preciate the necessity for revers-

Garrett cenpersed delightfully."- on

and what the defense effort would
mean 10 profits and dividends. But
he didn't evince any interest in
tackling Mr.. Arnold as a repre-
sentative of the oil industry. prob
ably because it wasn't proposed TO

BELIEVES IN ADS

Mr.. Garrett believes in adver-
Using. witness the success OF Cen
eral Motors, and Mr.. Arnold has
never been referred 10 as be-
lever in this method OF keeping
our assembly lines working al
capacity.
Mr.. Garrett believes the auto
industry will find more and more
of its facilities devoted TO the
manufacture Of military equip
ment. with a consequent possible
easing in his public relations
duties. simultaneously, Mr. Ar
mold reveals his belief in the time
being ripe for cracking down on
the oil industry's use of adver-
Using in selling gasoline.
AS a matter of fact, there is a
strong belief that Mr.. Arnold
would like nothing better than TO
eliminate competition in the oil
industry by the establishment OF
a universal gasoline standard.

LINE UP FORCES

However. il is high time Mr..
Garrett, and every one else inter-
ested in the problem, marshalled
their forces. Because Mr. Arnold
is well on his way.
He has sent a QUESTIONABLE to
the oil marketing companies. the
most exhaustive ever Undertaken,
seeking detailed data on their adj
vertising expenditures He prob
ably has answered to the question:
naire by now, and thus is already
planning his next move.
The request to the oil COM
panies for information on their adj,
vertising expenditures for motor
fuels. motor oils and automotive
lubrications" was not explained,
/. O., the motive is still a secret.
But Mr.. Arnold's views are well
known and even if they weren't
the QUESTIONABLE itself would OBJ
viate the need of any explanation
by the assistant attorney general
ASKS STATEMENT
The QUESTIONABLE ended with a
request that the oil companies
furnished this:
"A statement outlining the ne
cessity and desirability of adver-
Using the branded products Of
your company, together with
available statistics showing cost
Of advertising per dollar Of sales,
cost Of advertising per unit Of
commodity sold (gallon Of gaso-
line, quart Of lubricating oil,
etc. and the extent to which
competitive forces have COM
PEELED the adoption of advertis-
ing methods and policies Of your
company"
Tomorrow Mr.. Hughes will
furnish Mr.. Garrett with am
munition, just i'm case he de-
cides to do battle with Mr..
Arnold.
