STATE TIRE QUOTA IN FEBRUARY CUT

Eligibility Regulations May Be Liberalized, However, County Headquarters Believes; More Tubes to Be Available for Heavy Trucks.

By RICHA

Fewer tires will be available in Indiana and Marion County next month under February quotas announced today but there will be a 37 per cent increase in new tubes for

heavy trucks.

It was believed at County Ration headquarters that

although the quotas on tires quirements for new somewhat by the Office of P ington. February quotas for passenger car, light truck and motorcvele tires and tubes were cut 19.7 per cent below

the current quotas. Next month's new truck tire] quota was slashed by 33.2 per cent The quotas for the County an State follow: STATE Tires Tubes Passenger cars. light trucks and motorcycles Heavy

The automobile ration plan which the board will take over Feb. 2 is expected to provide more liberal eligibility classifications than those! set up in the present tire plan. That| has been indicated by the Office of} Price Administration at Washington Under the present tire restrictions. which release new tires and tubes only to those engaged in essential health and safety services, the board has said “no” to apnlicants as often as it has said “yes.”

for Pastors?

Liberalization of restrictions, it has been indicated, may permit | clergvmen to have tires. Under] present restrictions, members of the whether in rufal or urban service cannot get new tires. A truant officer for the County schools was found not eligible when| he applied for new tires. He asked how he was expected to do his work, checking on absent yvounsters. It was a rhetorical question. Two physicians were denied tires, after they informed the board they had two cars—one which they drove on professional duty and the other which their wives used during the dav. The board ruled that tires were! not essential in their cases because the veould use their second cars, or at least switch tires

Hearses Not Essential

Qo far. there is no definite word that social workers who make investigations throughout the County for relief and welfare agencies can have tires. No social worker, however. has vet applied The application of a local mortuarv for hearse tires was turned down. The board cited the OPA ruling that hearses were not essential. Not all Federal employees using their automobiles in their work may have tres under present regulations. The application of a Farm Security Administration engineer was rejected. The regulations said “non-essential.” One man who said he hauled materials for defense industries asked for tires. The board investigated, found he hauled for non-defense industries, too, and, in fact, did! general hauling. No tires

None for Dog Catcher

The operator of a trucking fleet asked for tires for an automobile used to service the trucks, but was rejected although tires were avail-

able for the trucks !

Under current eligibility requirements, the trucks at the City dog pound cannot get tires. Just the other day, a Martinsville man appeared before the board with a problem which had stumped the Morgan County Ration Board.

Headed for the “Degs”

The man's business was collecting; dogs and cats for research labora- | tories. He covered ail of southern | Indiana and eastern Illinois, pick- | ing up amimals slated for execution at dog pounds. His tires were thin, he said, and ff he couldnt get new ones, he would have to go out of business. “I just made a delivery of 2 cats, and I have an order to fill for 50 dogs.” he told the board. Members thumbed through the regulations and gave him the ansgwer:

“No tires,” they said.

INSURANGE AID OFFERED NATION

Business Is Stabilizer, Institute President Declares Here.

pledged its efforts and resources to the nation in the emergency, Holgar J. Johnson, Institute of Life Insurance president, said here today. Speaking at a joint luncheon of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and Indianapolis Life Underwriters Association in the Clayool Hotel, Mr. Johnson declared: “The U. S. Government can count on the life insurance business going “all out” to aid the nation’s war effort in every way in which it can serve. Stabilizing Force

“The stabilizing force of the flow of life insurance benefit payments is today four times that of World War I, and the security base provided American families by life insurance is today five time that which existed in 1917.” The institute president declared that life insurance “is a vital instrument of democracy” and explained that the nafion’s 66,000,000 life insurance policy holders through their policies were aiding the war effort in five ways. He listed them: “Through direct and indirect financing of war efforts since life insurance reserves are dollars at work. Helps Build Morale

“Through building morale. Life insurance builds family security which is the base of morale, “Through stabilizing the community credit and national economy by the constant flow of benefit payments to policy holders and beneficiaries. “Through development of thrift. “Through the creation of a great bulwark of protection and actual leash resources against the days of post-war emergencies and uncertainties.”

Encourage Bond Buying

Mr. Johnson said the life insurance business encouraged the pur{chase of defense bonds and stamps land many agents in the nation had |volunteered time and effort to pro- __ | mate their sale on a regular, systematic basis through salary savings plans. “The business at hand.” he said, “is winning the war and to do this {the nation is now going through a period calling for sacrifices. “There no need to unduly fear the netae readjustments of the | post- war period because the courage, optimism and ingenuity of Americans will insure the building of a better America.” He declared that when the reconstruction job begins life jnsur | ance can be counted upon to supply capital.

Gable Grieves

Clark Gable

BODY OF CAROLE BROUGHT HOME

Burial to Be in Stars’ Valhalla; Sorrow Grips Film Colony.

