...this brought an indignant denial from Lord McGowan, a deep British rum ble about "iniquitous charges." From Du Font's President Carpenter came a statement which was wide-eyed with surprise: "The Du Pont Company has for years had an agreement with Imperial Chemical Industries ... to acquire patent licenses. . . . The existence of the agreements has never been concealed. . . . Copies have been in the possession of government agencies for approximately ten years. They have been before several committees of Congress. . . . The action of the Department of Justice at this particular time in our war effort is difficult to understand...
...Font, Ready Knife. Frequently there is not enough type to go round. In September the supply of "I"s ran out during composition of ARMISTICE SIGNED BY ITALIANS. A native Papuan printer chiseled some out of wood. Another time there were not enough "R"s. Editor Leonard gave capital "P"s tails cut from...
...Only 735,000 tons of the program is the all-purpose Buna-S synthetic (the rest is specialty stuff like Du Font's oil-resistant Neoprene). Thus only 5,000,000 new civilian tires (plus 7,000,000 still stockpiled) are in sight this year, only 30,000,000 new tires next year to keep 25,000,000 U.S. automobiles rolling. That many, said Jeffers, is "a military necessity." Clearly the casual driver is still out in the cold and the essential driver must drive carefully and sparingly...
Safety engineers, who must also see that a plant is well ventilated and cleaned, urge workers to use new industrial skin creams (e.g., Du Font's "Pro-Tek"), which have been concocted to guard the skin from irritating chemicals. Insurance companies, which often have to fork over for industrial dermatoses, also encourage their use. Sales have doubled in the last year, and girls leave aircraft plants with smooth hands, after degreasing plane parts all day. But most doctors sniff at these industrial cosmetics. They claim that cleanliness will do the same trick...
...capacity to produce 800,000 tons in 1944-which begins to approach the United Nations' essential needs. (The civil consumer is out until 1945, at best.) Of that 800,000 tons, 100,000 will be specialty rubbers; 60,000, Standard Oil's famed butyl; 40,000, Du Font's long-established neoprene-strategic for self-sealing gas tanks, oil-resistant hose lines, etc. The rest will be what chemists designate as Buna-S, which has recently given road-test performances up to 130-160% of the best wearing qualities of natural rubber. The emergence of Buna...
