PAGE FOUR IF DEFENSE WORK YOU CAN'T ALWAYS ADVERTISE FACT| UPSETS OUTPUT By JACK STINNETT, AP Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 26.—) There is an odd kind of censorship | going on which, probably because of the flow of big news, rarely is; metioned. | Manufacturers. who. hold de-! fense contracts, it seems, have to | submit to the Office of Production Management, army or navy, all advertising which mentions in any | way that they may not be able to} deliver this or that because their | national defense commitments or | demands and public scorn will drive the red tapeworms, the rafters and the fifth columnists | out of the pasture in time to save the crop.” Rescnaley | PRELIMINARY WORK ON HOUSING HALTS| (Continued from F from Page One) opportunity to work and discuss | labor demands reasonably.

Wiley, Jr. who has! |construction”, he said, “private | priorities have taken this or that | been attending N. C. State College | industry cannot. off the market. For obvious reasons, I can’t! name names—but this came di- | rectly from a manufacturer about | two months ago, he wanted to ex- | plain in a national advertising | campaign that for a few months | it might be hard to get his parti- | cular patented article but that if | customers would just bear with | him for a short time he would be; back in the production groove. For two months OPM and the army mulled over this ad—or-| dered a dozen changes until it: hardly said anything—and final- ly agreed to okay it subject to last | minute revisions. The harassed | manufacturer tried, to explain that national advertising camp-| aigns were plgnned. weeks or months in advance—that maga-| zines had to lock their ad forms a | long time ahead—that national | advertising to newspapers can not | be sold and planned on 24-hour; notice. OPM, which had the last word, was adamant. “But I tell you it can’t be hand- led that way,” said the manufac- turer. “Ifyou won’t agree to my proposition, suggest another.” What he got was a suggestion | that he just drop the whole thing | altogether and carry on with his; usual advertising. If you hear about a New Jersey | i producer jumping into one of his; own acid vats, he said to me, don’t | be surprised, A Reversal Of Form Acids bring up nother choice priorities yarn that is floating | around the capital. In the early (before OPM) a big | chemical company that turns out| product which is 95 per cent a chemical that is important to one vital defense product sent a rep- resentative to Washington to of- fer to curtail the manufacture of this nationally-advertised item until it was determined how much of It wouid be necessary for defense. The representative was given a run-around and sent home with the assurance that the govern-} ment could do without him and his company very nicely, thank you. That was about a year ago. To- day, the same company, with a/ government contract and under government orders, is buying back | its products from wholesalers and retailers—in many cases at a pre- mium—and going through the ex-} pensive process of taking out of! it the 5 per cent extraneous che- micals, trying to avoid a national shortafte of that vital 95 per cent. Causing The Thunder | Couple a big number of such stories with the testimony before} congressional committees that some cantonments have cost us} hundreds of thousands of dollars} more than original estimates— | that a year ago there was ridicul- ous waste and shipments, even to; unfriendly nations, of vital ma- terials (steel and scrap iron are) examples)—and you will see why | a lot of thunder is rumbling over | the heads of national defense agencies today. Something To Remember One encouraging thing came to me the other day from one of the outstanding productien chiefs of the World War. He said: “T pce that you are going to find grave! errors in judgment and many ex-!| amples of serious waste—but if} you will just go back and search| | tel at Raleigh, N.

After regulation menus for so many months, the family undoubt- edly will enjoy a picnic style Sun- day dinner for a change and a wide selection of budget priced fruits and vegetables at the largest of the chain stores over the week-end will simplify planning. Among the | most attractively priced items in fresh fruits and vegetables are bananas, cherries, cantaloupes, lemons, watermelons, plums, beets, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, scal- lions, iceberg lettuce, romaine, es- | carole,~ potatoes, rhubarb, spinach and tomatoes. Among meats frankfurters, ham | | butts and cold cuts will all be budget priced items this week and all lend themselves admirably to a | picnic menu. Other good meat buys are ribs of beef, porterhouse, sirloin and chuck steaks, chuck pot roasts, plate and naval beef, boneless bris- kets and legs of lambs. Fryers and broilers and small turkeys are low ! priced among poultry.