HOLLYWOOD. Jan. 21 —A sorrowed film colony Carole Lombard today on her trip home. The body of the beautiful actress, crushed in the crackup of an airliner last Friday in the Nevada mountains, arrived from Las Vegas, with that of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Peters, and her studio agent, Otto Winkler, also among the 22 persons aboard the plane. Clark Gable, grimly concealing the emotional strain he has suffered since word of the crash first reached him five days ago, accompanied his wife on her final return to the Hollywood she had loved. Mr. Gable left the train at Pomona, 35 miles from Hollywood, to avoid the crowd at Los Angeles station. The bodies of the three victims were placed in hearses at Pomona and taken to Forest Lawn Memorial near Glendale, where Miss Lombard will join Will Rogers, Jean Harlow and other screen stars in moviedom’s valhalla. Funeral arrangements awaited Mr. Gable’s decision. Only invited friends and relatives will attend. Mr. Gable’s immediate plans were indefinite. Studio officials, who long have known Gable preferred fishing and hunting to acting, feared he might withdraw permanently from motion pictures. Reports that Mr. Gable might join the Army Air Corps could not be con= firmed. Although he likes to fly, his age, 41, probably would bar him.

ACTION DELAYED ON LEFT TURN CHANGE

The Safety Board has deferred action for two weeks on the proposal to change the left turn traffic regulations. Cily Traffic Engineer James E. Loer recommended to the Board that left turn traffic be directed to the left of the center of intersections instead of turning around to the right of the center. If the Board approves the plan and an ordinance legalizing is passed by the City Council, yellow lines will be painted at busy corners to guide all left-turn traffic.

that if you want to work on a war

try you have to pay a union for the privilege. At Mechanicsburg, Pa., the Navy is building a $15,000,000 supply depot. That is largely a rural neigh= borhood, unused to union methods. Many of the local people have walked away when told that in order to get work they must pay $20 for a card in the common laborers’ union, or $50 in the cars penters’ union—both A. F of L. units. Navy officers here, informed of these requirements, said meekly, “Uh huh. Theyre at it again. Well. the Navy's part of it is that all labor arrangements are up to the contractor.” The Government has nothing to do with it, even though reports from Mechanicsburg are that “the labor supply is being reduced through the union card requirements, and, there= fore, the Naval depot’s completion will be delayed. The contractor at Mechanicsburg is a Philadelphia firm which says it has a closed shop contract with the A. F. of L. unions. The Truman Committee of the Senate has joined other congressional bodies in condemning the union card on war jobs. Legislation has been proposed, but nothing has been enacted.

TROLLEY RUSH HOURS STUDIED

Reid Confers With C. of C. Group; Defense Plant Help Studied.

Plans for obtaining co-operation of officials of industrial plants in efforts to relieve peak hour congestion on buses and trolleys were discussed yesterday at a meeting of the Emergency Transportation Committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Harry Reid, Indianapolis Railways, Inc, president, said that a survey of industrial plants nad been completed showing the hours of work, the changes of shifts and the number of workers using public transportation service. This survey will be used as a basis for recommendations which, it is hoped, will help toward the solution of the rush-hour traffic problem, he said. Mr. Reid said that the influx of war industry workers was straining the transportation system to its ute most during the morning and evening periods. He said 25 more vehicles are being built for the company and that 11 street cars are being rebuilt in the company's shops.

HAWAII IS HOME T0 DORIS DUKE

Testifies at Hearing as She Seeks to Dodge Jersey $14,000,000 Tax.

SOMERVILLE, N. J, Jan 21 (U. P.).—Hawaii is an ideal place to

i (live and her permanent home is

there and will remain there—if pose sible—~Doris Duke Cromwell, toe bacco heiress, testified yesterday at a preliminary hearing before a special master, The hearing was ordered pending trial of her action in U. S. District Court to prevent Hillsborough Township, New Jersey, from collect ing a $14,000,000 tax on her intan= gible property. The township, in which Mrs. Cromwell's 2500-acre estate is located, contends that Mrs. Cromwell is a resident of New Jersey and is therefore liable to taxation on about $220,000,000 worth of intangible property, including her own personal property and that personal property which is in her name as a trustee of the Duke endowment. She said she received no income from the Duke endowment, Mrs. Cromwell was made a trustee when she became of age. “When was that?” she was asked. Mrs. Cromwell replied, “1933.” That would place her age at 33.

First Went to Hawaii in 1935

Mrs. Cromwell testified she first went to Hawaii on the last lap of her ’round-the-world wedding trip with her husband, James H. R. Cromwell, in 1935. “We intended to stay two weeks and we stayed four months,” she said. “Did you like it?” she was asked. “I'm crazy ahout it,” the heiress replied, “When did Mr. Cromwell change his mind about making Hawaii his permanent home?” “In 1938," Mrs. Cromwell answered, “because he had political ambitions in New Jersey.”

Returned to Islands

“Did you change your mind?” “No. but naturally I followed him.” Mr. Cromwell was appointed U.S, Minister to Canada in 1940 and Mrs, Cromwell accompanied him to Ottawa. She said they first discussed a marital separation in January, 1940, but she remained with him because of his ministerial post. They separated in May when he resigned his diplomatic position to accept the Democratic nomination as U., S. Senator from New Jersey. He was defeated and Mrs. Cromwell returned to Hawaii.

The case was put over without date,
