Washington During the past
week many millions of people
all over the world have been
celebrating the 10th Anniversary
of tlje United States Information
Agency.
The USlA—as we know it and
as it is known throughout the
world—was set up ten years
ago to carry the message ''of
America to all parts of the
world through broadcasts, news-*
papers, magazines, libraries, and
other means of communications.
North Carolina has had a spe- j
cial place in the development
of the USIA for several reasons. |
' First ot all, the present Di-j
rector of the USlA—the world- 1
-famous radio and television com
imentator, Edward R. Murrow—
is a native North Carolinian. Mr.
predecessor was also
a North Carolinian, the 'Honor
able George V. Allen.
This means that for a good
part of the ten years the USIA
has been in existence native
North Carolinians have had a
direct hand in guiding its course
and jn developing it into onp
of the most highly respected in
formation organizations in 'the
world.
There is another reason that
we in North Carolina are proud
of the USIA.
In eastern North Carolina near
Greenville there is located the
world’s largest radio transmit
ter, and it is operated by the
USIA. The facilities near
Greenville transmit radio broad
casts to all points of the earth,
and to give you some idea of its
strength this complex is equal
to more than 90 radio stations
of the Sb,ooo-watt size.
It is estimated that many mil
lions of people throughout the
world listen to the regular pro
grams of the Voice'of America
which are transmitted from
North Carolina each day. In

times of crisis, this number
jumps into the hundreds of mil
lions of people, and it gives us
in the United States a unique
way of reaching people behind
the Iron Curtain and giving
them the message of freedom
and the United States at a time
when world opinion is so sensi
tive to world conditions.
At times we may wonder in
. North Carolina just what we are
contributing to the cause of free
dom and our struggle with Com
] munism, but we can take pride
i in the fact that we are at the
I very forefront in the contribu
tions we have made to the USIA.

For the first time, a physical
connection now exists between
the Virginia, mainland and the
Eastern Shore. It was made
Wednesday with the driving into
the bay bottom of the final pile
for this tremendous project.
The 126-foot concrete pile was
the 2,640th driven to support the
12.2 miles of concrete roadway
—about two-thirds the total
length of the world’s longest
bridge-tunnel, Byrum said. Plac
ing of the roadway deck will be
finished by the end of Sep
tember, it was stated.
No celebration is planned, said
Byrum, although the event will
end a 2-month task that started
at the south edge of Chesapeake
Bay, March 28, 1961. The real
celebration, of course, will be in
March next year when the first
of the traveling public’s vehicles
will begin crossing the complet
ed span.
