Henderson Orders
Inspection Of Stock

Rotionine Violation
Reported; Several Small
Dealers Here Accused

For the first time since the Gov
ernment froze their stocks last De-
cember the Nations tire dealers
today were faced with strict ac-
counting of the manner in which
they have complied with the regu-
lations of the tire-rationing pro-
gram.
Price Administrator Henderson
has ordered Nationwide inspec-
tion of the stocks and records of
tire and tube dealers, large and
small.
Mr.. Henderson said first atten-
ton" will be given to establish
ments or dealers against whom
complaints have been received,
either with the o. P. A. or State
and local tire-rationing boards.
Several small Washington deal
ers have been reported to officials
as violators, 1t was understood. One
OF the chief reported violations in
the District was the practice Of
selling frozen tire stocks during the
period Immediately preceding the
rationing program.
Mr.. Henderson said a large in
vestigative staff will be used in rou-
tine inspection Of all dealers. 1t
will include members of the o. P. A.
Field Operations Division and some
500 inspectors of the Labor Depart
ment's Wage and Hour Division.
IF the inspection discloses any
unauthorized transfers of new tires
or tubes. the dealer will be required
to explain" the o. P. A. announced
late yesterday. Gases of deliberate
violation will be referred to the en-
forcemept division of o. P. A."

The Chief Executive also asked
Congress to insert a provision in the
huge bill granting him the right to
transfer any ships to nations whose
safety was deemed vital to the de-
fense of the United States.
The immediate intent of this pro-
vision, containing phrases used in
the "Lease-Lend" Act, was not clear,
but congressional clerks said they
believed it would remove previous
congressional restrictions on the
amount of this aid.
The provision was asked to apply
on all Navy appropriations since
March II, l941.
Calls for Supremacy.
Senator Overton, talking before
the budget request arrived, said
without supremacy in the air, even
the strongest navy and army forces
are at disadvantage"
Secretary of the Navy Knox told
reporters he had asked no changes
or increase in the bulky bill passed
by the House, but Senator Overton
said his proposal was the result of
long questioning of Rear Admiral
j. H. Towers, who followed Secre-
tary Knox as witness at yester-
days closed Senate hearings.
Secretary Knox said that as passed
by the House the bill carried funds
for 27,000 new Navy planes and
Admiral Towers disclosed in previ-
GUS testimony that the Navy pro-
gram now was 500 planes monthly,
or $4,000 year.
Other Senators said the subcom-
mittee would give speedy approval
to the vast assortment of items al
ready voted by the House for a
powerful two-ocean Navy. Secre-
tary Knox said this force would be
able to claim supremacy everywhere
when completed.
Most of the funds would 60 to
completing production of ships,
guns, munitions, airplanes and other
supplies and recent increase in
naval strength approved by Con-
gress. The latter included 10000
tons OF combatant ships, 100000
tons Of auxiliary vessels, and 400 ad-
ditional local defense vessels.
Navy officers testified that the
man power of the Navy and Ma
rines would nearly double during
the fiscal year 1943.
The Senate yesterday passed and
returned to the House for action on
amendments legislation to authorize
construction of 1,799 minor naval
vessels at an estimated cost of
$3.50 ,00O, ,00O
The measure would also authorize
expenditure of s750,O0o,O0O for con-
struction and ordnance facilities.
Chairman Walsh of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee said the
new ships would be used for convoy
and shore patrol work.
1t also passed and returned to the
House for concurrence in amend
ments legislation to authorize ex-
penditure of $450,000,O00 for naval
public works.
One of the amendments would
make temporary provision for relief
of naval contractors and their en-
ployes for losses incurred as direct
result of enemy action.
A naval committee report said
that allotments Of pay of civilians
captured at Guam and Wake by
the japanese would be made to de-

said, except insofar as the new en-
forcement powers vested in Mr..
Henderson may have the psyche
logical effect of dissuading pro-
ducers and dealers from edging
prices up.
No Food Ceilings Imminent.
No new food price ceilings are i'm
minent; no squirt of price fixing ac-
tivity is contemplated, and no whole
sale drive on the retail price field
need be looked for, Henderson aides
asserted.
For the time being the principal
job Of o. p. A. executives will be that
of converting the existing price
schedules-covering 78 commodities,
mostly raw materials-which are en-
forced by what Mr.. Henderson calls
jawbone authority-into price regu-
lations enforceable by law.
As new commodities get out of
line and are brought under price
control, the levels will be set as close
ly as possible to those designated as
basic by Congress.
About 100 voluntary agreements
between industry representatives
and the o. P. A. to hold prices in
check will not be transformed into
price regulations as long as they
serve to curb inflationary ten
denotes.
So far retail price ceilings have
been few, They were imposed on
new automobile tires and tubes be-
cause Of the rubber crisis, and on
flashlights because Of soaring Pacific
Coast blackout demands. In the
main o. P. "A. has depended and
will continue to depend on factory
or wholesale level price ceilings to
stabilize retail prices.
