JUNEAU, Sept. 4 - Relief for taxi operators and other Class B eligibles who have been handi- capped in the matter of securing tires because they were eligible only for recap or retread tires. is seen in an amendment to the tire rationing regulations, signed this week by Leon Henderson and ap plicable to Alaska only. This is in accordance with an announce ment issued this week by Mil dred R. Hermann. Alaska Direct or of the Office of Price Admin istration.
 Authority is given under the terms of this amendment to the Alaska Director of OPA to au- thorize the issuance of certific- ates for new tires to Class B ap- plicants within the quota. As soon as recap facilities are avail able in the Territory, this au- thority will be withdrawn, Mrs. Hermann stated
 This is another indication of the willingness of the Office of Price Administration to meet AL aska's specific needs with the regulations shaped to fit the unique conditions existing here , Mrs. Herman pointed out.
 In the meantime, the OPA is being deluged with requests from retread and recap agencies in the states for information con corning the possibilities of open ing such services in the various Alaskan towns and it is quite possible that within very short time, the facilities for recapping will be available to Alaskans, Mrs. Hermann said.

 For End Division Is Appointed

Tn a press release from Calvin Poole, OPA representative, re- gently in Nome, MT Pool stated l that new information received on the computation of War Risk In- surance on cost-of-living com modity items requires the mer- chant to base his price on the rate charged by the War Ship ping Administration which is 1349o, and not on the excessive rates charged by Commercial War Risk Insurance Companies.
 He further stated that in the case of recent price increases on certain small items, notably candy bars, the use of pennies is the only legal means by which a merchant can make his legal pro- fit unless he absorbs the increase cost on sales of single item.
 Consumers who 7aspect price violations should ask for pro perly-made-out sales slip giving name. description of article. q9an tity and price. This is definite evidence of the price charge

 Those held are Ameri- cans, who for one reason or other remained in occupied France, pending negotia- tions for repatriation. It is assumed that repatriation will be permitted, the Ger mans asking the return of an equal number of Ger mans from the United Estates.
