Des Moines OPA district director Walter D. Kline said the November original quota plus district reserve totals 20 966 for grade one passenger tires across 64 counties up from 17 727 in October. He noted this should help most essential B and C mileage applicants but about 13 000 backlogged applications will be only slightly reduced.
