Gao. Chief Emissions
Giant Rail Merger
To Span Continent
Bv the A,seeiated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Robert r.
Young will try for another first
in railroad history. Today he dis
closed plans to establish the Ma
tion's first coast-to-coast system.
If he succeeds, he must overcome
the historic opposition of Federal
agencies to the stretching Of single
carrier systems beyond sectional
limits.
The 49-year-old Mr.. Young, who
decade ago with an investment
of less than $3,000,000 gained con-
troll of the 100000, 900 Allegheny
Corp, and in turn of more than
one billion dollars of railroad facili-
ties, is not dismayed by the failures
of earlier transportation giants in
this direction. .|.r
C. & O. Could Be Nucleus.
His plans to use his Chesapeake
81 Ohio lines &C. & O., Nickel Plate
and Pere Marquette) as the nucleus
of a transcontinental system were
outlined in an interview to be pub
lished by the magazine Advertising
Age, which the magazine said was
"read and approved" by Mr.. Young
At his winter home In Palm
Beach, Fla, Mr.. Young said he had
nothing to add" to the story as
written.
He was quoted as viewing among
Eastern possibilities in q transcoa-
tinental system the Lackawanna
from NeW5 York to Buffalo connect
i11gwittl the Nickel Plate to Chicago
and st. Louis, or the New York
Central Lines.
Allegheny Corp. announced this
week the acquisition Of 162,5o0
shares of New York Central capital
stock, representing about ~ per
cent of the shares outstanding.
Listed as Possibilities.
Western possibilities for the sys-
tenn we're listed by Mr.. Young as
the Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio
Grande and Western Pacific, or the
Union Pacific.
Mr.. Young's plan for a coast-to-
coast system is pointed up by his
experience in 1s46, when he adver-
tised his contention that transcon-
tinental passengers should not have
to change cars at midcontnent
gateways. When such service was
Instituted by major railroads, Mr..
Young was unable to arrange for
the c. g. o. to participate.

GOSPEL TALKS
Giving md Receiving
BY Rev. r. G. Valentino

"As many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the
Sons of God, even TO them that be-
lieve on His n~ame."-John 1:12.
Everywhere we are reminded that
we must do our Christmas shopping
now for Christmas will 500 be here.
With the passing of every day, the
frenzy to complete the purchase OF
gifts increases, the crowds get thick
err, the articles for sale more scarce
Everyone is concerned with the CIV
ing of gifts.
This custom is an appropriate way
to commemorate the supreme GIT
of God as "He gave His only begot-
ten Son" The early worshipers Oh
the Son bringing gifts for the Christ
child. So the season which honors
the Son given long ago is a season
of giving.
But before a gift can serve its IN
tended purpose it must be received
We would be terribly hurt after put
ting much time, expense and effort
into a gift for a loved one, he never
opened it but merely cast 1t ASIDE.
It would not make any difference
how wonderful and useful a GIT IL
might be, if it was never opened !.
would v bring any JOY nor Wouio
it serve any purpose.
1t seems unbelievable that any
n would would receive a NICE gnt
and treat it in such a way. Yet now
stubborn and unresponsive are many
who treat the gift of God in sucn a
way. "As many as received HIM
implies that some did not receive
Him. Today some 60 on spurning the
gift of Gods love. God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begot-
ten Son, that whatsoever believetn IN
Him should not perish but nave
everlasting life."-John 3:16. He is
freely offered as the gift OF Goo
bringing salvation and joy to lost
| sinners. That is Gods gift to sinners
receive His Son and appropriate
for yourself by faith the blessings
He waits to bestow.

