AUSTRALIA RESTRICTS SALE OF TYRES
(Rec. 11.45 p.m.) CANBERRA, June 2. Heavier restrictions on the sale of tyres for motor-cars and trucks will be imposed today, when regulations setting up a system of tyre priorities will be Gazetted. Preference in the supply of tyres will be given to vehicles used for the war and essential civil needs. As the supply decreases the priority system will practically eliminate sales of tyres for pleasure vehicles. Regulations will be Gazetted shortly restricting the sale of bicycle tyres to owners of bicycles used for war and essential civil purposes. The Minister of Supply, Mr J. A. Beasley, stated that the Allies had lost 90 per cent, of the world's rubber sources. A drive for rubber, ranging from hot water bottles to discarded motor tyres, would start soon.
