Carolina
By NEIL BAS3
The Carolina Forum, currently
headed by Jim Holmes of Mt.
Airy, has had a full and rich his
tory. The Forum became the official
student government speaker pro
curement agency iii 19-19. Prior to
that time, speaker procurement
for the.campus had been handled
by the Carolina Political Union,
which came into being In 1934.
The CPU became a discussion
group exclusively after the For
um's designation to btlng speak
ers here by the student Legisla
ture. It is currently .inactive.
Speakers contacted to address
the campus by the two agencies,
whose files are among the most
complete and valu&fcle of any
similar organization artvwhere in
the country, include such notable
names as:
Leon Trotsky, Sant Rayburn,
George C. Marshall, Charles A.
Lindbtirgh, John L. Lewis and John "
Gunter. '
The list of outstanding and
prominent figures who were con-
tacted by the agencies but "who

Dr. Mason, in order to get a per

to produce his own.
William Harthill, 47. said he al

by the Ministry of Fuel to go in
to business of making synthetic
motor fuel. He did not disclose
his formula.
"I expect to be able to supply
about 30,000 gallons a week at

the figure," Harthin said.

The Ministry and other govern

to encourage any and all efforts
to lick the gasoline shortage ever
since closing of the Suez Canal

mal supply from the Middle East.
Harthill said his mixture looks
and smells like gasoline and a
Sheffield driving school already
has put it to a test. It behaved
just like ordinary, 85 octane gas
oline, he claimed.
Harthill offered only a few
clues as to how his sjntho'ic

he said, are three liquids which
are not in short supply.
