In spotlight as house committee considers tax revision. Washington, D.C., Nov. 4. Lovell Parker, (right) tax expert of the Treasury, appeared before the House Ways and Means Sub-Committee today as it began consideration of a general revision of the Federal Revenue Structure. Parker is shown talking to Rep. Frank H. Buck of California, a member of the committee who reported today that he has found wide-spread opposition to the revision of the undistributed profits tax, chiefly because it prevents new corporations from organizing, hampers expansion by old ones, and fail to provide an exemption cushion for those suffering from debt. 11/4/37

Bantam, Connecticut. While Patsy DiGiovanni puts kapok through the filler machine, which fluffs it out, Chet Wash is stuffing the back cushion of bomber pilot's seat in the upholstery shop of the Warren McArthur Corporation.

Adding tread rubber stock. When the fabric carcass has been built to the proper number of layers and cushion rubber has been added under the tread, the thick, extra tough tread rubber is added, having been molded to the proper shape by extrusion in a previous operation. Mechanical guides help this builder to put the tread on absolutely straight, so the tire will be in perfect balance. Firestone (General Tires), Akron, Ohio

Putting tire into curing mold. From the vacuum expander, the potential new truck tire is taken to this "watch-case" curing mold in which it is baked under high heat and pressure for a long time. The exact time and temperature varies with the type and size of tire. The airbag inside the carcass is filled with live steam during this process so that heat is added from both inside and out. The mold contains the tread pattern, or design, as well as all markings which will appear on sidewall. Under this heat and pressure the rubber turns semi-liquid, and flows into every crevice, completely bonding the rubber processed fabric carcass to the cushion, the cushion to the tread. After this operation it is now one unit--a complete tire. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio
