Tire Dealers Slow
In Filing Reports

Despite a Today extension of
the July Is deadline, only 1910
of Michigan's $500 tire dealers
have filed their quarterly inven-
tory reports, state OPA director
Arthur II. Sarvis said Saturday.
Continuance of such laxity in
filing the reports could possibly
result in a reduction of tire quotas
which might otherwise be avoided,
Sarvis said. The inventories are
used as guides in determining the
future tire needs of civilians.

Farley FdUOred
OUer Roosevelt

Most politicos think Jim Farley
will defeat Mr.. Roosevelt in the
Ichoice of a Democratic guberna-
Itorial candidate at the coming
New York state convention. AS
Mayor LaGuardia has suggested.
Farley is perhaps the best dele
gate picker in the world today
and he started early.
In the New York delegation In
Congress, however, there is a
belief that Mr.. Roosevelt will
throw in federal pressure (prom-
Uses OF Jobs and federal appropri-
ations) 10 make enough delegates
change their minds.
If he goes 10 work actively on
this basis. they say Farley will
find himself facing too much
power. Until such pressure begins
to appear, however, the odds favor
Farley.
At any rate, every one now
knows MeSsrs. Farley and Roose-
welt have irretrievably broken. and
that Mr.. Farley will oppose a
fourth term more. actively and
vociferously than he opposed the
third.
Calls rising from administration
in Congress seem to signify
they are paving the way for Mr..
Roosevelt TO shake up the army
and navy.

Rep. George Dondero of Royal

with Vandenberg, declaring that
it lis obvious Congress is playing

men defended the action.
Most vehement was Rep. John
Dingell, who said the House
wanted checks issued to depend

after the act became law, while
the Senate proposed a three

AT the insistence of the army

Dingell wrote from Washington.
