CaSablanca. Africa. about textile
mills producing cotton, rayon ard
other fabrics OF medium and low
grade. The department checked
with Washington authorities and
found 1t WAS permissible To send the

been done. Some orders for textiles
may result from this exchange of
correspondence.
Whether any bust
ness Tor Tar Heels can be directly
traced In this incident. il is Signifi-
cant as indicating possible new mar
| kctS for American goods after the
w;:r. The CaSablanca man said he
J had previously obtained his Supplv
of textiles from Japan. He indicated

series Oi actions resulting from a
| group of taxpayers contcSting the
legal rl2ht IT = former board of
| county commissioners to appropriate
| public money 10 certain purposes.
| The group recovered some 20 thous-
ana dollars from individual mem
| bers uf the board on the personal
/ responsibility clause. The individ-
ualS paid uvCr the money. after the
