Carolina, for example, have been known since
Colonial days. They have been worked sporadic
ally for the past SO years, but no process was
ever developed for refining the clay so that it
could be used for high-grade white ware. For fine
China, English kaolins were imported. The North
Carolina industry languished. AS a result of a
commercial research, in a IVA laboratory at
Norris, Tennessee, carried on comparatively with
representatives of the ceramics industry, several
American ceramic plants are using North Caro-
lima kaolins. The war, of course, has accelerated
the shift from imported materials. Last year,
16, 1000 tons of kaolins refined by this new process
were produced near Spruce Pine. Production this
year will be doubled, and experts predict that,
as a result Of the governments research assist
ance, this private enterprise will grow to four
or five times it's previous size. Concurrently, ex.
periments in electric firing Of kaolin were car
ried on in the same laboratory, and test ware
was successfully produced. The work in electric
firing operations which may mean a whole new
field Of industrial possibilities as well as greatly
increased use of electricity is now being con-
tinued under the direction of technicians of the
Bureau of Mines. Other local minerals-magne-
SUM, tale, scrap mica, vermiculite-al these are
under investigation. For each one Of them our
technicians appear to have discovered uses and
methods Of processing which will offer new op-
portunities for economic expansion"
MI. Lilienthal added: Only with the aid of
technical research are the opportunities for in.
vestment in local and industrial processing Of
raw materials uncovered. New industry comes
out of the laboratory. The deficiency in indus
trial research is not a result of law, but of the
force of economic circumstances; it car be re-
moved by public and private effort"
1t must be removed by public and private eff.
fort if the South is to secure the industrial de-
velopment it desires. Other competing regions
are giving their young men a higher quality OF
technical education and greater opportunities for
industrial research. If North Carolina and the
South expect to meet the competition of other
men and States in industrial development they
must build technical schools equal to the best.
There are no such high standard technical
colleges in the South today. One should grow
and help the State grow-at State College.

The admirals long service in the navy Tits
him to speak with authority on all naval mat

Given serious consideration by the govern
ment in drafting. the new emergency defense
nroeram. It is especially important, as he
points out, that the navy be enlarged as rapid
ly as possible, for protection OF our Atlantic
shores, since the Allied nayies apparently are
no longer master Of the seas and would be un'
able to render aid if an attack should be
launched against America by the European die
tators.
But it is not only for a larger navy that Ad
miral STIRLING asks. He points out the neces'
sity of guarding against a fifth column al
tack, which made the conquest of Norway and
Holland a fairly simple undertaking for the
Nazis. There is ample evidence he writes
that we have potential fifth column organ
i~zations in this country who might betray us
if we were attacked. Immediate measures tt
draw the fangs of these serpents should be
enforced
With the example of what fifth columns
have done for Germany in its European con
quests to guide us, we can we'll afford to take
the admiraIs warning at face value. We may
not believe the DIES committee has beer
worth it's cost, but must admit that its eA
posures of un-American activities by bunds
silvershirts, reds and other subversive or
CARNATIONS at least prove that a fifth column
exists and besides crusading against out demo
cratic institutions is ready to welcome the to
talitarian enemy upon an INVASION. as II
greeted the Nazis in Poland, Danzig, Scan
dinavia, Holland and Belgium, and is un
doubtedly ready with flowers if the Germans
reach Paris and London.
This is a danger that calls for as careful
defense as actual attack. No program which
does not include fifth column eradication viii
measure up to the need. Admiral sTIRI1N'
does the nation a service by again drawing
public attention to this menace.

THE BUZZARD ROLE

The bird of prey which attacks a living foe
is entitled to respect. 1t at least takes its
chance in open combat.
But the buzzard which will not light on a
living thing, but waits until the carcass is
still, stirs only deep loathing.
In the present war situation it is impossible
to view MUssoL1NI in any role but that of q
buzzard.
He waits, he says for the "hour to strike"
But the hour will not strike until one side
or the other is PROSTATE and he can share
the carrion feast without danger.

