Continue Advertising,
Industry Is Advised
81 the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, May Indus
try was advised yesterday to con-
tinue advertising during the war
and to formulate postwar plans of
distribution Of products to meet an
expectant enormous demand for
goods OF many types after the
emergency.
Some governmental quarters sug-
gest that advertising be stopped, but
in my opinion that is unsound, !"
Harold Vinton Goes of New York,
vice president of an engineering
firm, told the American Gas Associa-
ton meeting here.
Experience has shown that no
company that has discontinued ad-
vertising permanently has been able
to hold a position of leadership in
It's Industry or to maintain its posi-
ton in the markets. Once a posi-
ton Is lost through failure to con-
tinue advertising aggressiveness, it
is almost impossible to regain it."
Use your advertising as a morale
builder not only for your customers
but for your own organization" Mr..
Goes urged as change of emphasis.
Resort to institutional advertising,
focusing attention on the industry,
on your own business, what has been
accomplished. what you hope to ac-
complish, with view to keeping the
industry and It's component parts
ever before the public pending the
time when you will need them and
they will need you"
DO not be caught without a plan
and policies" Mr.. Goes cautioned
Even inadequate or incomplete
plans are better than no plans. "

Producers Withhold
Beef From Market
After Price Ceilings
Cattle Offered for Sole
In II Centers Drops
To l02, 300 Head
BY WILLIAM FERRIS,
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO, May Cattle pro-
ducers, reacting quickly to sharp
price declines since the once Of
Price Administrations announce
ment that ceilings would be i'm
posed on dressed beef, have reduced
substantially shipments to all major
markets.
A drop of Is cents to 81 hun
dred pounds in values late last week,
followed by another 50-cent decline
Monday, convinced producers their
best bet in resisting the downturn
was to curtail marketings. Live
stock circles acknowledged today
producers had gone into curtailment
with vengeance.
Reversing the trend of earlier this
year, cattle offered for sale in II
principal centers in the first three
days this week totaled 102 300 head
against l29,800 in the comparable
194l days In the same period last
week, lag 200 salable head arrived.
Contrast With April.
This made distinct contrast with
April, when 767 ,439 salable head
arrived at the same IL markets.
compared with 659,696 in April,
l94l. Fol the first four months
this year salable receipts totaled
1886, ,l57 head, against 2,52l,27l in
l941.
A feature of the cattle runs was
the practically complete absence of
choice or prime steers. With pack
ers reducing the premiums normally
paid for such offerings the supply
has consisted mainly of mediocer
grades. Early last week, before the
o. P. AS order, choice cattle brought
$l7-25 a hundred pounds at Chicago.
The top this week, established
Wednesday, was sl5.75-paid for
much less attractive quality.
Set on March Prices.
The o. P. AS order sets dressed
beef ceilings, both wholesale and
retail, at the highest prices prevail
ing during March. Livestock cir
cles said that during April cattle
prices had risen above March quo
tationS. If dressed beef could not
be sold above March peaks. they
said, it therefore would be necessary
to lower cattle prices.
Producers reductions in ship
ments resulted in fairly stabilized
market on Tuesday and Wednesday
when packers, confronted with the
small supply, were anxious to get
anything available. But whether
the market could hold under normal
receipts was debatable, livestock
men said

Shipping Priorities
To Latin America
Are Effective Today
Shortage Of Tonnage
Makes Action Necessary
Officials Declare

By the Associated Press.
The Government announced last
night a system of shipping priori-
ties to govern the order in which
goods may be exported to Latin
America.
A shortage of tonnage because of
the enemy submarine campaign in
Atlantic waters made the action
necessary. officials said.
The office of exports of the Board
of Economic Warfare, the State De-
partment and the co-ordinator OF
inter-American affairs jointly an
nounced the move after consulta-
ton with the war shipping admin
istrtaion and the Once of Defense
Transportation
Care of Essential Needs.
The system was designed, the
B. E. w. said, to expedite the pro-
duction in the other American re-
publics of materials required for the
war program, as we'll as providing
shipping facilities to take care of
essential needs of our neighboring
republics"
Beginning today, export licenses
covering goods moving by water to
other American republics will bear
shipping priority ratings. These
ratings will become effective with
steamship lines at date to be
announced in the near future.
Steamship operators will be directed
by the war shipping administra-
tlon to look cargo in accordance
with these ratings as fixed by the
Office of exports.
Based on the "usep of the goods
the ratings will be assigned this
way:
Rating A-For exports CON
tributing directly to the war pro-
gram Of the United States or to
hemisphere military defense"
Rating B-For articles essential
to the maintenance of industrial,
economic and civilian life of the
country of destination"
Important to Industry.
Rating C-For pm m d iti es
deemed important to the indus
trial and civilian life of the country
OF destination, but for which there
is no immediate urgency. and the
lack of which would not cause eco
nomic diSlocation."
Rating D-For non essential ar
ticles and commodities which, while
desirable, appear unnecessary in
wartime, and for which. there are
substitutes, or without which the
economic and civilian life of the
country Of destination would not be
seriously harmed"
A special rating of AA will be held
in reserve for cases of utmost i'm
portance and urgency"

NEEDED SKILL

Modern warfare, to he successful,
needs men with certain Skills, to
handle planes, tanks and guns. The
work and need does not stop here
but beyond, to the man that can
keep this equipment in repair and in
running order. We hear that the
army today is greatly in need of
technicians and mecharlicians, that
they want welders and metal work
ers, radio and automotive repair
men, cable spiders, blacksmiths,
construction workers, opticians, cleo
tricians and on and ON. There are
may such workers on the outside
defense jobs, doing a fine business in
their line, but this call comes for
workers as soldiers. The present
army is a mechanical one and every
one knows that even house in a
peaceful little village needs me-
chanical treatment to keep it in
shape, and df this is so in a slumb-
ering rural community, it is espec-
tally true of a nations standing
army.
