the!
months of 1943, the OPA, acting
in accordance with quotas estab-
lished by the Ofifce of the Rubber
Director, has Issued certificates
for approximately 15,900,000 pas-
senger-car tires. At the present
rate of demand, it is conservative-
ly estimated that a total of 26,-
000,000 tires will be needed this
year to provide for all essential
cars under the mileage rationing
program which was adopted in
December 1942 upon the basis of
recommendations submitted to the
President by the Baruch Commit-
tee. r
If the Rubber Director’s esti-
mate of a 17,000,000 tire supply is
correct, a shortage of 8,000,000
tires is indicated by the end of
this year. Acute shortages have
already developed in. most sections
of the country. A shortage of the
proportions Indicated carries a
threat of serious disruption of
war worker transportation.

F. J. Kubitxa, chairman of the
Washington County Rationing
Board, today gave out the follow-
ing official statement concerning
the tire situation, as sent him by
the federal government:
know exactly where we stand with
respect to passenger-car tires.
These facts are released with the
full approval of the Office of the
Rubber Director:
In 1941, the last year in which
tires were distributed through nor-
mal trade channel, 63,500,000 new
passenger-car -tires were made
available to the American public,
plus an undetermined but substan-
tial quantity of used tires- In 1942,
on^f 3,700,000 new tires were
made available to OPA by WPB
fur rationing. ’ - —

statements by Mr. William Jeffers,

Considerable speculation ha*
been going the rounds in pollti-
y cal circles since the Houston
Chronicle last week printed a
forceful editorial advocating '
Gov. Coke Stevenson for a Sec-
ond term. Political analysts
wondered at the timing of the
•• editorial which <;ame almost a
, ye»r before next year’s elections-
Bearing in mind that the owner
of the Chronicle, Jesse Jones, is
high in the ranks of the Roose-
velt administration, they are
wondering if the “draft Steven-
son for re-election” proposal was
put forward at this time in an
effort to head off the governor
from seeking national office,
something that might be dis-
tasteful to the New Deal inher
circle. But regardless of the pur-
pose ^>fthe editorial, it is'a grea
x tribute to a great governor, with
< Which we heartily agree. The
J editorial follows:
In a message of thoughtful
confidence, Governor Coke Stev-
enson said Wednesday that Tex-
ans, who are doing a wonderful
job in the war, will solve the
problems of peace.
The governor'* word* bring
new assurance, especially to the
many who have not looked to-
* ward the postwar period, with
its inevitable readjustments, as
confidently and cheerfully as
they are looking toward victory
* over Japan and Germany.
reassuring is
the -fact'Tnat the governor gives,
as he discusses the future, a
distinct impression that he de-
sires to guide the destinies of
t Texas through aonther term as
