| PLAN TO AID
TIRE DEALER
Retailers May Dispose Of
Stocks They Cant
Deliver

Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson informed Acting Governor
E. L. Bartlett today that plan
has been completed through which
tire dealers and jobbers can dis
pose of their stocks Of passenger
car tires and tubes in order to be
relieved of the financial burden OF
carrying such stocks during per-
iod in which they can make few
sales under the tire rationing plan.
The tire return plan has been
worked out Jointly by representa-
tives of tire dealers, the Industrial
Council of the OPA, the Defense
Supplies Corporation ian RFC sub
sidiary) and more than so tire
and tube manufacturers, distribu-
tors and mail order houses.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
and the antitrust division of the
Department of Justice also partici-
pated in the negotiations. Copies
of instruction covering the opera
ton of the plan have not yet been
received in Juneau but are on the
way for distribution to local ra-
tioning boards.
The OPA also announced today
that it is absolutely of no avail for
a civilian consumer to apply to
the War Production Board for
priority ratings in the hope that
such rating will enable him to
purchase a new tire or tube
The statement was issued, the
OPA said, to clear up misunder-
standings of procedure that, &C.
cording to tire rationing officials,
still exist in some areas, particu-
larly among industrial interests and
truckers who are engaged in work
under contract for one or another
of the military branches of the
United States.

Firm Action

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Price
Administrator Leon Henderson said
that within a few days he will take
firm action to curb inflationary
rentals in war boom cities and
towns now housing upwards of
100000 persons.
Complaints have been received
from many defense areas of ex-
ceedingly high rentals. Henderson
said he may recommend ceilings,
applied to boundaries in each area,
to be defined by local maps and
put communities on 60 days notice
to reduce rents. If this is not ac-
complished, OPA may move in with
powers conferred by the price con-
troll bill to enforce lower rentals.
