lire Rationing Due
To End in 90 Days
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—(P)—The driver who wants more tires to
match his unlimited gasoline may look for a break within 90 days.
That is the word today from WPB officials. They predict that
tire production might jump to 4,000,000 a month in the October-
December quarter compared with this month’s 2,000,000.
6 Although wary of saying that this gain would put an end to tire
rationing, OPA and WPB officials alike admit a hunch that it might
—perhaps within two orthree months.
Substantial improvement in truck tires will come much sooner, in
perhaps 30 days. WPB also is negotiating with the Army for release of
some military stocks for commercial use.
As production officials prepared to meet with industry leaders here
@ext Tuesday for a reconversion parley, the WPB people had this to
offer on the rubber outlook:--
Household rubber goods—sink
stoppers, bathroom mats and
the like-probably will be re-
leased from control gradually.

Meanwhile, WPB awaited a
report from the Army on the
number of truck tires which
now may be released for civil-
lan use. Besides regular track
equipment, the Army is expect-
ed to turn loose some “snow
and desert" tires—military tires
with particularly heavy tread—
which will prove useful in rural
areas.
The truck tire reconversion job
is relatively simple, since the same
moulds are used as for military
casings The lag in passenger tires
results from the need to bring pre-
war moulds out of warehouses and
set them up for use again Also,
dealer stocks are low and must be
built up.

HADDON HEIGHTS. N J., Aug.
22.— (A) —A burly, 200-pound ex-
paratrooper was captured late last
night and charged with murder in
the sex slaying of a pretty 23-year-
old waitress.
Howard Auld, 25-year-old medi-
cally discharged ex-sergeant, was
being questioned early today in the
offices of County Prosecutor Gene
R. Mariano.
The arrest was made by Mayor
J. Herbert Phillips of nearby Mt
Ephraim, N J., and two police-
men as Auld was walking along a
highway.
The nude and battered body
of Margarett McDade was dis-
covered in a sewage disposal
well here Sunday. Police said
she was assaulted and then
tossed alive into the cistern af-
ter a victory celebration last
Tuesday night. An autopsy dis-
closed she died of suffocation.
Auld, whose home in in Bellmawr,
N J. at first said he was ‘George
Jackson, ' Phillips related, but lat-
er admitted his identity when dis-
charge papers were found in his
pockets
County Prosecutor Gene R Mar-
iano said Auld served at least three
jail sentences for petty larcency
before entering the armed forces.
He was wounded in action in the
China-Burma-India theater.
The suspect’s mother, Mrs. Jen-
nie Auld, president of the Mothers
Service club of Bellmawr, N. J, col-
lapsed when police told her they
were searching for her son
Mariano said witnesses told him
they saw Auld leave a victory cele-
bration in Miss McDade s company
at about 1:30 a. m Wednesday, an J
that he left his Bellmawr home the
next day.
