Ternahan, executive sec retary of the local war price and ration board confirmed today the announcement previously made by OPA headquarters that tubes have been freed from rationing. Mr. Ternahan stated that numerous requests were being received about the state ment and added that all passen ger, truck, tractor and imple ment tubes were removed from rationing as of July 1.

This eliminates the necessity of persons apply ing at the ration board for tube certificates. Southern Solons Win in Primaries By United Press Sen. Walter F. George won re nomination for the U.
