Pennies Build Roads
In the essay that won the top
award in the recent General Motors
Better Highways awards contest,
Robert Moses estimated that it
would take $50,000,000,000 expend
ed over a period of ten years to
give America an adequate road
system. This is an immense figure
when applied to dollars despite the
looseness with which “billions” is
Committee Acts Fearlessly
After a hard fight Administra
tion leaders scored a victory in
their fight to force a vote in the
House of Representatives on con
tinuation of the excess profits tax
as the Rules committee voted to
bring a modified extension bill to
the floor. The extraordinary ac
tion had the effect of by-passing
the Ways and Means committee,
where President Eisenhower’s re
thrown about these days by g° v *;q Ues t for a six-months extension of
jernment.
How much
is $50,000,000,000?
Charlotte, N. C.—Textured yarns
made either of cotton or synthetics, 1
! are just around the corner, so to
speak, and are creating much in
terest in the trade. The making
of these so-called “textured” yams
is an entirely new pinciple, devel
oped by the DuPont Company, by
which normal yarns can be con
verted into quite unusual yarns
| with striking surface effects.
The DuPont Company, it is re- |
i vealed, intended waiting until this
whole thing could be put in a pack
age and tied with a pink ribbon,
but interest has been mounting
i to the point where rumor was out-
| stripping fact, and it was decided
' to present the evaluations to date
on the "textured yarn” process,
even though the process still re- |
; quires some development.
However, enough has been re
vealed to show that the new pro
cess is an important milestone in
man’s long search for better tex
tiles. DuPont feels that the use
of this development is something
for the textile industry rather than
itself and when perfected it is to
be made available to the trade un
der a license arrangement
Some details of the new progress
which will permit an endless varia-j
tion in both knitted and woven!
fabrics, were presented by a Du
Pont official before a special meet
ing of the American Association of
Textile Technologists. He describ
ed the development as returning
the art of fabric design to the in
dividual textile mills and produc
ing yarns which are distinctly dif
ferent from either sun or filament