COP Starts l948 Victory Drive
 With Speeches

WASHINGTON, (P) - The Re publican party rededicated itself today to the principles of it's first President, Abraham Lincoln, and sent its orators far and wide to start beating the victory drums for l948.
 Scores of Lincoln Day dinners part of more than 600 being held over a period of ten days-were scheduled tonight in nearly all states except the south.
 Most of the party's potential Presidential candidates next year are on the speaking programs Gov. Thomas E. Dewey at Albany; Senator Robert A. Taft at Charles ton, w. Va; Harold E. Stassen at New York City; Senator John w. Bricker at Toledo, and Gov. Dwight H. Green at Springfield, III.
 Stassen planned to speak on a world economic policy, Taft and Bricker on domestic issues.
 There is talk that Bricker may announce soon his withdrawal from the 1948 Presidential picture in favor of his fellow Ohioan, Taft
 The Lincoln Day rallies are the counterpart to the Democratic party's Jefferson Day dinners com ing in April. Both are designed tC raise funds for the next Presiden- tial campaign.
 Republican national chairman Carroll Reece, a former Tennessee Congressman, who also has been proposed for the Presidential nom-

ination of his party, continued the Lincoln Day speech drive in Chi cago last night and will talk in St. Paul tonight. He said this country in the last IS years has "strayed far away" from Lincolnian prin. ciples and added:
 We have seen the growth in Washington of an irresponsible and confused bureaucracy, many members of which seem to be in tent upon suppressing, or at least disregarding, the basic rights of our citizens.
 More recently, we are begin ming to uncover evidence that, in some parts at least, this bureau cracy was corrupt, as well as in- efficient and extravagant. ..
 We may expect additional evi- dence along that line during the coming months"
 Chairman Wiley R.-WisD, of the Senate judiciary committee, speaking at another party rally in nearby Bethseda, Md, said Amer ica must keep her powder dry while trying to make the United Nations an effective organization for world peace.
 We have not forgotten that af- ter the first world war the league of nations was organized" he said. "Why, we even abolished war with the Kellogg-Br pact But war came.
 "Now folks are talking about outlawing the atomic bomb. But the Republicans say that we pet ter keep our national police ana fire departments ready to go into action instantly for our own safety and our peace"

Less Electricity In Britain

LONDON, (P)-The ministry of fuel and power announced today that domestic electricity restric- tions would be extended through out the country tomorrow.
 The daily cuts will be for five hours duration-from 8:30 am. to 11:30 a.m., and from 1.30 pm. to 3:30 p.m., except in the southwest, where they will be from 9 to noon and from 2 to 4 pm.
 Drastic street lighting reduc- tions, amounting to blackout con- ditions, also will be imposed by night.
 The ministry simultaneously ap- pealed to gas consumers to "get down to really serious economy to assure supplies for essential in dustries, including bakeries.
 "You cannot really let the gas works run right out of coal' a spokesman said.
 Between five and six million workers were estimated by a board of trade spokesman to have been thrown out of jobs, many onto the dole, by Britain's coal crisis.
 Only northern Ireland was ex- cepted from the new electricity conservation order.
 The coal savings resulting from electricity cuts yesterday, the sec
The Nome nugget., 1947-02-12

ond day of the industrial restric- tions, totaled 24,50O tons, officials announced. This was 2,000 more than the saving Monday.
 The spokesman for the board of trade, a government bureau com parable to the U. S. department of commerce, forecast an even great CT shutdown for next week, with unemployment spreading to all parts of the country.
 Shipping centers reported it was too early to estimate the effect of the shutdown on export trade. The chamber of commerce at Liver pool, however, warned: Disaster is imminent"
 Prime Minister Attlee tonight is sued an order under the wartime defense regulations, for fines and prison sentences for any of the 49,- 000,000 Britons who defy an is- land wide limitation on household electricity.

