Situation Changed
Everyone who has had any ex-

and marketing knows that only
two or three years ago. the tobac-
co trade was requesting a bright
thin tobacco low in nicotine and
high in sugar content and now
the request is. for the character
istics that will give more flavor
and aroma.
The shift has been from one
extreme to the other; however.
there is medium between these

of the consumer whether it be at
home or abroad. Based upon the
transition that has been taking
place in the tobacco industry for
the past several years and more
particularly for the last two years,
it will necessitate some major
changes in production practices
to meet these changes.
To comply with these changes,
the following practices in 1857
should be helpful in meeting the
desires of the buyer and consum-
er:

produce tobacco with acceptable
flavor and aroma where recon-
mended production practices are

Capers In Senate
Memory OF Taft

Washington, Jan. 2l-Some un-
usual maneuvers have filled the air
in the u. S. Senate. They involve
the leaders Of both since this ses-
SIGN began. and parties in the upper
legislative body-Majority Leader
Lyndon Johnston an d Minority
Leader William KnoWland.
The first surprise came when a
resolution which would have chang
ed the rules of the Senate was
turned aside rather easily. It looked
like Minority Leader Knowland, in
following this course, had crossed
horns with Vice President Richard
Nixon1who originally limited he felt
the Senate was a continuing body
but who wound up supporting the
rule-c change effort
KnoWland. however. came up with
his own rules change resolution inn
mediately after the defeat OF the
Douglas-I4umphrey move. And he
also announced he would not run
for another Senate term. Then Ma
jority Leader Lyndon Johnson joined
the Knowland resolution to change
rule %.

a presidential nomination in 1860

A vast, new ocean of cir was at the doorstep of
men everywhere. And men began using it. The
once far corners of the world are visited today
by even the 2-week vacationer. Between ma
tions the barriers of geography are down. The
free exchange of tourists is becoming major
force for greater international understanding.
The page of 1927 has been turned. And Pan
American has begun new chapter in the
progress of commercial aviation by being the
first us. airline to buy and to fly jet aircraft.
In 1859 international air travellers will be
soaring between continents on the swept-back
wings of Pan Americans Jet Clippers =. i. i. and
into exciting New Horizons.
The goal is ever this: 'That travel, like edu-
cation, need no longer be luxury"

nearly $4,000. Every 215 minutes Clipper
is taking of or landing somewhere in the 50
lands on continents covered by Pan Amer
leans world wide network of routes.
But Pan Americans pioneering had just
begun in 1927. Aircraft facilities in many
countries had to be built: Pan Am built
them. Aircraft design and fight engineering
had to progress; Pan Am took the lead. An
impressive series of ''Firsts" resulted. First in
Latin America, First in the Pacific, First on
the Atlantic, and First Round the World.
: The problems of travel time solved, Pan
American attacked the final barrier Of cost
pressed for and won low-cost overseas tourist
fares; followed later with the Inauguration of
the Worldwide Plan, Go Now-Pay Later.

But this, too, was 1927: On October %, from

sound of engines swelled to roar as Pan
