Dealer Declares

Whitney Leary, chairman Of the
Commissioners Traffic Advisory
Council, today accepted appoint
ment by the Commissioners as
chairman of a board to ration new
automobile tires and tubes-con-
tingent on provision of staff suffi-
cient to do the job.
Mr. Leary, veteran automobile
dealer, impressed on Commissioner
John Russell Young that the task
are eligible to buy new tires and
tubes would be big one.
Mr. Young said he could make no
absolute guarantee of getting funds
promptly, but promised his help in
getting necessary workers.
Adequate Help Vital.
at is perfectly clear that it will
not be possible to do an efficient
job unless adequate help is provided.
and 1 would not want to assume
the responsibility unless such help
is available" Mr.. Leary said.
Tentatively, 1t has been deter
mined to create a separate ration
board. to function directly under
the Board of Commissioners. instead
of making it direct, subordinate
unit of the District Defense Council.
Officials said the defense council
and defense officials already have a
huge volume of work to handle,
without adding anything.
Just how many members would
make up the board was not deter
| mined, although three-man
agency was mentioned
Retreading Unaffected.
Hereafter there will be very few"
new tires and tubes sold for private
passenger cars, and private owners
to get them will have to obtain Ger
tificates from the new Rationing
Board.
Federal officials have explained
the new program being developed
under the Office of Price Admins
tration does not affect used, retread-
ed or recapped tires. used tubes or
recapping or retreading services.
Sales at wholesale of new tires
and tubes are not to be allowed until
a later date, when procedure for re-
plenishing retail stocks will be de-
veloped.
