CENSUS SEEKING FACTS
ON SECOND" JOBS

Special questions, designed to
provide information on the num-
Der of persons who have more
than one job, win be asked in the
July Current Populations Survey,
according to Supervisor Joseph r.
Norwood of the Census Bureaus
regional field office at Charlotte,
which will participate in the sur
vey.
Similar questions asked in the
Current Population Survey last
year revealed that an estimated
81 million persons, or about one
in 10 of all employed persons, held
more than one job during the week
of July STA, 1856, the period
covered by the survey. The group
designated as multiple jobholders
included wage and salary workers
with more than one employer dur
ing the survey week, as well as
persons on the payroll of an en-
ployer and also self-employed or
working without pay in family
enterprise.
An estimated one million per-
sons held both farm and nonfarm
jobs concurrently, the survey
showed. About three in five of this
group had primary job in nom
farm work. Most of the remainder
were self-employed farmers with
a secondary job off the farm. Ex-
ira jobs held by farm wage work
ers usually were other paid farm
jobs.
The special questions on second
airy jobs will be in addition to the
regular monthly inquiries of
employment and unemployment.
Current Population Survey Infor-
nation will be collected in Dare
and Hyde Counties this week by
Mrs. Margaret D. Walker of Wan
CHEESE.

TECHNICAL TRAINING
OFFERED AT GASTONlA
Electricity Technology Is One Of Four
New Courses Offered by CASTOR
Technical Institute
BY PEGGY CLEARS

Raleigh.-The shortage of engi-
neers is acute in the Tar Heel
State, but the need for engineer
ing technicians is an even greater
problem. According to current re-
ports, industry must have from
three to eight technicians for
every college-trained engineer.
What is the role of the engineer
ing technician? He is the fellow
who takes the engineers ideas
and puts them into pratice. He in
stalls, maintains, and repairs in
dustry's wide variety of mechanic
cal equipment as well as the mod
ern labor-saving home appliances.
In keeping with the States
technical needs, the North Caro-
lima State College School of Engi-
neering has revised the curriculum
for the CASTOR Technical Institute
in Gastonia.
Beginning this fall, the CASTOR
Technical Institute, a part of the
colleges Extension program, will
offer four two-year courses in the
fields of electricity, electronics,
mechanical and production, and
civil technology.
The first of the four courses to
be outlined is the electricity tech
nology program.
A broad vista of career oppor-
tunities in the electrical fields
will be opened to electrical tech
nology graduates.
The electrical program is de-
signed to prepare students in
drafting, electrical sales, super
vision of electrical installations,
of power plants, and
other electrical equipment and
contracting fields.
The two-year course set up on
the semester system, offers engi-
neering drawing, algebra, English,
physics, general shop, and trigo-
nometry during the opening year.
The specialized work begins
during the second year when stu
dents take up electrical drafting,
A-C and electrical control circuits,
electrical machinery, elec tro n
tubes and circuits, wiring and
specifications, personnel supervis-
ion, and technical reports.
For admission, students must
be high school graduates with APP
titude in technical work.
Freshman registration for the
fall semester at CASTOR Tech be-
gins on September 10 and classes
start on September %.
Application for admission must
be made on special forms furnish
ed by the CASTOR Technical Insti-
tute. Those interested should
write the school as soon as pos
sible, Box 1899, Gastonia, N. c.

lime and fertilizer recommended
tions based on the soil test are
followed, farmers can expect more
return for their fertilizer invest
ment.
Summing up his advice, Mr..
O'Neal urges farmers to take soil
samples early and take them care
fully, and points out that now is
the time for the good farm planner
to get his soil tested for fall seed
ings.

