NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 21.-The
will Of an aged spinster, filed for
probate yesterday, contained an
estimated $500 bequest for Mann
fried Hauptmann, 12-year-old son
Of Bruno Hauptmann who was exc

Miss Emile Kurtz, IS, of East

for some time been of the opinion
that this lad is and will continue
to be handicapped in life, and I
should like to extend to him some
aid In his unequal struggle for ex-
istence."
Prof. Leslie j. Tomkins, formerly
of New York University Law School,
who drew the will, estimated the
Kurtz estate at $500, 900 or more.
The residue after requests Of more

'UnderstaffedH Hospitals
Are Hollow Gesture
Veterans Official Saws

Maj. Gen. Paul r. Hawley, act
ing surgeon general of the Veterans
Administration, said today that TAX
ing over more surplus Army and
Navy hospitals without adequate
personnel would be "a hollow ges-
ture to the veterans"
The general pointed out in let
ter to Representative Edith NollrSe
Rogers, Republican, of Massachu-
sets, that the problem was one of
personnel to care for the sick vet
Grams rather than hospital space.
With the Veterans Administra-
ton already needing so per cent
more doctors than it has, and unable
to obtain more, it seems hollow
gesture to the veteran to agree to
take over surplus Army and Navy
hospitals which would not possibly
be stated" Gen Hawley declared.
Two More Hospitals Requested.
He added, however, that with the
encouraging interest" of many
doctors in the bill recognizing the
Veterans Administrators medical
department, which went to the
White House for signature yester-
day. ut now appears that we shall
be able to use more of these surplus
hospitals than we had first thought"
Gen. Hawley disclosed that In the
past week the Veterans Administra-
ton has requested two more Army
hospitals land We shall request more,
within the number Of beds required,
as the prospects for stats improve. :"
The agency has been negotiating
for seven other surplus" Army hos
pitfalls, two Of which would be per-
manent veterans hospitals.
Gen. Hawley and other top Vet
Grams Administration officials have
indicated high hopes that passage
of the medical department bill
would solve the personnel problem
which has driven the agency to
borrow bed space in military and
civilian hospitals.
New Records Set.
The legislation takes appointment,
promotion and separation OF Vet
Grams Administration doctors,
nurses, dentists and technicians out
of the hands of the Civil Service
Commission, provides Is per cent in
creases in pay for doctors who be-
come specialists, provides for resi-
dent physicians and gives other op-
portunities for study and research.
Passage of the bill comes at q
time when approximately 10000 vet
Grams are being taken care of in
Veterans Administration hospital
and homes and when the agency Is
short more than LOO doctors, more
than loo nurses and more than 100
dentists.
Gen. Hawley, who is expected to
head the new medical department,
said the influx Of patients at vet
Grams hospitals is setting new rec
ords daily.
The peak of World War veterans
cases is expected within a year or
two. The peak of World War II
veterans Is expected by 1875 when
it is estimated that 100000 veterans
may be patients.

| Tire Prospects Poor
Despite Order Ending
Raiioning January |

Prospects for the average mo-
torist obtaining tires after the
first of the year are poor, even
though tire rationing will end
January /. The opinion of tire
company executives here Is that
it will be from six months to a
year before the tire supply will
be back to normal.
The end of tire rationing on New
Year day was announced yesterday
by Price Administrator Chester
Bowles. He said the rationing pro-
gram can be terminated then "be-
cause production of tires, particu-
larry passenger tires, the shortage of
which has been most acute, has in
creased steadily during the last two
months, reaching an output for this
quarter of about 100000"
Mr.. Bowles said OPA and the
Civilian Production Administration
had agreed that rationing could be
lifted when production reached this
level.
Supply Still Small.
CPA Administrator John D. Small
said, however. that plentiful sup
ply lis not in sight for several
months, perhaps all of 1916.
A survey made by The Star today
shows that the truck tire situation
is better than that for passenger
car tires. And while the prospects
OF tires are poor for the man in the
street, dealers say those who really
have to have tires can be taken care
of. A shortage of skilled workers
in the tire industry was indicated
as vital factor in the situation.
George M. Riveire, assistant to the
vice president of the Goodyear Tire
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-21

the situation will be nearly as bad
as obtaining new automobiles.
Mr.. Stidham declared that his firm
Is week behind In deliveries to
those with certificates. To q certain
extent. his organization will ration
tires, selling only to those who need
them. People with certificates will
likely get To-day leeway in which
their certificates win be valid, before
the rationing is off. he said:
The effect will be slight on truck
tires. as there is SUFFICIENT supply
in most sizes to care for legitimate
needs, Mr.. Stidham said.
Big Supply Months OF.
A spokesman for the Firestone
firm said the average man will not
be able. to get tires freely for eight
or nine months. Tires have been
selling from $40 to $50 above ceiling
prices on the black market, he said
he has been informed, and unless
the Government intervenes, these
operators will get a good share of
the new supply.
A spokesman for the B. F. Good
rich Co. factory branch here said
that tires will not be plentiful for
six months to a year In his personal
opinion. He said he believed Good
rich will be able to care for pressing
needs.
Some Washington tire dealers said
that it will be year before the sit
uation has cleared. Dealers made
it clear they will attempt. to care
for the requirements Of those who
really need tires, but that the in
dustry here will do its own rationing.
Only Sugar Still Rationed.
Termination Of tire rationing will
leave only sugar on a ration list
that once included meats, canned
foods, gasoline, automobiles, shoes,
fuel oil, coffee and several other
commodities. No early end to sugar
rationing is in sight.
All tire stocks were frozen the day
after Pearl Harbor and rationing
began January S, 1912, the first of
the wartime controls on consumer
purchases TO go into effect.
Tire rationing certificates in the
hands of motorists will continue to
be honored by dealers through
December 81, but no new certificates
will be issued after today except in
emergency cases.
CPA announced that "in order to
increase the number of tires avail
able in the immediate future"
several non-rationing restrictions
will remain in effect.
New cars still will come from the
factory without a spare tire and
white sidewall tires will continue to
be banned because this is an added
manufacturing job"
Tire export restrictions will be
maintained.

confusion" but not more tires, pre-
diets a spokesman for one Of
Akrons huge rubber companies.
The spokesman, who refused to be
quoted by name, declared last night
the rubber industry would produce
a total OF 100000 passenger car
tires during the fourth quarter COM
pared to the OPA's estimated a.
DOC, 600 units for the final period of
the year.
Concerning the. lifting of ration
ing regulations, he asserted.
This means more confusion.
Lifting OF rationing didn't make
any more butter. Freeing the tire
market Is not going to make any
more tires"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-21

81 Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, said the
key to the tire shortage is labor.
With war aircraft production cut,
the company is now attempting to
recruit tire builders, he explained,
and could use 5000 in Akron today
If it could obtain them. Materials
are plentiful, he said.
Black Market Feared.
He warned that unless OPA keeps
tight rein on the situation, a big
black market will be created.
