TOME United Press Financial Writer BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UP) Steel-one of America's giant industries is helping to spark the industrial growth and economic resurgence of the South.

Steel has done more than anything else tc boom Birmingham from a wilderness crossroads into a thriving metropolitan area of 601,000 persor1 within little more than half a century. Today it is known as the burgh of the South," thanks" to the "fiery gizzard."

(TCI), now one of the principal operating divisions of giant U.S. Steel Corp.

Republic Steel Corp. third biggest in the industry also has plants here and at Gadsden, 60 miles to the northeast.

The fortunate combination of coal and iron ore key ingredients in steelmaking has triggered the growth of steelmaking in the South. This growth has meant new jobs, new wealth and less dependence on agriculture.

Arthur Wiebel, president TCI, calls' the Southeast and Southwest "the fastest growing region in the United States. There are natural resources in abundance in the South. The climate makes it easier to lure workrs south than it is to entice them to industry in the North."

McClelland of Has so Heights, who is a member of the repair division on board the USS Carpenter, one of four Pearl Harbor-based Navy ships in Destroyer Division 251, recently made a fiveday "goodwill" cruise to Sydney, Australia. Interviewed while working in the ship fitters shop, Ed said, "Sydney and the people there were really wonderful.

They treated us like we were of them which is unusual in a foreign port." Before entering the Navy in March, 1956, Ed was graduated from Senior High School. He reported to the Carpenter in August, 1956, from Great Lakes, where he attended Navy service school. En route "down under," the Carpenter crossed the Equator. Ed and the other "pollywogs" (men who hadn't crossed the "'Line" before) were given a royal Navy initiation. By crossing the 00-00 degree latitude and experiencing the initiation, Ed became a "shellback" and member of the Solemn Mysteries of the Ancient Order of the Deep.

While in Sydney, Ed learned through association with several Australians that as a whole they are more sports-minded than Americans. "They play golf, tennis, have water sports, and of course cricket, which is the most popular," 1 he said. The Oil City youth is training toward advancement in the rating of pipefitter. It's Ed's duty to check metal fittings on the ship, repairing broken ones and replacing wornout parts. After the cruise is over, and the Carpenter, one of four Pearl Harbor based ships in Destroyer Division 251, is back in her homeport, Ed plans to take leave.

"I know I'll have a lot to tell all my friends," he said, "concerning this cruise and all about the places the Carpenter has visited." U. S.
