Shicago Office Doubts Any Available in March for Passenger Cars.
By RICHARD LEWIS Not even Aladdin with his magic p routine could get Hoosiers a treaded or recapped tire today.
y have been ordered to disap-|:
by the Office of Price Administration.
The rationing of new tires, mean-
hile, will proceed as usual, with lergymen added to the list of elies beginning today. However, there is some question to when passenger car retreads ‘will be released.
| Retreads Are Limited
County ration boards have been tructed to start issuing certifites for retreads Monday. But 4 y trucks will be able to get Ye petreads.
camelback = (semi-processed
, according to OPA. And the OPA office in Chicago ) official doubts here yeste hat any retread rubber would be yvailable for passenger cars during ll of March.
Tips on Storing Tires
Motorists who think they will enefit by putting their cars up on locks for the duration may be dislusioned if they fail to store their ires properly. Simply leaving tires a locked garage won’t stop them rom deteriorating.
S. P. Thatcher, tire engineering d service department manager, . 8. Rubber Co., has issued these tructions for tire storage:
Deflate the Tires
If your tires are on the car, reove wheels. The basement is a ood storage place if it’s reasonably ’ cool and dar k.
Tires should be deflated.” The heels, Jying flat, may be piled one the other, but should be separatby | blocks so that the tires will ch,
t sunlight and even days rubber quickly. That is kness is essential. The ould be kept covered, too.
Beware of dampness.
| Do Not Pile Them Up | New tires should not be piled up, but laid separately so that they do ot touch. New tubes should be unfolded, ‘barely rounded out with air, but ‘rot inflated enough to cause tenon.

GANCELS BOOST IN RADIO PRICES
Henderson ea They Are Unwarranted; Meat
Still Plentiful.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (U. P.). —Today’s civilian war notes:
RADIOS—The wholesale and retail prices of radios and phono-
days but they shouldn't have—and you can take Price Administrator Leon Henderson's word for (it, they're coming down. He ordered the immediate cancellation of increases tacked on since it was announced Feb. 9 that civilian radio production would be discontinued.
SUGAR—It isn’t the sugar shortage. It’s the hoarding. That's the theory of Michigan's Democratic Senator, Prentiss M. Brown. He says 7,000,000 tons will be available next year. And he says the hoarders have 750,000 tons which they should put back into circulation.
MEAT—Don’t worry about meat being rationed. There’s no such prospect. The number of meat animals on farms Jan. 1 set an alltime record. .
HOLIDAY—War Production Chief Donald Nelson’s idea of the way to celebrate Washington's birthday. nday is to do a day’s work—a day’s work even harder than usual. Management and labor should set such a precedent, Mr. Nelson says, for Decoration Day, July Fourth and Labor Day.
CONVICTS~They're just as interested, apparently, as anyone else about the conduct of the war. Federal Prisons Director James V. Bennett has suggested to Warden James A. Johnston of Alcatraz that the prisoners get out a newspaper of the sort published on ocean liners.
VALUE OF IGE IN FOOD PROGRAM STRESSED
Ice is one of the most important factors in. the nation’s food producing program, according to Mount Taylor, executive secretary of the National Association of Ice Industries, who spoke to members of the Indiana association in their 48th annual convention today. Another speaker at the morning session was Frank J. Duggan, Pittsburgh, Pa. William M. Johnson, Brazil, presided. . The convention ends with a banquet tonight at the Hotel Severin. Speakers at this afternoon’s session were to be Harold R. Dailey, New Castle; Barton Reese Pogue, Upland; ® Mrs, Allene Burns, Vincennes; Miss~ Miriam Rogers, Lafayette, and Emmitt C. Belzer, Indianapolis,
EVERYTHING'S GRAY NOW D , Tex., Feb, 19 (U. P.) — H. P. Jordan, who has made a career of decorating the interiors of ‘swank Dallas homes, tried to enlist in the naval reserve but couldn't make the grade. Examining physicians said he was color blind.
