Will Ration Tires Put Burden on Kansas Officials
Kansas cities and counties will be responsible for wartime tire rationing under the federal program. Governor Payne Ratner urged local officials to decide whether to run allocations through defense councils or directly via city or county deputies. He warned that disputes over who may have new tires will test integrity and patriotism. A sub committee to coordinate youth activities in the war effort was named with Irene Meeker chairing. In Lansing, Kan a prison warden ordered a thorough search after a .22 cartridge was found where Christmas presents for inmates were being checked.
