Charleston, W. Va. (U.R)
The latest chapter in the phen
omenal growth of the upper
Ohio River valley into one of
the great chemical centers of the
nation is being written at the
rural community of Ravens-
wood, W. Va.
Kaise Aluminum and Chemi
cal Corp. has started construc
tion of a new S100,000,000 plant
at the town, which now counts
its inhabitants at 1,200. The
new plant will employ twice
that many persons and the pop
ulation of the community is ex
pected to reach 5,000 within five
years.
The story of Ravenswood is
typical of many communities
nestling in the broad valley of
the Ohio River affected by the
growth, of the chemical industry
in the area in the past 12 years.
War Started It
The boom started during
World War II when the nation's
chemical facilities were strained
to the breaking point, Geolo
gists, studying earth formations,
concluded the great salt vein
which made central New York
a chemical center should re-
apper near New Martinsville,
W. Va.
The goverment immediately
started a million-dollar chlorine
and caustic soda plant there,
The geologists were right. Drill
ers found the valley was under
laid with rich salt deposits.
The Columbia Southern Div
ision of Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Co. was named to operate the
plant! At the end of the war,
Columbia Southern bought the
facilities and started an expans
ion program that continues. The
parade was on.
Solvay Process and National
Analine built at Moundsville, W.
Va., American Cyanamid at St.
Mary's DuPont at Parkersburg
and Linde Air Products at
Sisterville.
The plants began pouring out
products with such tongue-twist
ing names as phthalic anhydri
de, anhydrous ammonia, chlor-
otetracycline and polyethelenes.
They find their markets in
wearing apparel, plastics, fert
ilizers and thousands of other
products for industrial and con
sumer use.
The boom had a mushrooming
Long-Haul Trucks
Again Haul Freight
Los Angeles (U.R) Long-
haul trucks moved again today
over the highways of 11 Western
states following ratification of
a new three-year contract be
tween AFL teamsters and the
trucking industry.
Approval of the new contract
was announced Saturday by
Federal Conciliator John Fenton
and thousands of drivers, dock
men and office personnel were
ordered to return to work. The
strike began May 19.
With local contract variations,
long-haul operators won an im
mediate 8-cent-hourly pay in
crease, with additional hikes
totaling 15 cents to follow in the
next two years.
Short-haul workers received
boosts totaling 29 cents over a
three-year period. The union also
received a mileage increase of
one-fourth cent a mile and pen
sion benefits.
End of Cominform
Believed Possible
London (U.R) Russia may
be willing to break up its no
torious "Cominform" as part of
a bargain for cooperation with
the Western Powers, diplomatic
reports have indicated.
The Cominform is the Com
munist Bureau of Information
which the Kremlin formed as a
propaganda and coordinating
agency in-1947.
Reports from behind the Iron
Curtain suggest that the dissolu
tion of the Cominform might be
promised by Russia as one of
its maneuvers in the new "soft
approach" it is now using.
It was recalled that the "Com
intern" Communist Interna
tional which was the predeces
sor of the Cominform was dis
solved during World War II as
a gesture toward the non-Communist
Allies.
Butler in Texas
To Patch Up Rifht
Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Paul But
ler, national chairman of the
Democratic party, flew here to
day to begin a week-long tour
of Texas designed to patch up
the rift in party ranks.
The Democrats split in the
1952 presidential campaign
when the liberals supported Ad
lai Stevenson, while Gov. Allan
Shivers led the conservative ele
ments in backing President Eisenhower.
effect. As a plant would go into
operation, others were built
nearby to make use of its prod
ucts and by- products. The end
isn't in sight.
The coming of the chemical
industry was a boon to residents
of the valley. Mayor Paul
Stewart of Ravenswood describ
ed the town's experience as
"like moving from a small a
partment into a fine, large
home."
"We'll have better schools,
bigger church congregations
just a better place to live," he
said.
To the economy of West Virg
inia, the upsurge of chemicals
was like manner in the wilderness
of problems arising out of dec
line of the soft coal industry, the
state's biggest business.
Coal hit the skids about six
years ago. Unemployment rose,
payrolls fell and retail business
suffered. Now coal experts pre
dict the industry will make a
comeback and within 15 years
once again be booming.
With a giant chemical and a
healthy coal industry, West Vir
ginia expects to take its place
among the leading industrial
areas of the nation.
A key lifeline of the boom is
the Ohio River which offers
cheap water transporation to
other chemical and industrial
centers on the Gulf Coast. Ton
nage transported on some sect
ions of the Ohio is more than
double that of the Panama
Canal.
Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) What's
wrong between Dean Martin and
Jerry Lewis? Their friends
agreed today
it's a case of
Martin having
that old team
ailment sec
ond f iddle-itis.
Martin's fear
that he's being
nudged into a
minor role is
the major rea-
Aline Mosby son, their pals
say, for their recent friction.
The comedian and the singer
have three years to go on their
NBC contract and another five
with Paramount, so it's certain
they'll work together next fall
in TV and movies.
But a long unhappiness erupt
ed this week when Jerry took
off alone for a premiere of
"You're Never Too Young" at a
Catskill Mountain hotel where
he got his start. Dean turned
down the junket because he felt
he'd be left out of the limelight.
It wasn't the first discord be
tween the two.
Not Jerry's Fault
Martin decided he didn't have
enough to do in the script of
"Three Ring Circus" nearly two
years ago.
"It isn't Jerry's fault. Produc
ers, directors and writers often
favor Jerry more and Jerry does
not like that any more than
Dean," friends of the team say.
During filming of the same
picture Dean discovered he'd
been cut out of magazine pho
tographs that he and Jerry had
posed for with Sheree North.
Martin also heard Jerry had
done a newspaper interview
without him. The singer walked
off the set, and shooting was sus
pended for a day until producer
Hal Wallis patched up the tiff.
Later the boys agreed, at Jer
ry's suggestion, to be interview
ed and photographed only to
gether. A month ago Martin was to
appear at a charity benefit stag
ed by his wife, Jeanne. At the
last minute Jerry joined him.
Jerry, following their resolu
tion to function only as a team,
even appeared when Martin sang
on the last Academy Award tele
cast. Practiced Golf
But Martin complained he was
a fifth wheel in their last NBC
TV script. He didn't show up for
many rehearsals, shruggin,"Why
should I? I got nothn' to do."
Dean practiced his golf swing on
the NBC set and, observers re
port, "needled Jerry about his
trying to direct the show."
The final touch came when
Lewis failed to send Martin a
birthday card last Tuesday.
"Another reason for the
trouble is that Jerry is young
and full of energy and wants
to work," one associate of the
team says. "Dean is 10 years
cider and likes to play golf and
take it easy. Jerry also is very
ambitious and wants to be a
director.
"Martin shouldn't think he's
a second fiddle. He's as import
ant to the act as Jerry is-and
they'll both do better together
than apart.

