labor was being consulted in VINO

that it was the first time a pro-
vision was written into instructions
calling on regional directors to con-

He declared that hiring is still
done by management and the War

Ey the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June How news
papers and advertising men success
fully have put advertising copy to
work on the dual task of selling
American products and Government
war campaigns at the same time
was graphically illustrated today in
displays at the annual convention
of the Newspaper Advertising Exec
utives Association at the Pennsylvania
Hotel
In scores of eye-arresting ads.
daily newspapers during the past
year have sold War bonds along with
industrial institution messages, while
makers of bread called attention to
governmental rutritional programs
and manufacturers of canned goods
urged intelligent cooperation with
the Nations rationing program Ac-
cording to Government and local
authorities the dual advertising mes
sages have proved highly effective,
the NAEA reported.
The display. which covered the
walls and the Railways of the meet
ing rooms. showed examples of gov
ernmental co-operational advertise
ments ranging from large national
campaigns such as the War bond
drives. to purely local themes which
drove home the story of regional
manpower anc housing problems
created by the war
Walter J. Weir. vice president of
the New York advertising firm of
Kenyon & Eckhardt, Inc, told dele
gates that despite the task which
newspapers have undertaken in pro-
noting Government themes during
the war they still were faced with
helping to win the war on the
home economic front this year
We must not only consider the
present and postwar world of SELL
ing Mr. Weir said. we must also
remember that we are in a pre-
postwar period when it is neces-
sary to educate the public how to
spend the sl35 900 900. 900 that will
be earned in this country this year.
After taxes and living expenses
have been deducted from these
earnings total of S450OO.OO 900
will remain in the hands of the
public. Part of this remainder will
be spent on War bonds and much of
It will be available for goods. 1t is
the advertising mans duty to help
restrain spending so that the excess
money will be siphoned off for
necessities. If we help to sell that
one idea We will aid in keeping
prices under control and the econ
omy balanced"
Mrs. Sara Pennoyer. vice presi-
dent and promotion director for New
York's BonWit Teller department
store. said the newspapers had
greatly assisted and could continue
to serve both the public and the
stores by maintaining constant COW
erage of news about changing wom-
ems styles and customs.
From our daily newspapers" Mrs.
Pennoyer said. we learn how to
predict styling trends. BY constant
use of our imagination. we are able
to fit our selling campaigns into the
program of available goods. If We
continue to be we'll informed
through the women'S departments
OF the newspapers, we can accurate
ly buy ahead of the trends and thus
increase our service to both the
merchardizers and the general pub
lie"
The delegates were greeted by

 Finnish Foreign Minister Sir Henrik Ramsay hurried to Berlin to attempt to soothe RibbentrOp and eventually agreed to break off the negotiations with Russia but not diplomatic relations with the United States.
