What the NSRB Is Up To Straws In the Wind

Story of the Week
“Truth is stranger than fiction,” they say, and sometimes good anec- dotes come to life. For a funny yarn that was pure fiction, turn to the “story of the week” in the February 9 issue. Herewith, it comes to life:
Recently the five Firestone brothers paid a visit to the Motor City to show a series of their movies to auto executives. On the evening of their arrival, they rounded up several of Detroit’s outstanding motor admin- istrators, plus an accordion, and ascended to their quarters in the presidential suite of the Book Cadillac for a little harmonizing.
As midnight approached, and the vocalizing had become truly mellow, a knock was heard at the door. In stepped a youngish fellow, nattily at- tried in a dubonnet-tinted bathrobe and a jaunty beret.
“T heard you singing,” he explained, “and I like to sing, myself. Mind if I join you?”
The session continued until 3:30 a.m., and the guest turned out to be James Melton, who had just finished a concert at Masonic Hall.

G-E Answers Charges On Price Cutting
NEW YORK CITY—As the legal battle continued between General Electric Co. and Monarch-Saphin Co., Inc., New York, one of nine retailers which the manufacturer seeks to have enjoined from selling its prod- ucts at less than fair-traded prices, G-E and G-E Supply Corp. had filed these answers to counter-charges by the dealer:
1. G-E denied that it is the leading price cutter of its own products or that it has, by its own acts, caused a competitive situation which has forced businessmen to cut prices on G-E products in order to stay in busi- ness and retain customers.
2. G-E denied that there is any- thing unfair in permitting employes to purchase its products at a dis- count.
3. G-E said it is not responsible for the actions of G-E Supply Corp., since the subsidiary is operated by its own management and is in no sense an agent of General Electric in the resale of G-E home appliances.
4. G-E Supply Corp. declared that its policy is not to sell home appli- ances at retail but that isolated and infrequent sales may have been made

Steel Cut May Not Aid Appliance Prices
NEW YORK CITY—United States Steel Corp.’s previously announced plans for cutting steel prices will mean a $2 a ton reduction in cold- rolled strip and sheet steel for the appliance and automotive industries, the company indicates.
Although this represents a distinct downward trend, it is thought un- likely that this price cut will be re- flected in significant price reductions on appliances because it is relatively small.
Largest price cut announced by U. S. Steel was $5 a ton for wire rope, bale ties, and screen cloth.
The company also indicated that the $3-a-ton differential previously paid at its Geneva, Utah, plant is being eliminated. Thus, steel prod- ucts made there will cost no more than those made in the company’s other plants.
Prices of stainless steel have not been changed, but Benjamin Fairless, president of the company, said that they were under consideration at the present time.
Kelvinator Dealers Get ‘Group Life’ Policies
DETROIT, May 10—The first de- velopment of its kind in the field, an exclusive personal group life in- surance plan, is now being offered at no cost to Kelvinator and Leonard appliance dealers by Refrigeration Discount Corp., Nash-Kelvinator finance subsidiary, C. R. Brogan, manager, announced today.
ReDisCo also was the first to offer customer life insurance.
“Often the death of an officer, partner, or proprietor of a business results in an immediate monetary loss to his business associates or heirs since it may be necessary to liquidate assets at a loss to meet immediate expenses and reorganize the business,”’ Brogan said. ‘“‘The best way to provide for protection against such a contingency is through in- surance.

3-Day Meeting, Show On Coast Pulls 1,100
By Phil B. Redeker
SAN FRANCISCO—The Western Refrigeration Educational Exhibit and Conference, first in a series of regional educational meetings jointly sponsored by Refrigeration Equip- ment Manufacturers Association and Refrigeration Service Engineers So- ciety, drew a registered attendance of some 1,100 persons to a three-day conclave of educational exhibits and meetings last weekend at the Palace hotel here.
Over-all reaction to the educa- tional-conference idea was very much on the favorable side. Those attend- ing the exhibits and technical ses- sions who were queried on the benefits obtained were nearly unanimous in asserting that they had learned much that would be beneficial to them in carrying on their refrigeration work.
“All of us have problems and ques- tions about our work or some par- ticular type of equipment, and we had a chance to put these questions to some of the top experts in the business,”’ said one contractor.
“We think it would be wise for manufacturers participating in future shows to put their top men into them, rather than their regional men, because the guy in the field coming to them wants to put his problems before the highest possible authority,” said another visitor.
Reaction of the manufacturers who exhibited, while mixed, was gener- ally on the favorable side. Some ex- pressed the feeling that the attend- ance might have been somewhat greater (some had predicted that 2,000 might attend).
All exhibitors were pretty well agreed, however, that the interest shown by those attending was on a very high level, and carried out the express purpose of the conference. Many of the personnel working the booths said that the “education” was “reciprocal’’—that they would take back to the factory many valuable ideas and suggestions gleaned from their conversations with those at- tending the affair.
A registration fee of $1.00 served to keep out curiosity seekers and others who might have muddled up the proceedings.
Originally it was planned to have meeting sessions with technical talks on Saturday and Sunday mornings only (May 1 and 2), but in plans formulated shortly before the meet- ing opened, full sessions of talks and company educational movies were scheduled for both afternoons, also.
In addition, there were ‘question and answer” forums with boards of experts answering questions before the start of each session.

