Col. Harrison, a native of La
fayette, Ga, but reared in Detroit,
Mich, where he attended the Mil
Ter High School, is a former stu
dent of the University of Louis
vile, entered the service in 1941
and was commissioned a Second
Lieutenant in 1912. Since this
time he has served in England,
France, Holland, Belgium, Ger
many, Austria, and Luxembourg.
He saw action wit hthe 3rd Ar
mored Division and in 1949 COM
manded the 370th Armored Infant
ry Battalion, of the 7th Army.
In 1853, Col. Harrison returned
to the States and became a staff
and faculty member of the Re-
search and Evaluation Department
in the Armored School at Fort
Knox, KY. 1t was during this time
that he was selected to do further
study in the Advanced Armored
School. Upon completion of this
course, taken by chosen group of

per stream day. By mid-year this
total approached 100000 Dbl. per
day, an 80 per cent increase in
6 months.
The projected expansion based on
firm contracts is still rising. AT
the first of 1854, it appeared that
catalytic reforming capacity might
rise to about 100000 Dbl. per day
by Jan. /, 1865. New contracts
signed since then have made that
estimate conservative.
Now contracted or under con-
struction are more than so units
with aggregate stream-day capa-
city of more than $4,000 bbl., the
Journal article states.
Some 100-octane gasoline is like

Impetus for the drive to increase
octane ratings comes not only from
competition within the oil industry
but also from Sustained pressure

100-Octane Soon


TULSA-The American motorist
may be able to buy 100-octane gaso-
me within a few years, The Oil
nd Gas Journal forecasts in its
urrent issue.
The prediction is based on a
'ournal survey which shows the
race among refiners to see who can
urn out the highest-grad motor
fuel is expected to continue for
some time.
"Capability of U. S. refiners to
increase octane number is present
ly rising faster than at any time
since the war;" George Weber,
Journal refining editor, reports.
Major factor in the increasing
ability of refiners to raise the
octane rating of motor fuel, the
Journal says, is the trend toward
greater use of catalytic reforming
a recent development which in
creases the amount of top-quality
fuel which may be produced from
crude stock.
The cat reforming boom has ex-
ceeded practically all timetables
this year, the survey shows. Al
the beginning of 1854, the national
| capacity stood at about 100000 Dbl

at is DR.. J. H. Jackson, the
president of the National Baptist
Convention, USA, Inc, a union of
more than four and a half million
members, one of the largest in
America, who gives these words on
the situation of the world. He ar
rived in Sweden recently for a one
month visit, and it is the first
time he has visited our country.
"He Or. Jackson) goes on:
"'The religious situation in
America? Yes, of course we have
much materialism and secularism,
but also there is a strong and
growing interest in religious and
spiritual matters. This is demon
strated both among many leaders
of the nation and the men in the
street and on the countryside.
The great masses of citizens are
concerned about world peace, and
the matter of peace is a spiritual
matter. AS Christian, | am con-
cerned that the future of all of the
great powers of the world is def
nitely related to all the struggling
peoples, wherever they live.
GAS we know, the highest
court, the United States Supreme
Court declared segregation of
white and colored children in pub
lie schools unconstitutional. This
means that there will be no dis
tinction between white and col
ored' schools. They will be re
placed by schools for all kinds of
citizens. All must have equal op-
portunities.
The Supreme Court decision is
another illustration of how we can
correct our social, cultural and po-
litical errors and failures on the
basis Of our federal constitution
without taking recourse to violence
and cruelty. A spirit of fellow
ship, freedom, and mutual under
standing between different groups
and classes is growing ever strong

Speaking Of
PUBLIC SAFETY

Get fought"
That's the advice of increasing
numbers of persons who are work
ing to reduce traffic accidents.
Get tough on driver licensing
procedures" ID. Get tough on law
enforcement" Get tough on
penalties for violations" "Get
tough on drunken drivers" :.
Get tough on teen-age speed de-
mons" Get tough on defec-
tive vehicles" Get tough on
traffic safety engineering" are
typical comments of citizens re-
ported by Edmond C. Powers of
Cleveland.
Powers summary of growing
public opinion is as follows:
''If we are determined to reduce
traffic slaughter, we should be as
tough in dealing with the situation
as we would be in resisting an in
vasion or any other agent of de-
struction.
$4,000 deaths, more than a
million injured people, and an
economic loss of nearly 50 billion
every year is crime of the worst
order.
"Mealy-mouthed measures new
er won a war and in terms of
death and destruction, traffic acct
dents are the costliest conflict in
our history.
Driver education in our schools,
group meetings, and discussions,
traffic safety organizations, pub
lie appeals through press, radio
and television, all serve a useful
purpose.
"But until we drive home the
real seriousness of the accident
problem by direct disciplinary
measures, we have little hope of
reducing accidents to any great
extent.
"These disciplinary measures
should include revocation of Ii
censes by habitually thoughtless
and incompetent drivers, Kidding
our streets and thoroughfares of
unsafe vehicles, refusal to issue
licenses to the mentally and physi-
cally unfit, and application Of our
best thought to the engineering
of safety into our existing and
new thoroughfares.
cit all boils down to tough
policy on the part of authorities
at all levels of traffic administra-
tion and regulation.
until this tough policy goes
into action, we are just begging
the question of how to reduce
accidents"
