"The Portland General Electric and other companies in this area maintain steam-driven plants, at a large capital investment, tq meet just such emergencies. "It is anticipated that the work at Grand Coulee will be complet ed about the end of November and the output of the plant brought back to normal, which will relieve the necessity of oper ating these standby steam plants."

The statement said:" Y?: "All commercial ' vehicle, oper ators, who; also own passenger ears, are required to turn in un der the Idle tire purchase plan, all passenger-type tires in excess of one for each running wheel plus one spare for each - vehicle, of such vehicles using passenger- type tires, be they commercial, or passenger cars. "Unless this is done, the pas senger cars will be denied gaso line -rationing' books. "This requirement can be best illustrated by the following ex ample which applies to all oper ators, regardless of size: - "Assume an operator owns two commercial vehicles, of . which each has passenger-type tires. At the same time, he owns a passen ger car. If he has five truck-type tires and 14 passenger-type (re gardless of size or condition) he is allowed to .retain his five truck tires and only 10 passenger-type tires fire for each of the ve hicles using such tires and must turn in the extra four passenger type tires. ' " ' "This procedure is necessary because OPA win not issue gasoline-rationing' books to owners of passenger , cars if they have sur plus passenger-type tires, no mat ter if they are, mentally, reserved for the owner's commercial ve hicles or not." It was pointed out that truck type tires are not included under OPA's tire, purchase plan, and any excess need not be turned in.
