DR. JOHN L. LOCKETT Plans Research Dr. Lockett Sfeps Down As Head Of VSC School Dr. John L.

Lpckett, who was director of the Virginia State Col lege School of Agriculture for years, is continuing as professor of agronomy. He is also planning research on the effect of radiation on certain genera of mold in the production of antagonistic substances. Dr. Lockett studied at Iowa State University and was award ed his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Rutgers University Lodi Statue is Dedicated By Allied Co. HOPEWELL A 25-ton Travertine statue, a gift of Italy's largest textile manufacturer, SNIA Viscose, S.P.

was dedicated at Allied Chemical Corporation's multi-million-dollar nylon plant at Columbia, S. C. a week. The heroic-size "token of friendship and cooperation" be- the tw; companies consists of a group of statuary on a pedestal and includes the symbolic figures' of two men, a rearing horse and a writhing sea- serpent. The donor is Dr.

Franco Marinotti, president and managing director of SNIA. In a brief outdoor ceremony, the huge gift was unveiled, christiened with a bottle of American champagne, and dedicated before a small audience of distinguished guests and Allied em- ployes. Countess Paolo Marinotti, wife of SNIA's general manager of foreign operations, unveiled the statue, which is the work of the Italian sculptor, Leone Lodi. Count Marinotti, acting on behalf of his father, Dr. Franco Marinotti, dedicated the unusual gift.

The occasion marked the successful start-up of Allied Chemical's fine-denier nylon plant, now employing about 850 persons. The fibers plant was constructed in 1961-62 as a result of an agreement between Allied anc Snia Viscosa. It is equippec with various types of textile machinery designed and built by SNIA, with certain modifications by Allied, and has a capacity in excess of 20 million pounds of yarn per year. Under this agreement, SNIA has furnished information and assistance necessary for the construction and operation of the plant, including instruction of personnel in the use and maintenance of the equipment. The ceremonies were opened by Frank J.

French, president of AUied's newjy formed fibers division, which operates the plant and the Chesterfield fiber plant Bear Hopewell. Chester M. Brown, president of Allied Chemical, formally accept- fd gift Following the dedication, the guests were honored at a luncheon at the Palmetto in Columbia. Created last year, Lodi's larger-than-life group represents the joining of the Latin and American civilizations. Fourteen feet high, the statue is ten and a half feet long and has a gross weight of 51,000 pounds.

Sculptor Leone Lodi was bom near Milan in 1900. He studied at the Beaux Arts Academy and Scuola Superiore D'Arte at the Sforza castle in Milan. Since 1962 he has had his own studio. His works include numerous bas- reliefs and decorative statues for such buildings at the Palazzo Delia Borea, Palazzo Di Guistiz- ia and Sede Delia Finanaza in Milan, Adamello Hudroelec- tric Com. Building, and SNIA's Torviscosa headquarters.

In addition to being Italy's largest producer of textiles, SNIA Viscosa a among the hundred largest foreign industrial concerns listed by Fortune Magazine. SNIA employs more than 50,000 persons and operates major nylon plants at Cesano Maderno and Varedo, and other fa- cilMitt TorviscoM, Magenta, PavU, Sagrado, Turino and Trieste following World War II he was one of 12 American 'Scientists invited to write papers for the Russian Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries. Under his leadership the School of Agriculture made a substantial growth in enrollment, going from a beginning enrollment of 11 to a peak enrollment of 135 students. Many of his students have earned higher degrees. Six of these graduates went on to earn Doctor of Philosophy degrees and are now on the college faculty.

When Dr. Lockett ended his career as director of the school he was able to see completed a modern agricultural science building which he had been. instrumental in. planning. The building is well equipped for research and teaching on both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

He can also look with pride at the faculty which he has recruited. Of the 15 members, eight hold doctorate degrees. Interwoven with his career at the college is an outstanding record of service in civic, patriotic and charitable activities. The organizations which he has worked are legion. In recognition of leadership he was the recipient 6t the Man ot the trophy from the Professional Agricultural Workers Conference, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.

He also received the Old Dominion Agricultural Teachers Award for 1962, and the Farm and Home Agents Association Award for this contribution towards the advancement of agriculture in Virginia. Another honor was the Lunenburg High School Teachers meritorious award for his leadership in the field of education. Among his many activities was the organization of the i Farmers Conference in Virginia. His publications include five work concerning scientific agriculture. Now that he has stepped down as director of the school, Dr.

Lockett hopes to carry on some research in addition to his teaching and other activities. Obituaries Harold W.

NORAD Now Using Direct Dial System The first continent-wide direct dual communications system designed for tactical military use went into operation recently in the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), represented here on Fort Lee by the Washington Air Defense Sector. The lightening fast telephone system is a highly sophisticated version of the recently activated long distance dialing network to which American telephone subscribers are fast becoming accustomed. The Automatic Dial Switching Network (ADSN) is operated for NORAD by USAF's Air Defense Command and follows the basic operating procedures of the commercial "Area Code" system. A forerunner of a world-wide automatic dial network, ADSN began operation with service to some 60 NORAD and ADC installations, Department of Defense agencies in Washington, D.C. and associated.

miHtary commands on the North American continent. It will be expand ed eventually to serve 100 military locations through 27 switching centers in the aerospace age when a fraction of a second can spell the difference between destruction and survival. This communications network is designed to eliminate time lags in booking calls, anJ other horse and buggy mechanic of telephone operations. One of th especial features of ADSN is the capability to automatically avoid; potential trouble areas by diversifying call and circuit routing. This insures survivability of communicatJons in case of enemy attack on the North American continent.

Other features provide the aerospace defense commander, tracking an unidentified object on his radar screen, with a rapid means of warning NORAD and the nation. To place a call through the NORAD-ADC Automatic i a Switching Network, one has only to pick up the instrument and dial the proper "Area Code" and number. The call is automatically routed over one of three possible routes to a given location. If the direct route has no vacan circuit, two alternate routes will be attempted before a busy sdg- nal is returned to the caHing party. If the call rates a priority, the switching center machine searches for a vacant circuit in one of three possible trunk systems.

If a vacant circuit is not found on its first look, it automatically repeats the procedure, cutting off the first non- priority call it meets. Thus the priority call is completed promptly. This feature provides optimum and timely call assurance. If, in the event of war, 50 percent of the circuits were knocked out, the system would still operate with a high degree of efficiency, by passing affected Also, at no time will the entire' system be busy. "This elaborate system be busy.

"This structed that all 60 locations can stm have room for more. Because of its flexibility, the automatic dial switching operated point-to-point system, ADC envision a 50 percent 75 percent increase in traffic flow because of route diversity alone which will eliminate lengthy time lags in sdl placement As much as of Life Insurance for only Young homeowners will be especially interested in learning more about this unusual type of life insurance.
