Likewise, there will be sharp reaction against strikes and all work stoppages with the’ possibility that there will be a determined deniand for enactment of a ‘No Strike” law. There will also be a demand, in all. likélihood, for ‘vigorous. action against organizations agitating for a negotiated peace.

Serious. depletion of the supply of used passenger tires available for rationing to low mileage drivers coupled with inadequate stocks of new tires, compels a shift in the tire rationing program from a “mileage” I to.an “occupational” ~ basis, OPA said. Effective immediately, OPA — is abandoning regulations that only three persons holding ‘gasoline’ rations good for driving 601 miles 2 month or more can qualify for Grade 1 tires (new prewar tires or new tires mode of synthetic rubber). Hereafter, any pérson who. drives his car in connection with a’ highly essential. ‘ocaupation, regardless of his gasoline ration, may apply for a iration certificate good for buying a Grade 1 tire, or, if such a tire is not available, for a Grade III tire (used tires or new tires made principally . from reclaimed rubber). The remaining supply of Grade III tires will go to persons doing occupational driving of a less. essential character. Since there are not enough new tires to meet all essential needs, boards will have to do a most careful screening job in considering applications filed by persons eligible under the new program, according to OPA. Drivers doing work most essential to the war effort, the pnblic health, and safet will have — to come first. : roperty Tax Levy of Costs Totals $446 220 ‘ Saeaety tax leves for Nevada county government, the school districts and the special districts in the county totalled $446,220 for the eurrent fiscal year, 1943-44, compared with the levy by these same governments of $460,763 for the year immediately preceding.
