In the postwar period, he said,
'the two Carolinas will together
have a reservoir of hydro-electrlc
power probably unsurpassed by
any similar region in the world .
He suggested that such power
resources be developed and pre-
dicted an amazing growth of in
dustry in the coming years. Rur-
al identification lines should be
extended to assure electric lights
and power for every farm in the
two Carolinas.'
The inland waterway connecting
the two States ''has not been used
during this emergency to any ex-

"a wider use of our waterways

Carolinas ports had shared only
negligibly in war shipping.
Turning to the future of air trav-

the huge air base facilities located

and Navy ''has given both areas
a series of air ports of. incalc'l-
able value not only in this train
