Tires for Clergy Authorized;
Auto Rotioning PorIey Called

Auto Rotioning
Tire rationing regulations will
be relaxed to permit ministers
Of all denominations to buy new
tires and tubes, the Off1ce of
Price Administration announced
late yesterday, thus ending one
of the. most controversial phases
of the recent rubber freezing
order.
In announcing the rule change,
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son said: "Clergymen in many COM
munities, particularly where the
population is scattered, are COM
PEELED to depend upon their cars to
reach the bedside of the sick and
dying, or to conduct services that
are essential to the spiritual well
fare of the public"
1t was learned also that Mr.. Hen
derson has asked representatives of
tire rationing boards throughout
the country to attend a conference
in Chicago January "a and Is to ad-
wise them of plans for the rationing
Of automobiles. Whether other ra-
tioning is planned, or if the tire
boards will handle it if ordered,
is not known. kilograms to State
boards stated graphically much ad-
ditional work coming on"
The automobile rationing program
is expected to get under way Feb
ruary 2, thus giving tire rationing
administrators only one week after
the Chicago conference to prepare
for their new task Implying that
rationing organizations already set
up might be called on to handle
other consumer products which may
be restricted was the accompanying
order changing the names of the
boards to simply the State Rationing
Boards.
Meanwhile, District tire rationing
headquarters announced they had
granted certificates for purchase of
new tires and tubes to 80 additional
individuals and firms. The first Is
to receive tires and tubes were made
public last week.
In the most unusual case. Mrs.
Elsie Ruth Henderson, 300 N street
Sc, a housewife, was given a GER
tificate to purchase tires of an "ob--
solete' type for her car. This is the
first case of its type under the regu-
latlons Which provide that any car
owner, after showing the old ones
are worn out, may obtain the right
to purchase tires of obsolete" size.
There are number of sizes termed
"obsolete' though the number of
tires and vehicles they fit are linn
tied
