Federal Agencies Put
On Same Tire Quota
Basis as Civilians
Non military Bureaus
Will Get Five Treods;
Pooling System Planned

Pointing out that until now Gov
eminent cars have had an average
Of 6'2 tires each. Harold D. Smith
Budget Bureau director. yesterday
issued an order placing all non-mili-
tary agencies of the Federal Govern
ment on the same basis regarding
automobile tires as other car owners.
The order requires all such agen-
ries to make available every tire in
excess of the standard allowance
OF flve tires for each car established
by the Once of Price Administra-
ton for the public.
Preliminary surveys conducted Ly
the bureau and data provided by
the Byrd congressional committee
indicate pproximately 100000 tires
will be pooled as a result of the
order. Recently The Star revealed
how some Government agencies
were boarding tires while others
went without, threatening to ne
cessitate a further dip into low
civilian tire supplies.
MI. Smith, in issuing his new or
der, sharply criticized the agencies
involved, terming it an "unWarrant-
ed situation"
This may be a normal supply of
tires in normal times, but it is
boarding in times like these" he
stated Il dislike to spank Gov
eminent agencies publicly, but con-
ditions like this will not be tolerated
We intend to survey all Government
agencies for surplus supplies OF
any kind and put them to their best
use
Through the pooling arrangement
which the order establishes. it was
explained, Government agencies will
be required to supply their needs as
far as possible from the Treasury
Department Procurement Division.
thereby largely removing a substan-
tlai pubic demand. and at the same
time providing better distribution OF
available tires.
The tires will be redistributed
through the eight procurement
division regional Offices on justifi-
cation Of need. Tires to be replaced
must be turned in at the same time
No agency can purchase tires or
the open market until it mas frsL
endeavored to secure them from
the pool.
Trucks, station wagons and tire
equipped machinery. as we'll as
automobiles, are affected, it was ex-
planned.
