nation is still critical This apphes
to passenger car tires as well as 10
the larger size truck and bus tires
according to State Director A. /
Peterson of the Office Of Price Ad

September Mr.. Peterson stated that
the 5.676 tires allowed the state for
September was l,178 less than the
quota for August This is going to
mean, he said, that more motorists
are going to have to make their old
tires do. He urged that every mo-
torist, before applying for new tire
certificates, make sure that his tires
cannot be recapped, as more extern
sive use of recapping would help
to stretch our limited supply.
In commenting upon the extreme
| ly critical situation as REGARDS the

Peterson stated that, while the ma.

LITERARY CUIDEPOST
9THEY SHALL NOT SLEEP. by
 Leland Stowe tKnopf): S3.)

Leland Stowe's "They Shall Not Sleep" is one of the greatest jobs of reporting to come out of this war, reporting in the grand style as good and as useful as John Hershey's more particular ized, small scale work. Top rank reporting is much more than a mere matter of ascertaining per tinent fact and expressing 1t clearly. A good reporter gets through to the spirit of his sub ject, and expresses that as we'll The word journalistic, as patron izingly applied by the T. s. Eliots of this world, should actually be the trademark of first grade, four dimensional, reporting. Mir. Stowe's book begins in China, and swings back to Russia through Burma and India-and some way stations Its best parts, for me. are the sections on the Burma Road, on the Burmese campaign" if it could be called such, and his sober but surprisingly honest and shrewd chapters on Russia.
 Stowe almost precipitated an international scandal when he wrote about the Burma Road two years ago. He said it was a rac- ket, but the censors stopped him before he could explain the entire matter. It was simple matter the Chinese either could not or would not properly police the road so that, he says, brigandage, smuggling, squeeze and murder were rampant and enormous heaps of Lend-Lease and other material simply routed on the Rangoon docks while cosmetics and other high-profit goods went through.
 The Burmese campaign was like a joke so obscene that the nearer thereof promptly loses his lunch. Stowe makes the gravest charges of inefficiency and stu pidity against Sir Reginald Dor man-Smith, the governor. He says dry rot began Remarkably at the top and ran down through the governing set-up to the army command and lower.

It is his prediction that after the war, all Europe will move to the left, partly because Hitler has liquidated the middle class one way or another.

SCIENCE BEATS
 THE BEET
AP Features

BERKELEY, Calf. - The su- gar beet doesn't like crowds and won't produce sugar unless it has elbow room to grow-as any beet puller knows who has pulled beets until he has pulled about every muscle he owns.
 What makes the sugar beet's habits intolerable is that it sprouts from seed that is a clus- ter of cells, which means it comes up in clusters, somewhat like a bunch of grass.
 Every year armies of workers have to kneel down and thin the little rascals by hand. That's a lot of labor, and the country didn't have labor to spare when it came beet-thinning time last year.
 Whereupon, Prof. Rain Bainer of the department of agricultural engineering at the University of California rigged up shearing bar which split the seed into a lot of little seeds. It couldn't be done by hand because the seed is tiny but tough.
