SYNTHETIC RUBBER
STANDARD OIL REPLY TO CHARGES STATEMENTS BY MR ARNOLD DENIED. FULL REPORT TO SENATE PROMISED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, March 27. In New York, William S. Farish, president of the Standard Oil Company, has formally issued a statement that synthetic butyl -rubber samples developed by the Standard Oil Company and the German I.G. Farbenindustrie were submitted to the United States Government and also to private American concerns in 1939, but were ruled of doubtful quality. The statement followed a charge by Mr Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attor-ney-General and chief of the Anti-trust Division of the Department of Justice, before the Senate Committee in Washington which is investigating the rubber shortage, that Standard Oil gave the butyl rubber process to Germany. Mr Farish also described Mr Arnold’s assertion that Standard Oil hindered and delayed synthetic rubber production in the United States as without foundation. Mr Farish promised to give a full report of the company’s position to the Senate on March 31.'
