Sharply reduced passenger tire quotas for July were announced Tuesday by the Omaha OPA district office shortly after Acting Director Loren N. Mills had warned a serious shortage of the tires exist. However the July quotas for truck and tractor tires were boosted, in line with program of helping ease farm transportation problems during the critcial summer period. The July in themselves can provide no relief because distributors have large backlogs of eligible applications were: Grade 1 passenger, 18,239, down 1,576 from June; small truck tires, 3,085, or 458 more than June; senls a tranrlation of 3,000,000 words into Russian, Chinese, French, Spanish and Engli.sh, and 30.000,000 pages of documentation. It was whipped Into final form by a staff of 135 translators, working around the clock in ton-i hour shifts, seven days a week for nine weeks.

The speed with which translations were made ranged from 360 words a minute by American typists using special recording machines to 500 words an hour by Chinese experts painting in each letter with a delicately small brush. 4t THESE an expert in hL own set an unprecedented record for international conferences: Not a single committee or commission was held back a minute becau.se of translation delay. In one single day during the weeks-long conference, the translating section turned out 1,700,000 pages of documentation on a tery of 20 electrically operated mimeograph machines. Translators averaged 60,000 words a day, turning out 50 individual documents. THE MEN WHO PULLED off the job of tran.slatlon and documentation are Andre Simonpietri.
