Roberts, Pres ident of the Carolina Motor Club, who said the directory was “the first re sult of a broad and impartial survey of overnight lodgings being conducted in North and South Carolina," Mr. Roberts said that the directory, entitled “Where to Stop in the Caro- j linas" contains nearly 1,500 over- [ night lodgings,.including hotels, tour ist homes, motor courts and guest I houses which have been reported by Club representatives and by organi-1 zations cooperating with the project. He indicated that the survey would continue, with the object of making . known to the traveling public, every acceptable overnight lodging accom , modal ion in the Carolinas. thus re- I lieving facilities that are being over-' i taxed Jn Some areas. The Carolina Motor Club survey of I • accommodations, which was started ’severalmonths ago, was undertaken [for the purpose of "reconciling the expanding Carolinas’ travel industry, with existing tourist accommodations, j ■ according to the Club official. "Our idea," he said, "was to relieve the excessive demands on certain estab-', lishments by encouraging the use of], all acceptable facilities. This we hope | to accomplish by publishing little known lodgings in the directory.” • , Radio Service 1 For quick arid dependable p radio service, call THOMAS ' JACKSON' at Hiighes-Holton j Hardware Store. , Jackson Radio Service \ We Carry All Kinds of Parts 1 Which Are Available ■ - i THE CHOWAN HERALD. KDENTON, N, C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1946. •T * Current Events I $ 41 | Considerable tension between Rus sia and the western democracies at' .the Paris Peace Conference has! ! arisen over the proposed peace trea-1 jties. The third clash last week be-i tween Russian Foreign Minister V’ya 'cheslav M. Molotov and American [Secretary of State James F. Byrnes highlighted and dramatized the poli tical and economic rivalry of the two great world powers. BULGARIA’S DEMAND ... of the transfer of western Thrace from Greece to Bulgaria, giving that coun try an outlet to the Aegean Sea arid bringing it under Soviet influence, as Bulgaria is within the Russian sphere, was asked at one of the sessions. The climax precipitated when Secretary j Byrnes said that “America seeks no | territory and seeks no reparations”— in contrast to the large territories and many millions of dollars Russia would receive under those parts of ithe proposed treaties on which the •Rig Four are already agreed. CALCUTTA, INDIA . . . was the scene of rioting and bloodshed when Moslems and Hindus fought ill the j metropolitan area over the week-end. j The conflict between India’s powerful j nationalist group, the Hindu Congress [Party and the separatist Moslem I League broke into a riot when Mos lem demonstrations for increased rep resentation were held. More than 270 people were killed and over 1,600 in jured as Moslems set fire to Hindu i houses and shops. Palestine . . . tong a problem j to England, and recently bearing the aspect of a country besieged, was hack in the headlines with more il legal entries and more violence. New threats of disorder arose over the 1 week-end after a military court sen-j rtented to death 18 Jewish men arid to !' life imprisonment four Jewish girls who had been convicted for participa tion in a bomb attack on several rail way shops. The controversy goes back to the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which placed the British govern ment on record in favor of a national home for the Jewish people but pro- : vided that nothing shall he done to' prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities. In the exchange of views between the British and American governments on the Palestine problem, President Tru man revealed that he w as asking Con gress to permit more refugees, Jewish ami others, to enter the United i States. ‘ THE WAR ASSETS ADM I NTS-j TRATION . . . reportedly charged j with the: disposition of nine billion dollars worth of surplus war prop • erty, was brought under close scrutiny ' by a House.of Representatives inves tigation committee.

ARGENTINA, SUSPECTED ... of fascist principles with the advent of the Peron regime, took another step j last week that smacked of more fas cists leanings. Director of Migration i Dr. Santiago M. Peralta announced a j 5(1-year plan to increase the country’s | population to 10(1,000,000 by inviting immigrants of "the best racial types” to Argentina. Under the plan, Dr. Paralta is inviting 1,000 Norwegian quislings, and as many as possible of the 200,000 expatriates of Lieut. Gen. Wladislaw Anders’ Polish army and the.ir families. They are expected to arrive shortly with all of the army’s , equipment including tanks, which : according to Peralta will be converted to tractors.

I This is about 5 per cent less than the 1945 production of 296,400,000 pounds. I The acreage is down 4 per cent from last year. Prospective yields on August 1 were estimated to be 950: pounds per acre, the same as pro-! i duced last year. The ten-year yield] of 1.174 pounds is 19 per cent more j • than this year’s, while the currently- j | j estimated production is 5 per cent: below the ten-year (1935-44) average! production.
