Wallace, citing the next 18 months as the critical period, appealed to the nation’s farmers tonight to “back up the OPA to the limit for one more year.” “If we can get through 1946 and the first half of 1947 without in flation,” Wallace declared in a talk prepared for the National Farm in stitute, “we ought to be safe for a while.” The secretary added the nation must support the full employment act at all levels, including “much oetter coordination of governmental policies and programs” or it will be only “a scrap of paper in the pages of the very books of history that write the record of our next depression.” Describing Chester Bowles, new economic stabilization director, as the “most dramatic figure in Wash ington^ today, Wallace declared: “The special interest groups and ;he speculative wolves are hot on Chester Bowles’ trail. He needs lelp. Otherwise we shall go :hrough the disaster of 1919 and 1921 all over again.” “The danger of 1946 repeating 1919 is so great,” the secretary con ;inued, all producers’ roups should sack the former OPA boss’ anti inflation program.

New Hanover Tops State In Number Of New Farms (Continued from Page One) crease in Pender during the same period was 5.2 per cent. Bladen county, ranking 39th among the states in the percent age increase of farms, had 3,511 larms in 1945, an increase of 214 farms; Columbus county in 1945 had 5,776 farms, an increase in five years of 350 farms. The aver age size of Bladen county farms increased by 1.7 per cent, while in Columbus the average acreage of the farms dropped 4.4 per cent. Brunswick Increases Brunswick county farms increas ed by 5.6 per cent in the five year period during which 96 farms were added to bring the total num ber to 1,817, and Duplin’s farms increased by 294 farms to make a total for the county of 5,679 farms. Acreage of Brunswick county farms increased by 3.1 per cent and Duplin’s farms in creased by 2.8 per cent. Onslow county was the only Southeastern North Carolina coun ty to lose farms during the period. Onslow had 26 less farms in 1945 than it had in 1940. Total number of farms in the county in 1945 was 2,161. And the average size of farms in the county also decreased by 8.9 per cent. Largest number of farms in any single county was in Nash, which had 5,948 farms in 1945, and Wake county followed closely behind with 5,943 farms. North Carolina as a whole re flected an increase of 4.6 per cent in the number of farms in the state, while in the United States as a whole the number decreased by 1.4 per cent. The state averages in the matter of increase in farm acreage was also at variance with figures for the entire country. In North Carolina, farm acreage in creased by seven tenths of one per cent, and in the United States the increase in acreage was 7.7 per cent. Most of the North Carolina coun ties which had an increase in farms also had a decrease in the size of those farms. For the state as a whole the average size of the farm decreased from 67.7 acres in 1940 to 65.1 acres in 1945. North Carolina farms in 1945 were 2.3 acres smaller in 1945 than they were in 1940, but farms in the United States on the average were 16 acres larger than in 1940. REDS OVERRULE U. S. PROPOSAL IN LEVANT ROW (Continued from Page One) a major issue when the United Na tions organization charter was set up in San Franicsco, meeting bit ter opposition from some of the smaller nations. New Charge While the day long dispute went on before the council, Russia brought in a new charge that Polish troops in Italy under British com mand were a possible threat to Yugoslavia. Vishinsky, saying he was acting on behalf of the Yugoslav govern ment, field a memorandum with United Nations Secretary-General Trygve Lie which declared the Polish troops were “a possible threat to the peace, calm and order” on the Yugoslav-Italian frontier. The memorandum asserted the Polish troops of Gen. Wladyslaw Anders were “aggressive and os tensibly threatening.” Neither Russia nor Yugosl&via asked for council action, but merely that members be familiarized with contents of the memorandum. The Polish government in a note handed to the British yesterday de manded that the British demobilize the 107,000 Polish troops in Italy and send them back to Poland. The British said negotiations were under way for return to Polish troops both in England and Italy to their homeland. The memorandum charged the Anders Army had been moving closer to the Yugoslav frontier, and was recruiting Yugoslavs “quisl ings” under the slogan “fight against communism in Yugos lavia.” British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin denied the Polish forces were drawn up against any line in north ern Italy, saying they were just dotted about. Vice Foreign Minister Zygmunt Modzelewski of Poland said he did not personally plan to press for United Nations action on the mat ter, but that his government might insist. There were indications, mean while, that a trend was developing in the council to permit Great Britain and France to negotiate directly for withdrawal of their troops from Syria and Lebanon. > ,ONG CONFERENCE HELD IN DETROIT (Continued from Page One) ng to Dewey, agreed to attend Sunday’s parley, set for 2 p. m. 2 ST. On Tuesday the National Labor Relations Board will resume its rearing into union charges that the lorporation has refused to bargain n good faith. Optimism Heightened The length of today’s negotia ;ions—the first conducted on a Sat urday—heightened optimism that the long and costly strike would be settled over the week-end. Dewey reported “considerable progress” was made during the talks, which continued until after 7 p. m. During a noon recess, Dewey said the morning session was devoted to a general discussion of the is sues involved in the strike that has idled 175,000 GM production work ers since Nov. 21. Dewey asked both sides to review their positions while at lunch. The UAW was reported ready to accept GM’s offer of an 18 1-2 cents (16.5 per cent) per hour wage in crease against the union’s demand for 19 1-2 cents (17.5 per cent) as recommended by President Tru man’s fact-finding board. In return for this concession, the union was believed to be seeking full restora tion of the 1945 contract cancelled by GM on Dec. 10. Top union officials continued to deny, however, that the UAW has receded from its 19 1-2 cents de mand. When the union rejected GM’s 18 1-2 cents offer last Tues day the UAW negotiators abruptly walked out of a conference. Vice President Walter Reuther said then the union would not come back un til GM was ready to meet the top figure. When the negotiators filed out of the smoke-filled conference room in the GM office building for lunch today, the general reaction to what had transpired during the morning was that “we just talked.” The UAW president did not share the optimism of some of the lead eds. “There are too many issues to be worked out.” Thomas told report ers. “There is a lot of work ahead of us.” He said he referred specifi cally to the numerous non-wage issues. Mediator Dewey began his ef forts to end the costly and bi'ter strike on Jan. 29 at the request of the Labor department. On subse quent weekends he adjourned the sessions to make hurried trips to Washington to report on pro gress.
