Washington Report^ COMPLICATED. "Ill a very complicated field to get into," Scott Mid. "but these most recent pricc increases definitely look like more then just coincidence." Scott Mid he felt the oil com penies "ibould pay the eonaequen cea" if it is found that they boosted prices to take advantage of the war scare in the Middle Eaat. He said it "is more than strange" that the increases came at a time • hen inventories of the oil companies are abnormally high " "On the face of it," he said, "it just doesn't look regular, and I think Congress has an obligation to let the public know what's going on." ASSIGNMENTS Now that com mittee assignments have been j made by Congress, Senator Scott will be burning the midnight oil.' He was named chairman of the 1 Tobacco Subcommittee of the Sen-' ate Agriculture Committee and will begin hearings "as soon as poaaible" on some of the tobacco industry's many complex prob'lems. The first order of business, Scott aaid, would be to go over the re-1 cent variety regulations of the Dopartment of Agriculture "with a fine-tooth comb." In addition to a drastic acreage reduction in tobacco this year, the Department outlawed the production of three high-yielding varieties.

Thanks Paper To The Editor: A newspaperman looked at a sheet of Christmas (tamp* and exclaimed, "Here'i a way to wipe out tuberculosis." This statement, made in the presence of the editor-in-chief of the North American, resulted in that newspaper using its influence to help sell the stamps to raise funds to keep a shack open where eight TB patients were being treated. The first Christmas Seal Sale produced ten times the necessary amount. The 90th Christmas Seal Sale has also been aided immeasurably by the support/of newspapers. As State Christmas Seal Chairman, I wish to thank your newspaper, on behalf of the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association, for its support and enlist your cooperation throughout the year in the work of your local TB Association. To your readers who generously bought and used Christmas Seals, and those who, through oversight, have not sent in their contribution yet, but who intend to do so, we say "Thank You." We urge you to participate in the TB control program you helped pay for and to learn how to keep TB from happening to you. TB has not been wiped out. But there is more real hope for its de (eat today than ever before. The number of death* prevented, eince drugi entered the traatoMM picture a decade ago, u impressive Lea* progress baa bees made In preventing the spread of TB from the lick to the well ft i* here that the help of every citizen Is needed. The total of Christmas Seal ruitribu Lions a* of January 11. according to report! received from 102 local aafoeiaUom. is U13X7 28. Of this amount, M per cent remains in North Carolina to support the work of the state and local associations. Six per cent goes to the National Tuberculosis Association and conies back to us in services and in the benefits of a nation-wide reeearch program.
