Civilian Tire HOPES
Not Too Rosy Now,
Industry Warns
5000, COO Seen Available
For rs Million Cars;
May Quote Cut Here

A representative of the tire in
dustry warned today that prospects
OF civilian motorists getting new
tires. despite recent liberalization of
rationing regulations, were mot too
rosy"
The tire spokesman based his pre-
diction on several factors:
l. There are only about 5000, 900
grade tires (now comprising pre-
Pearl Harbor tires, slightly used and
factory seconds) available for the
Nations automobiles. Before the
war there were approximately 3d.
0OO.o00 automobiles in the country.
If there are only 25,oO0,oOO l3t to-
day. that still leaves 100000 900
wheels which sooner or later will
require new rubber.
100000 Recaps.
@ Only about 1000 900 recappable
tires are available from among those
collected by the Defense Supplies
Corp. through the Railway Express
Co. last year. Original estimates of
usable or repairable tires collected
had to be trimmed down because it
was found many Of the tires which
had been graded for use had to be
scrapped.
3. According to Rubber Director
Jeffers, most civilians will not get
new tires for at least nine months.
Tire men here believe tires made
from synthetic rubber will begin
coming into the market soon, but
whether they will arrive in sufficient
quantities to take care of the need
after the present stock of grade l
and grade tires is exhausted is
doubtful.
The Defense Supplies Corp. said
today that all of the repairable
tires and those which were usable
"as is" have already been distrib-
uted to tire dealers and, for the
most part, sold.
May Quota Here Cut.
Although every motorist with
more than 240 miles of travel a
month was made eligible for the
grade l tires on May /, the quota
for May in the District was actually
reduced. This means that ration
boards must still follow some sys-
tenn of priorities and grant certifi-
Gates first to those applicants whose
needs are most essential.
All drivers are allowed now to
have their own tires recapped with
out obtaining certificates. Through
the tire inspection program, they
are supposed to be told by tire in
spectors when recapping is advis-
able. Ration boards may deny ap-
plications for replacement tires If
the tire record shows car owner
ignored the advice of an inspector
to have his tires recapped.

Bill Signed by0'Conor
Ends Ban on HauIinu
OF Rog-Farm Garbage
Prince George Officio:s'
Protests on Sanitation
OverruIed by Action

A bill passed at the last session
OF the Maryland State Legislature
permitting garbage to be hauled to
hog farms in Prince Georges County
has been signed by Gov. O'Conor, it
was learned today.
The action, which repeals the pres
ent law prohibiting such practice
was disclosed in a letter from Gov
O'Conor to Robert w. Mccullough
attorney for a number of hog farm
ers who had supported the new
measure.
Both the County Commissioners
and County Sanitary Engineer C. L.
Wood had asked Gov. O'Conor to
veto the bill. Mr.. Wood asserted
that the feeding of garbage to hogs
results in a plague" of rats and
flies and is otherwise detrimental
to health.
He contended that hogs could be
fed properly on grain or pasture, as
in the Middle West.
Many hog farmers in the county
had complained that the old law
was forcing them out of business
They claimed that they would not
be able to feed hogs economically
with grain or other feed.
Visits Ill Senate Head.
In an unusual action yesterday
the Governor rushed to the bedside
Of Senator Arthur H. Brice, presi-
dent of the Senate, who is ill, in
order to finish the signing of bills.
The deadline for action by the
Governor on all measures passed by
the Assembly is today and the Gov
ernor still has few vetoes to an
nounce, members of his Office staff
said.
Some 35 bills were given executive
approval at Mr.. Brice's home, several
OF them important to the entire
State.
The 1943 State budget is now
official with the signing of Senate
bill 126, a routine procedure with
every Legislature.
The Commission of TideWater
Fisheries now has the authority to
plant seed oysters within the State
under the provisions of Senate
bill 276.
No person practicing medicine or
surgery may advertise in Maryland
with the signing of House bill ga,
and the bill relating to the packag-
ing OF milk sherbet, water ice and
ice sherbet is now law.
Typhoid Bill Vetoed.
A measure which was vetoed was
Senate enactment which was
originally written to require State
wide incubation against diphtheria
OF public schoolchildren and then
was completely revised to provide
for novel methods to be under
taken by health officers of the State
and its subdivisions against typhoid
carriers.
THE State Health Department
the commissioner of health of Balti-
more City and large group of citi-
zens Of the State who are followers
OF the Christian Science faith, op-
posed passage of the BILL" Gov
O'Conor explained.
1T seems apparent, from the
statements of various representa-
tives. that if this bill were enacted
it would appreciably affect the pres
ent methods Of the health authori-
ties in the handling of typhoid car
riers," the Governor added.

Negroes Should Weed Out
Incompetent Leaders In South

Our race should not tolerate men
men and women who used their
power as Leaders to further or serve
their own selfish purpose for no
reason other than get their pic
lures on the front line of motor
ious newspapers.
We as race should use every
ounce of precaution in selecting
our leaders, once they are selected,
usually the southern white-man and
woman call our leaders to deter
mine what is best for our race.
In most instances we select men
and women in this field who are
not intelligent enough to present
a just program which will meet
the approval of the Southern Ne
gro or White man, but constantly
advocating something which is det-
rimental to both groups. We have
good talent, most time we overlook
this group who is able to do things.
Therefore, our race is denied some
comforts in life we would be get
ting today if we only had compe-
tent leaders here in the deep South.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1943-07-17

We need leaders who will CO.
operate with the Southern White
man and woman, ask for things
which will build the economic sta
tus of our group here in the South.
Forget social equality, help build
morals, promote a program which
will lead both races to better UNI
derstand each other. When we in
the South will come to know the
problem helping each other to solve
their problems as they should be
solved, our leaders will have done
great work, making conditions
better for all as well as building
a sound foundation for a sound
peace.

"Our Sacred
Honour"
BY RUTH TAYLOR

For the support of this Decla-
ration, with a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other
our Lives, our Fortunes, and our
Sacred Honour"
The first part of the Declaration
of independence with its glorious
credo of Americanism is well known
to all of us, but how many of US
remember that the Declaration of
Independence demands service from
us, in return for the rights of Life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness?
Our fortunes, whether they be
large or small, are but low price
to pay for the freedom under which
they were built up. Without lib
erty where woul dthey be? We
have the answer in every land
where the democracy haters have
conquered a careless, uncoordinated
people.
Our would they be worth
anything under the iron hand of
a dictator? Devoid of freedom to
worship, to speak, to study, even
to think-what could life hold to
those of us who deem liberty the
greatest essential in our lives.
But the third part of the pledge
is the greatest safeguard of our lib
critics.
What is our Sacred Honour? Ac-
cording to the dictionary, Honor is
"the sense of what is right and
comfortable to a high standard of
conduct" And, according to the
Bible-"A mans pride shall bring
him low; but honour shall uphold
the humble in spirit"
Doing what we should because
it is the right and honorable thing
to do is the basis of stable So
ciety There is no security unless
men and nnations an pdendec
men and nations can depend upon
coach others pledged word.
Reliance on our sacred honor has
been the bulwark of our defense
during all the trails through which
the nation has pessed. The pledge
of not just our lives, or our for
tunes, but our sacred honour as
well-that is what made and will
continue to make work-that is
what will ever increasingly broad

encel
AS a nation of men and women
