ATTERN READY
Drastic Action Taken to |
Keep Them Rolling, Eastman Says. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (U. P.).—
The government's strict control over the use of more
than ‘5,000,000 commercial vehicles |?
the United States today set a ttern which could be applied to ‘Private passenger cars should such restrictions become necessary. The office of defense transportation, in announcing that all com‘mercial transportation facilities except railroads, airlines and pas‘senger cars, will be placed under ‘wartime controls on Nov. 15, em-
‘phasized that private automobiles 1
‘would not be affected. But the new regulations—setting up nation-wide rationing of gaso-
line, tires and parts for 4,890,000]
non-military trucks, 154,000 busses
assumption of |§
‘and 50,000 taxicabs—could easily be|&
modified to apply to 20 odd millions. of private automobiles.
Must Keep on Rolling
ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman
‘announced the new control program last night and asserted that such drastic action was necessary because “these motor vehicles must be kept rolling.” Key to the new control program will be a “certificate of war necessity” which all commercial vehicles must carry and show before obtaining gasoline, tires or parts. Those certificates will govern the maximum mileage that may be operated or the minimum loads that may be carried, or both, by all vehicles to which they are issued. The ODT order also provides that ~ the tires of commercial vehicles be checked every 5000 miles or at the end of each 60-day period, whichever occurs first, at an agency designated. Continued use of the vehicle can be banned: unless the examining agency reports that all ~ reasonable adjustments or repair have been made to assure prudent utilization of the tires.
Driving Curb Sought
Although the major purpose of the order apparently is to eliminate unnecessary driving, its potentialities are much greater. The order provides that the ODT may cause any vehicle for which a certificate has been issued “to be operated in such a manner, for such purpose, and between such points as the ODT shall from time to time direct” regardless. of “any contract, Jease, or other commitment, express or implied, with respect to the operation of such commercial motor vehicle.” But Mr. Eastman in a statement to all operators of vehicles affected assured them that it was not proto use the “certificates of war necessity” in any “arbitrary or ruthless way.” The ODT’s certificates ‘will be drawn with the objective of assuring that: 1. Operations be confined to those which are necessary to the war effort or to the essential domestic economy. ‘2, Operations: be so conducted as to attain maximum utilization of the equipment involved. 3. The operations conserve and providently - utilize rubber or rubber ‘substitutes and other critical materials used in the manufacture, maintenance, and operation of all vehicles covered by the order. In addition to passenger cars, ehicles exempt are: Commercial vehicles operated by or under direction of ‘military or naval forces; rcial vehicles operated by ealers exclusively for the purpose ‘of selling such vehicles; motor wvehicles- having capacity of not more
group riding to haul persons to q from work, if such vehicles are
Each operator of vehicles covered| the order will have to keep a y record of all operations on form prescribed on the back of certificate.

INSTALLMENT DEBTS [2 IN U. S. DECREASE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (U. P.).— The commerce department estimated today that short-term consumer debt in the United States may drop by $3,500,000,000 in 1942 and reported that total consumer installment debt dropped more than $1,500,000, 000 during the first six months because of new credit restrictions and curtailed production. , The department said that liquidation of an additional $1,250,000,000 of consumer debt plus an anticipated decline in retail charge accounts and single-payment com-
It said the “tremendous decline”
4| may force into indleness resources|io ¥|of consumer credit agencies, and
that many, especially small cash loan companies, may be forced to liquidate. Reductions in debt, it said, should play an important part in the antiinflation drive, but warned that ine come normally spent for down pay-
ments and installments could be di- ois
verted to other expenditures and that “full, deflationary effects of a reduction in consumer debt can jo be achieved through the co-ordina-Hea of all anti-inflationary polies.”

Returris to Capital With All Details for Building
Cargo Planes.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 (U,-P). —Henry K. Kaiser, west coast shipbuilder, returned to Washington: to-
ment officials that he can build mammoth cargo planes without
tion. . “I'm full of hope, confidence, fasts and figures,” he announced n his arrival. “I am prepared to Sow. everybody and anybody who is interested that I can build these|20% cargo planes, which the army, navy and war production all agree they need, without raiding the aircraft industry for my skilled labor or scarce materials.” . Mr. Kaiser recalled that he started building ships with a nucleus of! 3000 men, now grown to an a zation of 123,000. “Ninety per cent of them had) never see na ship before in their lives,” he said. Returns With Plans “111 do the same. with the planebuil rogram.” EE left the capital more than three weeks ago after Production Chief Donald M. Nelson ave 2 build 500 cargo planes with] the provision that the shipbuilder’s 3 | program would not interfere with construction of fighter planes and bombers. At that time, Mr. Kaiser promised to return within a month with a chart Showing how he could mplish his objectives. I that he could obtain d|raw materials from sources which have not yet been tapped, Mr. i| Raiser said he has made arrangements with the University of California and Stanford university to

“I Can Do Ud “The navy says it wants cargo
