TIRES DUE FOR CARD DRIVERS WE HAVE THIN TREADS
New tires may start rolling this fall to A card automobile drivers whose hopes and treads have been wearing thin together. Charles F. P. Philips, the OPA's new chief of rationing, said A card drivers can expect their first new tires since the war began when monthly allocations from the May quota of 1 400 000. Production of passenger car tires may reach 2 000 000 by October to December. Phillips said there was nothing to indicate an increase in the A ration for gasoline during the current quarter and that any boost in the third quarter depends on Petroleum Administration for War allocations. Not all A card motorists will get new tires this year.
