INTO PEN COMPANY ever ran an IN advertisement like this. No pen company ever had to. The Parker Pen Company is in peculiar and unique wartime position, and because several millions of the pen buying public are involved, we use this public means to explain.
 The public is involved in this way: we ad- vertise our product regularly even though we realize that few Parker "51" pens are now available anywhere in the world. Why then do we advertise!
 A business selling trade-marked article, like Elgin Watch or Frigidaire or Buick, to the general public must keep its name in lights during Hull whether 1t sells or not. The public forgets unpub- licized trade names with disconcerting promptness. It would be very easy to slip from position of leadership into second or third position and naturally we would not like to risk the shift.

 Therefore, of our current total pen pro- duction (about one-half of 1941 produc- tion), approximately only one-tenth has been available to civilians of this country.

 Nevertheless The Parker Pen Company will, for reasons given below, continue its strict and impartial quota rationing sys- tenn indefinitely just as it did while the WPB order was in effect, and just as it did, voluntarily and self-imposed, nine months before there was WIPE order limiting pen production.

 Knowing our uncomfortable market posi- ton, the U. S. Navy has given us permis- sion to disclose some information about our munitions manufacturing program.
 The U. s. Navy was charged with the development of Rocket Firing, both for itself and for the Army. Rockets are vitally important evolution in warfare. Rocket firing, in effect, puts heavy artil- lery into the air. A rocket missile IS equiv alent in destructive power to the missile fired by mult-ton gun on the ground. Yet a fighter aircraft can take aloft and fire six rocket missiles.
 These rocket missiles have fuze which detonates the main explosive charge with certain small delay after the rocket hits the target. The slight delay gives the mis- sile time to Shoulder" into the target armor and then let go with everything. The manufacturing technique involved must be vigorously precise.
 The Parker Pen Company was the first manufacturer of these fuzes in the United States. It helped with some ofthe develop ment work. These fuzes require Pains-

taking precision in manufacture and as- sembly for they must not explode acci- dentally or prematurely, yet they must be certain to explode when intended. After fighter pilot has risked his life to ap- proach within target range, there must be no failure in the missile.
 Enemy gun supplements on Saipan, Guam, Palau, the Philippines and many other invaded areas have been put out of action by these missiles. Many enemy ships lie at the bottom of the Pacific be- cause they met up with American boys in fighter craft armed with rockets. Other fuzes we produce (for the Army) bear official priority rating Emergency Urgent Critical"
 No commercial considerations could in- duce us to edge away from this rocket program, or from any other munitions we produce until the requirement for munitions is substantially decreased, or more manpower is available for civilian manufacture. In fact we are currently over-producing by 8.89o above munitions contract requirements.
 We could produce more fountain pens without interfering with munitions out put by putting fewer manhours into each pen unit. Every Parker Pen is designed and made to give many years of service, and it is not product that lends itself to hasty, slip-shod, mass-production methods. The parts are soundly and care- fully made and assembled with precision adjustment. They cannot be thrown to- gether and shoveled out.

End Of Cigarette Shortage Seen
With Increased Shipments Here

Shipments to Washington of most
Of the popular brands of cigarettes
will be increased from Is to so per
cent within a week, it was learned
today, and in the opinion of several
wholesalers, will virtually solve the

The increase is attributed to 331s

during May, June and July. The cut
back is making available approx
mately 200,O00,0 900 packages of Gig
arettes for national distribution

Department estimates.
In some cases the increased allo-
cations to local distributors will have
the effect of giving jobbers more

period, which is either 1912 or 1943
both normal years.
All jobbers have been rationed by
manufacturers and until now have

of their base period.

Will L. Clayton today denied
that certain American industries

Testifying as the first witness at
Senate Finance Committee hearings
on. the ouse-approved reciprocal
trade agreement bill, he said rumors
to this effect had been freely circu-
lated, and commented:
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. The State Department
has >never construed the Trade
Agreements Acts as a license to re-
make the industrial or agricultural
pattern of America. The record OF
II years of administration of the act
should prove that"
Before Mr.. Clayton began, Sen
ator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets urged short Senate hearings
on the grounds that the the main
issue has been narrowed down to
the question of whether the Presi-
dents power to cut tariff rates
should be increased further. The
Senator said he assumed no one is
opposing a mere extension of the
authority to make trade agreements
under the present law, which ex-
pires June IL.

of South Dakota took the view that,
while the hearings should be ex-
