Fl. {. Serves Complaints
On Three Big. Tire Firms
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Federal Trade Commission
announced yesterday that it had
served complaints on three major
tire manufacturers alleging mislead-
ing representations in advertising
savings in connection with sales O.
their products.
Named as respondents were The
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. and
subsidiary. Firestone Tire g. Rub
Der Co.; the Goodyear Tire G Rub
Der Co., and B. F. Goodrich Co.
The complaint alleged that the
companies advertised savings from
50 to Is per cent during sales usually
conducted in advance of certain
holidays, but that the actual reduc-
tions from usual prices ranged from
nothing to 1853 per cent in the case
OF Firestone; from Ills to l6.8 per
cent in the case of Goodyear, and
from l4.38 to 1854 per cent in the
case of Goodrich.
The advertised savings, the COM
mission said. compared the prices
OF advertised tires, in some instances,
with higher grade products and
made no allowance for the custo-
mary 10 per cent discount for used
tires taken in trade.
The complaint alleged also that
Firestone represented its tires as
proved for safety in the 50O-mile
Memorial Day race at Indianapolis
when in fact the racing cars used
specially constructed Firestone tires
not sold generally.

After leaving the Army he ran
his own shop at Phoebus, Va, for
years, finally entering the Soldiers
Home at Hampton, Va, where he
ran the tailoring shop for your
years before entering the home here.
At one time for a two-year period
he even taught the science of old
time Tailoring at the Hampton
Normal School.
A stopped, little man with han
dlebar mustache, Mr.. Ludwig is
still boss of the tailor shop, how
ever, according to Sergt Penrod.
He turns out nothing but first-class
work and will have nothing but
straight seams and small stitches.
When he isn't working his eight
hour shift at the shop Mr.. Ludwig
takes walks.
Il used to walk quite a Bit" he
said. But the machinery is just

Tailor Ludwig is celebrating his

he is still top hand with the needle
and thread. He doesn't turn out
form fitting Army blouses any more,
but when his comrades at the Sol
diers' Home need that tear in the

the job.

The Public Health Service today
prepared to curtail its venereal dis
ease control program after having
brought all the States into CO.
operative attack on syphilis and
gonorrhea in the last two years.
The budget estimates of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the year end
ing June 30, 1941, allow only
$4,000 900. It was estimated that
expenditures during the present
fiscal year would total about $4,-
100000.
DR.. Thomas Parran, surgeon gen.
eral, said today that every State
has furnished proof that it is pro-
viding "minimal venereal disease

operating arrangement with the
Federal Government.
He added, however, that money
appropriated by Federal, State and
local governments plus funds made
from philanthropic and other agen-
cies "does not yet approximate the
estimates considered by medical and
public health experts to be neces-
sary for the most effective public
health campaign against syphilis

King Supports
AS IS Tax in
D. {. Budget
Hopes Items Total
Will Be Kept Within
Estimated Revenue

Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee expressed hope last
night Congress will follow the lead
of the Budget Bureau by writing a
District appropriation bill that will
make further tax increases unneces-
sary for the coming fiscal year.
The Utah Senator pointed out
that Congress may reduce some
items and raise others, but should
strive to keep the total within the
estimated revenue yield from the
existing tax structure.
For the past three years the Dis
trict committees of House and Sen
ate have had to write new tax bills
to meet the need for additional local
revenue.
With regard to reorganization of
the District government, Senator
King said that as soon as the new
recommendations of the District
Commissioners are submitted to him
he will call meeting of the COM
mittee IT, decide on course of pro-
cedure in considering the subject.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland said yesterday that at
the first meeting of the committee
he will ask for consideration also of
the local resale price maintenance
bill. The measure authorizes con-
tracts between the manufacturers
OF trade-marked goods and retail.

sion and was reported favorably to
