Heavy Tire Production
Can Hit Essential Goal
This Fall, Dewey Says
By JAMES Y. NEWTON

Production of heavy truck an
bus tires in August exceeded sched.
ule by 10 per cent, and manufacture
this fall should meet all military
and essential civilian demands II
badly needed manpoWer is supplied
tire factories, Bradley Dewey de.
clared last night in his final state
ment as rubber director.
The Dewey statement, apparently
signifying the breaking Of one OF
the wars major bottlenecks, fol-
lowed new White House ordel
formally abolishing the Office OF
Rubber Director and transferring
some of its broad powers to the War
Production Board and the Rubber
Reserve Company, RFC subsidiary
Mr.. Dewey's brighter picture OF
heavy~tire production said that total
output for the third quarter of the
year, ending September 30, should
be at least II per cent above the
July l forecast. He added there
was every indication the War Man
power Commission will continue to
make additional manpower avail
able to the hard-pressed tire plants
Official Warning Given.
Military officials have warned that
shortages of heavy tires threaten
war operations this fall. while signs
of a breakdown in domestic rubber
borne transportation have appeared
over the Nation.
Passenger car tire production the
last two months was at a rate of
about 100000 month, slightly be-
hind schedule. Mr.. Dewey ex-
pressed confidence that production
will improve this fall so that de-
mandS of all B and c card drivers
may be satisfied.
Concurrently with the White
House order, Acting Chairman j. A
krug announced the establishment
within WPB of rubber bureau and
the appointment Of James F. Clark
as its director Mr.. Clark had been
assistant deputy director under Mr.
Dewey for the past year.
Asked to Be Advisor.
Mr.. Krug said he had asked Mr.
Dewey to head committee to ad-
wise him on rubber problems. 1t will
include L. D. Tompkins, former dep
uty rubber director: DR.. E. R. Gill;
land, formerly in charge of research
and development in Dewey's office:
E. B, Babcock, former assistant rub
Der director, and DR.. C. c. Monrad
assistant to DR.. Gilliland.
President Roosevelts new order
gave WPB the overall direction of
the rubber program. The operation
OF the synthetic rubber plants and
the carrying out of research. de-
velopment and testing of rubber
was placed in Rubber Reserve under
Secretary of Commerce Jones. The
Governments investment In syn
thetic rubber is now placed at a
billion dollars.
Mr.. Dewey's heavy tire statement
was intended as another answer to
the criticism leveled at him recently
by WPB Chairman Donald M. Nell
son, who told Senate committee
the rubber program was completed
all but getting the tires" Mr.
Dewey has referred to that remark
as typical Washington sniping."

Only IL metropolitan area

three years than did Macomb
County, it is revealed in study
of Census Bureau reports based

The list of 235 metropolitan
area counties mentioned in the
census report includes the fast
growing and important war
production centers of California,
the East Coast, New York, Pitts
burgh, and Detroit. The fact
that Macomb County occupied
18th place for fastest growth in
this imposing national list is re-
garded as a remarkable achieve
ment.
1913 PER CENT
Macomb County's population
from April /, 1910. to March /,
l943, increased 1913 per cent; or
from los, 1853 to l36,117-a nu-

The combined populations OF
Netroit, Wayne, Oakland and
Macomb Counties showed an
overall increase of 81 per cent
during the same period, with
Wayne's increase rs per cent
and Oakland County's 4.3 per

Dangerous
FALSE ALARMS PLAGUE
CITY: REWARD
BOOSTED

With several recent false
alarms indicating that there has
been no abatement of this dam
gerous nuisance, the city's Pub
lie Safety Department today
called further attention to the
standing reward of 500 to any
one bringing about the arrest
and conviction of the culprits.
Public Safety Commissioner
Thomas G.. Longstaff and Fire
Chief c. Edward Willert joined
in an appeal to the public to CO.
operate in every way to halt
the danger involved.
Costly fire department runs
on false alarm calls. while TAX
ing the apparatus out of serv-
ice for any house or business
fire which might occur during
such an interval, also endanger
the regular and volunteer fire
men who travel with speed to
the scene of the call. Commits
sioner Longstaff points out.
A slippery street, or careless
motorist blocking the fire run
street might easily result in a
tragedy involving firemen or
the general public, the official
warns. In the meantime, a gen.
uine fire call may be received,
and the minutes lost in getting
all apparatus to a different To-
cation might give the fire a
strong start.
Fire Chief Willert. and Ed
ward j. DuBay, the latter cap

claim that repeated false alarms
weaken the morale of firemen-
who are often disturbed in their
sleep or called from meals un-
