OUR TIRE SHORTAGE

Well, the ban on tire sales went into effect all
over Alaska last weekend as mayors of territorial
cities we're made tire rationing officers in group
of appointments by Gov. Gruening
The tire ban will exist until after January 4,
according to Leon Henderson, administrator of the
Office of Price Administration, and will be lifted
only when a rationing plan is perfected. Basic
framework for this rationng program is in
outline form 1t will generally speaking, ban the
purchase of new tires for ordinary passenger cars
1t will cut down on the number of tires which may
be purchased for trucks. 1t will stabilize tire prices
and will also establish sort of control the
purchase Of rereaded tires and the retreading of
tires
The regulations will be based largely on issuing
tires only to vehicles required for the maintenance
of public health and safety. We not told just
how is be decided just which vehicles will be in
cluded in this category. We presume that doctor

local rationng boards to be set up and it will
be up to tire purchasers to show these boards that
they fall within the eligible groups and that it is
essential for them get tires for the safe operation
OF their vehicles.
In explaining the need to our present
rubber supply Henderson declared last week:
Spread of the to the East Indies area
threatens the future importation of rubber into this
country. Approximately so percent Of crude rubber
comes from land already occupied being
invaded by the japanese Another 43 percent comes
from the adjacent Dutch and British islands of Su-
matra Java, and Borneo all of which are threat
ened by the japanese.
This that consumption of rubber pro-
ducts already manufactured and of crude rubber
must be conserved by every possible until the
AT the present time this country has on hand
substantial stockpie of crude rubber and large in
ventories of manufactured goods held by producers
and dealers.
However, expanding needs of the military forces
plus the uncertainty over the possibility of getting
further imports make it imperative at this time
that cut down civilian consumption to not

clouds of war, the Sun of peace is
shining with marvellous promises

BUS CHILDREN
PROVIDED FOR

Parents of children who ride on
the BUSES to school may now rest
assured that each and every child
will be provided with a place to
stay in the event an emergency
should make bus service impossible.
Complete arrangements have been
made by A. B. Phillips, Superin-
tendent of Schools, to place the chill
dren in homes of friends in Juneau
should an emergency exist.
Mr.. Phillips found it most crafty
ing that the Juneau people con-
tacted in connection with this pro-
gram were cooperative to the extent
of being willing to take in not only
one child as they were requested but
as many as we're without shelter.
Parents of children thus are assured
that in case of an emergency and
the children fail to return home,
they are safe and sound somewhere
in Juneau.

This is taking pessimistic view of the situation
but no other attitude is justified in the present
emergency.
Consumption of crude rubber for production
of civilian goods in recent months has been run
ming at a monthly rate of around $1,000 tons. 1t
is obvious that We will have to reduce this con-
sumption of crude rubber by nearly 80 percent"

JAPANESE AIR SUPREMACY

To hold Singapore against the
Japanese will require heavy rein
fcrcements. All the experts admit
this. At present the Japanese have
some $500 planes in this area, which
gives them complete supremacy of
the air. This was the reason for
the sinking OF the Prince of Wales
and Repulse. 1t also accounts for
the rapid advance of Japanese
troops down the Malayan PENN
sula.
To neutralize this Japanese su-
premacy, heavy shipments of planes
must be rushed to Singapore -
rather than TO the Russian front.

CHURCHILL STANDS UP

In single Hlpulsive movement
at the White House press confer
ence, Winston Churchill did more
for the British Empire than a
corps of propagandists could have
done in a lifetime.
He stood upon chair. That
was all. But it created wave of
friendly sentiment, and it knocked
into a cooked hat the old vaude-
vile notion of the bally English
man with gaping mouth, stiff
neck, and a cane.
In short, Churchill did public
relations job which was worth more
money in terms of British-American
relations than the waning British
ex-chequer could pay for today.
The President opened the press
conference with an item of domestic
interest, then explained that Mr.
Churchill had volunteered to an
swer questions. This was good
news, but the 200 men who had
crowded into the Presidents office
wanted to see the Prime Minister
as well as hear him.
Stand up, pleasey somebody
called out from the rear.
And Churchill obliged. He not
only stood up, but he climbed upon
his chair SO that he could be
seen, over the heads of the front
row, by every newsman in the room
The effect was electric Tough
