Tires May Be Limited
To Five for Each Car:
u. 5. 10 Buy Extras
Motorist Who Declined

Gasoline Rution Card
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Oct. 10.-One of the
jolts probably in store for the
average motorist when gasoline
rationing is made Nation swide
within the next few weeks is that
he will not be permitted to own
more than five tires for each We
hicle registered in his name.
According to word reaching auto
motive circles here, the applicant
for rationing card will have to
swear that he does not own more
than five tires for each of his cars
or indicate a willingness to sell the
extra castings to the Government.
Estimated at 6 Million. 81: r
Representatives of the Nations
rubber industry say this program,
which will be extended to the East
ern States already operating under
the gasoline rationing plan, prob
ably will result in the release OF ap-
proximately 100000 tires, many OF
them new. Under the scheme as it is
anticipated here, these would be re-
stored by the Government to the
tire rationing pool as a further
means of keeping some 10000, 900
or more passengers cars rolling
The tire industry already is max
ing plans to produce approximately
100000 tires of reclaimed rubber
monthly. Present indications, the
rubber industry experts say, are that
all tire manufacturers will be in
production Of reclaimed rubber tires
by the end of the present year.
Under another phase of the con-
templated rationing program a mo-
torist's eligibility for tire replace
ments would be determined by his
gasoline allowance.
"A" Card Chances Slim.
With only an "A" card emitting
him to sufficient fuel for approx
mately 240 miles Of driving monthly
he will have little chance to buy a
tire of any kind. If he gets addi-
tional gasoline permitting $50 miles
Of driving monthly, he would be en-
titled to buy reclaimed rubber cas-
ing or recapped tire.
Allowed fuel for between $50 and
1000 miles monthly, he would be
eligible to purchase a grade B new
casing.
A gasoline allowance good for
more than 1000 miles a month would
make the motorist eligible to buy
flrst-line pre-war tire, if avail
able. If castings of that quality were
not available, he would have first
call on tires of lower grade.
A stipulation applying to all classi-
f1cations would be that no motorist
could purchase new castings If his
present tires could be recapped.

The return of all but four of the

stormed over occupied France with
an escort of 500 Allied fighter planes
yesterday and unloaded tons of
bombs on factories and railroad
yards apparently erased any linger-
ing doubts concerning the Fort

safely, it was reported.

Senate Speeds Work
On Record Tax Bill
In Weekend Session
BurkIey Sees Passage
Of Measure Before

/
An administration drive to
send the new tax bill to Presi-
dent Roosevelt before the No
vember 3 elections carried the
Senate into an unusual week.
end session today in an effort to
put the finishing touches on it's
version of the measure.
Forecasting speedy Senate ap-
proval of the bill, Majority Leader
Barkley told reporters he hoped no
more than two weeks would be con-
sumed in adjusting differences with
the House. Adherence to such a
schedule would put the biggest tax
bill in history on the Presidents
desk In the last week of October.
1--WE want to get this bill passed
before the elections and we certainly
are going to work hard with that
aim in mind" Senator Barkley said.
Not Withholding Bad News.
There had been reports that some
legislators wanted to delay the bad
news" of increased taxation until
after the election.
AS the Senate measure took final
shape, it would add a disputed
amount between $1,000, ,00O, 900 and
So, 900 100000 to the $4,000, 900 900
now collected annually in direct
taxes. In addition, approximately
81, $50 5000 would be taken yearly
from taxpayers but rebated later.
The Senate had before it today the
question of allowing liberal percent
age allowances for depletion in pc
troleum and mining enterprises, a
system now in effect but strongly
opposed by the Treasury. Further
complicating this controversy, Sen
ators McKellar, Democrat, of Ten
nessee and Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma sought to include ball
clay and rock asphalt in the list of
products given such allowances.
Rider on War Contracts.
Before final passage, the Senate
also was to be called on to consider
proposal by a Finance Committee
Subcommittee headed by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts
to amend the law governing renego-
tiations of war contracts to scale
down profits. Senator Barkley said
he was confident that proposal
would be written into the bill.
As submitted by the Walsh COM
mittee, the amendment would open
all contracts over 500, 900 to rene
gotiation If the Secretary Of War,
Secretary Of the Navy or chairman
Of the Maritime Commission found
evidence Of excessive profits.

would be authorized to agree that
there should be no renegotiation for
