HALF OF IE
TIRES TURNED
IN ARE USABLE
'
, Slightly wore than half of the
dx million tires which have
been turned in to the govern
ment thus far under the idle
tire purchase plan are usable in
their present condition or can
be made usable by repairs or
recappings to help keep Ameri
ca's 27,000,000 passenger cars
rolling the office of price ad
ministration announced today.
. This figure was reached on the
basis of sample check-ups on
the quality of tires reaching cen
tral warehouses.
The remainder are so bad
ly worn or damaged by cuts
through the carcass fabric or
separation of cord plies that
they cannot be made service
able, according to the expert
tire . men who appraise them.
These are being paid for at
scrap prices 20 cents each in
most cases and ultimately will
be converted to reclaimed rub
ber to augment the nation's sup
ply of crude rubber.
Ceiling Payment
In this connection, persons
who have yet to dispose of idle
tires were urged again by OPA
to sell any that are obviously
scrap to dealers, rather than
turn them over to railway ex
press agency for shipment to
warehouses.
Usable tires are being paid
for at the retail ceiling price for
the particular grade into which
each falls, less the cost of re
pairs 'when repairs are needed.
All payments are made by de
fense supplied corporation,
which has earmarked funds for
the purpose and made arrange
ments for the warehouses where
tires turned in by motorists are
collected and appraised.
HUNDRED BILL!
By IRVING PERLMETER
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 VP)
Production and strategic plans
In Washington, it was learned
authoritatively Tuesday, are
shaping up toward a $100,000,
000,000 "victory" budget for the
United States In 1944.
Tentative figures for the next
fiscal year, beginning July 1,
1943, were described as already
exceeding $90,000,000,000 and
might be about $100,000,000,000
when President Roosevelt sends
his annual estimates to congress
the first week in January.
The biggest budget in any
body's history, this pending plan
is no portent of when the war
will end. For the coming year,
the war managers seek the max
imum weapons and mobilization
possible. If the war should end
sooner, the plans can be can
celled. If the war goes past Ju
ly 1, 1944, these expenditures
will be calculated to bring vic
tory as soon afterward as pos-
sible.
In the current year, the Unit
ed States is spending for itself
and lend-lease slightly fore than
$70,000,000,000. Much of this
spending was improvised as the
war scene shifted, because
bombs fell on Pearl Harbor
right in the midst of last year's
annual budget season.

TRAFFIC DEATHS
The October traffic death
rate in Oregon dropped 19 per
cent from the rate recorded for
October of 1941, Earl Snell, sec
retary of state, said today. The
rate for this October was 10.3
compared to 12.7 a year ago.
While the death rate dropped
19 per cent, motor vehicle use,
as shown by gasoline consump
tion, dropped only 16 per cent.
This, Snell says, indicates Ore
gon drivers are driving with
greater care this year.
For the ten-month period, gas
oline consumption dropped off
ten per cent while the death
rate showed a reduction of 26
per cent. The rate for the January-October
period this year
was 8.2 compared to a rate of
11.3 last year.

SUBSIDY CUT
WILL ENFORCE
FARM GOALS
By PAUL H. BARKLEY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 UP)
Stressing a need for meeting
war crop goals, the agriculture
department announced Tuesday
that farmers who fail to achieve
their production allotments next
year will be penalized by stiff
deductions from . their federal
crop subsidies.
The department explained
1943 agricultural adjustment
agency payments would be de
signed to help get full produc
tion of the kind of crops "need
ed and all crop payments would
be contingent on the degree to
which a farmer meets his goal.
Substitutions
The department said failure
of farmers to plant at least 90
per cent of their allotments for
corn, cotton, peanuts, rice, to
bacco and wheat would result
in payment deductions at a rate
five times the rate of payment.
Thus, it was explained, a
farmer's crop subsidy would b;e
wiped out entirely should he
plant only 70 per cent of his
allotment. Under certain con
ditions, however, the depart
ment added, farmers will be
able to substitute special war
crops or designated feed crops
for their allotment crops . and
still remain in compliance.
Vital Crops
On the other hand, growers
of these basic crops will be pen
alized at a rate ten times the
compliance rate for over-planting
cotton, tobacco and wheat,
since the 1943 allotments indi
cate the maximum production
needed. The deduction for ex
cess corn acreage will be at the
same rate except it will be lim
ited to the corn payment alone
unless the acreage of corn on
the farm exceeds the usual acre
age.
There will be no deduction
for overplanting peanuts and
rice as these are considered vi
tal war crops. Nor will AAA
soil conservation payments be
affected.
