Famed Circus Town On Move (Again) NeU't'eaturni AP NewM'eatures GAINESVILLE. Tex There are uiimislakeable signs ,4' Spring all over America today. The violet, the crocus and ' the bluebird herald the approach of the season in the poet's language. But citizens of Sarasota, Fla. Louisville, Ky.. and Gainesville! Texas, have more lusty and ob vious harbingers in the raucous notes of the calliope, the clippity clop of horses' hoofs pounding tlie tanbark, and the notes of the blacksmith's anvil resounding from circus quarters Spring is the circus season and already several of the 30-odd caravans of gaily painted trucks and wagons which haul the equip ment to convert vacant lots into great tented cities have started their annual tours which will touch the largest of cities and the smallest of villages from coast to coast, and entertain millions of per sons, young and old, in the way only the circus can. Unique among these amusement enterprises is the Gainesville Com munity Circus, now in its 18th sea son. Its personnel is composed en tirely of citizens of the Texas town its title bears. The principal bareback rider is a truck driver for a dry cleaning plant, the death-defying girl on the loop-the-loop trapeze is a high school junior, and the funny clown with the bulbous red nose is her mat hematics teacher. In Gainesville, as in no other city or town in these United States, circus acts are taught in school physical education classes .and aerial and acrobatic devices replace the conventional parallel bars and volley ball nets. Opening of the circus season in r 7 ; TRAP-EASY ON EVES is this local aerialist Gainesville has become such an event that national figures, includ ing Elliott Roosevelt and U. S. Senator Tom Connally have been on hand to act as honorary ring masters. They ride prancing horses at the head of the parade and tolow shrill blasts on gold whistles to inaugurate the first performance. There is a homecoming celebra tion, too, for thousands of ex G iinesvilleites, who like to come 'jack home to see what their former neighbors are doing. They will see a stilt-walking clown who drove a truck in Belgium during the battle of the bulge; a slack wire artist, who entertained his buddies in the air corps in England between raids over the continent, using impro vised props; and a horse trainer who conceived new ideas for his act during the long months he was isolated on Attu with the Seances. In addition to the home town celebration, the circus has been scheduled to do a modest bit of touring over the Southwest, spon sored by charitable organizations to provide funds for their philan thropies. One requirement of the Gaines ville circus is that a member be a bona fide resident of the town of 12,000 population, without any pre vious circus experience. The other is that a performer receive no fi nancial remuneration for his serv ices. The plaudits of half a million persons who have seen the show, and comments such as that of Billy Rose: 'it is the most delightful thing I've ever seen." are sufficient recompense for the home-town troupers, they avow. Tobacco Program Pays For Itself, Says Rep. Kerr WASHINGTON (AP) Dele gations from tobacco raising states asked a house agriculture appropri ation committee last week to allow 'sufficient funds" to continue cur rent tobacco programs. Rep. Cooley (D.. N.C.) told a re porter that "the committee did not indicate whether it will approve or disapprove such funds, but I feel encouraged that adequate funds will be provided." Rep. Kerr (D., N.C.) a member of the committee said he believes money will be provided to continue tobacco programs. He addod that "the government has always made money on the tobacco program. It never has lost any money because penalties collected from over-growing quotas, for instance, amount to more than the program costs." SCOH'S SCRAP BOOK By R. J. SCOTT. US1IA'S DOC . A.

How ever, he has been assured that the layoffs in the mills are largely "third shift" discharges . . . that is, those who work the "graveyard" shift from 11 to 7, or along there. Raleigh hears that these reduc tions in personnel have occurred because markets are becoming flooded with high-priced materials. As soon as these move the mills will begin full blast again, but on commodities of better value. The public has slowed down on purchases of products which are so high. They are not moving off the shelves. This has naturally slowed down orders to the mills, hence the layoffs. SCHOOL - BUSTERS Now be gins the season of "school-busting", as State officials are wont to refer to them. You might call them com-mence-ments. Most of the State office-holders are signed up right on through May. Dr. Clyde Erwin, superintendent of schools, can tell you in a minute the dates of most of the closing of the schools and probably so can Gov. Cherry, just by glancing over invitations to speak. Even though he is not an official, J. M. Broughton has a stack of these invitations in his files knee high. Under the circumstances, you may be sure he is filling as many of them as possible. A tip: The three best speakers in the State are I. G. Greer of Thom asville, Broughton, and Dr. Hubert Poteat of Wake Forest. .SCRAPS", GROUND SQUIRRELS IN ytLLOYSfoNE PARK SPEND ovtR.

