them, suggesting some particular re-
creational activity, or some diStinc-
tive feature of the region pictured by
the panorama.
In the "Hall of Development
twelve symbolic figures give a dy-
manic representation of the States
economic accomplishments and de-
velopmental opportunities. The fig
ures are twelve feet high, built in
two and three-dimensional form.
They represent respectively, climate,
timber, agriculture, water power,
minerals, textiles, tobacco, manufac-
turing, transportation, people, edu-
cation, and government. No parti-
cular products are named, and no
particular regions designated in this
section--tFc c-'''il,it II entirely gen
eral for the whole State.
Each of the twelve figures is set
in a broad panel to itself, separ-
ated from the adjoining figure by a
slight partition. In the lower portion
of each of these panels is 'robo-
phone, device employing record
ings and a loud-speaker which tells
pertinent facts about the State in a
clearly audible voice, yet not loud
enough to interfere with the adjoin-
ing panel. Underneath each figure
will be a small translucent panel on
which will be projected a series Of
slides offering pithy facts about the
subject Each figure in the "Hall OF
Development" emphasizes some fac
tor favoring exploitation of the
States undeveloped resources. Gil
mate, for instance, is presented here
not as a tourist attraction, but as a
valuable adjunct to industrial ac-
tivity.
AT one end of the exhibition hall
will be a large historical exhibit,
containing a scale model of the ori-
ginal airplane in which the Wright
brothers made the first successful
flight at Kitty Hawk, and historical
vignette memoralizing the establish
ment of the first English settlement
in the New World on North Caro-
lina's Roanoke Island.
Other features of the exhibit will
include a huge relief map of the
State, measuring 81 by feet the
biggest relief map of single State
ever built, and the only State relief
map at Cn0 ldlr. AIlOII pdIlOIdIIllC
picture and map will depict the ex-
tent and far-flung magnificence of
the Blue Ridge Parkway. Hunting,
fishing, hiking, touring and camping
opportunities of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park will be
shown in a series of color projections.
The North Carolina exhibit will be
manned by staff of eight well-in-
formed young North Carolinians to
answer questions and disseminate in
formation about the State. The four
young men and four young women
selected for these positions will be
dressed in uniforms of North Caro-
lima homespun, and will be thorough
ly schooled in facts about their State
Before going to New York, they will
be conducted on a three weeks tour
of the State to thoroughly acquaint
them with every region and every
facility of the State.
Thoroughly impressive in its struc-
ture and design, North Carolina's
exhibit is expected to attract some
five million visitors during the sum-
mer months.

ADMIRAL WHO SpEED-LlNED UNITED STATES NAVY NOW
 WATCHESp01v GAIN MORE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 n The mathematical genius who added ex- tra miles to the speed of every mod ern warship afloat watches today from bed in Naval Hospital here while younger comrades, using his plans, make ready to add another billion dollars worth of might to the United States navy.
 The famous ship designer, whose texts have become the bible" of naval architects in every country, is Admiral David Watson Taylor. His is one of the brightest naval minds that have come out of Annapolis.
 He is the admiral who took the bone out of the teeth of high speed fighting vessels" as navy people phrase it.
 Generation of navy men knew that the huge boiling wave of frothy water which plowed ahead of fast ships was costly one, cut ting down the speed of the ship and eating up it's fuel so that it could not stay at sea so long. It was beautiful to see an old style ship blowing the waves with "a bone in her teeth" But to the navy it was a costly sight.
 It fell to Admiral Taylor to de- sign ships which cut the water instead of rolling it majestically aside in a huge wave.

 The declaration was made in a speech to the British Empire and also to the United States.
 Naval Superiority
 The Prime Min Is ter acknow- ledged the continuing losses at sea but declared they had not affected "our overwhelming naval superior ity."
