NORE CARS TO GET NEW TIRES
Auto Owners With Mileage Ration of 240 Eligible For Grade I.
The OPA has announced that passenger car drivers with mileage rations exceeding 240 miles a month will be eligible for any grade of new tire when their present casings are “not recappable, effective May: 1. - The order was made after Rubber Director William M. Jeffers had told the OPA that supplies of grade II tires are inadequate to meet requirements of motorists eligible for them. At present, grade I casings for passenger cars, that is, new tires of the best quality, are reserved principally for drivers with mileage rations of more than 560 miles a month. After May 1, there will be no distinction between the two grades, and all new passenger tires—those manufactured before Pearl Harbor and the reclaimed rubber casings made since—will be designated as grade I. At the same time OPA announced that quota restrictions on the fiumber of certificates. for truck tire recapping that may be issued each month by local war price and rationing boards to eligible vehicle operators will be removed by May 1. This latter action is taken to conserve rubber by providing recapping as soon as needed, rather than risk ruin of some casings that might be driven beyond the recapping point because of lack of quota. Truck tire recapping requires only about” a fifth as much crude rubber as a new tire,

Fast Camera Makes Powder Explosion Seem Slow Motion
(U. P.)i—Scientists of the Hercules Powder oping more effective explosives for the use of the united nations are aided in their studies by high-speed cameras faster than the blink of an eye, the company said today. Two of the world’s fastest high-speed cameras are in use in laboratories of the company here, telling research workers what they
Dr. Robert W. Cairns, who perfected the rotating drum camera that has been used for the last five years, as well as the rotating mirror camera, said they are proving “invaluable in making , more effective grades of both industrial and high explosives, including those with dynamite, TNT and nitroglycerin.” Although a layman considers an explosion an instantaneous blast, photographs taken by these cameras disclose that the explosion is actually “a progressive phenomenon, traveling so rapidly along its cartridge that only high-speed cameras of this type can catch its action.” As a result of these cameras Hercules cxplosives experts now can tell what goes on inside the charge at any single instant as short as 1/10,000,000th of a second. The company pointed out that
even with “slow” explosives such as are used in certain typés of coal mining the detonation has been completed before the individual hears the blast. |, Previously, engineers studied this electrical phenomenon with the oscillograph, which makes a photographic record, but because of uncertainty over. when the “arc back” would occur and the speed with which it happened—one sixtieth of a second—the oscillograph could not be employed in this instance. So Pakala rigged up an ordinary electric motor, using layers of aluminum foil and paper to replace the copper wires from the revolving part of the motor, and this arrangement serves to store up the “arc back” and release it slowly enough for the oscillograph to record what happened before and alter the “arc back” occurred.

TRANSIT CRISIS STILL SERIUS
Problem Being Solved but] o-
Replacements: Are Big Problem, OWI Says.
WASHINGTON, April 26 (U. P.). —The battle of transportation is being won on the home-front, but the movement of oil and war work-
ers remains an acute problem, and) = = the prospect of replacing outworn ow sion-1300
equipment is not rosy. “Those were the conclusions drawn today by the office of war information in a survey of the whole transportation situation. “It cannot be said that travel for pleasure is out,” the 22-page report said, “but the don’t travel campaign is still on and the public must - understand the urgency for conserving cars and rubber and
ood cutting down unnecessary - train | eam Canner
travel.” Troop Movements Heavy
The present allotment of railroad equipment is “a compromise with essential civilian needs,” OWI said. It pointed out that about 1,750,000
.. {troops a month—more than. 50,000

The report said that the railroad
situation was “vastly better: than | Medium
during the last war,” but that-local transportation systems are heavily|. overtaxed and, due to greater concentrations of population, are the

of Charleston, S, C., where passenger transportation is 662 per cent above. normal The transportation of workmen to plantsé“is approaching its most critical stage, OWT said, and added that - to continue “present. accomplishments it will be, necessary to maintain the recently increased ef-
3 ficiency in railroad: operation and
to increase group-riding in. private passenger cars... .
‘Bus Replacements Small
While war workers get to work via bus, street car, auto and even
: by box car, the busses have to carry s | most of the crowds due to lack of 2 | trolleys and although some 15,000
bus- replacements would be expected in a normal year along with several thousand additions, the: WPB has licensed: materials : for only -3000. Group riding and staggered hours
are: the best expedients for reliev-|ind
ing transportation difficulties, the report said. Transportation is “struggling with a shortage of personnel,” the report said. - Women and Negroes have taken over many of the jobs, but
discrimination against Negroes “exP
ists in many places.”

Has His Problems
WASHINGTON, April 26 .(U. P.) ~The office of war information, conceding that the American farmer has some tough problems, revealed today some of those the British farmer has overcome sufficiently to increase food production 70 per cent over pre-war levels. The British farmer has to: Carry on all normal after-dark operations in pitch blackness. Get used to having an antiaircraft battery in his turnip patch. ‘Work his field up to the very edge of bomb craters—perhaps as many as 50 of them in his most productive land. Sell his products at fixed prices. Carry on ‘coupon farming,” that is, feed his livestock and poultry on a coupon ration basis. Pay ‘a heavy income tax and, if his profits are gbove a fixed level, give up exactly 100 per cent of that surplus.
PRESIDENT ADDS THREE TO WP
McNutt, Eastman, Ickes Are Named to Civilian
Supplies Section.
WASHINGTON, April 2¢ (U. P.). —President Roosevelt yesterday add-
50|ed three more government officials to
the war production board in what was interpreted as another move to strerigthen the agencys civilian supplies section.
Added to the board were War Manpower Chairman Paul V. McNutt, Defense Transportation Director Joseph B. Eastman and Petroleum Administator Harold L. Ickes. Members previously appointed are Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of Navy Frank Knox, Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones, Lt. Gen. William 8S. Knudsen, production expediter for the war department, Vice President Henry A. Wallace, Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown, Harry L. Hopkins,
13:00| special assistant to the president,
and Chairman Donald M. Nelson. Nelson, who has been concentrating recently on strengthening the office of civilian supplies, requested the appointments. Recently he named Arthur H. Whiteside, president of Dun & Bradstreet, New York financial reporting agency, as head of the office. His action came in the face of agitation in congress to set up an independent office of civilian supply under Economic Stabilizer James F. Byrnes—a proposal which Nelson has vigorously opposed.
