WALLACE TOBACCO MART OPENS TODAY 250,000 Pounds Of Weed On Warehouse Floors On Opening Eve By JOHN SIKES WALLACE, Aug. 24. — The to bacco farmers in the Wallace area are coming to market early. ‘On the eve of the opening of the 1947 tobacco selling season here tomorrow there are around 250, OOO pounds of tobacco on the floors of New Duplin Warehouse No. 1 and Hussey’s No. 2. (That’s guesstimatingly speaking, of cfturse.) These two v'arehouses have first sales on opening day — first sales in that both houses will have sales. .The chant of the auctioneer will be heard hereabouts fo. the first tfme this season at the New Dup lijn warehouse, operated by A. H. Carter, A. E. Rackley, and John Chesnutt. When, under government regulations, the prescribed number of piles of tobacco — 800 some odd — have been sold there the buyers will move on over to Hus ky's No. 2. •Blanchard and Farrior’s, the other warehouse firm here, will begin receiving tobacco in the morning — Monday — for its firet sale Tuesday. .Tobacco began streaming into ferwn in large lots Saturday and pl'ospects are that a full and good *ale will come off tomorrow. Ware housemen were careful to point out, however, that they could prob ably handle some additional weed for tomorrow’s sale provided, of course, it gets to the floors early chough. [On this first sale eve there is nothing to dampen the hopes here abouts that the 1947 season will be Wallace’s best. Because tobacco Curing in this section, like every where else, has been somewhat delayed this year many of the to baccomen had expressed doubt there’d be great offerings the first few days of the season. Indica tions now are, though, that the market will start right off in pret ty full bloom. | [With two new houses and a third Whose space has been practically doubled since last season, the Warehousemen are in the best shape to care for large offerings they’ve ever been. And warehouse men say the crop is better tijan it has been around here in the past six years. The around a quarter of a mil lion pounds that is now on the floor appears to be fairly good quality and, with what is placed on the floor between this and sale tSpie tomorrow morning, the pros pects are for a bright opening day itrie.

McKENNY America’s Card Authority Written for NEA Service Wheather to play a contract at no trump or a suit is a matter of far more importance in tourna ment bridge than in rubber bridge. In rubber bridge you choose what you consider the safest contract, and you are not greatly interested in whether you make 100 or 120 points. But in tournament bridge, if you can make four hearts or four no trump, you had better play it at no trump because it counts ten points more. As a result the average player in tournaments tries to play too many hands at no trump, especially when the correct contract is a minor suit. For some reasons, the inexper ienced tournament player seems to think that if he can make five clubs or five diamonds, he certainly can make three or four no trump. At no trump, declarer at best can take only eight tricks with today's hand and he may take less if a heart is not opened. Nice play will produce game in club. South’s bid of one no trump was rather odd. He could have rebid clubs if for no other reasons than to tell his partner that he was not on a short club suit. However, he preferred to show more strength and to tell North that he thought he had the heart suit stopped. With his singleton heart, North was correct in showing support in clubs. When South went to four clubs, right out of the three no trump zone, North was entitled to stretch his hand a little with the five club bid. When the opening heart lead held, West shifted to the four of clubs. Dummy’s jack won, a small spade was led and East was forced to go in with the king. Now East could lead a heart, hoping to make Declarer won with the ace. cahed my before the spade suit was established; or he could lead a diamond. With four trumps in dummy, the heart lead looked hopeless, so East led a diamond. Declarerwon with the ace, cashed the queen of trumps and ruffed a heart in dummy. The losing heart was discarded on the ace of spades, and when the spade suit broke, South discarded his two losing diamonds on the nine and eight of spades.

Carlos Mancheno, with the support of the army and police force, seized control of the goverment from President Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra last night in a bloodlese and almost noiseless revolution. Tonight, Velasco Ibarra was re ported packing for a journey into exile. It would be his second, be cause he was the victim of a coup d’etat on August 20, 1935, and had to leave the country. He returned from that first exile in June, 1944, after another revolt, and once EDISON’S WIDOW (Continned From Page One) Chautauqua program and in 1922 was named a trustee of the insti tute, the fourth woman to achieve that distinction. Edison died in 1931 and in 1932 she turned her efforts to educa tion for temperance, expressing the views that prohibition had been less successful than the cam paign of education under way when the 18th amendment was adopted. In her Edison Centennial article Mrs. Edison wrote that the inven tor never gave a thought to wheth er his work would bring him fame. After the inventor’s death, Mrs. Edison renewed a lifetime friend ship with Edward E. Hughes, Franklin, Pa., lawyer and steel manufacturer. They were married in 1935 and Hughes died five years later. Later the inventor’s widow drop ped the name “Hughes.” LABOR UNIONS (Continued From Page One) will stand for peace and the United Nations; labor’s rights and civil liberties; for equality for all with out discrimination; for security against the hazards of old age, s i c k n e s s and unemployment, against monopoly of our country and against ‘boom or bust’ poli tics,'1 a statement of purpose de clared. A two-day legislative conference, attended by 1,214 accredited dele gates, preceded the launching of the new party. The third party and conference meetings were held separately so that only those de siring a third party now might be put in a position to vote on it. Dr. Francis E. Townsend, pen sion leader, who headed a delega tion of 371 to the legislative con ference, approved the third party plan.

A few shots were fired into the air by troops here to break up a crowd that gathered around the presidential palace when the news spread that Velasco Ibarra and Mancheno were conferring on “urgent affairs.” The upshot of the conference was that Velasco Ibarra resigned and turned the government over to Mancheno. who is now presi dent.
