TWO THE DAILY MAIL, HAGERSTOWN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1941. DRAFT BE Pangborn Advertising Now Urging Industry To Meet New Situation Limit Is Fixed At 20; Measure Then Sent To White House Dec. Congress cleared the way Friday for a army by approving and sending to President velt legislation requiring the registration of all, men from IS to 64 years old, inclusive, and making The speed with which modern industry gears itself to changes and emergencies in public relations is vividly demonstrated by the quick revamping of the Pangborn Corporation's national advertising prepared for January issues of industrial trade journals throughout the United States. Before the infamous stab in the back at Pearl Harbor the advertising division of our local manufacturing corporation had complete copy and layout in the hands of typographers and engravers for a ject to military'service. Officials at Selective Service headquarters said the registration probably would not begin before "several weeks." Although the new draft bill makes possible an army of at those from 20 to 44, inclusive, sub- two C0lor double page spread for The Foundry magazine which goes to the foundry industries throughout the country.

This magazine is one of the 26 trade publications i that carry the corporation's world wide advertising. i These pages, measuring seven- least 4,000,000, there is no way of teea by eleven and a telling whether that many men will ever be called to the colors. Secretary of War Stimspn has said increases' in the army would be ordered "in 'the light of the stra- tegic situation as -it develops." Both houses speedily on i compromise amendments to the Selective Service Act which War Department officials said would make a total of 2,215,000 men.avail- able' in the next-; few months, in addition to the 1,800,000 now in- uniform. This included, experts said, 000 men from 21 through 35 al' ready registered and listed as im- mediately available in Class 1-A. They estimated the new bill would provide an additional 600,000 Class 1-A registrants from among year olds; 400,000 in the ages from 36 through 44; and 300,000 who have reached the age of 21 since the last registration was held.

IBy compromising on a miniraum -age of 20 for active year younger than the House desired a year older than the Senate had cut off an additional supply of 600,000 potential soldiers. But witn 100,000 youths 20 every month, Congressional leaders said there was every reason to believe that the army would get all of the men it could equip and train as fast as it could handle them. Under recently approved legislation the navy could obtain up -rto 50,000 of the selectees and 10,000. Registration of 23,500,000 men be undertaken under terms 'of the bill calling for the listing-of all males from 18 through 64. Added to the 17,500,000 already registered this would give Selective Service officials records on 41,000,000.

Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hersbey, Selective Service director, informed Congress staff was making Begin registrations within the new age limits. Regis- will be taken in age classifications at the discretion of President Roosevelt, with those subject to active service expected to be "listed first.

Hershey said that men in the latter groups would be added to the lists of those already classified under the 21 through 35 age limits and thus become subject to the draft along with them. a cook?

In picture and story they featured the production savings and economies obtainable with the Pangborn Airless Roioblast type cleaning equipment. On the Monday following the dishonorable attack upon the Pacific islands, work was stopped on the original Pangborn visualization. All material was ordered killed, and photographs, copy and artwork were started new for an entirely changed version based on the new outlook now facing the industries of the nation.

Today the plates for the revised advertising are finished and on their way to the printer in Cleveland. From the colored proof received for inspection the reader sees two strong outstretched hands, each with thumbs pointing up, outlined on a red background. A four inch heading reads "Thumbs Up." The copy follows "Everyone Must Do His Part Well" "The British have a stirring slogan for this war. 'There'll always be an England' are the the upturned thumb gives dramatic significance to their declaration. The R.

A. the Navy, the Tank Corps, all accept the 'thumbs up' salute as a pledge of courage, determination, and unlimited even to life a sacred cause. "Now that the black cloud of war has unleashed destructiveness upon the property and people of the "United States, let us accept the 'thumbs up' determination of the English people as our pledge for 1942.

"We are rightly proud that our eqxiipment helps industry grow stronger by the hour. We are proud of our Land, our Country, and our brave fighting sons at the Front. We stand solid behind them. With all our hearts and to the limit of our endurance we pledged 100 per cent 'Thumbs Up' mobilization for 1942!" The Pangborn Corporation has been a consistent user of advertising ever since its beginning in 1904.

The thousands of copies of magazines and direct mail pages that have been distributed since that time throughout the metal and process fields of industry, have carried the name of Hagerstown, Main-land, to every corner of the world. BONUS CHECKS HOTEL ATTACK Kenneth L. Boward, 26, In Critical Condition At Hospital. The condition of Kenneth L. Boward, 26, first block of South Mulberry street, who "was serious- hurt last night when he fell or was thrown down a flight of steps at the Castello Hotel, South Potomac street, continues critical, hospital attendants reported at noon today.

Two men were apprehended after Boward was taken to the Washing- pn County Hospital in an uncon- cious condition. Booked for "investigation," they dentified themselves as Brace Lutrell, 36, and Levi H. DeHaven, 37, both of Martlnsburg. Luttrell and DeHaven admitted, officers said, that they spent a greater part of the evening in a room of the hotel with Boward, but declared he must have fallen down the stairs from the third to the "second floor. Boward's head struck a radiator in the descent.

Attending physicians said he might die. Luttrell was apprehended In the hotel room by Patrolmen Kuhlman, Hamill, "Wolford and Harris while DeHaven was taken into custody in the 100 block East Franklin street by Lieut. Desmond and Patrolmen Carroll, Harris and Wolford. Patrolman Wolford sustained a broken finger in a scuffle with DeHaven. PAY BOOST (Continued From Page I) prepared to accept ANY assignment from our government with the firm conviction that we can and will do our part." This statement is understood to foreshadow important new orders for production in addition to those now on the company's books.

