Bowles today backed up a
warning that the nation's stock
of new automobiles for civil
ians is down to a live-day sup
ply in normal times by cutting
the January rationing quota to
uie auiime low.
Bowles told his weekly radio
audience last night that the au

rationing is down to 60,000, "a
number which in normal times
would be sold in five days."
He followed it up by setting
the January quota at 15,300.

the October quota and 25 per

Bowles said the truck tire

the start of the New Year. In
line with that situation he' set
the January quota for truck
tires at 276,629, a cut of 13,890
under December.
