A public service program which

the Nation justifies an industry in

Johnson, president of the Institute

the Advertising Club of Washington
yesterday at a Statler Hotel

Mr.. johnson declared a major
difficulty in public relations pro-
grams is in winning the under
standing and support of persons
within the business. AS an example
he cited the life insurance campaign

PANAMA, Nov. 7.-According to
Panama's Interpretation of the
agreement under which use of de-
fense bases in Panama was granted
to the United States the sites must
be vacated by American forces by
September /, 1916, according to
Foreign, Minister Ricahdo J. Alfaro
Alfaro outlined Panama's position
to the Constituent Assembly last
night. He pointed out that the
agreement, signed May l8. 1912, pro-
vides the bases must be vacated
zone year after the date on which
the final peace agreement ending
armed conflict becomes effective"
Panama, Alfaro said, takes the
position that the unconditional sur
render signed by Japan aboard the
battleship Missouri on September l
was the final peace instrument.
United States defense installa-
tions in Panama embraced 83 sites
covering a total of $1,000 acres and
ranged from searchlight stations to
large airfields. Sixty of these sites
have reverted to Panama since VI
day, but the large installations, in

Test Pilot Eric Greenwood raced a
jet-powered Gloster Meteor over an
official 186-mile course four times
today at an average speed of 60e
miles per hours to establish an un-
official world air speed record
His best time-612 miles per hour
did not equal the 613 miles per
hour mark set by RAF Group Capt
H. j. Wilson a few minutes earlier
However, Capt. Wilson's average for
four runs was only 602 miles per
hour and officials said the average
speed and not the speed on any one
run would stand as the record
Greenwood built up momentum in
a 60-mile fight from inland before
roaring down the official course,
which was marked by ground lights
and barrage balloons moored at $50
feet altitude. High speed cameras

of the Automobile Manufacturers
