New Plastic Boasts
Abrasion Resistance

The development of a new trans
parent plastic, having many times
the abrasion resistance of other
clear plastics, was announced by
the Columbia chemical division of
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com
pany. Because of priorities and
other restrictions, however, this
new plastic is not yet in CONNER
cial production, and is not expected
to be available for any but ex-
perimental purposes for several
The new plastic, called c. r. 80,
does not dissolve in acetone, ben
zene, toluene, alcohol, gasoline, or
any of the common solvents. Its
resistance TO abrasion is 10 to 80
times greater than other clear
plastics. 1t retains its shape even
when exposed to high atmospheric
temperatures and can be formed
into large sheets, either clear or
laminated, by the application of
Extremely low pressuFes.

their working hours at lathes or

dexterity and great concentration.
The trend at Packard today is to
call upon women TO operate larger
and more complex types of ma
chimes. Men will continue TO do
the jobsetting and material han
ding, but the women will do the
operating. The engineering depart
ment expects a shortage OF men

The automotive industry for
many months past has been re-

war production contracts, to find
parts that could be used on
machines already at work and to
find equipment that would be de-
stroyed to help swell the nations
supply of scrap iron and steel.

Communist Deputies
In Chile Protest Talk
By Argentine Leader
Walk Out of Chamber
During Ruiz Guinuzu's
Cooperation Speech
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, CHILE, April a.
Seven Communist deputies in the
Chilean chamber walked out yester-
day when Argentine Foreign Min
lister Enrique Ruiz Guinazu, o guest
speaker, referred to the Similarity
Of international policy that Chile
and Argentina had shown at the
Rio de Janeiro conference" 1t was
there that the two countries OPP
posed an immediate diplomatic
break with the Axis.
One of the Communists also was
vocal in his disspproval Of DR.. Ruiz
Guinazu's remarks, shouting Down
with Fascism."
The Argentine Foreign Minister,
who heads large special delegation,
Is here for the Inauguration today
of Chilean President-elect Juan
Antonio Rios, who thus far has not
indicated whether Chile will sever
relations with the Axis.
Rios was elected on q pro-demo-
cratic ticket February l, but he has
refused to make a statement on
Chile's international policy until
after his inauguration.
Appointment Held Significant.
Some observers, however. attached
significance to the fact that Rios
designated for Foreign Minister,
Ernesto Barros Jarpa, reputed
advocate OF Pan-American solidarity
both by word and deed. Barros
succeeds Juan Rosetti, the Minister
who teamed up with DR.. Ruiz GUM
azu at Rio de Janeiro to prevent the
adoption of more vigorous pan
American stand against the Axis.
The presence here Of DR.. Ruiz
Guinazu also was deemed significant
because other South American coun-
tries did not send their Foreign
Ministers or such large delegations
for the Inauguration ceremony.
DR.. Ruiz Guinazu's remarks to the
Chilean chamber further bore out
the belief of many that the Argen-
tine Foreign Minister was trying
to influence Chile to steer the same
foreign policy adopted by Argen-
tina-"support of pan-American
solidarity, but no break with the
Axis"
Calls for Cooperation.
The Argentine Foreign Minister
told the Chilean Deputies that both
Chile and Argentina hope to keep
themselves outside all armed con-
f1ict," called for continued CO.
operation between the two coun-
tries as exemplified at Rio de ia
metro and said both nations have
missions in South America i
the destiny of Argentina is in the
