‘A’ Holders in East Ineligible, Others Must Demon-

” strate Essential Use.

WASHINGTON, June 29 (U. P). ~OPA today declared holders of “A” gasoline ration cards in the Eastern shortage area ineligibl® for tire replacements and limited replacements in the rest of the country to automobiles used for occupational purposes. “The step was taken on advice of Rubbér Director William M. Jeffers, who revealed a temporary shortage . of used and recapped tires and announced a July allotment of those casings of only 500,000 compared with 800,000 in June. The shortage is expected to last at least 90 days. Beginning July 1, OPA announced, the eligibility of drivers with mileage rations of 240 miles or less a month will be determined by these standards: 1. In the Eastern gasoline shortge area, where the 90 miles a onth in an “A” hook is all for non-occupational driving — drivers who hold only “A” cards cannot get replacements; - they can still have their present tires recapped whers needed without getting rationing ificates.

NEW YORK, June 29 (U. P).—

day over the propriety of & charge made last week by one union official that Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson -had| “prejudged” their demand for a 350 per cent wage increase and that continuance of hearings before an emergency board of the’ national railway labor panel would be a “farce.” Harry W. Fraser, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, one of the five brotherhoods seeking a pay increase from the emergency board, today condemned a statement made last week by Alvanley Johnston, chief executive of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Fraser said his union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen’s Union of North America did net concur with Johnston, who spoke for the engineers and for the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. “We regret exceedingly that it is necessary to do this,” Fraser said,

* his car for an essential purpose. Thus a driver having only an “A” card must use his car for occupational purposes. It also means that the applicant must meet certain other tests, including formation of a ride-sharing club where possible, or establishing the lack of reasonably adequate alternative means of transportation. The new order contrasts with present regulations giving eligibility for used and recapped tires to any driver having a mileage ration of 240 miles or less a month. But eligibility of drivers with monthly rations in excess of 240, who get new tires when they need replacements, is not changed by the order. The changes effect only used and -yecapped tires. Inner tube eligibility for all drivers remains the same. New Rules May Follow In announcing the order, Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown also made public a telegram from Jeffers warning that “new and more drastic regulations” might result if the present curtailment does not produce the desired tire conserva-

tion. “I hope that by sometime in 1944

aa {§: supoly of rubber and tires may ~ Pe'adequate to enable us to remove most. if not all of the existing regulations,” Jeffers said. His last sentence was supported yesterday by Secretary of Commerce Jones who told a Houston, Tex, luncheon that by December the nited States will have an annual nthetic rubber manufacturing ca- _ pacity of 800,000 tons—“more than we have ever used”—and enough to meet all war and essential civilian ‘needs.

In Indiana where the “A” book is good for 240 miles a month, the applicant for tires must show he uses his car for essential purposes, such as formation of a ride-sharing club or lack of reasonably adequate ternative means @f transportation, he Indiana OPA said today.

Vo IGA TLE

More than half the dividends which will be distributed by building and loan associations tomorrow will be credited rather than paid in cash and much of the money which is paid out will go into defense bonds, Albert F. Bromley, vice president of the Railroad Men's Federal Savings & Loan association, said today. By Wednesday, the end of the fourth dividend period since Pearl Harbor, the savings, building and loan associations and co-opera-tive banks of the country will have distributed earnings for the first half of 1943 totalling $71,250,000, according to announcement made today by the U. S. Savings and Loan league. The earnings will be distributed among 7,000,000 people. “The more than $35,000,000 which will be credited to those who are building up their holdings in the associations will not be spent, which means the recipients are in line with the fight-inflation psychology of the present,” Mr. Bromley said.

Push Sales

“And all the savings and loan associations push the sale of defense bonds for two very definite reasons. “The first reason, of course, is to help the treasury finance the war. The second is to help the people réceive the benefits of their earnings by building a solid cushion which will be of use in future years.” Most of the associations place printed reminders to buy derense bonds in passbooks every time an entry is made. This year’s dividend distribution is taking place after larger than usual allocations of earnings to the reserves of the savings associations, since there is a general sentiment in the business that reserves should be accumulated these days beyond any of the levels established in previous practice.

REFUSES TO RETURN CONVICT TO INDIANA

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 29 (U. P.) —James J. Taylor, who escaped from the Indiana state prison 24 years ago while serving a life term, was rewarded with his freedom today because since his escape he has been a good citizen, husband and father. Acting Governor Frederick Houser said Taylor had been punished sufficiently for the slaying of his step-brother in a quarrel, and refused to permit his extradition to Indiana. Taylor was convicted in 1914 and escaped from the prison while working as a trusty in 1819. Since 1920, Taylor has lived in the little Los Angeles suburb of Lennox, using the name of Charles A. Proctor. He married a widow with two children in 1926, and the townfolk have come to respect him a “good husband and father.” Taylor was arrested recently on a traffic charge, and a routine check of his fingerprints disclosed his identity.

URGE JOBS FOR YOUTHS OVER 14

Committee Sees Work as Child Crime Solution, Rhoads Reports.

The governor's committee on juvenile labor problems has decided that any child in Indiana over 14 years of age can be gainfully employed during vacation periods, Judge Mark W. Rhoads of juvenile court told the Rotary club at its luncheon in the Claypool hotel today. Judge Rhoads, who is a member of the committee, said the group has completed a list of recommendations being sent to parents throughout the state and to employers. They clarify provisions of the state's child labor law and point out the kinds of work children over 14 can do. “Our experience in juvenile court indicates that we must adopt a different attitude in regard to both work and recreational programs for children because of the stress of war conditions,” he said. “Children as well as adults during these times want to do something and want to be productive. We firmly believe that the stress which children are undergoing takes honest work to prevent them from becoming delinquent.”
