MANPOWER LACK
CAUSES DELAY

The fact that men III key posi-
tions in auto repair work are III one
of the 35 industries considered cS-
sential occupations. and as such
are entitled to consideration Tor
deferment b. Selective Service
boards may have helped relieve the
manpoWar shortage somewhat. Still,
most of the delays which people
experience in getting auto repair
work done are caused by lack OF
manpoWer to clear the work as
fast as it comes into the shop.
The supply of steel and other
metals and alloys allocated Tor the
manufacture of auto parts under
1.-The War Production Boards Con-
| trollcd Materials Plan Is now con-
siderCd adequate for the repair
parts demand. There is, however
A reluctance on the part of many
auto parts manufacturers 10 make
parts for old cars in any great
quantity. first because there is a
good chance of being stuck with
them. second Because parts are
now under price ceilings which
limit profits and make other
manufacturing jobs more attrac-
tive.
Many parts are interchangeable
as to light trucks and passenger
cars. and as to various makes OF
cars. But expanding military re-
uuirements for heavy duty truck
parts get higher priority than is
given to the manufacture Of parts
for lighter civilian vehicles. The
Truman Committee report On
transportation recommended up
grading priority SO as to develop a
/ greater supply Of parts Many mil
lions of usable parts were lost in
the big scrap drive, though such
ecrapping is now prohibited. Dis
| tribution of what parts there are Is
Door.
TIRE SHORTAGE SERIOUS
The one shortage which may de
velop first and most seriously, put
ting many cars off the road, is a
tire shortage. At the present time
there is an estimated shortage OF
six million new tire castings. Pro-
! duction of new synthetic rubber
tires cannot possibly keep up with
the 1914 demand, for more tires are
wearing out faster. BY the end OF
1914 there may be an accumulated
shortage of II million tires. The
only hope for avoiding transporta-
/ ton breakdown is through more
extensive recapping and the sal
vaging of every available carcass
even if it is used only few hun
/ dred miles.
office of Price Administration
and Office of Defense Transporta-
ton have toyed with plan to put
ceiling prices on used cars, but al
the present time have given up on
this idea. First because the supply
Of used cars on the market is now
good, second because prices are not
too excessive, and third because

said it was not unusual during such
trips as hers across the city to see
five or six human bodies lying in

While marshal. law was in effect
and even before they had been in

said no one was permitted to leave
their quarters from p. m. to Z a. m.
Mrs. Lawson did not say much
concerning current reports of afro
cities. She did remark that one
should realize that the Japanese
send their most ruthless fighters
into the taking of anv city. After the
city has been conquered that is the
type of men who are then in con-
troll OF it. Judging from her remarks,
she and none Of the people asso-
ciated with her and Dr. Lawson
saw anything bordering on the
atrocious. Mrs. Lawson did say,
however, that the Canton camp
might have been show camp. She
did know that moving pictures were
taken of scenes there, with the in
ternees at various tasks She said
she knew nothing about the other
camps, nor of conditions in them.
Much That Was Humorous
Mrs. Lawson related several in
stances of a humorous nature. One
was to the effect that she was one
day called before the Japanese
camp officials and sternly asked
why she had lied to them. She was
astounded by the question and in
sisted that she had not. Whereupon
the official said, in effect, You
have told us your name is Doris
Lawson. There is a card tackled tc
your door and on it your name ap-
pears as Mrs. Chester Lawson. Why
have you lied to us about your
name?a Mrs. Lawson said she had
