0PA Sets Standards
On Irregular Tires
BY the Associofed Press

Quality standards for the sale OF
irregular tires, such as factory sec
onds, factory rejects and new scrap
tires, have been fixed by OPA to
prevent manufacturers and dealers
from upgrading tires.
Heretofore manufactures have set
their own standards.
The new definitions, effective
Wednesday, include:
Factory seconds-A new tire hay
ing surface blemishes, such as de-
fects in tread design, missing letters
cracks in the side wall which do not
extend to the cord and which have
been removed by buffing or spot re-
pairing. The tire must be able to
give substantially the same service
as a new first-quality tire.
Factory rejects-A new tire hay
ing pinched beads, small separation
of ply or tread, foreign matter cured
into the carcass or other minor de-
fects which can be repaired salts
factorily for road use on automo-
biles.
Scrap tires-A tire having badly
buckled plies due to creased airbags
plies omitted, beads two thirds OF
less of the intended width, one ply
of the tire soft or spongy, or other
defects which render the tire unfit
for road use.

wyatt Housing Policy
Given Full Support
|At W ConcIave
By Robert ]. Lewis

Wesley D. Pearce, national hous-
ing officer of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, said last night the
VFW encampment in Boston last
week had given all-out support to
the policies of Housing Administra-
tor Wilson w. Wyatt.
On his return to Washington, Mr..
Pearce pointed out that the con-
vention had supported the Wyatt
drive to reduce nonresidential con-
struction and had backed him in
support of the Wagner -Ellender-
Taft general housing bill by calling
for special session of Congress to
consider the measure.
Declaring housing stood at the
forefront of problems dealt with at
the Boston sessions which closed
Friday, Mr.. Pearce said:
''Mr. Wyatt was given strong sup
port because We were convinced he
was trying. in the face of lot of
difficulties, to do a good job"
Action Came as Surprise.
The unanimous action of the con-
vention requesting President Tru-
man to call special session of
Congress for consideration of the
Wagner Ellender Taft general
housing bill came as a surprise and
something of an upset of VFW
policy, which had cooled to earlier
support of the proposal.
Mr.. Pearce said Joseph P. Ken
nedy, jr., son of the former Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, introduced
the special session resolutino from
the floor and that it went through
without opposition.
Future legislative action of the
organization in regard to that meas
ure and other proposals will be for
mulated after an October meeting
of the National Administrative
Council in Kansas City, Mr.. Pearce
said.
THE Wagner -Ellender-Taf bill is
a pretty complicated piece of legisla-
ton" the housing officer said, land
1t was believed that the main prob
lem to be given emphasis was the
problem of stepping up materials
production.
THE whole question of housing got
terrific attention at the meetings,
and it was the general feeling that
authority should be centered in Mr..
Wyatt.
HE was given unqualified backing,
but this doesn't mean that we won't
criticize If we think things are not
going right. We want to know who
to swing at"
Wyatt Order Praised.
Mr.. Pearce said the membership
believes the time has come to crack
down hard on nonresidential con-
struction so that more homes can
be built. Recently Mr. Wyatt or
dered further heavy cut in nom
essential construction, and this ac-
tion was applauded by the conven-
ton.
Among steps advocated by the
convention were establishment of
citizens screening committees hav-
ing authority over both housing and
nonho,lsing construction: and sban-
donment of the present CPA com
mittees dealing only with nonresi-
Dental projects. z=s @as
In this connection, the, convention
also advocated congressional in

iscite recalling King George II to
the Greek throne.
A highly placed source told a
correspondent the Greek govern
ment has the determination
strength and power to crush and
eliminate any activity by we'll
known anarchists and antinational
elements. And at that moment no
one will dare disturb the national
unity, and let those who think
differently bear this in mind"
The measure, aimed at disorders
which have cost hundreds of lives
in recent months, originally applied
TO Macedonia, Thessaly and Epirus
but now covers all the mainland of
Greece in the Peloponnesus.
The Leftist National Liberation
Front (EAM announced 1t stood
shoulder to shoulder with the royal
ist-dominated government in resist
ing any attempts to deprive Greece
Of territory she considers hers.
Silent on EAM Revolt.
Later, in news conference
Communist Demetrius Partsalides
secretary general of the EAM, ex-
pressed the opinion that if Greece
were attacked the royalist govern
ment should be overthrown and an
other should be formed which "ac-
cording to our opinion is able to
defend our interests and territorial
integrity"
Asked if the EAM would lead a
revolution against the government,
Partsalides did not answer either
yes or no, but said that If the ma
ton were under attack from for
eign power, every pressure of the
Greek people would be to overthrow
the government" The EAM earlier
issued statement saying it would
not recognize the results of the pleb-
iscite on the monarchy because it
said fraud and terrorism existed
prior to and on the day of the
voting.
The Fam said that royalist gov
ernment terrorism had included Al
executions, I'll assassinations, 1900
deportations, 5000 arrests and jail
ing of 10000 resistance fighters.
Partsalides said "the king must not
come back" and that the only solu-
ton would be formation of q gov
ernment by all political parties ex-
cluding the Fascists, with the new
government to prepare for free elec-
tions and a vote on the regime"
May Protest to Tito.
The Greek government, mean
while, considered protesting to Yugo-
slav Premier Marshal Tito over the
downing of Greek military plane
across the Yugoslav frontier.
The official Yugoslav news agency
Tanjug said two other Greek planes
attempted to destroy the craft "in
order to obliterate evidence of vio-
lation of Yugoslav territory" and
were repelled.
Gn London an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Athens said
the pilot of the downed Spitfire,
1t. George Tangalakis, once risked
his life for Tito during the war
and held the Yugoslav Military
Cross. 1t said that in 1914 Tanga-
