Fewer Tires In September Washington, Aug. 21 ffl With September tire quotas fac ing a reduction from the Aug ust level, the office of price ad ministration called upon; local ration'ng boards today for , the Of 'strictest possible " interpreta tion" ; of recent regulations re stricting truck eligibility to es sential vehicles. Trucks still on the eligible list include those necessary to the war effort or public health and safety. In p letter to local boards, the OPA said the war production board, which allocates rubber for military, civilian and other uses, had notified it that allot ments of tires must follow a downward trend for the remain der of 1942. The OPA in July ordered that tires be denied to an estimated 200,000 vehicles carrying alco- holis beverages, soft drinks, candies, furs and other luxury goods. Tire quotas have been in creased monthly for the last five months to provide additional re quirements during the hot Q.veather. With a reversal of this trend, the OPA asked . local boards to consider each appli cation in the light of the month's quotas, instead of carrying un filled applications from one month into the next.

Beattle London, Aug. 21 U.B A detailed study of the Dieppaj raid in preparation for more big-scale attacks on the continent con vinced many observers today that the commandos would have achieved a smashing victory in- stead of a moderate success if they had employed dive bomb ers and parachutists. Although the 9-hour attack constituted the hardest hitting, most highly integrated land, sea and air operation' ever attempted by the British, an analysis of the raid revealed that its success was limited, particularly because of allied losses. Dive bombers which consti tute one of the chief offensive weapons of the Germans would have been : highly effective against some German strong points along the six Dieppe beaches where the raiders land ed, it: was said. It was these strong points that accounted for a large proportion of the allied casualties, Observers also pointed out that parachutists dropped around German artillery bat teries back from the beach could have taken the gun crews by surprise and could have seized control of bridges and junctions, preventing : the enemy from .1 111 MlHtlliiiltltlili til In lull 20 Saving on Fire Insurance Without sacrifice of safety. no. longer pay for the bad.

Despite the deficiencies, how ever, all observers described the Dieppe raid as a worthwhile contribution to preparations for the ultimate offensive that will carry the war back to the conti nent. United States army flying for tress raids on German occupied territory emerged as a vitally important feature of the Dieppe raid and as a portent of new, early attacks on the French In vasion coast. Allied quarters, pointing out the role of the giant bombers in the "second front rehearsal" at tack on Dieppe, said they were the greatest threat to the Ger mans after the 1,000-scale plane raids of the royal air force.

C, Aug. 21 VP) U.S. Rep. Warren G. Magnu son (D., Wash.) investigating the feasibility of acquiring the Pa cific Great Eastern railway from British Columbia, said such a rail link to Alaska would "mean more to us than a battleship and it would cost less." "I can say for my government that it feels there should be an other supply line into Alaska," Magnuson told a joint meeting of the Seattle chamber of com merce and the Vancouver board of trade council yesterday. The provincially-owned rail road runs from Squamish, 40 miles north of Vancouver, to Quesnel in the British Columbia interior. Premier John Hart told the meeting that the British Colum bia government felt the PGE could be operated ."more advan tageously in other hands."

Fats may be taken to the Sloper mar ket during the morning hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Ludwig Peterson, manager of the Busick market, in agreeing to handle the waste fats stated that he wished to give full cooperation but asked that no deliveries be made on Sat urdays, The committee recognizes that this service, due to the short age of help and storage space, is an inconvenience to the mer chant and for this reason stress the importance of public co operation through the deliver ing of the waste in quantities of not less than one pound, in clean glass or tin containers, and on the days selected by the mar kets. Although not all the markets are working in this particular drive, they are giving services in other ways such as the dis posal of metal tubes and bottle caps by the Puritan market, handling of defense stamps for the convenience of the public by the Gerth grocery and other stores, etc. Chief Directs IMmouts Lighting problems of the va rious business places in order to conform with . the dimout regulations were being worked out last evening with the help of Chief of Police Neely and the officers. .

The possession in question is the walking cane of President James K. Polk, which Mrs. Polk presented to Tom's father, Dr. Robert Russell, back in Tennes see. The walking stick, an exceed ingly heavy one, is made of hickory taken from the Hermi tage, Andrew Jackson's home, and is surmounted with a buck horn handle .taken from a buck deer killed in the Cumberland mountains by General Overton who was law partner of General Andrew Jackson. There is extant in the con gressional library a painting of President Polk carrying the identical cane which was left here today by Russell.
