Radar to Be Used At Cape Hatteras
Radar equipment has been installed at the Cape Hatteras Weather Bureau Station to improve tracking and warnings for ships in the treacherous waters off Hatteras. Forecasters expect a significant saving of lives at sea as hurricanes approach from the Caribbean, with additional staff to boost radar coverage in Charleston. The region, famed for maritime tragedy and mystery, has witnessed several historic shipwrecks including the Monitor and the USS Huron, while legends of treasure have long stirred sea-adventure lore.

Coal Price Up After Contract
Appalachian Coals Inc plans a 40 cent per ton rise on all bituminous coal to cover higher costs from a new labor contract. John L Lewis, UMW president, secured a miners wage increase last week and the 40 cent hike is said to be the minimum needed to reimburse commercial mines in the agency for added costs. When the 15 cent per ton next April 1 rise takes effect, a total increase is expected. Appalachian coal had averaged 4.50 to 5.00 dollars per ton.
