West Virginia isn’t expected to halt the Lions’ winning ways when they meet next week, What young people are doing at Young scientist works on new ways improve metals Today scientists and engineers face one of the toughest barriers of all the “metal barrier.” Modern technology has progressed so rapidly that today’s metals can’t meet the tremendous demands placed upon them. For such fields as aviation, electronics, atomic energy, present metals must be improved and new kinds of materials must be developed. One of the young men playing a role in this new and important field is 30-year-old Dr. Roland P. Carreker, Jr. Career's Work tnterestiftf, Vital As a research associate in the General Elec tric Research Laboratory’s Metals and Ceramics facility, Carreker’s chief concern is the improvement of metals through new processing techniques. In his work, Dr. Carreker has dealt with such important metallurgical problems as metal failure in high-speed turbine rotors, determining the strength of pure metals from —-425°F, the temperature of liquid hydrogen, to 2,800°F and economic studies of new metallurgical processes. 25,000 College Graduates at General Electric When Carreker came to General Electric in 1947, he already knew the work he wanted to do. Like each of our 25,000 college graduate employees, he is given a chance to grow and realize his full potential. For Gen eral Electric has long believed this: When fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits the in dividual, the company, and the country.
