BU United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Secre-

campaign for reduction Of indus
trial waste is to reduce the number
Of automobile tire sizes in an effort
to save rubber and dollars.
There are now at least ninety diff
ferent sizes of automobile tires, and.
according to the tire manufacturers,
these sizes can be reduced at least
rs per cent. Some manufacturers
think eight or nine sizes will be suf-
flcient for all purposes.
The department recently obtained
the views of the tire manufacturers,
the automobile manufacturers, tire
dealers, automobile owners and as
sociations. There was a surprising
unanimity of opinion in favor Of the
reduction.
With this encouragement the de.
partment, through the division of
simplified practices, is now engaged
in an effort to have manufacturers
of cars and tires agree on certain
