To The Public—
Last Friday, June 25, 1943, the General Tire Company of Indianapolis and fwo of its officers were indicted by the Federal Grand Jury for alleged technical violation of the laws and regulations pertaining to the freezing and rationing of automobile tires.
In the
In fairness to ourselves and to the many well-known persons and firms who are named in the indictment as having received tires from us in alleged violation of the regulations, we offer this explanation:
For a number of years we liave been the largest retail tire dealers in the City of Indianapolis, and we believe that we have acquired and maintained that position: by a consistent policy of the highest business integrity. comply with every law and regulation of our Government.
In all of our operations we have sought to
We are now charged with having committed various technical violations within the first few weeks of the wartime restrictions on tire sales. All of the transactions upon which the specific charges in the indictment are based, occurred prior to February 22, 1942, within seventy-five days after the first freeze order restricting the sales of tires. No specific violation is alleged within the past sixteen months.
It will be remembered that the order freezing the sales of new tires was issued by the Office of Production Management on the night of December 10, 1941, just three days after Pearl Harbor. It was the first step of its kind taken by any Government agency. While the newspapers of December 11, 1941, carried a general statement that the sale of tires was frozen, the public well remembers the confusion and misunderstanding as to its extent and effect. At that time the Office of Price Administration had not yet taken over the con-
rol of tire rationing, nor was there any available administrative interpretation of the freeze
In an effort to determine what was permissible and proper under the terms of the order, we sought information from officials in Washington and from other reliable sources, and the things which we did and which form the basis of the alleged violations, were things which we sincerely believed, as a result of the information so obtained, to be entirely permissible and proper.
For example, we learned that the freeze order applied to new tires but did not apply to used tires. We sought to ascertain the definition of a "used tire" and were informed that the only Governmental ruling on the subject was a decision by the Treasury Department issued in connection with the floor tax on tires a little more than two months before, in which it was held that any tire which had been mounted on a rim was a "used tire." cember 26, 1941, jurisdiction over tire rationing was transferred to the newly created OPA and on December 30, 1941, it adopted its first set of regulations, one of which provided
that a tire or tube which had been used less than 1,000 miles would be regarded as a new: tice or tube. We had no knowledge of this provision until January 14, 1942.
time we had been operating under the definition of "used tire" contained in such Treasury decision. Many of the alleged violations charged in the indictment are based upon such interim transactions.
However, on De-
mean-
The other charges contained in the indictment are of similar character, in that they are
likewise predicated upon transactions effected by us in the belief and with the thought, upon the basis of the best information then available
proper.
, that the same were entirely permissible and
All that we did was done openly and with no thought or belief other than that we were acting in full conformity with the laws and regulations. We are satisfied that the well-known people and highly regarded business firms who are named in the indictment as having purchased tires and tubes from us, were equally sincere in their convictions that such transactions were wholly lawful and proper.
