This method win give the rationing boards aomuonai opportunity to judge an ap plicant's essentiality. - An applicant without a high ratine; from WPB will nkely have a hard time getting a new duck or Dus tire. - - The whole Droblem Is to see that the few big tires available are placed on the vehicles which are the most es sential to the war effort and to up keep of civilian needs. Mr. Knowles said. - 'A y. i Plans are to create special hearing panels to act on 8.25; and larser tire applications. These panels win be made up of certain members of ra tioning boards. OPA officials, and ODT representatives. These emergency pan els will function because the district quotas on the big tires are so low that the various counties cannot be allowed any quotas at an In most Instances. ; 1,CCD U. S.
