OPA Officials Say
CHAPANOKE NEWS
Getting "Tighter
The tire situation
two or three months is going to be
"tight," officials of Price Adminis
tration said today.
The reason is quite simply statea:
There are. very few tires available.
Illustrating the situation, OPA of
ficials pointed out that approximate
ly 10,000 unfilled applications for
tires were carried over from June to
July in the Raleigh district alone.
Most of the available rubber is
going into tires for the armed forces,
officials explained. This is particu
larly true of truck tires. And while
synthetic rubber is now being manu
factured, it is being made in such
limited quantities as hardly to affect
the situation. Relief, due to synthe
tic rubber, is hardly to be expected
for three months, or perhaps longer.
To the average motorist the OPA
can offer just one tit of assistance.
About 6,000,000 tires, taken in by the
government several months ago, are
available for the nation as a whole,
and will be shipped to dealers this
month. They are termed "emer
gency" or "twilight" tires, because
most of them are of no value except
for emergency purposes. Persons in
serioQs need of tires can get these
"emergency" casings, on a Grade 3
certificate, and, by nursing them
along, can get a few miles, or per
haps a few hundred miles, out of
them. The ceiling price on these
tires is $1.
Most of the tires issued this montn
will be of this type.
