THE Worlds Lead In Firepower Taken by GM Detroit, June 17 lift -The Gen. eral Motors Corp., which Just a few years ago was the workl's foremost manufacturer of auto mobiles, today is the world's "big gest manufacturer of firepower" and Is turning out everything in guns from carbines to cannon, ac cording to "CM Folks," employe publication of the corporation. A total of 118.000 "shooting irons" was turned out in G M plants in one month, the publica tion stated, just five years after company engineers nnu iwuneu curiously at the first blue prints of a gun. Two years later. In May, 1SM0, the war department placed an "educational order" for 500 machine guns with a General Motors division. Today, 23 General Motors divi sions In the United Suites and Canada are producing 15 different types of weapons and assorted gun parts for the fighting forces of the United Nations, it was re ported. Auto Experience Invaluable Not only have GM engineers translated the gunsmith's craft to mass production terms, but they also have worked in co-operation with the ordinance department in the improvement of the weapons. "The production record of Gen eral Motors and the ever broaden ing flow of weapons to the fight ing fronts are good examples of the results achieved when the automobile industry focuses its resources of technical skill and management experience on the manufacturer of a war product," "GM Folks" stated. "The knowl edge of mass production methods gained through long years of ex perience in mastering the intri cacies of automotive manufactur ing and yearly model changes has proven of inestimable value in achieving quality production in an entirely new field." Smallest gun turned out by GM Is one of the army's newest weap ons the 30 caliber, seml-aut matlc carbine. It is produced, among others, by the Inland Man ufacturing division, peacetime ex perts in the moulding of rubber and plastics but with little, previ ous experience in metal fabrica tion. Machine guns were the first weapons for which GM received contracts. Four divisions, AC spark plug, Frigidaire, Saginaw Stering Gear and Crown-Lipe-ChaDman began to turn them out in the spring ol 1341. inese ju and 50-caliber Brownings were the first machine guns to be made outside the eastern small arms In dustry and also were the first made with the aid of conveyors and other assembly line tech niques. Today, the nsner uoay aivi slon's die and machine plant here Is making 3- and 5-inch naval gun breech housings, while other Fish er plants manufacture 90-mm. and 4.7-Inch anti-aircraft assemoues coming from Chevrolet and Bulck. Pontiac produces the 20-mm. Cer likon and 40-mm. Bofors anti-aircraft guns and is credited with virtual redesign of the Swiss named Cerlikon. Oldsmobile, which went into thi- gun business two years ago, now is the largest private gun plant in the country, measuring in terms of daily production of firepower. In addition to the 20-mm. cannon, it makes two types of 37 mm. aircraft cannon as well as heavy weapons for tanks and tank de stroyers. In addition to these producers of major weapons, other divisions of the firm are in production on gun control equipment, gun mounts, sub-assemblies and parts.

C Straws are not to go high-hat! OPA has de creed that straw hats maintain last year's price level. The ruling applies to panamas and other summer headgear, though strictly speaking the pop ular and perennial panama is not a straw hat, says a bulletin from tbe National Geographic society. Most Panamas worn in the Unit ed States come from Ecuador and Colombia where they are hand woven by Indians from split and bleached leaves of the palmlike to quilla. Hat-making is a home in dustry, generally a side line to farming. A simple hat may be in the making for six months. ! Shipments of panamas to the United States from Ecuador by far the largest source of supply ; have totaled more than three quarters of a million hats a year. Before the war the United States also imported 15 million ' "harvest hats" of the three-dollar- j a dozen variety. Ten million came , from the Netherlands Indies, made from pandanus leaves of hula-hkirt fame. Mexico supplied palm leaf hats; China, many of the straws. t Straw-hat making also has be come a large domestic industry. Baltimore factories have put that city first in U. S. production, though the industry began in Mas sachusetts in 1804.

Business men can not afford to spec ulate with advertising. When they buy newspaper space they can make their investments on the strength of circula tion facts and figures that arc verified. It is good business practice to buy ad vertising by such methods just as it is good business to select merchandise of known value.