additional miles are under con
str-uction. About $50 million has
been expended or is under contract
to cover the above work. A con-
siderable additional mileage is be-
ing made ready for early construc-
ton.
Primary State Highways
(NOn-Interstate)
Of greatest service to all the
people of the State are the US and
NC highways, known as the Pri-
mary State Highway System. In
Guiding the present Interstate
travel, this system carries about
69%o of all rural traffic, but is only
about lila miles in length Tin
rural areas.
Its growth in length is not great,
and the constant enlargement of
city limits almost offsets the rural
additions to the system.
A considerable portion of this
system was obsolete in 1853, hav-
ing become so largely because of
the great postwar upsurge of
traffic growth. The Commission
has done much to offset this obso-
lescence through widening, reloca-
ton, building bypasses. and sew
eral sections of expressway. On
many major highways. most mod
ern designs are being employed on
new construction, including full
width bridges, access control, wide
rights of way, moderate grades,
curvature, etc.
Since January 1, 1853 Through
May, 1857 or the Commission has
contracted for work amounting to
sos, 1926 on this system. The
gross length of these improve
ments has involved 1920 miles of
work. Anyone who travels extern
sively has witnessed the many
major improvements which have
come about during this period. On
many highways, traffic delays are
almost negligible, few towns and
traffic signals are encountered.
There is every reason to believe
that this vast modernization work
has materially contributed to acct
dent reduction.
Other Improvements
On the coast, ferry service has
been improved and stepped-up with
the completion of the handsome
three-mile long William B. UNI
stead Memorial Bridge linking for
the first time historic Roanoke Is
land with the mainland. The long
time ferry service over the Croatan
Sound was discontinued with the
finish of the Umstead Bridge,
freeing the ferries for use at ALI
gator River and Oregon Inlet.
Four of the States newest ferries
have just been overhauled and are
now in operation .Lifeboats have
been installed to meet the safety
regulations of the Coast Guard. In
addition, two brand-new specially
designed ferries will soon be in
operation. A third new ferry will
be completed later this summer.
To step up efficiency and high
way operations. a radio network
was installed last fall in highway
offices and vehicles of the four
coastal highway divisions. The
radio network, prompted by the
hurricanes of 1954-55,
has proved so effective in accel-
Grating overall highway operations
that it is being extended to four
more divisions through the Pied
mont and western part of the
State. When complete this fall, the
Commission will have a
radio connection from Manteo to
Murphy which can be used by the
State Civil Defense in times of
from hurricanes, floods,
SHOWS, etc.
Construction Activity
In the area of construction on
all systems combined, the Commits
sion is more busily engaged than

ROAD PROGRESS I'M
STATE SINCE 1853
is POINTED OUT

Raleigh.-The State Highway
Commission has performed great
amount of work on the vast
58,OOO-mile secondary road system
in the past four years, it was re-
ported at the monthly Commits
sion meeting in June.
Perhaps the Commissions great
est service was in the prosaic field
of maintenance in the day-to-day
care of these roads and bridges
against the adverse effects of
weather-sun, wind, cold, flood,
rain, ice, snow, and storm-and
against the effects of traffic usage.
Approximately Sal million will
have been spent in the last four
fiscal years for maintenance and
betterments on this vast system
of paved and unpaved roads and
its thousands of bridges. These
facilities have been kept in good
condition, and the enormous origi-
nal capital investment has been
protected. Contrary to popular
concept, this has been perhaps the
most important phase of the Com
missions work.
IL has increased the length of
the secondary road system by add
ing 1888 net miles-equal to the
width of the Nation from east to
west.
The Commission has also been
quite active in secondary road
paving. On January 1, 1858, some
1882 miles had been paved rural
" and 922 miles paved in incor-
porated places on the system; with
36,066 miles of unpaved rural and
368 miles of unpaved municipal
mileage. The paving was then $40
Of the system length.
During the four years ending
January /, 1857, the Commission
built new pavements on 4,9O3 miles
on the secondary system of which
126 miles We're in Incorporated
places. (The figures include some
mileage later transferred to pri-
mary routes or given US or NC
Numbers. This 4,903 does not. in
ciude work incomplete at January
/, 1857, OF since started).
AS of last January 1, 1857, a
total of 23.S62 of the 57,946 miles
on the secondary system were of
the paved type. That is, 41f6 are
now paved, as compared to $40
four years ago. Thus paving has
been done faster than new roads
were added.
The location of this paving has
been so selected that while it covers
only 41eo of the system length, it
serves 300 of the total rural travel
on the system. Furthermore, some
9T%o of the rural people of North
Carolina now live on or within one
mile of paved roads or highways.
Interstate Highway System
The Commission has done such
extensive work on the Interstate
network that the Commissioner of
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
could report that North Carolina
has made more progress than any
except one state in the nation in
this program.
In spite of many adverse situa-
tions, the Commission had adj
vanced the development of the ul-
innate 67-mile system in North
Carolina to the point where actual
construction has been at least
started on 308 miles-or over 45e6
Of the length.
Through the May. 1857, letting,
the Commission has substantially
completed and opened to traffic
'721s miles of four-lane highways
on the Interstate system. Another
IS miles of two-lane highways have
been opened to traffic, and ITO

