making a limited nuhbbl*

r-~A
concerned only with the necessity
of' he ping war production lines
and other essential'operations
from ftitering," hr. Henderson
said. "The national interest, and
net the convenience of persons was
the governsng fact or."
"The April quota allotments
moan that search for ways to
conserve tires must bo intensified
rather than relaxed. The passen
ger car recapped tires that arc
sold under the April quota will be
treaded with a cane Teach made al-‘
most entirely of reclaimed rubber,
so those who get then will have to
drive with a great deal noro caro
than would be necessary if the'
camclback were of better grade.
High speeds will destroy these
tires quickly, and there nay bo
no chance to replace those so
damaged. Certainly the material.,
made of reclaim will not give tho
mileage that night be expected of
higher qualities. moreover, it'
is not certain that -the, Aar Pro
duction Board will continue to
make even reclaimed rubber avail
able to permit the OPA to allot
quotas for List B passenger cars
in future months. Tlio ano at of
reclaimed rubber wo can pi" duco
in this country is governed in
largo part by the amount of 3 crap
or junk rubber. How much of that'
there is, no one knows definitely,
but wo do know that the rate of
its flow to reclaimers has de
creased/'
hr. Henderson cclied upon
defense workers to bo just as
thrifty as anyone else in :ne nat
ter of tires. Ho pointed out
that replacements even at the A
pril quota level cannot be counted
on to continue an?, that the demand
for tiros will increase 3tnadily
as those now on vehicles nr out.
"This means," he said, "that
many workers who now drive their
own cars to work a.nd for p.. msarc
will have to t^rn to some other
transportation'when their present
tiros give out.
"Who# Wan*1 workers *"■ tiros’' wear
out and replacements are not a
vailable, they must find other
w~ys of getting to their jobs.
Those ways probably will be loss
convenient than driving and'nay
take considerably more tine.' I
feel sure that, knowing this, war
workers and others who hat tiros
will try to'make them last as long
as possible."_
