The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-04-27
By DAVID j. WILKIE
wide World Automotiye Editor

DETROIT, April 27--The au-
tomobile replacement parts pro-
gram probably will undergo a
sharp revision within the next
few weeks. AS originally set up
ii contemplated the accumula-
ton by June l of a stock of such
parts sufficient TO take care of
the normal requirements of car
Servicing for two ears.
The program, already far be-
hind original schedules, is like
ly TO be carried beyond the June
l deadlin1. but under a curtail-
ment that will cut contemplated
output to IS percent of the vol
ume proposed last January. Be-
fore the end of the year a COM
plete Stoppage of parts produc-
ton probably will be ordered
An encouraging factor in con-
nection with the proposed reduc-
ton in the volume of parts man
ufacture is that the plan con-
templates recasting also of the
priorities schedule under which
raw materials were allotted for
the work. The manufacturers,
il is understood, would have a
higher priority rating for the
smaller volume of output.
Whether the full program OF
replacement parts accumulation
can be carried out, however, is
still somewhat dcbatable. Out
put so far, trade sources have
been informed, has been consid-
erably less than rs per cent OF
the initially proposed schedules.
Industry authorities point out
that they have no good yardstick
with which TO measure potential
replacement parts requirements

7 Tires Saved
on Blazing Car
Rest Of Cor
is Demolished

Working frantically while
their car blazed fiercely, six
Detroit youths, bound for the
fishing grounds at Marine City,
salvaged only the two front
tires from the machine at 2:30
a. m. today, half an hour after
the car had burst into flames.
The mishap occurred about
$50 a. m. as Ray Warner, II,
of 1901 Harper avenue, Detroit,
pulled the car TO standstill at
Telegraph road and Gratiot as a
red light flashed against him.
simultaneously sheet OF
flame spurted from beneath the
rear of the sedan almost direct
ly under the three men in the
rear seat, Max Banaszak, ID;
Joe Synowski, 10, and George
Jaroma. Those three, together
with the driver and his two COM
panions, Joey King, 81, and
Frank Jaroma, "a, brother of
George, leaped from the car,
They pushed it to the side of
the road in front of a gas sta
ton at the southeast corner of
the intersection and someone
vainly attempted to fan out the
flames with a blanket.
When Deputy Sheriffs Walter
Peters and Steve Morris rushed
to the scene they found the car
an inferno which defied their eff
forts to make any impression up
on it with a single fire eXtin-
guisher. Cars Of curious pGssers-
by were parked in the area and
their occupants were standing
fweH E.scS' from the blazing 'caT
in the expectation that the gaso-
line tank would explode. AS a
matter of fact it already had,
blowing out at the side without
wrecking the car.
Then the men who had been
riding in the Car decided TO
salvage the two front tires after
the two rears and a spare had
burned. A head wind aided them
and the two precious tires were
removed and rendered to the
deputy sheriffs for safe keep
ing.
Warner, driver Of the car, told
deputy sheriffs that he had just
made the last payment on the
car and that he believed his in
surance was still in force. The
head wind blew the flames back
from the motor which he hoped
to salvage. But the rest of the
car was a total loss.

