Voice of America

You are probably familiar with
the current inquiry into the Voice
of America project, particularly
the charges that the placing of a
huge transmitter in Bladen Coun-
ty was ill-advised. l have known
very little about the project, and
| don't think many other folks in
North Carolina have.
There seems no doubt that con-
siderable money has been wasted
on the Voice of America. Last
summer, when l was in Greece,
visited the ship that the United
States had rugged up with radio
equipment to transmit our MESA
ges from different spots in the
Mediterranean. Millions of dollars

White House Visit

Last week, Senator Hoey, Con-
gresham Hugh Alexander and
had an appointment with President
Eisenhower to invite him to visit
Rowan County this year during the
anniversary observance.
1t was my first meeting with the
President since his Inauguration.
Mr.. Eisenhower was must gracious
and was very interested to hear
what we related about the histori-
cal significance of the event in
Rowan. He will try to accept the
invitation if it is possible for him
to do so.

TITLES
CONTINUED from Page One)

But row they need deeds and
si,leS. There IS an easy way 10 get
title BY following the legal means
ROW being invoked by recent pur-
chasers Of the Metropolitan Tract
= los, 900 acres on the Dare main
land. Il IS simple: just put down
the names OF known or probable
claimants and print them in a
newspaper somewhere with notice
70 appear in court and establish
their claims or else. The court
would then establish title to the
land and vest it in the petitioner.
That could have been done in
two or three months for every one
Of the PSI tracts involved in the
Seashore's land acquision. But it is
the belief Of the working hands on
the project that il would not be
fair, especially to a people whose
land titles are defective through
no fault Of their own. They have
possessed and chung to their lands
for near three centuries and Mr..
StEatton is determined to search
them out and negotiate with them
if il takes the rest Of the summer
Or longer.
Meanwhile the lands are being
surveyed and boundaries establish
ed and three independent teams of
appraisers are at work taking each
tract on its own merits and then
by agreement fixing the offering
price for the land. When this is
done, within the next month, offers
will be made to individual land
holders and if there is still cloud
on the title, the matter will be sub
mitted jointly by the purchaser and
seller to the court for title clear
ance.
"Unquestionably we will have to
submit some of them to the court
but | want to go to court with
these people and not against
Them" is the Stratton thesis. eve
go together and the cost will be
negligible and the seller will take
the money intact. If we went to
court against them they would
have to hire lawyers and pay costs.
This way the Governments law
yers do the job without cost to the
project or the people concerned.
I'm trying to look out for the in
terests of these people. It's their
government-and their park"
When the wrinkles have been
smoothed out it will take about go
days to process the claim and pay
it. Vouchers will be drawn on the
U. S. Treasury and after they are
reviewed by Lindsay Warren's
General Accounting Office, they
will be sent to the Treasury for
clearance. Current vouchers for
administrative costs are so proc
essed and are promptly paid,
charged to the Mellon money in
the Treasury. Each month the
! Treasury Department totals the
sum of the vouchers, divides by
half and sends a draft for that
amount to the Treasurer of North
Carolina, who RENTS from the
| special fund.

New York.-West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company's sales Of
pulp, paper, paperboard and chem
icals during fiscal year 1852, end
ed October 81, added up TO $1O8,-
g33 900 and resulted in a net prot
it, after taxes, Of S9,471,000, it
was reported today in the COM
pany's annual statement released
to stockholders land employees1.
This compares with net sales Of
S116,395, 900 and earnings Of S10,-
$4,000 for fiscal year 1851. In
come for 1852 amounted to $3.50
per share Of common stock, com
pared 10 5000 in 1851.
The company's six plants pro-
duced total Of 7O0,646 tons Of
paper and paperboard during the
year, as compared 70 an output Of
76I, 089 tons IN 1851.
David L. Luke, Jr., president,
said that tke results Of the year
were adversely affected by rising
costs, the first lull in demand since
Korea and strike in three Of
the company's plants during the
fourth quarter.
Despite higher costs and the
mid-year market Iull, the COM
pany's increased capacity and
greater operating efficiency result
ed in higher production, sales and
earnings per common share for the
first nine months Of the fiscal year
than those for a sponding per-
iod in 1851, Mr.. Luke said.
with the pickup in general bus
mess condition which occurred in
August and carried through the
;all, it appears likely that the re-
suits for the ye2r as whole would
have exceeded those of 1851 had
re not encountered a strike" Mr..
Luke stated.
The strike shut down the COM
pany's Williamsburg, Pa, plant
for 7 weeks and the Covington,
Va. and Luke, Md, plants for 1914
weeks, affecting about one-half of
the company's production. 1t was
the company's first protracted work
3toppage in more than 80 years.
The report showed that although
production for the year was off
pbout s per cent, due chiefly to
the strike, the cost of products
was only 2.7 per cent lower than
that of 1851, when $4,000 more
tons Of paper and paperboard
yere manufactured.
The company's bill for materials
and supplies used in 1852 amount
I'd to $48,746,0 900, about $21 $780,
900 of which was for pulpwood
alone. This compares with a total
# $51 $4,000 and $22,676, 900 for
nulpwood in 1851. The total cost of
payroll and benefits for its 5000
Employees amounted to $32,709,-
100, compared to $32,329,000 in
1851, although almost 1000 en-
,oyees were idle for a long per-
I'D during the final quarter of
1852 because of the strike.
Federal, state and local taxes

10000 in 1862.
Mr.. Luke said that the impact
rising costs was less severe
IN y might have been, due to the
, eating efficiencies achieved as a
Iirect result of a substantial in
'estment over the past seven years
