Grades Are One To Five Cents Higher As Auction Sales Started On Southern Markets Valdosta, Gjl, July 24.—The first few million pounds of the country's current tobacco crop went on sale Tuesday in 19 Georgia and Florida towns, with the majority of grades averaging from one to five cents a pound higher than on the opening day a year ago. The bulk of sales ranged from 39 to 43 cents a pound, with a practical top of 46 cents, the marketing service of the United States Department of Agriculture reported. The estimated general averages on several markets ranged from 88 to 42 cents a pound. Last year the first day average was $39.95 a hundred. The ceiling over Georgia - Florida bright leaf cigarette tobacco this ear is forty cents, a cent per pound higher than Last year. But ceilings apply only to the seasonal average that a particular buyer pays for the tobacco. Tobacco is sold untied in the Georgia-Florida belt, first in the country to begin auction sales. In the Carolines areas, which open . later, the tobacco is sold tied and graded and the ceiling is $44.50 a hundred. Demand was strong and sales were fairly heavy, with warehouses reporting good tonnage on hand. • A top of 46 cents a pound was reached at Adel, with most of the leaf going for 40 and above. The marketing service said growers appeared satisfied with opening prices and no rejections of bids were noted. Help Scarce - J Warehousemen were troubled by a shortage of workers to handle sales and processing. Fanners who normally work in warehouses after completing preparation of their tobacco remained on the farm this year for the most part, due to delay in curing the crop. Excessive rain in the past few weeks caused delay in many cases. Growers predicted the selling season would run a full month this year, instead of the customary three weeks. Despite extremes of weather during the growing season, quality of the leaf seemed little affected. Prices Continue Stpng Growers sold 8, 157, 174 pounds of tobacco on the 19 Georgia anld Florida markets opening day Tuesday for an average of $41.22Recording to the report of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. . /<j Prices continued strong in the belt Thursday, with the majority of the grades showing price increases ranging from $1 to $5 a hundred above opening day last season. Common to fair leaf was up $1 to $2 and low to fine lugs from $1 to $3. Some nondescript showed increases up to $5. The bulk of sales ranged from $39.00 to *43:00-a hundred. A report from the Douglas market states that prices slightly higher than opening day, when two warehouses sold 614,000 pounds at averages of NO SUBSTITUTE New York.—A large Majority oi the public is convinced that there fa "no adequate substitute" for nawapapers, Pact Finding Aaaociates hare reported after two croas section surveys taken during the recent 17-day strike of newspaper dalles uraien The surveys, made from July 3-6 and July 11-12, wen undertaken at the request of tike Bureau of Advertising' of the American Newspaper Publishers Association.

Treaty Aspect Is Discussed In Debate Over Charter Strong Group Holds Assigning United States Troops Requires TwoThirds Vote. Washington, July 26. — Powerful rapport developed in the Senaf^today for the argument that United Nations pacts assigning American troops to keep the peace will be treaties subject to two-thirds approval of the Senate. Another group of Senators, fearing that this might spell defeat of the pacta to be eotaaltted longTtf&r the I basic United Nations Charter is ratified, hotly argued that the docuaaeat* will be agreements requiring only majority approval by the Senate and the Honee. Senator Wheeler (D-Mcmt) * critic of the United Nations Charter, took the position yesterday that the later pacts wll be treaies. Braatsr Connelly (D-Ter.), one of tike isswmoel supporters of the charter, said today that in his view, they will be treatise. The wim position was.taken by £4bstor White (R-Maine) and Senator Taft (K-Ohio). Tfie question of these pacta, which will daterittiwfi hew many American troopa will be assigned to the peacekeeping role and where they will serve, came up during debate an the basic charter. fri inn • Liiiii ^iiup ■ ' Snowed Under m MWnW^VtHKI «U I ft.htai n ..if JBuuSIl SBUN » 3N» $© Qam Victory - A 3 Tf , ; 3RWF ..:3SBB$8 • ..HI I Jirilft* Mat; Cbnent Attlee WfH Be *N~ew Prime toqigbt commissioned CI—it R, dtttlee *> Am a. new labor Govern ' London, July 28—Winston Churchill resigned tonight as prime minister, in the wake of * voting tabulation which showed the strongly socialistic Labor Rarty bad won a 2 to 1 landslide onr Charchill's Conservatives in the July S election.

