Hubby files
Lote For Supper

CHAPEL HILL = Wives should
refrain from fussing at their
husbands for coming home late
to supper - if they have good
excuses.
That is the counsel given to
wives of leading North Carolina
businessmen attending the "Ex-
ecutive Program" concluded here
last week.
When wives of bankers, manu-
facturers, and other kinds of ex-
ecutives came to the campus last
weekend, they were here for the
graduation exercises at the
School of Business AdminiStra-
ton.
It's routine for wives to come
along when husbands are at
tending many of the institutes
and short courses given in the
University. Usually thare is a
special program for the ladies -
a tea, or reception or something
like that.
But Willard Graham, director
of the Executive Program. had a
different idea of what to offer the
wives of the q men who have
been taking a stepped-up, pres
surized, concentrated series OF
studies on alternate weekends
since last October.
COURSE FOR WIVES
Dr.. Graham decided to let the
wives have a short short course
on "How to be an Executive.
The husbands were not permit
ted to attend. 1t was for women
only.
A professor in the School of
Business Administration gave a
lecture, featuring a lease history"
o. a plant management problem.
At the conclusion of the lecture
visiting lecturer from General
Electric Company was introduced
to the women. He is Harold F.
Smiddy, vice president in charge
OF mana cement policies.
Mr.. Smiddy told the women
that life of a manager in modern
business is getting more compli-
Gated. And it's fundamental, he
said. that wives of executives get
greater understanding of some
of the things involved in the
everyday problems their husbands
have to cope with. Coming home
late to supper because of some
emergency at the office or the
factory is Just one of the symp-
toms of the involved nature of
business. That's the reason Smid-
dy counseled the ladies to "giye
your husband a lift when he
comes nome" He's had rough
day of it, nine times out of ten.
DON'T PAMPER HIM
Advice of little different ma
ture is being offered by DR.. Ernest
Craige, heart specialist at the Un-
iversity. DIR. Craige has been max
ing speeches to women's clubs.
His topic: Conservation of the
Spouse. In his talk, he tells wives
not to overfeed husbands, and to
let him do some work in the yard
for exercise. It's a good idea. too,
for husbands to walk to work, II

Lithium-bearing spodumene ore

In 1851, Foote Mineral Co. be-

in early 1855 with a seven million
dollar processing plant at BeSSe-

25-MILE BELT
Both FOOte Mineral and Lith-

tain their ore from an area
extending from a point east of
LincolntOn southwest to a point
near Grover on the state line.
This belt 25 miles long and
about two miles wide - is called
the Kings Mountain area and is
believed to contain the largest
lithium- bearing SpOdumene de-
pOsits in the United States.
Spodumene, the most important
commercial lithium source, is
found in pegmatites, which are
unusual combinations of minerals
found in different areas of the
world.
Until recently, lithium was a
little-known, little-used. light me-
tallic element. Now, however, with
a rapidly multiplying commercial
field - including ceramics, glass,
metallurgy. organic chemicals,
dry cells, and alkaline storage

becoming a major industry.
! MINING INCREASED
Its growth is reflected in the
increased amounts of lithium
minerals that are being mined. In
1858, 27,0O0 tons of lithium mine
rails were mined in the United
States compared to about 1000
tons in l945. Production capacity
was doubled in 1858, doubled
again in 1854 and more produc-
ton facilities were added in 1855.
The hthium boom has enabled
Foote Mineral and Lithium CoIpo-
raticn of America, two of the for
big United States lithium pro-
ducers, to show startling stock
market increases.
While lithium is booming in
North Carolina it is also at a
premium in other parts of the
United States. in Canada. in At
rica. and presumably, in Russia.
In addition to Kings Mountain,
ether big North American de-
posits are in South Dakota s
Black Hills, in New England, and
IN quebec. Manitoba, and the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Buth lithium mined in the Kings
Mountain area has advantages
over lithium mined in other places.
To begin with. a deposit that can
be mined profitably must be: Cd
Rich, 90 big, and (3) close to a
market. Lithium found in the local
spodumene belt dramatically full
fills those requirements.
Other factors favor the lith-
ium industry in this district.
There is plenty of industrial ell
bow room, the tax structure is
favorable, ideal plant sites are
available and labor, transpOrta-
tion and power facilities are
more than adequate. Also, the
North Carolina climate is suit
+ able for the Open-pit type of
mining.
RESERVES PLENTIFUL
Then. too. there is little chance
of the Kings Mountain area run
ming out of ore within the next 20
years. Foote Minerals Gordon
Chambers said the company's in
dicated ore reserves reached 10
million tons as indicated by sam
ole drilling in 1855.

ica, according to President Her.

The extraordinary thing about
this long-sustained smear of Mr..
Nixon is that so few of them can
offer a reason for their hostility.
Asked why, the reply is almost al
ways vague and inconsequential
The Stassen attack served, for one
thing, to emphasize this curious
feature Mr. Stassen himself gave
no reason for his assertion that
Mr.. Nixon on the Eisenhower ticket
would lose it millions of votes.
Obviously he, like others, was in
fluenced by the Democratic Whis-

course, continue to use him as a

he is an unusually hard-hitting cam

They Don't Know Why

Ihey Don't Know why
1t is now pretty generally con-
ceded that the somewhat comic
drop Nixon" campaign waged by
the misguided, though well mean
ing, Mr.. Harold Stassen actually
resulted in Strengthening Mr. Nixon
as a candidate instead of weaken
ing him. This ought to be consolinG
to Mr. Stassen in that he professcd
all along his only desire was TO aid
the Republican ticket, which he is
now enthusiastically supporting
Mr.. Truman likewise is supporting
the StevensOn-Kefauv team, both
of whom were nominated over his
vehement protest as candidates who
could not be elected
Thus, each side in the present
contest suffered a somewhat SINH
lar experience which at first SEEM
ed full of potential harm but turned
out not to be damaging at all. Be
fore the StaSsen incident is COM
pletely forgotten perhaps it may
be worth while to note the reasons
it turned out so well for Mr. Nixon.
Undoubtedly one was the manner in
which he himself behaved under
exceedingly trying circumstances.
He exhibited complete poise No
bitter word escaped him. He made

no counterattack, did nothing to
embarrass his friends nor add to
the pleasure of his foes. In this at
titude he was aided by Mr.. Essen
hover, who treated Mr. Stassen
exactly right made no effort to re-
strain or suppress him, insisted up
on his right as an individual to pro-
test the Nixon nomination and per-
sonally to address the convention.
1t turned cut that all he wanted to
do was second the Nixon nomina-
ton, which he did with as much
grace as a man could who had just
made a fool of himself
Another reason Mr.. Nixon bcnc-
fitted rather than Wilted under the
experience was that it focused at
tention upon the violent anti-NiXon
campaign which Democratic propa-