Westinghouse Strike Vote Remains Doubtful
PITTSBURGH—Whether the CIO United Electrical Workers will call a strike against Westinghouse Electric Corp. in an attempt to achieve its wage increase and pension demands still remains in doubt. :
After halting its talks with the company recently, apparently stymied by the company’s having reduced prices on many of its products, the union had called a meeting of mem- bers to seek approval for its confer- ence board to take a strike vote.
This meeting was postponed, re- portedly because of the weather.
The union is seeking a “‘substantial wage increase” and a $120 a month pension for employes 65 years or older.
Clayton & Lambert Develops 8-Ft. Gas Refrigerator
LOUISVILLE, Ky.— An. 8-cu. ft. gas-fueled, absorption type, house- hold refrigerator has been developed by the Clayton & Lambert Mfg. Co. here after three years of research and development, stockholders learn- ed at the recent annual meeting of the company.
Those attending the meeting were given a preview of the unit, which uses a constant pressure air-cooled system and ammonia as the refrig- erant. Divided into frozen food and general refrigerator compartments with separate doors, the unit main- tains temperatures of 0° F. and 38° F. respectively.
“Considerable interest in our re- frigerator development has been evi- denced by technicians of gas utilities
who were privileged, in recent weeks, |
to gauge its performance,” Charles F. Lambert, president, told the stock- holders.
It was reported that the American

New ‘Freon’ Plant Boosts Output 60%
EAST CHICAGO, Ind.—A new plant has begun manufacturing “Freon” fluorine refrigerants here and officials of Kinetic Chemicals, Inc., say it will increase production capacity for these products by 60%.
Construction of the new plant started last August.
Shipments from East Chicago are in ton-capacity containers only. Smaller cylinders will continue to be shipped from Carney’s Point, N. J. However, Kinetic officials warn, more “Freon-12” cannot be shipped unless more shipping containers become available.
Raw materials are now in adequate supply for the year’s production, they say, and shipments will be increased

Vacuum Dries Clothes In Bendix-Rand Washer
SOUTH BEND, Ind.—The “radi- cally different’? automatic washer which Bendix Home Appliances, Inc. acquired when it purchased the H. J. Rand Washing Machine Corp. re- cently has as its chief feature an unusual drying system, it has been revealed.
Tank of the Rand washer is lined with rubber. In drying the clothes, water and air are pulled out of the washer by a motor-driven pump which creates a vacuum.
This causes the rubber lining to collapse, squeezing the clothing dry, and, in addition, lowers the boiling point of the water that remains until it passes off as steam.
Bendix hopes to have the new washer on the market by this fall.
Maytag Picks Newton for Automatic Washer Plant
NEWTON, lIowa—Home of the Maytag Co., this city will also have the company’s new $5,000,000 auto- matic washer plant, according to Fred Maytag II, president.
There had been sharp competition between Newton and other cities in Iowa and other states in bidding for the plant ever since Maytag had made his original announcement in February about the new plant.
He had then declared that its loca- tion was in doubt because of New- ton’s lack of utility, transportation, and housing facilities.
Stiff Exam Set
For Contractors By Calif. Law
Firms Must Have Employe Who Can Pass Specific Refrigeration Tests
SAN FRANCISCO — California firms who want to operate as a refrig- eration contractor will henceforth be required to have at least one man in their employ pass a_ specific refrigeration examination, according to an amendment to the state Con- tractors Licensing Law which became effective May 1.
Formerly, in order to get a Con- tractors’ License, it was necessary for a refrigeration firm to qualify a man under a general examination on contracting work, but the law now reads as follows:
Scope of Examination
Part 1 (Old) Examination will cover a general knowledge of the con- tractors’ license law, mechanics’ lien law, labor laws (embraces question regarding employment regulation and supervision, work- men’s compensation insurance, safety in employments), and com- mon business knowledge.
Part 2 (New) Sec. 1. Elemental and fundamental knowledge of refrig- eration.
Sec. 2. Identification from photo-
graphs of refrigeration tools, parts,
equipment, fittings, devices, etc.
Sec. 3. Nomenclature: Typical
“Freon” installation for a walk-in
box.
Sec. 4. Selecting equipment, esti-
mating quantities, and figuring a
bid on the above “Freon” walk-in
box.
Various segments of the industry were asked by the state examinations board to submit material sufficient to make two or three complete ex- aminations. The questions will be rather “stiff,” one authority predicted.
It will be necessary for a firm to qualify one man in its organization in order to obtain a license. A licensed contractor will be enabled to work on jobs involving any changes or additions to a _ building. This means, in effect, that all refrigeration firms doing installation work would need a license. Those who did re- frigeration service work only might get by without one.
Another big factor that makes it

