Many A-Card Holders
Face Loss Of Autos
Tire Inspection Stations Swamped With Last-Minute
Applicants for Certificates; OPA Inspectors
Plan Check on Local Drivers

Waterbury's 76 accredited tire in
spection stations today were eXper-
fencing a rush which made 1t APP
pear probable that many A-card
holders would be turned away at
the close of business without the
certificates necessary to keep their
cars on the road under the OPA in
spection program. Lawrence A. St.
Louis, chairman Of the OPA tire re-
capperS committee for Waterbury
and Litchfield County said inspec-
ton stations were literally swamp
ed' with last minute applicants
hurrying to beat the deadline.
Unless A card holders can pro-
duce signed inspection certificates,
they face the prospect of putting up
their cars for the duration. Today
is the final day of the inspection
period. Mr.. st. Louis said the situa-
ton was the same throughout the
city, with inspectors who had no
particular rush of applicants at any
time during the period faced with
more work than they can handle to-
day.
He said he could give no esti-
mate on the number of cars already
checked by local inspectors, but
that the 76 official stations were
estimated by OPA officials to be able
TO take care of approximately 300
cars each during the inpection per-
iod. Howeve, there was no way OF
guaranteeing the same ratio to each
dealer, and as a result, he pointed
out, some of the stations are bur-
denied with diSproportionately
large number Of applicants.
In one of the large central in
spection stations, approximately L.
600 certificates have been issued
since the beginning of the period,
and the manager Of the establish
ment that this total would be in
creased by another hundred at the
end of the days business.
And If we're going to take care
of them all. III have to drop every
thing else and pitch in." he said.
"B" and "C"' card holders, whose
deadline was February 20, were ask
ed to show their certificates when
renewing gasoline ration books. and
the same procedure will be followed
for A card drivers. Failure to pro-
duce a signed certificate means a
renewal will be refused. Meantime,
1t is understood, OPA inspectors will
make check in the city Of A driv-
erS.

BANKS GRANTED
VINO EXTENSION
Compliance With 48-HOur
Minimum Work Week
Order Over to April Is

Banks have been granted an eX-
tension TO April Is for complying
with the 48-hour minimum work
week order, Mrs. Mary M. Dewey,
deputy director of the War Manpow-
er Commission for the Waterbury
area, announced today. Very few
other exceptions to the law. which
takes effect tomorrow, have been
granted, the director stated. adding
that the response and compliance Of
employers have been very pleasing
The temporary exemption for
banks was made because the scope Of
the ration banking work, recently
undertaken here, has not yet been
determined, and because proposal
for keeping banks open one night
each week as an aid to war workers
is under study. Questionnaires have
been submitted to all banks in the
state and the WINGS decision will
follow thorough study Of the bank
ing work problems, Mrs. Dewey stat
ed.
Although very few employers have
reported necessity of releasing work.
erS in order to comply with the
work week law, 1t is pretty early as
yet to know what the effect OF the
order on labor turnover will be, the
director said. There may be more
releases when changes in office
work hours take effect, she added.
Many local establishments are al
ready operating under the extended
work week, and most OF the others
are expected to adopt the plan to-
morrow or at the start OF the next
payroll week.
Huge patches Of mail arrived at
the VINO office OH West street this
morning as employers turned in
their plans for operating on the 48
hour schedule. BY tonight employ
ers who are not already operating
under 48 hours. or who have not
been excluded or excepted from the
order, must either have submitted
their new plans or reasons why they
cannot adopt the longer hours.
Mrs. Dewey was kept busy all
morning comforting with employers
who crowded the office for last min
ute advice. Individual conferences
have been arranged for employers
presenting problems on complying
with the order.