STREET

1t is stimulating indeed to know that all
the street work now going on in Wilmington
is financed by previous WPA funds, and does
not involve a penny of the new $500 allot-
ment.
That money is still available, and will not
be touched until the present fund is exhausted,
There is still approximately $4,000 in the old
fund. Judiciously used, it can accomplish
much in the improvement of the citys streets,
before the more than half a million is drawn
on.
In view of this fact, Wilmington may def
nitely count on a street system which will give
it prominence in the southeast and afford
major comfort for all who use it.
1t is planned to close unpaved gaps in streets
which in recent years have had to bear a
much heavier burden of traffic than when
early projects were undertaken. Car tracks
throughout the city will be removed and
smooth surfaces from curb to curb supple.
mented. 1t is proposed to extend Front street
and tie it in with the all too short River road
Altogether, Wilmington will have additional
reason to be grateful to the WPA which has
favored it so often.
If the city could carry its good work a STEP
further and launch a program for more ade
ton would rise up as one man to bless it.

IN TIME? PERHAPS

The present advance of the Nazi armies in
France and Belgium was really started when
HITLER was allowed to rearm the Rhineland.
1t advanced a step at Munich, still another in
Poland, and a long stride in Scandinavia.
In the years between, France and Great Brit
ain we're characterized by almost perpetual
bungling. Despite the warnings Of such men as
ANTHONY EDEN, who saw and proclaimed the
danger of what is now happening, the Paris
and London governments continued to close
their eyes to the Nazi peril, and even with the
outbreak of war put their reliance in statesmen
and military commanders of improved power.
CHAMBERLAIN was a blunder. GAMEL1N was
a blunder. The whole war policy of the Allies
was a blunder. 1t was not until HITLER had
thrown his forces into Holland and Belgium
and threatened Paris and London that Eng
land awoke and placed WINSTON CHURCHILL, a
man of action, at the helm. It was not until
Allied armies had failed to check the Nazi
drive that GAMELIN was removed from the
supreme NINA and WEYGAND, a proved
fighter, placed in his post. 1t was not until
REYNAUD recognized his own inability to cope
with the administrative problems of France
without expert military advice that he re.
linquished the important duties of military di.
rection and summoned PErA1N, the hero oil
Verdun, from Spain and surrendered to him
the task of smoothing the way Of WBYGANI
for army reorganization.
1t is another evidence of the b%ungling at
Paris and London that these changes were not
made when the supreme emergency first arose
1t is not apparent that they did not come toe
late. But it is something to find that since the
changes there has been a stiffening of Allied
resistance with result that the Nazi terror has
been slowed in it's pace and that the counter
offensive General WEYGAND has ordered has
met with some success. The German advance
has not been stopped. Its momentum was toe
great for that. But it has made less progress
toward the channel and toward Paris than
when it swept resistlessly across Holland and
Belgium and into France.
1t is something to find that under WEYGANI
the Allies have started fanking movements
which could cut German supply lines and turn
the tide of invasion; something, too, to find
that Allied air forces, despite their lesser
strength, are bombing Nazi supply bases Ell

TECHNICAL TRAINING
Raleigh News and Observer

Some idea of the importance to the State Of
North Carolina of building a great chronological
institution at North Carolina State College is
given in a recent statement Of David E. Lilien'
thai, director Of IVA. Discussing the South's
economic inequality with the other regions of
the nation, he said that IN his opinion the first
cause Of the inequalities and handicaps from
which the South now suffers is "the inadequacy
of the industrial research in the Southern re-
gion."
Already State College has done valuable work
in one field in which IVA has also been engas.

was to crush whatever French,
British and Belgian divisions

damned the Romans into a center
of enlightenment so tightly that they
could not even use their weapons

prisoners of the main Polish army.
Above and around the sack, the
German airforce performed its
correlated work of death today,
from the Channel ports almost to
the gates of Paris.
Meanwhile two hooked prongs of
the German wedge struck north
west toward the French seaport of
Boulogne, on the shoulder of the
English Channel, on a line from
st. Pol to Montreuil, and, again,
southwark toward Paris.
The channel at S narrowest
point, in the Dover straits, is but

are the chalk cliffs of England and
there, the German press dinned
today, the death knell of Britain
and her empire will be rung.
Germans said the arm of their

Dunkerque, Ostend - to burn out
the British army's escape toward