Redmond Small Motor Prices Slashed 10-16%
OWOSSO, Mich.—Price reductions up to 16% on practically all alternat- ing current induction types of frac- tional horsepower electric motors manufactured by Redmond Co., Inc. here, have been announced by Lewis Hamlin, executive vice president.
Reductions average approximately 10% on motors formerly selling in the $2.50 to $8 price range.
Effective May 1, this is the second price reduction made by Redmond since last December when a 5% cut was announced on these same motors.
Boasting a total production ca- pacity of 35,000 motors per day and employing 3,000, the company manu- factures motors up to_45-hp. for use in a variety of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning applications.
Concerning these reductions, Ham- lin said, “Our success in bringing about certain important manufactur- ing efficiencies has made these cuts possible. We believe there is only one way to avoid the catastrophe of a serious inflation—make a concen- trated effort to streamline production methods, then pass the benefits along to the consumer.”

Production Up, Electromaster Range Still Trails Demand
MT. CLEMENS, Mich.—All present members of the board of directors of Electromaster Inc., manufacturer of electric ranges, were re-elected at the annual stockholders meeting held in the company’s plant.
R. B. Marshall, president, told the stockholders the demand for the com- pany’s electric ranges from prac- tically every distributor’s territory still exceeds the supply. Finished units move direct from the assembly line into waiting box cars and trucks without the need of storage, Marshall stated.
The company’s production of elec- tric ranges for the first quarter of 1948 is 61% ahead of the correspond- ing period of 1947.

Committee Representing
Mills Creditors Sets New Meeting June 28
CHICAGO—An unofficial commit- tee representing creditors of Mills Industries, Inc., was made official at the first meeting of creditors held April 19, but there was no hearing on the plan of arrangement, the com- mittee reported.
Another meeting to consider the plan was set for June 28, starting at 10 a.m. In the meantime, the com- mittee said, “steps can be taken to consider the contemplated plan in the interest of creditors.”
Members of the creditors’ commit- tee elected at the meeting are F. E. Gibson, Graybar Electric Co., chair- man; Nolan Browning, Bank of America; F. J. Sherwin, Chicago Hardware Foundry Co.; C. L. Shep- hard, Gale Mfg. Co.; R. T. Anderson, Operadio Mfg. Co.; L. W. McBride, Wagner Electric Co.; and Earl Diehl, Westinghouse Electric Corp. James S. Cox, of the Chicago Association of Credit Men’s Service Corp., is secre- tary.
In a letter to creditors, the com- mittee announced that A. E. Tre- ganza has been elected executive vice president and is directly in charge of plant operations. The letter con- tinued:
“We have been furnished state- ments as of March 31, 1948, which show net sales for the month of March were $1,199,825.93 and net loss for the month of March $53,152.72 (included in this loss are depreciation adjustments, factory $48,438.68, ad- ministration $1,179.87). The closing

“We are advised that the company has been meeting current obligations promptly and they anticipate proper provision for future current pur- chases. We are further advised that no additional loans have been nego- tiated with any lending institution covered by debtor’s certificate.
“Management indicates substantial progress due to seasonal period at hand and no doubt April and May results will indicate this factor.”
Special Biological Unit Brings Druggist Sales
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Dramatic use of an ordinary domestic refrig- erator converted for biological and vaccine storage has built sales con- siderably for the Prescription Center here, according to Max and Helen Rosenbaum, owners.
The refrigerator, an 8-cu. ft. model, has been outfitted with eight stainless steel drawers, which occupy 90% of its interior space. Each of the stainless steel drawers is divided into a different type of refrigeration- requiring biological drug, such as insulin, injectable vitamins, serums, vaccines, and viruses.
The store carries many unusual specialties which have made it one of the best-known prescription stores in the South—such as a_ special insulin for diabetic patients which is available nowhere else in the area.
The front of the refrigerator features an enameled red cross, with arms 12 in. long, symbolizing the medical importance of the box. Let- tered on the face are the words
—® “biologicals, vaccines, and injectable
vitamins.” ;
Since the refrigerator is set up immediately behind the window and adjacent to the entrance, it attracts far more attention than a refrigera- tor back in the prescription section, such as is the usual practice.
Literally thousands of wealthy Miami Beach visitors, many with diabetes, and scores of regular cus- tomers of the apothecary drugstore have been obtained merely through sight of the box, according to the management.
Bynum Appointed General Sales Head for Carrier

Oo. W. Bynum and subsequently southern region manager and then district manaer for Chicago. In 1946 he became man- ager of direct sales.
Rohrbach Elected President
Of Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc.