Relax Auto
Sales Bans
Seek to Speed
Release Of Cors

WASHINGTON, April 27-(P)
With sales Of automobiles UNI
der rationing tagging 40 per cent
under quotas fixed March 2 the
office of Price Administration
has relaxed regulations in an eff
fort to speed movement of the
vehicles.
The revisions, effective next
Wednesday, were made TO facili-
tate disposal of 100000 cars by
next March, Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson said. I'm
der those plans $4,000 cars
then would be left in a govern
ment stock pile.
While the regulations do not
change classification of persons
eligible to buy new automobiles,
the new system is designed to
make it easier for eligible per-
sons TO establish such need.
Eligible to purchase new cars
under rationing are physicians,
nurses, veterinarians, ministers,
workers in war plants or on
farms, federal, state and local
government employees, taxi driv-
ers, travelling statesmen and
wholesale deliverers of newspa-
pers.
Under the new regulations
any one of the following condi-
tons is acceptable as proof of
need:
/. That the applicant must
travel quickly and would be bet
ter able to do SO by automobile
than by other means Of trans
portation.
2. That he must transport pas
sengers or heavy or bulky tools
or materials.
3. That he would have 10
spend at least one and one half
hours in going to and from work
without a car, and could save As
minutes by using one.
4. That without car he would
have to walk at least three
miles in going anC coming from
work.
5. That his work is arduous, or
his hours unusually long, or that
he must travel late at night.
s. That local transportation
services are OvercroWded.
z. That his physical condition
would make it a hardship for
him 10 use public transporta-
ton facilities.
8. That ne clearly needs an
automobile because of other cir
cumstances.

Revision Seen i'm Auto Replacement Parts Program
Officer Plays
Role of Good
Samaritan

Just as one Good Samaritan
to another, Deputy Sheriff Ar
thur Swain played Solomon
Sunday morning i'm arbitrating a
slight misunderstanding between
two cousins, one of whom had
sought 10 play Good Samaritan
TO the other after a night out.
According TO the tale told, the
two kinSmen went on a hinge
Saturday night, with the father
of one with them. After so
much Bacchanal revel the faith
er decided that he had had
enough. The two others took
him home. 1t then became a
question in the mind of the Good
Samaritan kinsman whether his
cousin was still in shape TO drive
home. The Good Samaritan
thought not. He said so. Blows
were swung, but not landed. The
Good Samaritan parked the
car outside a waySide inn where
he works and went to bed. The
other cousin made other arrange
mentS for transportation home.
Sunday morning dawn c d
bright and lovely, just right for
a little auto ride.
Cousin No. 2 would have so
much enjoyed taking his wife
and children motoring but the
Good Samaritan had the car.
SO Cousin No. ., incensed at
the aggraVatlon, called the Shcr-
ifs office and said that the
Good Samaritan had stolen his
car.
Deputy Sheriff Harold Engel-
man called the wayside inn
where the Good Samaritan
works and th4 Good Samaritan
readily admitted doing his cous-
in what he considered to be a
good turn in saving him from
possibly being picked up for
drunken driving.
Deputy Sheriff Engelmsn dis
patched Deputy Sheriff Swain
as mediator.
Swain went TO the wayside
place, ascertained that the Good
Samaritan had done what he had
done with the best of intentions.
So Swain decided TO play Boy
Scout himself, had the Good
Samaritan drive his cousins car
back 10 him and then brought
the Good Samaritan back TO the
scene of his labors in the sher-
ifs car.
The cousin agreed TO call il
quits.
The moral is that, when being
a Good Samaritan, il is better to
fall among deputy sheriffs thap
it is TO fall among thieves.

Enlisted Reserve, starting 81
simultaneously today throughout
the nation, got under way in the
Wisconsin Michigan area to-
night with a mass meeting of
students at Marquette Univer-
sly.
Lieut.. Col. Joseph II. Carr
and Lieut.. Rondel l.. Cox, both
of Mitchei Field, N. Y, address
ed the young men OF the Mil

what degree of restriction il
likely 10 be imposed upon car
use during the war emergency.
Against the probability Of 4
greater limitation on -essen-
tial use, they explain, Is the GER
tainty that war worker transpor-
tation is going to impose q SUBJ
stantial demand upon individ-
ually owned vehicles. To further
complicate the picture Is the fact
that even those individuals eli
eible to buy new cars under the
rationing program are not taking
advantage of their opportunities.
In any case, the bulk of essen
tial war worker transportation
will fall upon older cars more
likely TO be in need Of replace
ments than newer vehicles. II
all adds up to a problem that
cannot be SO ved by simple
mathematics.
