vice complaints from Columbus
County and are thankful to the
people of the Commonwealth for
the expense to the State incur
red thereby.
However, we are not salts
fled with your conclusions for
they tell us nothing more than
we already know. Further, the
outcome of your investigation has
not altered normal telephone SER
vice in any way, which is of far
more Importance to us now than
the increase of present telephone
facilities. To Illustrate: Cd At
FIVE thirty-five p. m. EST We'd
nesday, August 20, the executive
committee of this association in
session requested me to place a
telephone call to Chadbourn, N.
9. To complete this call it is
necessary to dial the Whiteville
operator. From five thirty-fve to
FIVE fifty-five a normal ringing
signal was heard in the receiver
of my instrument but no answer
was received from the Whiteville
operator. The call was tabled by
the committee as incomplete be-
cause of lack of proper commun-
icatory service.
"(2) At eight thirty p. m. EST
Wednesday, August 20, l at
tempted to place a call to Will
mington, N. c. In order to COM
plete this call it was necessary
to dial the Whiteville operator.
To complete the call, I dialed the
Loris. South Carolina, operator,
and requested connection with
Whiteville, N. c. When the call
was complete I could hardly hear
the individual at the Whining
ton end; cause of which I sup
pose could be credited to the
devious routing of the call.
Intolerance Condition
"Frankly, this is a condition
that is intolerable since it places
our community practically with
out county and long distance tel
ephone service at undetermined
times of the day or night. If a
disaster was to result, and we
were DESTROYS of contracting the
American Red Cross in the coun-
ty or securing fire-fighting equip
ment from neighboring commun-
tiles, it would be calamitous if
our telephone service to White
vile was in the condition l have
illustrated in the above para
graphs.
Increasing telephone facili-
ties in the Tabor City area by
the installation of equipment,
that was placed on order over a
year ago, will not eliminate poor
service. If present service could
be considered good by the SUBJ
scriber, there would be no COM
plant from this community. We
are cognizant of equipment
shortages and labor tie-ups at the
suppliers end; however, it is be-
yond comprehension how this
could affect in any way existing
service.
eve sincerely hope the Utili-
ties Commission can remedy pres
ent service difficulties by a more
thorough investigation of indi-
vidual subscriber complaints"

Another American DC-6 landing
at Dallas yesterday radioed for f1re
equipment on the field. The pilot,
Capt. L. w. Bryant, said he smelled
smoke when he reversed the pro-
pellers. While no fire was found, a
short circuit had melted insulation
on one of the planes wires.
The plane forced down in Gallup
last night was en- route from San
Francisco to New York. via Tulsa
and Washington, and was piloted by
Capt. Evan w Chatfield of Tulsa

Among the passengers listed by
American was Mrs. Herbert S. Aims
worth of Silver Spring, Md. The
steWardess was Marilyn Humphrey
of Remington, Va, who formerly
was employed here at Jellefs and
once taught the third grade IN
James Monroe School, Arlington.
Also listed earlier as from Silver
Spring, was 1t. Ruth Edmonds OF
the Navy. The airline later said the
onlv such person aboard was Ruth
Edmonds of Likens, Pa.
Passengers and crew alike creo-
tied Capt. Chatfields cool work IN
the smoke filled cockpit and cabin
with saving their lives. He answered
their comments with: ITS all in the
days work"
Alerted by a smoke warning lndl-
Gator, the pilot discovered the
flames about five minutes out OF
Gallup, circled to fly across town
and brought the ship down IN
steep dive.
The passengers remained remark
ehlv cool through the whole scare,
although many of them could see
the fire streaming from beneath the
plane.
DESPITE the smoke, Capt. Chat
field set the plane down smoothly
on one side of the main runway
Later he confessed: Il couldn't
see it,"
A volunteer fire department, pre-
pared for the emergency, helped
fremen battle the flames and
brought them under control in Is
minutes. The passengers streamed
out of the plane in orderly fashion
A Jagged hole nearly 10 feet long
and S feet wide was left after part
of the fuselage was ripped away
to reach the fire.
State Senator W. E. Clarke cred

Mr.. Reuther, while the leader OF

his economic views. A former So

The anti-Reuther forces lost their
best chance of success when Mr..

Production Demands
By the Associoted Press

The CIO steelworkers' Union
declared today some important
manufacturers of steel have re-
fased to plan increases IN ca
pacity to meet heavy demands
at home and abroad.
tOtis Brubaker, union research d.
rector, said that as result the
industry is heading toward pre-
liminary opposition to most OF the
requests for aid from the Western
European countries" -.
In statement filed with the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers, Mr.. Brubaker asserted
that the world situation calls Tor
expansion of steel capacity by at
east 100000 toi~ 9 year.
2,5oo,ooo Tons Planned.
He said the industry has an
nounced plans to expand by 2,oOo.-
oof tons a year by the end OF 1s48,
but contended some OF this total
represents a revision OF previous
estimates of existing capacity which
were too conservative.
The industry estimated its ca
nacitv as of last January l at 81
241,25o tons.
Mr. Brubaker renewed the CLOS
request that the Government take
the initiative in finding a solution
IN the need for more steel, saying
that the Senate Small Business
Committee, before which he hao
appeared last spring, had failed te
act. -.-...
Conference Proposed.
Mr. Brubaker asked the Economic
Council to recommend to Preslden'
Truman a conference of industry
labor and Government representa-
tives to draw up Joint program fol
steel expansion.
Mr.. Brubaker conceded that the
steel industry's refusal to expand it,

present and future needs i
prompted by considerations which
reflect normal, conservative invest
ment and business practices, but
added:
The need, however, is natlona
and even international. 1t affect
all of our people-not just the in
vestors and businessmen. Every
branch of Government, therefore
must offer it's support to an expan'
