Boards Planned
To Ration Tires
After Jan. 5
Machinery Will Be
Set Up at Once,
Young Announces

Administrative machinery for the
rationing of new automobile tires
and tubes in the District will be set
I'D at once. Commissioner John Rus
sell Young announced today after
he received an outline of the pro-
gram from the Office of Price Ad-
miniStra ton.
One or more rationing boards Will
be appointed to handle issuance OF
certificates to persons permitted TO
buy new tires and tubes after jan
uarv 5. Such purchases now are
banned.
Frank Bane, director of the Dl-
vision of Field Operations OF the
O. P. A., suggested that the boards
be under the District Defense Coun-
Gil, since it was already functlonlng.
Because of the urgency OF the
situation and of the vital import
ance of success of the program to
both the national war effort and
the health and welfare of every
community in the District he add
ed. 1T is essential that the local ra-
tioning boards be established lmme-
diatelv and that the personnel be
selected from among citizens highly
qualified to meet the emergency.
Certificate Required.
As the ratloning program Is
MANNED by the Federal agency, no
new tire or tube will be sold at retail
after January 5 except to a person
holding a certificate issued by local
rationing boards.
Sales of new tires and tubes at
wholesale will not be allowed until
a later date, when procedure for
replenishing retailers stocks will be
developed, Mr.. Bane said. He noted,
however, that the program does not
affect used retreaded or recapped
tires, used tubes or recapplng or re-
treading services.
The Federal officials said the plan
called for members of local tire ra-
tioning boards to be sworn IN as
Federal agents, to serve without
compensation.
Under general instruction issued
bv the o. P. A., headed by Leon
Henderson, it was said very few
tires" for use on private passenger
cars would be available. Mr.. Bane
added that the job of the local ra-
tioning boards would be largely that
of issuing certificates for CONNER
cial vehicles.
Requirements Listed.
The 0. P. A. statement was that
sales of new tires would be limited
to individuals and agencies requir-
ing them "for the maintenance OF
industrial efficiency and civilian
health. These would include the
following broad classes: Vehicles re-
uuired for the maintenance OF pub
lie safety and health, passenger
TRANSPORTATION equipment, exclusive
and private passengers cars, and
limited group of essential truck op-
orators. = In any event, sales OF
new tires to owners of private pas
senger cars will be virtually pro-
hibited for the present.
Local tire rationing boards are TO
be clothed with necessary autnor-
ity to:
Determine who should receive
a tire in accordance with lnstruc-
tions, regulations and standards
furnished from Washington;
Issue a certificate upon form to
be furnished to each applicant that
the local board thinks eligible for
receipt of tire;
Keep records of all applicants,
all reflections and all certificates is
sued, and
Make periodic reports to the Dis
trict Defense Council on forms or
schedules to be furnished"
