Highway Patrol Plan Proposed Columbia, January 11—A bill to divorce the highway atrol from the state highway depart ment was proposed today by Rep. Matthew Poliakoff of Spartan burg. In an interview, Poliakoff said his measure would avert some of the criticism recently directed at the highway departmnt Removal of responsibility for policing the highways would also permit the department to con centrate on building and main- , taming roads. This, Poliakoff, said, is its chief function. A state highway patrol com mission consisting of five mem bers elected by the General As- s e m b 1 y for four-year terms, would administer the proposed South Carolina Sttae Highway Patrol. They would appoint a director for a four-year term to be executive and administrative head of the patroL Cost of operation of the new agency would be taken from fees We are still in the Christmos seasoh, or, at least, still under the spell of Christmas, so I like to think of the greatness of Ameri can and the richness of our won derful country. Here is some thing that thrilled me: “Unless you are a chemist, metallurgist or very close read er of labels, you may be una ware of the important role titan ium plays in your life. This amazingly versatile substance, until recent years hidden in the black sands of the world, has many practical applications in modem living. Sometimes called the common rarity, titanium is rapidly becom ing a leader in the field of the newer metals, and is finding new and exciting uses in an increas ingly broad sphere. First util ized in the form of dioxide and in recent years as ductile titan ium metal, its combined uses are growing more varied and import ant. The gleaming wnite kitchen equipment in your home, the paint that protects and beautifies your house, your wife’s face pow der and cosmetics and even grandpa’s false teeth — all are made better or more attractive by the use of titanium in some form. Wherever there is a need to make white things whiter, ti tanium is an important ingred ient. It may be in the paper on which this Spectator is printed, the linoleum on your floors, the clothes you wear o rany nember of other common uses. Although first used principally as a white-producing pigment m paints, titanium is now one of the most promising metals in the structural field. Ductile titanium metal, one of the newest and po tentially most useful of the light er structural materials, has ex cited the interest of engineers, chemists and manufacturers as no other metal has done in recent years. Stronger and faster planes, ships that need no paint, tools that will not rust, gas turbi and jet engines of greater pow er, kitchen utensils with cool handles, jewelry more brilliant than diamonds, optical lenses of finer precision—these are only a! put after the Nazis invaded his coun try, Kroll fled to the United States. He joined forces with the Bureau of Mines in 1944. On the basis of his previous discoveries, great progress was made in the present method of producing me tallic titanium. Extensive lab oratory tests and field experi ments resulted in the establish ment of pilot plants which later brought about the development of more extensive, commercial titanium-producing facilities. In 1948 the world’s first com mercial production of ductile ti tanium was begun. This was in a small unit at Newport, Dela ware, operated by du Pont. Out- was small, but expanded few of the exciting ways in' steadily, reaching a production of which titanium in its various j 700 tons in 1952. Present daily forms is either now utilized or will be soon. In ductile metal forms, titan ium is at its greatest use in the manufacture of military planes and ordnance equipment. Since it is little more than half as heavy as steel, yet fully as strong, it is a natural in the field cf aircraft design. Its very fa vorable strength-to-weight ratio and its high corrosion resistance make it more desirable than stainless steel in many structural uses. Although heavier than capacity of the du Pont plants is about ten tons. Several other large industrial firms have be come engaged in titanium pro duction, resulting in increased output and some lowering of prices. The demand is yet far in excess of the supply. Titanium in dioxide form was pioneered by National Lead Company, whose experiments led to the use of titanium pigment to increase the whiteness of paint. It was also through the efforts of this company that the aluminum, it is six times strong-; new titania jewelry stones were er, and its high resistance to heat j discovered.

The Navy is interested m this silvery-white metal because of its resistance to rust when immersed in sea water. Tests made by the Remington Arms Company and the Bureau of Ships showed that commercially pure titanium is unaffected by stagnant or flow ing sea water. It has also been found to be remarkably imper vious to chemical corrosion, mak ing it adaptable to the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, ma rine equipment and other indus tries. Titanium has the further ad vantage of being abundant. It is more plentiful than nickel, copper and lead combined, being the ninth most common element in the earth’s crust and the fourth most abundant of the stnicutral metals. It is exceeded only by aluminum, iron and magnesium.-' It is found virtually every where. It is contained in crys talline rocks, in many minerals, in soils and clays and in many of the black sea sands of the world. It is present in both fresh and salt water and in plants, and traces have even been detected in human flesh and bones. In spite of wide distribution, titanium is present in only a few minerals in sufficient quantity to make its extraction profitable. Titanium has been known for l about 160 years, although it has been only in recent years that progress has been made in its de velopment. Strangely enough, it was discovered by a minister, rather than a geologist. In 1789, William Gregory, a clergyman and amateur mineralogist, no ticed a peculiar black sand on the beach near Cornwall, England. His analysis resulted in the iso lation of a new element which he called menachite. ive years later, Martin Hein rich Klaproth, a German chem ist, fuond the same substance while he was studying the min- ! eral, rutile. Perhaps because of his more imganiative turn of mind, or because of the general custom of scientists to name their discoveries after mythologicsji characters, Klaproth called the new mineral ’titanium’, after the titans of Greek mythology. The new name caught on whereas the more prosaic menachite was for gotten. Early efforts to isolate metallic titanium from its ores made little progress. It was not until 1940 that Wilhelm Kroll of Luxem bourg reported his now funous discovery of a practical way to ed three-fourth of the make titanium matal. Shortly j church’s sell , for a fraction of the price of diamonds. Many extravagant claims have been made for titanium, both in its metallic and dioxide forms. Whether or not it will be able to live up to its titles of the ‘wonder metal,’ ‘glamor metal,’ or ‘light weight champion,’ it is certain to play an increasingly important role in our economy.” Samuel E.
