MADE ELIGIBLE
Fl
WASHINGTON, April 4 (JP
Motorists whose gasoline ration
cards permit them to drive over
840 miles a month will become
eligible for the best grade of
tires May 1. ' '
This was disclosed in an office
of price administration order to
day, coincident with news that
manufacture of lower-quality
"victory "tires"- made from re
claimed rubber has been halted.
Previously a mileage ration of
680 month had been required
for the best tires, and a mileage
of 240 to S60 for grade II's. '
Simultaneously, Rubber Direc
tor William' Jeffer's office con
firmed that production of the
"victory tires" was halted March
31, although no ' previous an-j
nouncement was made. . News of J
the action- came just as Jeffers
was in the midst of a .squabble
with military ..officials .over
whether the synthetic, rubber
program has retarded produc
tion of aviation gasoline.
The decision to make grade
tires more widely available was
based, OPA said, on information
from Jeffers that supplies' of
grade II tires are "inadequate
to meet requirements of motor
ists eligible for them." It add
ed mat comparatively more
grade I tires are available in re
lation to those eligible for them.
To adjust the situation, the
new ruling classes grade I and
grade II tires together in the
former grouping. The grade II
class has included p re-Pearl Har
bor tires of lower quality, fac
tory seconds, damaged new
tires and-, the - ."victory" line,
Grade I tires were standard-quat
lty, pre-war casings. -
unaer wis arrangement any
motorist who drives more than
240 miles a month will be able to
take his choice of that entire
group, depending on the price he
wants to-pay. -;

Mr.. Roosevelt acted at the re
quest of the War Labor board,

tailed vital war production and
through a lack of raw material
hampered 21 other plants. : Its

"Obvious Error" in
Trumon Report, Says
Navy Secretary
WASHINGTON, April 24 VP)
Secretary of the Navy Knox, de
claring there was an "obvious
error" in the Truman senate com
mittee report on shipbuilding
and heavy ship losses, said to
day that overall allied ship con
struction in 1942 actually ex
ceeded sinkings.
The sinking loss figure of
1,000,000 tons a month which
was given in the Truman com
mittee account was described by
Knox as coming from some "un
authorized and uninformed
source because the true figures
have never been given out.
