SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Sit.
Comdr. Maurice N. Aroffs turn came
today to answer Navy charges that
he accepted gifts from subordinates,
among them Tony Martin, the radio
singer, in his former capacity of
assistant to the 18th district director
of naval officer procurement.
For more than week a success
sion of prosecution witnesses told
Comdr. ArofI.s six-judge court
martial that the commander helped
young friends obtain favored posi-
tions in the Navy, then asked them
for rewards. Today the defense was
scheduled to open.
A half dozen witnesses, it was un-
derstood, are to appear in Comdr.
Aroff's behalf, with the likelihood
the defendant would be among the
first.
Opening of the defense case was
preceded by an unsuccessful attempt
to have all the charges against
Comdr. Aroff dismissed.
The Navy closed it's case with tes-
timony by two intelligence officers.
One, 1t, Richard c. Bergen, said
that on May IA Comdr Aroff, who
also is accused of falsehood. told
him he had bought a $3.50 car from
Mr. Martin.
Subsequently, on June 27, 1t. Ber-
gen again interviewed Comdr. Aroff
and cave the commander a tran
script of their previous conversation
to read.
While he was reading the tram
script, Comdr, Arof remarked, With
reference to the story about the
Studebaker Tony and I made
that up because the truth might
sound bad" 1t Bergen testified.

How's Your "Spare'!

The Government ban on auto
mobile tire sales comes as force
full reminder that the motorcar
industry has been converted into
an essential war industry. Like
wise, the action serves notice
upon the consuming public that
ordinary automobile and tire pro-
duction is about over for the du-
ration of the war. And finally.
the tire shortage places upon the
motorist t h responsibility OF
learning the lessons of economy
IN driving that will give Inn
maximum tire mileages.
Those who think the ruoDer
shortage is just another false
alarm" like the gasoline scare
are due for an awakening. with
proper precautions it may be pos
slbIe to conserve rubber supplies
for essential military and private
usage over a period of two years
or more. Which leaves little
doubt that tires will continue to
be rationed until the Nations vi
tai rubber supply lines t o the
Netherlands East Indies ar e
made permanently secure.
Meanwhile, synthetic rubber
should react to tremendous stlmu-
lus. Still the motorist and other
rubber consumers must face the
fact that at least two years OF IN
terrupted expansion will be re-
uuired before synthetic rubber
can substantially replace import.
ed crude. Even now one OF the
largest synthetic rubber plants
under construction is begged
down because equipment is being
diverted to moro essential de-
tense purposes.
The rationing plan effective
January 4 will probably Permit
the sale of tires for only military
and essential private use. The
ban already excludes the spare
tire from new cars, although the
industry can get four on.t the
SEOQtlu Tires lOI SNShy SoA
allowed to sell under curtaiieo
production schedules. Retreats
and used tires can be obtained
for some time to come.
A n important lesson to o.
learned from the situation is the
advantage of good driving habits.
Those W h o learn the driving
technique in saving gasoline (slow
stops. gradual starts. reasonable
speeds, careful turns) will ii n d
these tricks equally applicable to
saving tires. Motorists will be
less affected by tire shortages II
they refrain from spinning their
wheels. keep their tires properly
inflated, use brake pressure grad
ualIy, shift tires at regular inter-
walls. check wheels alignments,
and keep away from curbings.-
