E. Wilson, president of General Motors, shortly after he re turned from an “emergency”’ con ference with/ President Truman. Wilson, head of the largest operat ing corporation in the United States, held a press conference in the Book- Cadillac hotel a few minutes after he flew in from Washington. He did not specifically link his proposal with his conferences in Washington, but said his talk with the president ftad been “very satisfactory.” f Wilson outlined to approximately 200 newspapermen and General Mo tors executives what he called an alternative to serious nation-wide strikes. Wilson's argument was that high production was the only answer to the nation's economic ills, but that,a road block existed in the form of na* tional legislation for a national 40- hour week. He suggested that a flat five to eight per .pent wage increase on the 45-hour week with overtime pay thereafter would give the wo liter ap proximately the same take-home pay that un.ahs^.re demanding under the 52 hours wage bar 40_hi)UrV’-work.

C. a ffuja Now that the war is over, it’s time to open the doors to the days ahead. They’re going to be busy, exciting days. For one thing, the Telephone Company plans the greatest expansion program in its history in South Carolina — aimed at meeting the telephone needs of a great state. It means providing telephones for all who have been wait ing for them. This is one of our first jobs! A greatly ex panded telephone program for our farmer friends is also in )». Expansion of long distance service is being scheduled It will include the installation of coaxial cables to handle- more calls with speed and convenience for you, and provide' more facilities for that exciting visual art — television. A mass of construction is to be done and a new service to mo^or vehicles is also in the offing. ^ Those are the high spots. They have been ideas on the drawing board. They will become realities as materials come obtainable. There will be the marshalling of pr__ penty’s Three M’s — Men, Money and Materials, the forces that brought South Carolina and the Telephone Company to their present positions, that won them the friendship and confidence of the public. This expansion program calls for the expenditure of mil- lions of dollars in South Carolina. And telephone people like the idea of putting money for expansion into South Carolina, contributing to the general welfare and prosperity of the state, through its men and women, its wage-earners, its families, its communities. Our optimism for the future is based on the record of the past. South Carolina and the 2320 men and women of the Telephone Company have grown up together, and watched each other grow. Now, in the days ahead, the same friendly relationship will continue. The future beckons with a busy hand. E. H.
