OFF RATION LIST
L. L. 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.
A statement from OPA head
quarters at Portland is to the
effect that the move was made
since Inventories and produc
tion appear adequate to meet
normal needs. This eliminates
the necessity of persons apply
ing at the ration board for tube
certificates.