entirely forgotten. It might be well II we
gave it a thought now and then.
At the University of Chicago attempts are
being made to bring some of our postwar
hopes to life. 1t was on the campus OF that
university that the atomic age arrived i've
wears ago, when a group of scientists set OFT
the first successful nuclear chain reaction.
TODAY. ON that same campus, some $50 scien-
tists-including many of the most famous
names of atomic reasearch-are seeking new
useful beneficial %by-products of their de-
structive knowledge.
The university's program is somethlng OIL
a gamble, since most of its $l2,0O0,OO buoget
is on the books but not in the bank. 4et'
it was decided to go ahead because, as Chan-
cellor Robert Hutchins put it, the United
States will hold its world leadership IN
science and industry only as long as it main
tains> its leadership in the knowledge OF the
atom"
Atomic science already can do u things
as trace the circulation of the blood by
means of radioactive sodium atoms; trace
a plants absorption of fertilizer by radio
active nitrogen; watch" the movement OF
impurities inside a piece of steel with the
help of radioactive carbon.
But atomic science is also considering such
questions as these: Why do metals, pllaole
in their pure state, become brittle when
strengthening alloys are introduced? Why
will metals stand a constant strain better
than vibration?
Atomic science is seeking the cause and
cure of cancer with new weapons. 1t is even
daring to ask the secret of life itself.
The answer to these questions could work
an amazing difference in human existence
by saving time and money, opening new IN
dustries, altering present structures and de-
signs, conquering fatal diseases and prolong-
ing healthy, useful life.
At the University of Chicago these
are being sought without recourse to puohc
funds or. as noted above, without sufficient
funds from any source at present. The pro-
gram expects help from industries which
might benefit from its research, and from
philanthropists who believe in Its purposes
And some help is already forthcoming
It cost 50, 900, 900, 900 to produce the flrst
atomic bomb. Against that figure, the Uni
versitv of Chicago gamble Of $l2,Ooo,ooo
seems modest indeed.

Progressive Wallace

Tho Star makes its deepest bow to the
enterprising tobacconlsts, merchants ana Jus
plain citizens of nearby Wallace who've pool
ed their efforts this year - and other years
- TO make their community one OF the nioS
progressive in the State.
In a special section OF the star
TODAY YOU will read about activity in Wallace
during the current tobacco season. FRO"
these news stories you will learn that the
Wallace Tobacco Market is approaching
something of a local record for NUMBER OF
mounds of tobacco sold in any one season
you will also read tina Wallace has taken
q nlaoe as a market on which farmers may
expect to receive higher prices Tor tnel1
tobaeeos.
Put our bow is made to the Wallace com
r,,.nitv as a whole as we'll as TO the tobacco
~,arehousemen who've led their market te
the top.
The Star for years has watched the wal
lace section develop as the center OF one o.
the most diversified agricultural regions III
Southeastern United States.
In Wallace farmers find a ready marKe'
for such varied commodities as beans, GU
cumbers corn, potatoes, squash, and on dow1
the line of groceries. It is recognized as ons
Of the leading strawberry markets OF the
world. This year, we learn, the Wallace
Tobacco Market will be at or near the TOT
for total pounds sold for one set OF buyers
anywhere in the flu-cured tobacco belts.
This market brings in millions OF dollars
each year to the farmers of Duplin, Fender.
Sampson, Onslow, Brunswick, Baden
Columbus and New Hanover Counties
It is a veritable center of trade for the
great AGRICULTURAL area that is Southeastern
North Carolina.
The commercial leaders in Wallace fully
recognize their responsibilities to this sec
ton of our State. They have provided
facilities for handling farmers products
They have builded business firms to care
for the farmers needs.
This year alone, we learn, there has al
ready been $780, 900 worth of new COM
mercial construction in Wallace and the
chances are that this figure will be swelleo
to a round million before the year is over
The tobacco warehousemen have led in
this development by building additional
warehouse space at a cost approximately
$500, 900. They have built for Wallace's fu-
ture development which they are confident
will come.

"A Modest Gamble

Az OF us must sometimes wonder what has
become OF the plans for that better postwar
world which were drawn up 80 hopefully in
the last months before victory. 1t was to be
q peaceful world, of course. But, If YOU will
recall, it was also to be a world of greater
production and efficiency, greater convenien-
ce, comfort and health.
Research into the means of building armies
and more deadly weapons was to produce
the tools for better, fuller living. The cloth
ing design for an all-weather war was to
give us better, cheaper garments. The
knowledge that went into bombers and
fighters was to produce a better airplane.
The genius that made possible the atomic
bomb was to open up a whole new field OF
knowledge.
We don't hear much about that postwar
world now. Around us are neither stable
peace nor greater comfort nor improved
health. Our attention is forcibly directed
to disagreement and danger and misery
Yet ras hssseg postwar world has sas haa1
