Dewey Chides Heads

On Tire Shortages
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Rubber Director Bradley Dewey
last night mildly chided executives
of five big Akron tire companies for
warning that shortages of cord fab
rlc and manpoWer might cause a
transportation breakdown unless
drastic re-conservation steps are
taken.
Mr.. Dewey issued statement re-
citing measures taken TO break the
bottlenecks and concluded:
With these steps under way and
management's expressed realiza alton
OF its responsibilities, together with
care of tires on the part of the pub
lie, there need be no breakdown of
essential transportation
The five officials voiced their views
IN a survey made Saturday
j. P. Seiberling of Seiberling Rub
ber Co., said it would be impossible
to produce enough tires to keep
freight and passengers rolling salts

Persistent Air Survey
OF Nauru Suggests

Ey the Associated Press.
The persistent attention that
American reconnaissance planes are
giving to the little Japanese
island of Nauru suggested to mill
tary observers today that trouble
for the enemy may be brewing in an
area important to his sea power.
The Navy has confined it's COM
ment about the situation in that
distant part of the Southwest Pa
ciflc to few laconic words in two
duels between American reconnais-
sance planes and japanese fighters
The incidents occurred only three
days apart, thereby strongly sug-
gesting, in the opinion OF some
experts, that the island is under
close, If not constant, observation
by the Americans.
No Good as Operations Base.
The island, as possible base for
Japanese operations, is not worth
| that much attention. Only a few
miles across at its widest point,
it has no anchorage for ships. It's
bare shOreline precludes even the
serviclng of submarines except while
riding in the open sea. The island
did have a fairly large phosphate
industry. but American air attacks
some months ago wrecked produc-
ton facilities.
Nauru's location. however. makes
1t ideal as an observation base from
which aircraft can roam out far

movements. 1t stands almost alone

Chinese Ban Repeal
Winning Support

Ry the Associated Press.
The administration today was re-
ported to have decided to press for
repeal of the Chinese exclusion
laws and for the admittance of the
Chinese under quota.
Bills which are said to have
found favor with both the State
Department and the Attorney Gen
erals office have been introduced
by Representative Magnuson, Dem
ocrat, of Washington and Senator
Andrews. Democrat. of Florida.
The measures would accomplish
this threefold purpose: Repeal the
Exclusion Act of 1882 and subse-
quent acts as pertaining to the
Chinese, grant entrance to the
Chinese on a quota basis allowing
about 100 a year and allow the
Chinese to be naturalized.

Into MontparnaSSe and Mont