It is great boon to government workers, coming here from all over the country. All winter the barge is kept at the District of Columbia docks in the Anaeostia river and brought up around the first of May. The season begins on June 19. The barge is the property of the National Capital Parks. This is the third barge and was built in 1938 by WPA workers. It is in pretty bad shape . . . keeps sinking an inch or two. Engineers have to keep pumps in the bottom. The first barge was an old mud scow used for dredging in the Potomac. The second barge was the first barge "revived." There was a lot of comment, fa vorable and otherwise, last year when th e Symphony association decided to make the barge setting "more decorative and gay," as a parks official put it. Up until then the barge shell was merely painted blue, and the only "prop" was the American flag. "We put in a sort of symbolic background with painted red col umns and so on to make it look more like a stage than a hole in the wall," said the official. There are tentative plans for building a new barge. The National Capital Parks has acquired a hull from the War Department's surplus property list and it has been brought here from St. Eustis, Va., where it saw service all during the war. It is metal and (he experts say it "ought to last for the next 50 years if it's handled right." No Threat Is Seen In Japanese Mills TOKYO lAP) Allied head quarters officials commented here that plans for increasing the num ber of operable spindles in Japan's cotton industry presents "no im mediate danger of any large-scale infringement upon interests of other textile areas." Chinese and American sources have been represented as feeling the plan to increase the number of spindles to 4,000,000 from slight ly more than 2,000.000 would drive other cotton-producing nations out of the world market. Officials explained the increase was necessary to meet internal Japanese demand, provide ex change for needed imports and help meet world demand for textiles. HONEST DINER WILMINGTON (API The in truder who broke into a Wilming ton diner left this note: "1 hadn't eaten for quite a while and I had to eat something. I'll leave my coat in payment. I ate two pieces of ham, hot dogs, and a bottle of soft drink and some milk, and took three packs of cigarettes." He left his coat.

She religiously avoids parties, and almost never attends the am arty night clubs and too-too Park Ave nue drink-aljs. Backstage at the A Win Theater, where her "Joan of Lorraine" is Hearing the end of its run, the crew apparently admires the Scandinavi an hermit to a man. The assistant managers, .electricians, stagehands and doorman say she's a nice gal, although a bit aloof. On matinee days Ingrid is so reticient about braving Broadway for the dinner hour that she almost always sends out for paper cups of coffee and sandwiches to sustain her until after the evening per formance. The manager of the the ater felt so badly about the beau tiful star's having to bear up in face of such difficult gustatorial custom that he went out and bought her a coffee pot and a little electric stove on which to brew her matinee-day java. The thrifty Ingrid thanked him profusely, took the present home and kept right on sending out for the paper cups of coffee and the drugstore sandwiches. Some writing fellows have taken exception to Ingrid's apparent in ability to find time to be inter viewed, some of them have mut tered no little about it, but most just say that if she wants to be alone, Garbo style, that it's okay with them. Except that she attracts atten tion wherever she goes shopping or dining, Miss Bergman seems NoC Ends Feud With Comedians HOLLYWOOD (AP)-r-The four day skirmish between the National Broadcasting company and its ra dio comics was over Thursday with the comedians planning an unop posed field day of jibes at the net-i work. The controversy started Sunday night when Fred Allen was cut off the' air briefly during a wisecrack about a mythical network vice president in charge of overtime, who gets a vacation by accumulat ing' seconds from the ends of over time broadcasts. Bob Hope and Red Skelton were next. Now all three are "honorary vice presidents of NBC." Gen. Eisenhower Will Address N. C. Farmers WASHINGTON General Dwight D. Eisenhower, making his first appearance on a public plat form in North Carolina, will ad dress the August 28 evening as sembly of Tar Heel farmers attend, ing the state farm and home week at North Carolina State college. The army chief of staff and war time commander of allied forces in Europe accepted an invitation, tendered by Senator Clyde R. Hoey, to deliver one of the principal speeches to state farm bureau federation members and other farmers during the week. Senator Hoey indicated Gen. Eisenhower will speak in State college's Rid dick stadium. able to enjoy a more nearly nor mal existence than any of her sis ters of the current acting profes sion.

The agency started a campaign in February to induce 10,000,0000 veterans to reinstate before Aug. 1, their lapsed policies worth $100, 000,000,000. Policies may be reinstated up to Aug. 1 without physical examina tions. Veterans have been reinstat ing policies since Feb. 3 at the rate of 36,500 a week.' Philadelphia Is Out For Democrats, Too PHILADELPHIA (AP; Phil adelphia business leaders, granted the job of host for the 1948 Repub lican Convention, have made plans to try to bring the '48 Democratic conclave here as well. Arthur W. Binns, President of the Convention and Visitors' Bu reau of the Chamber of Commerce, said: "We are determined that the next President of the United States be he Republican or Democrat, will be nominated in Philadelphia. We are going to raise $200,000 and give it to the Democrats, along with a $50,000 entertainment fund." It was such an offer that won G. O. P. support for the Philadel phia site.
