort. But, in less than two years, we are producing enough synthetic rubber in this country to supply all our military and essential civilian requirements. "Our rubber experts knew how to make it but the most practical process at the time required huge amounts of industrial alcohol ... far beyond the already over - 1 taxed capacity of our industrial alcohol plants. So, overnight, our country's beverage distillers stopped making whiskey and pro- duced hundreds of millions of gallons of the vitally needed alcohol. "As a matter of fact, Sally, a high govern- ment official said recently '... synthetic rubber is from 6 to 9 months ahead of where it could have been if alcohol had not been available for butadiene production."'
