Iowa Tire Controls And Tires Expected In 1942
Washington schedules cap purchases for tires under a new system to allow owners to obtain tires via certificates issued by county boards. The move coincides with expected rationing starting January 5, as outlets handle retreading and recapping surges. A state aging toward centennial milestones, Iowa marks 95 years as a state and 100 as a territory, highlighting its role as breadbasket amid crisis. Potential gubernatorial candidates named include Claude A. Clark of Peterloo and former Governor Nelson G. Kraschel, with Kraschel seeking Democratic nomination in 1942.