Mr. Boutelle's letter is as follows "To Employees of Falrchlld Aircraft: "The attached check represents additional compensation for your efforts during the last half of this year. "While we were a small company a satisfactory way for the Management to compensate you for a job "well done." However, the present war emergency that now exists has already resulted in many changes. Unquestionably, there wlil be many more changes, which neither we as a company, nor you as individuals can foresee. Therefore, the Management feels that under existing circumstances, an increase in pay of 5c an hour to all employees, effective December 22, 1941, will result in greater benefits to you than a continuation of our past policy of occasional payments for extra compensation.

This increase in pay -will reach you in each weekly pay check and will amount to more at the end of the year than you have been receiving in the past from the additional compensation payments. This increase in pay is in addiiion to pay increases earned by employees under our present Brandts Banquet Men At Hotel Alexander; Rev. Dr. Ard Speaks.

Each employe of the plant will receive a bond as a Christmas gift, the management stated, which will be in addition to the cash bonuses.

The total amount distributed this year to employes is about The cash bonuses amount to 2V 2 per cent of total earnings for the year to each employe and these show an increase this year of about 20 per cent. The fifth annual dinner of the employes was held last evening at the hotel. Max C. Fiery, sales manager, served as toastmaster and introduced the Dr. Ard who spoke on "Christmas." He said he was thankful that the light of democracy still gleams.

Democracies today, he declared, are making their last 'valiant stand. He explained how the individual is submerged in totalitarian countries. He said he would rather be the humblest citizen in America than any of the dictators in Europe. The speaker also mentioned the relationship between Christmas and peace. President Hoopes stated the firm today was in a very strong position.

In outlining the possibilities of the future, he said that he believed the company would have another successful year in 1942. despite world conditions, stating that the furniture manufacturing business uses materials which are less essential to defense. At the same time furniture products are necessary to the health and convenience of de- fenes workers and others. The employes presented to both Mr and G. Ripstra.

Hero Died In Crash (Continued from Page 1) revealed for the first time that the men with Captain Kelly in the plane were saved. "While his-airplane was a focal point of fire from strong hostile naval forces, Capt Kelly exhibited a high decree of valor and skill, placing three direct hits upon an enemy battleship resulting in its destruction," the citation said. "En route to his home air field upon completion of his mission, his airplane was set on fire by an attack of two enemy fighters. This officer ordered his crew to bail out. "Six men saved themselves thereby, but Capt.

Kelly, the last to leave the burning plane, was killed in the resulting crash." The Distinguished Service Cross also was awarded posthumously to First Lieut. Samuel H. Marett, survived by his widow, of New Braunfels, Texas. The citation on Marett said that on December 10 he took part in action near Vigan, 200 miles north of Manila, where the Japanese landed troops. "Although warned that the enemy landing forces in Vigan were well equipped with protective fire," the award read, "Lieut.

Marett courageously led his squadron with markedly inferior armament in a concentrated attack on an enemy transport. "Against a flurry of protective firing he and bis comrades strafed and re-strafed the invaders, causing great panic and destruction upon the troops packed on ships. Two transports burst into flames. "In one final and successful straight dive against a third transport his airplane was caught in the resulting blast of the exploding transport and together with the intrepid pilot was destroyed."

I Housing Problem Is Being Studied An. official of the Hagerstown Real Estate Board declared yesterday that the board and local Chamber of Commerce must furnish assurances by Jan. 5, 1942, that a definite program of housing for defense workers will be undertaken here next year. A meeting with representatives of the real estate board and others was held here this week when they met with a Washington representative and discussed the possibilities for housing in this county. The real estate board is asking local people to report all houses, rooms or apartments for rent as well as willingness or intentions of individuals to remodel, reconstruct or build houses next year.

The board official stated that if assurances of sufficient housing are not given that the government may erect a large number of housing units here. He pointed out what he considered some of the disadvantages of having these houses erected by possibly outside interests. The board claims that sufficient housing has been supplied here so far. despite of great Increase in the number of defense workers.

"The governor: wishes it to be known, that the Japanese story that he left the island is false." In the American-defended Philippine theater, U. S. Army headquarters reported heavy fighting vras developing at the predominant-' ly-Japanese city of Davao, on Mindanao Island 600 miles south of Manila, where four enemy transports landed swarms of troops at dawn today.

An official Tokyo broadcast asserted the invaders were smashing resistance U. S. Army forces and that the situation was rapidly turning favor of the Japanese. bulletin from the headquarters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, commander-in-chief in the Far East, reported tersely: "Fighting continues at Davao." On the Malayan front, where the Japanese are driving down the road to Singapore, the British, acknowledged that slight further withdrawal was carried out by our forc- without interference from the enemy." The latest withdrawal takes the British well south of the Krian river, less than 200 miles from Singapore, a London spokesman said.

Japanese bombers struck again at Manila, apparently ineffectively, and others roared over Cavite, site of a TJ. S. naval base in Manila bay. Bombs were aimed at Nichols Field, in the capital, but fell wide and exploded in the bay. There was no immediate report from Cavite.

Ruza, 60 miles west of Moscow; Tarussa, 65 miles south, "and villages west of Kaluga," a railway center 90 miles southwest, were reported recaptured by the Russians. Kaluga itself was described as partly encircled. German troops who once were more than halfway around the capital thus have been thrown back violently both above and below it.
