WASHINGTON, July 81 - Up
Walter P. Reuther, president OF
the CLIO United Auto Workers, told
Congress today that steel corpora

risking 50 major depression with

Arguing that the government
should move I'M on the industry
If it fails to enlarge, Reuther
testified that the country needs
the capacity to make 100, OO0.-
0oc tons of steel annually to IN
sure full employment in 1851.
Yearly economical steel capacity
now is about 80, 900, 900 tons.
His testimony, to the House
Small Business subcommittee IN
vestigating the steel industry, was
described by Senator Cain (R.
WASH, presiding, as a "~splenolo
contribution"
Reuther challenged the estimate
of an earlier witness, president
Wilfred Sykes of the Inland steer
Corporation of Chicago, that the
probable average demand by l9oo
will be Sc, 1000, 900 tons Of unflnlsh-
ed steel - far below the present
production.
THAT would mean IS or 40 mil

Reuther declared the steel COM

Of planned scarcity, calculated
to enchance profits and to fortify
their monopoly hold over this
basic industry"

Indifferent to Obligation

Once more, as so often in recent
years, Wilmingtonians by and large
were Indifferent to their obligation to
vote on Monday. The poll books show
1913 persons registered for the pri-
mary election. Only 1854 cast ballots.
Only thirty-six and three-fourths per
cent of the eligible. voters took the
trouble to visit the polls.
Again Wilmington is to have a Coun-
Gil chosen by a minority. How can we
claim to be truly democratic when WE
fail to exercise the franchise? When
will we awaken to our responsibility
as citizens of a democracy in which
majority rule is a cardinal principle
AS it turns out and as we'll as can
be foreseen in advance, the next Coun-
Gil is we'll qualified for it's duties. Will
mington should have a sound business

;. The fact that less than half of the
city's registered voters failed to vote
means that should any administrative
blunder be made, which God forbid, the
non-voters would have 40 right to raise
their voice in compliant.
The only way in which this fault
can be overcome is for all citizens to
support the Council in every worth
while undertaking and the delinquents
at the polls hold their peace when a
Council act is contrary to their views.

It is with considerable satisfaction
that the American people, who gen.
orally shudder at the spread of COM

Committee has approved a similar
measure, will concur without too long

Department: - THE EARTH)
MOUNTAIN RANGES
AND THE EARTH'S CORE

Earlier articles described the
various layers into which the
earth is divided. 1t is believed
that the hot inner shell of the
atmosphere crock sphere) is still
pressing closer toward the center
and, therefore. continually shrink
ing. Some places on the earth's
crust (the outer part of the litho-
sphere) are stronger than others
and hold firmly as the inner shell
shrinks. Other places, being
weaker, wrinkle downward or up
ward like the skin on a wither-
ing apple.
This warping and buckling
brings about great changes on our
earth. Sometimes a region is
steadily buckled and down-warped
over a period of many years. and
layer after layer of ground-up
rock is deposited in the wrinkles.
Eventually, the crust may break
in places, or the pressure may re-
lax in one region and become
stronger in another. So a new
section begins to buckle, and an
area of lightweight rock, former
ly sunken, may start to rise slow
ly far above the average land
level. Thus many Of our noun :
tain ranges were formed from
what was once a sea bed.
Not all mountains are so FORM
ed however. Some are built up
on top of the old crystal rocks
and this type may grow much
nor rapidly. These are volcanic
ranges and single peaks built up
by volcanic action. We shall *
plain about volcanoes later. Here

Cheap At Any Price

The underlying purpose of the pro-
posed loan to Greece and Turkey is to
halt, if possible, the further spread of
~communistic control and influence in
Europe. Neither nation is capable of
withstanding Russian pressure without
aid.
It would be poor policy indeed to
stand by and do nothing to halt Rus
-sia's %expansionist campaign, especially
as the United States apparently is list
ed at Moscow for ultimate control as,
in fact, are all nations and continents.
Thus, when Senator Mcclellan, dur
ing the debate on the measure to pro-
vide $500, OO0, 900 to help keep Russia
out of Turkey and Greece and send mill
tary missions into both countries, says
that it is likely to cost more than the
United States can afford, it is pertinent
Ito ask if fulfillment of Russia's aims
here would not also cost infinitely more
= than the United States can afford.
1t is not the immediate drain upon

ed by sudden sharp breaks and
movements in the crust; and vi
brations (called. waves) from the
place of the break radiate ir all
directions through the earth. A
quake on the opposite side of the
world will send out waves which
reach us after passing through
the center; and We can learn
much about the layers through
which it passes by studying the
type of wave that reaches US and
the rate at which it travels. All
forms of evidence lead to the
same conclusion, that the center
of the earth is occupied by a
heavy metal core.
A quick summary shows us,
then, that the earth is composed
Of layers of progressively heavier
material: Cd the atmosphere or
air sphere: ca the h~ydrosphere or
water sphere; (3 the atmosphere,
or rock sphere; and "a a heavy
metal core, the centrosphere.

Could Be Golf Center

The possibility Of Wilmington's be-
coming a national gold center, which
was the key thought presented by
Louis 0rrell, chairman. of the Star
News Golf tournament, at the banquet
given by the papers for the tourney
ment committee. 1t is such a reason
able viewpoint, and Wilmington hav-
ling demonstrated upon several oc-
~casions recently that it's people are
capable of accomplishing great things
through unified effort, the time for
turning another possibility into achieve
ment has arrived.
Because this vicinity offers golfers
%year-round play and tournaments may
be held in mid-winter as we'll as mid
summer, the chief need is for concen-
trated endeavor to put Wilmington on
the golf map of the nation. 1t can be
done and can do as much for the city
and southeastern North Carolina as
the tournaments at Asheville, Aiken
or any of the other established golf
centers in the South.
For the most part the local links
have been used by Wilmingtonians with
the principal play on Saturday after
moons and Sundays. The Cape Fear
Country Club and the Municipal cour-
ses are so heavily %patronized at these
times that late arrivals have difficulty
teeing off. The two are inadequate to
the demand on these two days every
week. This is as true in winter as in
the other seasons.
An additional course is needed. If
created at either of the two chief beach
resorts it would not only relieve the
crowding at the other links but attract
many players during vacation time,
which is no longer a strictly summer
affair but is staggered throughout the
year.
A group having as its chief objec-
tive a tournament with large enough
prizes to draw the nations top-flight
players could do what Mr.. Orrell pro-
poses. Why should not the current
Star-News tournament be the right
starting point for the undertaking.?
