DISTRICT TIRE QUOTA IS SAME The district's May passenger tire quota allocated to the Office of Price Administration by the Rubber Bureau of the War Production Board is little changed from April, when it was reduced per cent from March because of a decline in civilian tire production, OPA announced May 5. Passenger tires, including motorcycle tires, available for rationing in this 10-county area in May total 7,533 as against 7,575 in April. Some increases over April allocations were granted in the truck and bus tire category and smaller increases in the tractor-implement category, but it is expected that heavier demands will offset these increases. Only For Most Essential Use The district's May quota for trucks and buses using tire size 8.25 and larger is 1,254 compared with 1,215 for April; for trucks and buses using tires 7.50 or smaller, 1,821.

compared with 1,597. The May quota for -implement tires larger than 7:50 is 247 compared with 162 allocated for April; tractor implement tires 7:50 or smaller, 388, compared with 269. The scarcity of tires for civilian use is due to the continued heavy demands of the armed forces. Since demand in May is always considerably greater than in April, an unchanged allocation is, in effect, a reduction. War price and rationing boards will be able to grant new tires to only the most essential drivers.

Many drivers' applications will have to be denied and greater dependence must be placed on conservation, care and prompt recapping of present tires, and reduced speeds, OPA said.
