DC. Tire Inspections
Limited 10 Two Each
Year, Van Duzer Says
Requirements Of OPA
Can't Be Met; Private
Tests Held Necessary

Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer said today it would be i'm
possible for his two motor vehicle
inspection stations to handle the
100000 tire inspections required by
the Office of Price Administra-
ton for District vehicles.
Mr.. Van Duzer, whose stations
have been inspecting tires of ap-
plicants for new tires and recaps,
said he planned to meet with Whit
ney Leary, District OPA administra-
tor, this afternoon to see what, could
be worked out. He said he hoped a
plan could be decided on, this week.
q The OPA chief had said Satur-
day night he hoped the two NUM-
cipal stations would be able to han
die tire inspections under the Ma
tion-wide gas-rationing program.
Can Make But Two Tests.
The traffic director said two in
spections year would be the max
imum load the municipal stations
could handle. The remaining in
spections, he said, would have to
be done by men appointed by OPA
at points where there were facilities
to take care of the job. These
might be filling stations or garages
Under OPA requirements, holders
OF "a" ration books face a tire
inspection every 100 days and hold
ers of books above the "a" must have
their tires inspected every so days
There would be an advantage to
the motorist, however, in having his
tires inspected at the two city sta
tionS since no fee would be charged
OPA allows tire inspectors to charge
fee of Is cents per vehicle where
no tires are demounted and so cents
per passenger car tire where tires
are demounted for a more thorough
examination. Larger fees are al
lowed for truck tires.
Assurance was given by Mr.. Van
Duzer that the regular auto in
spection would not mean an addi-
tional visit to the city stations. One
tire inspection would be a part of
the regular annual inspection, he
said
We know what the job is now"
said Mr.. Van Duzer. Its lust a
question of putting it into man days
of work"
One of the problems he faces is
getting additional help. His sta
tions are four to six men short of
budget provisions and experienced
workers are difficult to find, the
traffic director said.
Safety Tests Unrelaxed.
At the same time, he emphasized
that the standards relaxed for
motor vehicle inspections during
wartime do not apply to the parts
necessary for safe driving but only
to those difficult or impossible to
get because of shortages.
For instance, he said, it will no
longer be necessary to have rubber
floor coverings in the car, provided
some non-absorbent material is sub
stituted; running boards with turn
rubber or missing chromium trim
will be approved and certain defec-
tive parts which call for new wiring
or other critical materials will be
passed.
But standards for brakes, wheel
alignments, steering mechanism or
windshield and window glass will
not be lowered, he said. adding that
closer examinations will be made
for gas and oil leaks and excessive
smoke to prevent fuel waste.
