ak's quota has not been higher than 4 tires per month since July for grade one tires. Quotas are no longer given on grade three tires. The local board does not fix the quota. Each towns quota is fixed by the Territorial rationing executive on the basis of the total Territorial allot- meut.
 "Local boards rule only on the eligibility of the applicant and not on the essentiality of the service and should refuse tires to any person who violates any of the regulations Any per- son claiming to pay $lO0 for tires Is buying on the black  market.
 "We solicit the support of your paper in putting a stop to such practices. We can lose this war through waste of rubber. Your taxi men should realize we have a war to wln. Only es- sentlal transportation needs should be met and pleasure drlv- ing should be discontioned as a patriotic duty.

The tide in the channel was flowing north and they said he was about 60 feet away from the boats.
 Lorentson and Norton launch ed a dory and rowed out to him. They said they were almost within 5 feet of the struggling man when they reached out with a pike pole in an attempt to get hold of him but then he went down before they could and did not reappear.
 Under the direction of deputy U. s. Marshal Paul Herring drag glng operations were undertaken but the body has not been re- covered.

Charges
 Answered.

Charges made locally by taxi operators that the actions of the local OPA board in allocating tres are responsible for hardship cases in carrying on their busi- ness were answered today by a wire from Mildred Hermann, Alaska director of the OPA at Juneau. Representations were made by local drivers to the Mirror and 8 wire outlining them was sent to the main office at Juneau, which replied that tire and tube quotas throughout Alaska and the U. s. have been cut drastically the past year and that "taxi men should realize we have a war to win and only essential transportation needs should be met"
 Sent to Juneau in the wire were the following representa- tons:
 1. That the local board is causing hardshipS by not allot- ting sufficient tires.
 2. That local board arbitra- Fily decides taxis are unessential and that previous quota of over 30 tires monthly for KOdiaK has been cut to ? monthly through prejudice local board.
 5. Injustice being done to an essential defense transportation.
 4. One driver said he was forced to pay $l00 each for tires to keep in business.
 5. Do local boards have right to decide essentiality of taxis as group?
 6. What are reasons for dras- tic cut in tire allotment?
 The answering wire is printed below in full:
 Fire and tube quotas for all Alaska have been sharply reduc- ed during the past year and the same situation prevails through out the United States. The rub Der stOekpile is dangerously low.
 Alaska quotas are allotted on the basis of population. Kodi-

10 Condidotes File

With hing for the coming election of April 4 closing at midnight next Monday, March 20, first candidates put in their appearances tbis week.
 First to file was Leo Tyler, owner of the Kodiak Amuse- ment company, operator of a. musement machines, who signi- fled Monday his intention of running for councilman. This is his first appearance in the politi- cal field.
 On Wednesday candidates nominated at a caucus held Sunday were filed, with nomi- nees for mayor, 4 councilmen and treasurer.
 Put up for mayor is Emil Knudsen, owner of the Kodiak Fountain; for counciImen- Charles Hopp, building con- tractor and former councilman Warren A. Taylor, attorney and former city attorney, who is also @ candidate on the Demo- cratic ticket as territorial repre- sentative in the coming primar- ies; w. A "Pat" Cannon. part ner in Christy's Bakery; and James Martz, manager of the Island Fountain. For treasurer, O. A Torgerson, incumbent, president of the Bank of Kodiak.
 For school board the group nominated Charles Madsen and B. H. Palmer, Jr.
 This group chose the name of Non-Partisan Party and claims to be the only political group in existence whose entire platform is included in it's slogan: Econ omy and Harmony in City Gov ernment".
 At the meeting, with Harry c. Christopherson officiating as chairman and Howard L. Keel CT as secretary, no punches were pulled as every nominee was thoroughly discussed before the candidates were chosen. Unlike most caucuses where candidates are as a rule chosen from among those present the Non-Partisan group secured the town for those they felt best suited to the positions open and 5 of the candidates were not even pre- sent when their names were discussed.
 Paul Johnson, employed at the Mems Store, filed yesterday as independent candidate for coun- cilman. Charles Madsen an nounced also yesterday that he had withdrawn as a candidate for the school board.
 Other filings are expected be- fore the deadline next Monday at midnight.
