By Wayne Oliver
Associcfod Press Stcff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The
communications industry spent a
SIS billion in 1853 to improve
and expand its web of circuits
reaching into all corners of the
Nation and overseas.
Prospects are for continuation
In 1854 at the same rate.
The huge postwar expansion in
telephone service maintained its
pace in the past year as 2.33 mil
lion telephones were added and
the total in use. in the United
States passed so million.
The telegraph industry added
to its picture-like facsimile oper-
ationS and both it and the tele-
phone industry installed thous-
ands of miles of private leased
wire circuits for business and
Government use.
New Channels Opened.
New channels were opened for
overseas radiograms and cable
grams and plans for the first
transatlantic telephone cable
were announced by American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. The
cable, to be completed in two
years at cost of $35 million as
q Joint undertaking with Britain
and Canada, will quAdruple the
number of voice circuits between
this country and England. AL
present overseas circuits are by
short wave radio.
A. T. & It's Bell System, which
operates a little over four-fifths
Of the Nations telephones, added
approximately 2 million to
push its total past Al million. It
spent $3.50. 200, 900 during the
year for further expansion of its
facilities, bringing Bell expendi-
tures alone since World War II to
1925 billion.
Independents Expand.
. The $500 independent COM
panieS, which serve greater areas
than Bell, expanded in proper
ton and hit the 9-million mark
IN telephones in operation.
The biggest of the independ-
entS. the SAIL million General
Telephone Co. which operates in
II states and has 18 per cent of
the non-Bell phones. spent $40
million on expansion during 1853.
There were improvements in
service. too. including a two per
cent riSe-to 81 per cent-in the
proportion of dial telephones in
the Bell system. There also was
q rise to 2.400 in the number of
cities into which long distance
operators could dial local num-
bers directly from distant cities
without having TO GO through
other operators at intermediate
points. This was a gain Of nearly
300: over q year ago.

ago-March Is, 1897-in Unaka,
N. c.. a Cherokee County village
near the Tennessee line, which
now is under water. The Tennes-
see Valley Authority flooded his
birthplace when it came here
81 years ago.
His father, DR.. c. S. jenkins,
also was a Cherokee County ma
tive. He was killed in a 1923 train
accident while on his way to a
sick child.
His mother, the former
Amanda Nicholson, was born in
neighboring Union County. Ga.
Now. 80, she lives in Tellico
Plains. Tenn, a lumber town go
miles southeast of here.
The family-Dr. and Mrs.
jenkins, Ray and two sisters
one older, one younger-moved
to Tellico Plains when Ray was
a boy.
He attended the old prep
school at Maryville (Tenn) Col
lege, finishing two years in one
after teachers recognized his
quick mind.
At the University of Tennessee
Law School. he won first prize
for scholarship three years
straight. His forensic ability al
ready was well developed. Each
year he was on the debating
team. and on graduation was re-
tanned by the school as debate
coach.

In 1920, he opened his Knox

case. One. Jim Brookshire,
moonshiner, was charged with
beating his wife to death with a
barrel Stave-on a night when a
housegueSt, was present as wit

Arrested and almost mobbed,
Brookshire asked for Mr..
Jenkins to defend him. Mr..
jenkins readily accepted. His
father hurried to Knoxville to
try to dissuade him.
Everybody knows" the elder
Jenkins argued. THAT he's going
to be electrocuted, and you'll be

"The more he talked, the more
determined I was to take the
case" Mr.. Jenkins recalls. He

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, April 10.
Once, in the 30s, the late Ed
McNew, a Knoxville professional
bondsman, asked Ray Jenkins to
defend him in a felonious assault
case. A lesser lawyer might have
refused.
McNew was charged with
shooting at a Knoxville news
paper photographer who took his
picture. The photographer had
the picture of McNew firing as
documentary evidence, and it
later won him prize. But Mr..
jenkins took the case.
After obtaining several delays,
he had McNew brought into court
on a stretcher, attended by a
nurse, on grounds he was both
mentally and physically i'll. Then
with typical dramatics, Mr..
jenkins pleaded that McNew had
been harassed and goaded into
firing the shot by prying pho
tographer.
McNew received a light fine
and 60-day workhouse sentence.
Now, the mountaineer lawyer
has the hottest job in Washing
ton-that of conducting the Sem
ate Investigations Subcommittee
probe into the row between Sem
ator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin, and the Army. Mr..
jenkins was picked Wednesday
as special counsel for the ma
tionally televised hearings, be-
ginning April %.
He's a Born Snowman.
Television may have been made
for Mr.. Jenkins. Or it might
have been the other way around.
A born Snowman, he can be ex-
pected to hold a TV audience of
millions in the same suspense in
which he holds Tennessee court
rooms.
Mr.. jenkins may have his enc
mics, but it's hard to find de-
tractors. Republicans, of which
he is one. Democrats and indie
pendents agree he is a brilliant

Admiral Carney Says

PHILADELPHIA, April TO-
Admiral Robert F. Carney, Chief
of Naval Operations, said tonight
that Communists must be kept
out Of the armed forces.
The military services is no
place to experiment with their
re-education, he said in an adj

School.
His words were in line with

nounced in Washington this
week by Secretary of Defense
Wilson. 1t provides that konwn

Pause For Sober Thought.
Admiral Carney said:
Regardless of what free peo-
pie may think of communism
with its perverted philosophy
and controlled thinking, it cer-
tainly gives us pause for sober
thought when we realize that a
Communist is willing to get
beaten up, to be thrown in Jail,
and to face public wrath for his
cause. =.

Good at Making Friends.
The Ray Jenkins story does
contain legends, but it is no
fairy tale of a poor boy over
coming every obstacle to rise to
the top.
It is the story of the son of a
moderately well-to-do country
doctor. It is a story of outStand-
ing ability combined with a
knack for knowing the right
people and making friends.
A colleague, Sam E. Young of
Knoxville, describes him thus:
"He has the faculty of making
everybody feel he's their very
best friend. I thought for a long
time that Ray was my own
special friend, until found out
he treated everybody the same
way"
He's a renowned story-teller.
His flair for oratory, his sense
of the dramatic, his ability to
feel out a jury and witnesses. win
him case after case. He's the
sort of lawyer who completely
dominates a case and a court.
Rising with square jaw set and
fire in his eyes, he'll unbutton
his collar. loosen his coat, unite
his tie and go to work.
The guestures of his hands
are almost as gripping as his ora
tory.
Over 6 feet tall, he's stocky.
He reminds you of a boxer dog
when he sets his jaw and faces
you with grim determination He
laughs, cries, derides, always
showing emotion.

Tenn. Her father had taught
his father at the now defunct
