PLANTS IN STATE NOW BEING URGED Jacobs Reports Progress in Efforts For Tin Smelting and Cement Production Ooluunbia, Oct. 29.—Progfress to ward establishment of tin smelting and cement plants in South Carolina as a part of the national defense pro gram was announced today by Dr. William P. Jacobs, chairman of the state council for national defense. The statement came after the coun cil conferred with Frank Bane, dir ector of state and local cooperation for the advisory committee to the na tional defense council. Subcommit tees appointed to work for specific plant development and representa tives of a legislative committee set up to cooperate on rational defense also attended the conference. Jacobs said the state council had definite commitments from the Recon. struction Finance Corporation for aid in financing tin smelting and ce ment plants. He pointed out that there was no tin smelting plant in this country and no cement plants in the Carolinas. Jacobs said the council also was looking into the possibility of estab lishing additional canneries .“to eli minate waste and to encourage the growng of more vegetables in the state.” A textile study committee al so was active, he said, to see if it were feasible for some textile plants “to extend operations to the field of woolen goods.” At Bane’s suggestion, Jacobs said, the council recommended to Governor Maybank the appointment of sub-de fense council for areas congested by defense activities. This would apply only to Charleston and Columbia so far. The sub-committee to work fog the tin smelting plant is composed of Charles L. Cobb of Rock Hill, Ed ward R. Jefferies of Gaffney, and Major L. S. Letellier of Charleston. For the cement plf.it, B. M. Edwards of Columbia, J. Innis McCants of Charleston and R. M. Sumwalt of Co lumbia; for cannery expansion, Augus E. Bird of Columbia, Tom B. Pearce of Columbia add Leroy Lee of Kings- tree; for textiles, J. E. Sirrine, Fred W. Simms and Ernest Patton, all of Greenville. Mrs. Hassell Drury, of Athens, Ga., sister of Gene Parker of the city, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry West on Calhoun street.

National Bank FDR NOT PLEDGED TO GO INTO WAR Ambassador to Britain Says He Would Find Out if Any Secret Commitments New York, Oct. 29.—Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy tonight branded as “false” a cnarge that President Roosevelt was trying to involve this country in the war abroad and called for his re-election as the man who “can best serve the nation.” Kennedy, who made a hurried re- return by clipper plane Sunday from England, spoke over a nation-wide network of the Columbia Broadcasting System in a program sponsored by his wife and nine children. He denied there was a secret com mitment by the president to Great Britain to lead the United States into war, saying: “If President Roosevelt were as wicked as his opponents charge, which he is not, and even if he had undisclosed commitments, which he has not, the facts are against our participation in this war.” The ambassador asserted that in his post as a representative of the American people in London, j».e “Would certainly become aware” of any such commitment and that he could “assure you now with absolute sincerity and honesty that there has been no such commitment.” “We are re-arming,” he said, because it is the only way in which America can stay out of war. If we re-arm fast enough, America will stay out of war. It Is today our guarantee of peace.” “It is not an answer to uui prob lem that strong men, able men may be summoned to cabinet posts. Ultimately decisions on burning ques tions of policy will have to be made by the chief executive. A new hand cannot give these problems that care ful, thorough and intelligent atten tion which they must immediately have if cur nation is to be secure. “In the light of these considera tions, I believe that Franklin D Roosevelt should be reelected presi dent of the United States.” EDUCATION ASSOCIATION MEETS; MAPS PLAN The Newberry County Education association was represented by eight members at a meeting of the council of delegates and a session of the ad visory legislative committee of the South Carolina Education association in Columbia, Saturday, October 26.