By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King fturo Syndicate, lac)
It has been said: "Isn't it too
bad that the people you want
to see all of the time you see
only some of the time and those
you want to see only some of the
time you see all of the time?
That strikes me as a good de
scription of the television situa
tion. Even the most brilliant
entertainers are in danger of
boring the customers when they
are on the airwaves too often.
Anyway a couple of fellows I
see only some of the time on TV
are two of my favorites, Jack
Pearl, the highly whimsical com
edian, and Morton Downey, the
golden voiced Irish tenor. I first
saw him in a revue on the Cen
tury Roof, Manhattan. Ben Bard
was his straight man then. As
for Morton Downey, I could lis
ten to him for hours when he
starts warbling Irish melodies.
Let's have Jack and Morton
more of the time instead of just
some of the time.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
shape and how beautiful must
be the hands of a young woman
who wants to be a hand model?
A. Can't answer that definitely.
However the leading "hand jnod
el" in New York is Yvonne
Sergent. There is a photograph
of her hands in the New York
Museum of Modern Art. If
you have hands somewhat simi
lar to Yvonne you are in the
hand model class . . . Q. Was
John Philip Sousa the band
master of Italian descent? A.
Sousa was born in Washington,
D.C. His father, Antonio So, a
trombonist in the United States
Marine Band, was of Spanish
birth. It is said that So added
USA to his name thus making
it Sousa. As you know, John
Philip Sousa began his career
with the United States Marine
Band. Same group in which his
father played the trombone.
Horses and Women
Swaps, the Kentucky Derby
winner, is a nice colt. However,
let's not get hysterical yet and
start referring to him as "The
Horse of the Century." Swaps
didn't beat much in the "Run
for the Roses." Nashua is an un
controlable horse. Summer Tan
is still a convalescent h or.s e.
Jean's Joe, perhaps the best
horse in the Kentucky Derby
from a physical standpoint, is
temperamental. He runs only
when he fells like it. Some day
he may feel like it and beat
Swaps by several lengths.
Doormen
How much does the doorman
at a top grade city or resort hotel
average in tips? To that I don't
know the answer. However, the
tips for the doormen are report
ed so good at the luxury hotels
in Miami, Fla., that applicants
for the position pay for the job,
Is said some pay several thou
sand dollars to get a doorman's
job for which no salary is paid.
The tips provide a very fancy
income. .......
Suggestion
Do you know a eirl with a
good singing voice plus an at
tractive streamlined appear
ance? One having ambitions to
succeed in the world of enter
tainment? I have an idea for
her. Have her master a banjo,
guitar or mandolin so she can
accompany herself. That will
greatly improve her chances for
success. Females who can just
sing and wave their hands or
snap their fingers are plentiful.
mere is a terrific audience ap
peal in a girl who can play her
own accomrjaniement on one nf
the instruments aforementioned.
Look at the record.
Sidelights
Know any youne woman who
is to be a June bride? Include
in the smaller weddine nresents
you give her that highly valu-
aoie book of helpful house
keeping hints titled "The Home
maker and Her Job," by Dr. Lil
lian Gilbreth . . . Not auite a
few women customers in barber
shops recently. What's the idea?
Are the haircuts at the beauty
snop not so good? Or is it just
because some women like to be
where men are greatly in the
majority?
Objections
A Bostonian obiects to mv
reference to "A Woman Named
Evelyn Hope." Says he, "Every
body knows if the name is Ev
elyn, the person is a woman.
Why waste . space-" There are
also men named Evelyn. As for

is also a St. Louis in Michigan.
A highly indignant Calif ornian
once wrote: "Why refer to Pasa

Evidently the gentleman didn't
