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

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

within

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.”

Dr. Frank W. Price, chairman of

However, Dr. Price added that
he regarded as uncertain the
prospect of unification receiving
a favorable vote from the raquir-
Southern
“In 10 to 80 presbyteries," ha
continued, “the voting will be
very dose and thaae will decide
the issue.
“An increase of pro-union sen
timent is now reported in a num
ber of presbyteries formerly op
posed to union. If this continues,
in a movement inspired by ear
nest prayer, daring faith and
guidance of the Holy Spirit, we
may see union realized m 1955
