Scrap Rubber Total Put
Well Above 334,293 Tons

Inventories in the scrap rubber
drive show the present total to be
substantially in excess of the 334 1893
tons reported to President Roosevelt
as of July 3, according to William
r. Boyd, jr., chairman of the Petro-
leum Industry War Council. The
actual collection figure in the Ma
tion-Wide campaign will be an
nounced by President Roosevelt.
The petroleum industry has been
the spearhead of the drive" Mr..
Boyd said. Its manpower and facili-
ties have done little else the past
26 days except receive and collect
rubber It's funds have been used to
pay penny pound to anyone who
did not wish to donate.
"One thing is certain: The Ameri-
can people have responded to the
Presidents s cali for rubber, and every
one who contributed anything to the
drive can be assured that he per-
formed a patriotic service to his
country"
Rubber collections will be moved
from bulk storage plants to Govern
ment-owned stockpiles at once, and
reclaiming plants will draw on these
reserves.

they choose, transfer theirs to an
installment-paying basis, provided
the merchant agrees.
But, beginning today, accounts
dating back to May or earlier-not
including purchases made on spe-
cific terms-which remain unpaid
are frozen" until paid under the
revised rules of Regulation w, issued
by the Federal Reserve Board. June
payments will not become delin-
quent until August 10-and so on.
Merchants Must Obey.
1t does not matter whether the
balance is $3.50 or 81. The effect is
identical. And it's no use for a Gus
toner to exclaim indignantly, why.
I've been charging things at this
store for IS years and my credit was
never questioned" His credit is not
being questioned. The merchant
simply is obeying regulation which
leaves him no choice.
If, however, the customer did not
find it feasible to pay in full by the
deadline last night. he could have
and still can make other arrange
ments which will comply with the
new law. He may transfer the de-
linquent balance or the whole &C
count to an installment plan.
To convert an ordinary charge ac-
count into installment credit. the
purchaser and merchant must sign
a written agreement on terms.
May Restore Good Standing.
The Federal Reserve Board says
an account in default may be re-
stored to good standing if the pur-
chaser enters into "a written agree
ment in good faith to pay the
amount in default within a period
OF six months or less from the date
Of such agreement by substantially
equal installment payments of not
less than IS per month or $125 a
week at substantially equal intervals
not exceeding one month"
The monthly or weekly payments,
naturally, must be sufficient to re-
tire the delinquent balance in six
months. The installments men,
toned merely are minimum require
ments, which will. of course, pay up
some past-due accounts sooner. If
the delinquent amount were, say,
$50, the payments would have to be
SIS a month.
1t also should be borne in mind
that. since the regulations lay down
minimum and not maximum re-
quirements. a merchant may exact
more drastic terms If he feels that
the account requires it. He may
even say the customer may have no

Public Hearing Set
July "a on New Taxi
Rate, Zone Proposal
Utilities Commission
To Get Reaction Of
Citizens on Plan

A public hearing on the proposed
change in taXicab rates and zones
will be held by the Public Utilities
Commission in the boardroom OF
the District Building at 10 am.
July "a, it was announced last night.
Decision to hold the hearing was
reached after lengthy study of the
situation yesterday. The date could
not be set earlier, according to Gre
CORY Hankin. commission chairman,
because the law requires public no.
tice of at least 10 days A few days
longer may be required for those
interested to study the problem, he
indicated.
No Official Protests.
No official protest against the
higher rates, nor the changes in the
zone map proposed by the united
front" of the cab industry and
unionizea drivers had been received,
Mr.. Hankin said. He said, how
ever, that requests had been filed for
a hearing. These had come from
Milo Brinkley, chairman of the Pub
lie Utilities Committee of the FEEDER
alton of Citizens Associa ations-. and
from the Southeast Citizens Asso-
citation.
The plan proposed by the cab in
/ terests provides for an increase in
/ the rates from 30, 40, 80 and 80
cents for the four zones to 30, so
| 10 and 80 cents. The proposed
! PUG plan Of subzones with specific
charges for each particular trip
would be abolished.
Unoer the united 'front.' plan the
four main zones would be divided
into smaller parts by six divisiona
lines. The divisional lines would
be used to increase fares only Wher
the trip starts and ends in The
second, third or fourth zone. Tht
first zone is not subdivided, and tht
fare there would remain at 30 cents
as al present.
10 Get Reaction 10 Map.
The principal treason why thu
commission decided not to ''reStudy
its original order of June Is with
out public hearing was said b,
Chairman Hankin to be the rezonet
map.
If the only question had been al
increase III fares due to the in
/ crease in cost Of living and cost o
operation, the chairman thought i
might have been possible for thu
commission simply to "restudy' it
original order and make a decision
as an amendment"
But the public, he explained. de
served a right to be heard on tn
changes proposed, particularly il
the map.