at any time in it's long history.
During only the first six months
of 1857, construction contracts val
ued at about $44 million will have
been let by June 80, 1857. This is
about double the rate in recent
years.

He said. however. that the Ma.
tional Park Service, which ha.

mt to do anything about a re.
placement.
Construction Held Up
Gen. Lane said the park serv-
ice had the money to build the
replacement two years ago. Park
officials, however, withheld con-
struction mainly due to a fea1
that the structure and it's con-
Meeting roads would put toe
much traffic in the park and
might further the likelihood OF
using the park to tie in with

The commissioner said that
since that time District highway
officials have agreed to another
link with Route 240, thus remov-
ing the park service objections
to the Rock Creek road plan.
He added he has tried repeat
edly to determine from NPS Di-
rector Conrad L. Wirth what the
status of the project is. Gen,
Lane agreed with the citizens
that it should have top priority
and that he intends to renew
his efforts to get action from

New Command
BY the Associated Press

The Army plans to give Brig
Gen. Ralph w, Zwicker-long-
time target of Senator Nc
Carthy. Republican of Wiscon-
Sin-comlEand of the oath Di-
vision in Korea in May.
This became known yesterday
when the Senate Armed Services
Committee made public the rec
ord of three days Of closed door
hearings on Gen. Zwicker's
nomination to the temporary
rank Of major general and per-
manent rank of brigadier gen.
eral.
He now is a temporary briga-
der general with permanent
rank Of colonel. He is assistant
chief OF staff for United States
Far Eastern Army Headquarters
in Japan.
Senator Mccarthy has con-
tended that Gen. Zwicker lied
under oath" when he denied CIV
ing Army data classified as secret
TO two Senate staff employees.
Gen. Zwicker at four separate
congressional hearings denied
having done so.
The Armed Services Commit
tee last week recommended IL to
0 that the Senate confirm Gen.
Zwicker's promotion by President
Eisenhower. Senator Mccarthy
then demanded that the hearing
record be made public in adj
vance of Senate action.
The transcript of the closed
hearings quoted Secretary of the
Navy WILDER Brucker as saying
that if the Senate approves the
promotion, Gen. Zwicker will be
given a division commanders
post in May.
Mr.. Brucker also testified that
promotions for Gen. wicker had
been recommended by Army
promotion boards in late 1855
and July. 1856, but delayed until
Senator McCarthy's charges Of
perjury had been rejected by
the Justice Department.

dents of the Northwest $500,000,

to be beyond repair. His chief,

consciousness allegedly suffered
by the defendant.
After the move for examina-
tion was rejected, the defendant
conferred with his attorney and
a guilty plea was made.
But today the appellate court
ordered the trial court to reopen
the case.
IF it is determined that APP
pellant Lloyd was competent
to stand trial and had the effec-
tive assistance Of counsel, then
the motion should be denied ;
but if the contrary appears in
respect to either question, the
district court should vacate the
judgments Of conviction" the
majority opinion stated.
Issue of Assistance
The issue Of effective assist
ance apparently involved the
question of whether an attorney
was justified in allowing a guilty
plea while believing that his
client was incompetent.
The majority opinion was
written by Judge George 7.

renee of Judge Walter M. Bas-
tan.