Charles Blount Quinerly, PHM 2/c, Now FaaiI *ni nvW fvoU kUU Gas Book Will r Appear mf)ec. Baleigh, July 24. — War Hatioi Book Five, "smaller than a dollaj bill" and containing' just half m many stamps aa the last book issued will t>e distributed through the public schools in December, Theodore S Johnson, Ralfigh OPA district director announced today. The new "JL" gasoline ration book will be issued at the same "time, he said. Distribution, Johnson said, will take place from December 3 through December 16. The new "A" gasoline books wT! go into use December 22, and war ration book five will be used soon after the first of thfe year for .food rationing and for rationing -of shoes. The new book five wfllhe a better book, Johnson said It will be easier to carry and handle. It will be just as long aa book four hut only half as wide. The number and arrangement of stamps is more convenient The new stamps will be the same sise, but will not have both a letter and a number as the present stamps do and OPA hopes the new edition will be the last of the series of wartime ration books, Johnson said. One hundred and fifty million copies of book five are now baing printed at approximately half the cost of the preceding book, Johnson said The gigantic task of distribution is one that the teachers and school officials are fully equal to, he said, recalling the efficient way in which .they handled the distribution of war ration book four. At the current rate of making stamps good, Johnson explained—five red stamps and five blue stamps at the beginning of each month—war ration' book five can last, if needed, about fifteen months. Because of the enormous job required to print and distribute ration hooks for about 130 million people it was decided to be on the safe side and provide for this period and avoid the expense of having , to get out still another book later. Since war ration book five will go into effect before January 1st, it will be necessary to use other stamps in book four as substitutes for processed food and meat fate daring the interim period. Interim period use of shoe and sugar stamps will not be necessary, Johnson said, since the stamps provide for these items in book three and four will carry the programs without resort to substitutions. ' , War Ration Book Five will be the fourth war ration book to be distributed by school teachers and other volunteers, Johnson said. The first book was distributed Hay 4, 1942. The New "A" Book , The new "A" gasoline book, the third issued under rationing, will differ from the present book only in color. The book will contain five sets of coupons, six coupons to a set numbered-A-18 through A-23. Each set of coupons will cover a different period The first set, numbered A-18, becomes good December 22, Johnson said SOFT BALL NEWS LOCAL ALL-STARS DEFEAT GREENVILLE LIONS CLUB The All-Stare, composed of membora from the four Sunday School League teams, gave the visiting Lionsj Club, of Greenville, a very decisive and thorough drubbing Wednesday afternoon at the local park, by the score of IS to 6. The winners out-hit their opponents 2 to/1, getting a total of 16 while allowing only 8. Several errors were committed by both teams and the visiting pitcher gave up several free passes. The defensive stars were Kobgood for the All-Stars, even though he made 2 errors, and Hodges for the Liana Club. Fluff Monk led in the hitting department for the locals with 3 aafties, including a triple, double and a single. None of the visitors got more than one hit, and only worked Allen for one walk. There was a fair crowd in* attendance which included several from Greenville. A return game will be played soon in Greenville, probably at night, and the members of both teams are looking forward to it.| The line ups: . Greenville—Pos. Fannville — Po. Warren Is Silent | On Future Phns Comity Of Dare Wodd Have U. S. Comptroller General Run For Governor in 1948 Kill Devil Hill, July 24. — Deeply tuned and refreshed, looking better than anybody hereabouts remembers seeing him since he was a slender yeung Congressman 21 yean ago, Comptroller General Lindsay A Warren left for Washington Monday morning after a two-week stay here, dividing his time between fishing and fraternizing, "but with more emphasis on the latter. Here with Warren were Mrs. Warren and their son. Charles, who will enter the Army the last of this week. Also guests of Mr. and Mrs. Warren were Mrs. 0. Max Gardner, wife of the forma- Governor; Mrs. Walter F. George, wife of the senior senator from Georgia, and Dr. Fred Morrison, member of the law firm of Gardner, Morrison and Townsend, with Mrs. Morrison and their small daughter. When he gets back to Washington, Warren will have this to think about —Dare County has virtuafly launched him into the gubernatorial campaign in 1948 and assured him that it it Just doesn't interfere with the county's plans there will not even be a campaign. It is the belief, that "if Lindsay will just say he'll take it nobody else would think of running against him." Warren never has made any secret of the fact that he would like to be governor—but he is not saying that he is going to be a candidate for the job in 1948 or in any other year. Nor did he say that he wouldn't be a candidate. He was ruddy with pleasure whenever anybody mentioned it at Manteo—and that kept him pretty constantly ruddy.
