Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1943 PAGE THREE TIRE SUPPLY SEEN Lumber Haulers Sharply Criticized at Meeting of Police and Ration Heads. A crisis faces the county be cause ot the abuse of truck and passenger tires and the smaller monthly quotas now being made available by OPA for use here. This was the opinion voiced at a meeting of state police repre sentatives, ODT district mainte nance advisory committee mem bers, ODT officials and OPA tire panel members, held last night at the ration board office in Med ford. "The importance of the lumber business m.ust be borne in mind," stated L. L. Ternahan, executive secretary of the ration board, "but it becomes increasingly ap parent that demands on available tires by this industry are out of all proportion to either the num ber of trucks being operated, or the importance of the business. Some very much needed steps will have to be taken by the in dustry itself or drastic action will have to be taken by OPT and OPA. Excessive speeds and overloading, careless driving, bad roads and prejudice against using recapping are among the most prevalent abuses." The quality of OPA inspection service came in for very severe criticism at the meeting and a plan is being formulated to weed out inspectors who either cannot, or will not cooperate in all the OPA regulations. "Most of the inspectors want to do a good job," stated Clifford O. Wheelock, vice-president and manager of Lewis Super Service Station In Medford, "but what are you going to do when he tells his customer that he should have recaps tf the truck owner says 'if you feel that way, I will go to some other inspector who will give me a different Inspec tion. I don't want recaps. I want new tires'." This was considered to be such an important point it was de cided to ask the inspectors to try to solve it, and a meeting of all OPA inspectors under the ju risdiction of the Medford ration board will be called In the near future. An education campaign for all users of rubber is needed in the opinion of Mel Starnes, chairman of the tire panel of the ration ing board. "There is a wide spread misunderstanding of syn thetic rubber, Mr. Starnes de clared. "At comparatively low speeds not over 35 miles an hour, and not too heavily loaded, it will be satisfactory, but exces sive speeds or overloads break it down very rapidly. Moreover, we are at the very end of pre war first, second, and in fact every other usable tire. It is just going to be too bad unless peo ple come to realize this fact. "Pierce Auto Freight uses re caps on drivers as well as all other wheels with complete suc cess," declared Archie Pierce, president of the line. "There was a time that we were foollsn enough to argue that it. could not be done, but actual experi ence has proved otherwise. Our drivers are very carefully in structed and I think it would pay every operator 'o watch his drivers carefully and instruct them. For instance, in running close to the edge of the pave ment, if one of the duals passes the edge, the resulting load on the other tire is increased about 300 per cent and that may cause both tires to blow out." Jim Busch, head of the dis trict ODT office, said "The ODT is very much aware of the prob lem and will do everything to r I I If .4. I Uftf e sure if.

Giese, maintenance spec ialist of ODT, is starting on an inspection trip for ODT this week and is also to study the OPA inspection set-up. In addition to the men quoted, others in attendance at the meet ing were Capt. Bert J. Staats of the state police; Al Littrell of Littrell Parts company; Leonard Carpenter, chairman of the war price and rationing board and Warren Hamlin of the Yellow Cab company. MONTIE FOR TAKING . WAR INTO GERMANY With Canadian Forces In Italy, Sept. 12 (Delayed) OJ.R) Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgom ery, commander of the British Eighth army, declared, today that "the war will not be over until we've carried it into Ger many." "That we will do without shadow of a doubt," he added in addressing Canadian troops while conferring decorations on 30 men. "We must not feel that be cause Italy is out of action that the war is nearly over. That would be a great mistake."

The necessity for packaging Golden West Coffee in other than tin or glass in this emergency is indeed unusual, but doing unusual things will help win this war. ' Here is how you can help without depriving yourself of the traditional freshness and flavor of Golden West Coffee "Let every other pound of Golden West Coffee you buy, be the emergency war time package". The price of the new package will be slightly lower than the glass jar. Drip or Regular Grind, ot course! . Golden West Coffee IN THE WEST IT'S GOLDEN WEST COFFEE few By Reynolds Packard United Press Correspondent. (Representing the combined U. S. press.) With American Fifth Army Italy, Sept. 15 (Delayed) (U.PJ Life goes on about the same as usual in no-man's-land In Italy these days despite the fierceness of the war being waged on all sides. I found that even in no-man's-land American dollars were still as good as gold and were inter changeable at fixed rates of 100 lire for one dollar. Cigaret Standard But the real standard for no- man's land isn't gold dollars, pounds nor lire but the Amer ican cigaret. One package of cigarets equals six eggs or one glass of chianti wine or a bushel of grapes. One chicken costs a whole carton of cigarets Accompanying a reconnais sance patrol which went beyond our lines. I had a chance to see how Italian farmers, villagers, and townsfolk are living in the middle of the criss-cross fire between Anglo-American forces I and the enemy. I found that they not only arc amazingly unafraid of the shell fire and patrol skirmish ing about them but that they i also are ready to sell American doughboys and English tommies any supplies they have in re serve eggs, grapes, wine and occasionally chickens. Their motto seems to be "bust- nfrs as usual.' At a place which cannot be revealed for military reasons, we found an American dough boy being cared for by an Ital ian family and nursed back to health. He had been stricken by fever while making another patrol, and got lost and was found by an Italian. The recuperating doughboy Is Pvt. John Wycsilsoky of Laffer- ty, O. He told me as he 'elt the town with us that "they sure served me some good soup." I could hear shooting around me all the time," he added. "I was scared stiff that a German patrol would come m. Anyway, I feel pretty strong again." One thing the war has given them both fear and respect for the American bomber.

REDS IRKED BY CLAIM GERMANS WITHDRAWING Moscow, Sept. 17 (U.PJ The newspaper Pravda today de nounced an assertion attributed to the polish general, Wladislaw Anders that Germany had with drawn 50 divisions from the Russian front to establish stra tegic reserves in western and southern Europe. Anders also was denounced as was the late Gen. Wladislaw Sikorskl, Polish premier. On the contrary, Pravda said, the Germans have shifted sev eral more divisions to the east era front from the west.
