Auto Owners Speed
Sale Of Extra Tires,
0PA Reports
Central Warehouses Get
1,483, 500 Through
November 7, Agency Says

The Office of Price Administra-
ton reported today that owners of
extra tires are turning in their rub
ber at a faster rate this month than
last under the idle tire purchase
plan.
The total number of tires collected
at central warehouses through No.
vember was 1895 Of this
number, 637,750 had been collected
bewtween October Is, when the plan
went into effect, and October 81.
A total of $4,000 tires had been
received up to November 7 at the
warehouse in Richmond, Va. where
rubber from Washington and other
points in this area is sent. This
represents a ratio of one tire for
every "a automobiles registered in
the area. The ratio in the Los
Angeles area was one tire for every
five registered automobiles. while in
New York it was one tire for every
80 cars.
Motorists who turn their excess
tires over to the Government
through the Railway Express Agency
are being paid on the basis of sched-
ule of retail ceiling prices estab-
lished by the OPA.
In the event a tire must be re-
paired before it is usable. the cost
of the repairs is deducted from the
ceiling price of the tire. Tires be-
yond repair. including those with
breaks longer than 3 inches, are
accepted as scrap and paid for on
that basis. The scrap price of a tire
according to the OPA, runs around
20 cents.

lnsanitary Building
Bill
Passed by Senate
Process Is SimpIified;
Two District Measures
Go to House for Action

The Senate late yesterday passed
bill recommended by the Commis-
sioners to simplify the process Of
condemning insanitary buildings in
the District. At the same time, it
approved another measure making
minor amendment to the law gov
erning the operation of co-opera-
tive associations in Washington.
Both bills now 60 to the House,
which has not yet acted on them.
They were called up by Senator
Burton, Republican, of Ohio and
passed by unanimous consent.
Under existing law, when an order
is issued py the Board for the Con-
demnation of Insanitary Buildings,
the property owner may ask the
District Court to appoint special
board of survey to conduct a
hearing.
Permits Direct Hearing.
Instead of having the court ap-
point separate board in each case,
the pending bill provides that the
property owner may be heard by
the Condemnation Board. The
owner would still have the right to
appeal to the courts if he felt the
board acted arbitrarily.
The bill also reduces from 20 to 10
days the time allowed the owner to
show cause, and reduces from 30 to
Is days the length of time the prop
erty may continue to be occupied
after service of notice of con-
demnation.
The bill also repeals provision in
existing law that an insanitary
building cannot be repaired, but
must be demolished, If the cost of
the repairs exceeds so per cent of
the reproduction value of the build
ing. The Commissioners took the
view it was unreasonable to require
the razing of building if the owner
was willing to spend the amount
required to put it in proper condi-
ton.
Broadens Penalty Powers.
The bill further increases the
power of the Commissioners in fix
ing penalties of violations of build
ing regulations. In recommending
the measure, the Commissioners de-
scribed the present process for the
condemnation of insanitary build
ings as unnecessarily cumbersome,
especially at this time, when housing
facilities are limited and tenants
find 1t difficult to move
Senator Burton explained that the
,ther bill relating to cooperative as
sociations merely provides penalties
for failure of such associations to
obtain licenses to operate in the
District. The issuance OF such Ii
censes was authorized two years ago,
without a penalty clause.

OF certain Government employees
from the State income tax law, to

mission for consideration, Executive
A. J. Bourbon said today.
However. Mr.. Bourbon explained,
Gov. O'Conor has not recommended
that the proposal, submitted by
Wayne Coy, liaison officer of the
Office for Emergency MANAGEMENT
be incorporated in tax revision bills
now being prepared for the 1943
General Assembly.
Affects Relocated Agencies.
Correspondence between Gov.
O'Conor and Mr.. Coy disclosed that
the Federal official proposed the
amendment in consideration of Fed
eral employees, living outside Mary
land, whose Offices now are located
in Maryland because of the reloca-
ton of various Government agencies.
Those employees have nothing to
do with the State" Mr. Coy wrote,
"and had nothing to do with the
relocation of their Offices Besides
they have added expenses in getting
to and from their Offices. also are
subject to District of Columbia taxes
and, feel, Maryland should exempt
them"
Gov. O'Conor, in reply. pointed
out that nobody could foresee these
conditions" when the income tax law
was drafted. He then forwarded the
proposal to the Tax Revision Com
mission "for consideration only,'
Mr.. Bourbon said.

16,64O Stirrup Pumps
To Be Sold al Cost
By Drug Store Chain
Defense Council Selects
Peoples to Handle
Distribution

The 16.640 stirrup pumps under
written bv the Central Labor Union
will be sold by Peoples Drug Stores
at cost Leonard Tucker, chair
man of the Civilian Defense Coun-
Gil, announced yesterday.
The drug chain was selected, he
said because the council which is
in charge of distributing the pumps
to residents of the sc civilian de-
ferse areas lacked a means OF mer-
chandiizing them.
Manufacturer Price Sl.86.
He said he did not yet know the
exact sale price. but that the pumps
were being bought direct from the
manufacturer at $l.86 a pump.
Transportation costs will mean an
addition 20 the price.
The Districts entire allotment of
pumps. 21,640, were originally con-
tracted for by the Sport Center
through manufacturer repre-
sentative at $2.31 a pump. The
sporting goods company, however,
agreed to relinquish the pumps and
rejected the TOO orders it had already
taken when the Commissioners de-
cided they wanted to make their
own arrangements for controlled
distribution.
At the time, it was understood an
informal agreement had been
reached whereby the Sport Center
would be the retail outlet for sales
If the pumps were put on public
sale. The Sport Center agreed to sell
the pumps at any figure set by the
Commissioners.
Mr.. Tucker said he had not been
aware of this arrangement when he
selected the drug chain but that the
Sport Center would probably be al
lowed to sell the pumps in its civil
ian defense area.
Area Allotment Plan.
The drug chain will haul the pumps
from the freight cars to its own
warehouses from which they will be
sent to its drug stores in the various
areas in the quantity that area is
entitled to under the allotment
plan.
Mr.. Tucker said that although all
details of the distribution had not
yet been worked out, he hoped that
a plan could be made whereby
chairmen of civilian defense COM
| mittees would issue some form of
identification to residents of the
area which they would present at
the drugstore when they made their
purchase. This Identification form
would be issued, he said. on a first
come -f1rst-served basis in each area.
The remaining 5000 pumps in the
city's allotment are to be purchased
| by the District for warden sector.
