WEST VIRGINIAN
PROPOSES CHANGE
OF STATES NAME

BECKLEY, W. Va. CAP).
The chairman of the
State Centennial Commits
sion has suggested that
West Virginia change its
name to put an end to the
confusion that exists IN
some minds between Vir-
ginia and West Virginia.
Charles Hodel, Beckley
newspaper publisher, said
he felt Lincoln" would be
a good name for West Vir-
ginia because it was Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln
who brought the State into
being by signing a law and
proclamation.
"At one fell swoop there
would be no more confusion
as between Virginia and
West Virginia" Mr.. Hodel
said. He added it would be
appropriate for the name
change to become effec-
tive June 20, 1868, on West
Virginia's Tooth anniver-
sary of statehood.

HONG KONG, June 4 (AP)
"A Chinese refugee family who
have been trying to get into
the United States since 1855
took off by plane today for
Chicago.
Eng Se-suey. As, his wife and
three children are the first to
be admitted to the United States
under the emergency provisions
proclaimed by President Ken
nedy after thousands of refu-
gees from Communist China
flooded into Hong Kong last
month.
Mr.. Eng said he was going on
a two-fold mission-to see his
dying father, who has been
given less than 10 days to live,
and to become an American.
The elder Eng emigrated to
the United States in 1918 a few
months before his son was born.
He is critically Ill in a hospital
at Park Ridge, III.
One Son Ailing
The younger Eng and his
wife speak no English. Their
two daughters, Mee-har, Is,

Leung-hing, 10, speak a little
bit. An older son, Leung-ging,
18, is under medical treatment
here and cannot go to America
yet.
Mr.. Eng said he escaped
from a Communist forced labor
prison in Red China in 1858
and fled to Hong Kong with his
family. He has operated a

Navy May Use Foreign
Steel for New Ships

Steel and LukenS Steel. Re-
Gently the Armco mill near
Houston was approved to pro-
duce this high-tensile steel
known as HY-80. Republic and
Bethlehem are also seeking ap-
proval. Several German steel
mills are reported interested.
The difficulty and high cost
Of welding and fabricating
HY-80 has caused the Navy to
explore other steel and titan
ium alloys. Recent scientific
speeches have disclosed that
the Navy is deSirous of hull
plates and frames of 10000
pounds per square inc h
strength to enable submarines
to dive to depths of two miles.
Only U. S. Steel has produced
the HY-150 alloy steel that
meets the rigid Naval specifi-
cations. Its price is about dou-
BILE the rs cents a pound for
HY-80. The lowest-priced sim
liar titanium alloy is around
So a pound.
Unsolved Problems
U. S. Steel has not yet found
a satisfactory and economical
method of welding and fabri-
eating this new alloy. Pentagon
officials say no orders will fol-

solved. When this new steel
is adopted it will mean a COM

Contributing Wrtter

Many vessels constructed in
American Naval yards for
atomic age fleets may be Quilt
with foreign steel because of
lower costs. Now being rolled
by the Hymetten Werke at
OberhauSen in the German
Ruhr are $500 tons of steel
for three guided missile fri
gates. The price averaged 80
per cent below American bids.
Two Of these destroyer-type
vessels will be built at the
Puget Sound Naval Yard. One
will be built at the San
Francisco Naval Yard. The
German price included duty and
and transportation to the West
Coast. The high tensile plates
and frames met all the Navy'S
specifications.
New York brokers submitted
the bids on four job lots which
were 1873 per cent to 80 per
cent below American prices.
The Navy saved $153,000 by
this procurement.
Follow Strict Rules
The Buy-American Act lays
down rules for Federal over
seas purchasing and gives the
administration power to fix a
price differential for domestic
producers. Secretaries of the
three armed services have au-
thority to give United States
firms an advantage up to 6 per

Jacobs Shows Skill

The chamber music program
opened with pianist Paul Jacobs
performing jazz-influenced Sc
lections by DebuSsy, COPELAND

Mr.. Jacobs is a gifted and
skilled performer. His presenta-
ton of the five pieces was most
accomplished and the works
themselves educational in the
progress of jazz from bawdy
house to polite society.
Mr.. Jacobs was followed by
James Peter Giuffre - whom

a quintet for clarinet and string
quartet written for the festival
by Mr.. Giuffre.
The performance was excel

because nothing was offered to

Use Prepared Holes
Lift the blocks intact into a

around the cube.
Immediately after trans

serves to expel drying air from

If your new plants come to
