APPEAL IS MADE TO WEED FARMERS Farm Bureau Head Urges Growers To Take Ad vantage Of Loans Special to the Star WHITEVILLE, Aug. 26 — An urgent appeal to tobacco farmers of Columbus county to take full advantage of government loans through the Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stablbfation Corpora tion, was made today by B. H. Small, president of the Columbus County Farm Bureau. Small said that many farmers are now selling their tobacco be low the 40-cent per pound average guaranteed support price which is made on a pro-rated grade test basis. This is in keeping with th*. governments commitment to sup port tobacco prices at 90 per cent of parity as of June 15 preceeding market openings. The tobacco grower, the actual owner of the tobacco, is the only person who can authorize tobacco to be turned over to the Stabliza tion Corporation for loan purposes. Small quoted from a statement by Carl T. Hicks, president of the corporation, in appealing t0 Tar Heel farmers 'to get a fair and stable price for this year’s crop. “Many farmers do not remain with their tobacco until sale is complet ed. Warehousemen will cooperate by setting the time of sale to en able the farmer to be present. He can then arrange for his tobacco to be placed under loan if the price falls below the support level.” To eliminate confusion on the warehouse floor, farmers may Join Stablizatiori* Corporation prior to taking tobacco to market. Mem berships may be obtained at the local tobacco warehouse or the Stablization Corporation office, in Raleigh.

The management of the Hotel Pennsylvania, where the Ameri can Legion has its headquarters, is one of the cynical ones. Although the four-day convention doesn’t start officially until Thursday, the Pennsylvania lobby is already bare. All lamps, chairs and sofas are in storage. But at the Lexington Hotel where about 800 Legionnaires are ic be guests the manager summed up his plans for the invasion in one word—“Nothing.” He said he thought the fear of horseplay “rather mythical” and believed the destructive element among the Legionnaires would be small. After all,” he said, they are all human beings.” Manager J. T. Harper at the Hotel Edison was unconcerned, but not so trusting. He said he was moving the furniture out of 1he lobby to make room for bands that may come in and parade around. ‘‘Nothing spectacular,” he add ed. “Just the same thing we do on New Year’s eve.” The Pennsylvania and the Hotel New Yorker got together on the pillow and telephone book situa tion and worked it out like this: Since the Legion’s parades don’t pass the Pennsylvania, the latter will leave the pillows and phone books in the rooms. But the 40 and Eight parade does pass the New Yorker, so during certain hours there will be no pillows or telephone books in the rooms. Any one who wants to throw confetti will have to smuggle it in. Gideon Bibles, however, will stay in all rooms at both hotels— Life Size Baby Doll 17406 g This real-looking baby doll will go right to a little mother’s heart!

Although it will house the Fourty-and-Eighters, its management maintained a bus iness-as-usual attitude, even when a colleague pointed out: “That outfit is supposed to be hell on wheels.” John L. Horgan, general mana ger of the Lincoln Hotel, is another do-nothing’er. He gave two rea sons. One—He was a hotel man when the Legion took over the city in 1537 and at his hotel “they didn’t even upset a salt cellar.” Two—“I notice that in 90 per cent of our 1,500 reservations the gentlemen have their wives with them.” DUTCH WARSHIPS SHELL INDONESIANS United Nation’s Efforts To Stop Fighting Without Effect, Both Agree BATAVIA. Java, Aug. 26. — (U.R) — Dutch headquarters reported today that two Dutch warships had shelled Indonesian positions in the Sumatra area because Indo nesian artillery had fired upon the ships. High officials on both sides said nothing the United Nations securi ty council had done so far could stop the fighting. The Dutch ap plauded the French veto of a pro posal for an 11-nation commission to check compliance with cease fire orders, while the Indonesians said the veto was a “pity.” The Indonesian republic’s army said it had recaptured Wednit, five miles northeast of Malang, in the east Java sector. The Dutch took Wednit on August 21. The In donesians said nothing about Ten garen and Ampel, against which they had reported strong Dutch attacks. The Dutch communique said the Netherlands’ warship Tidore shell ed Mendol Island, about j miles southwest of Singapore, on Sun day. damaging a number of build ings. It said the Indonesians brought on the fire by “fiercely shelling” the Tidore and wounding one Dutch sailor. un me same aay, anoxner pa trol ship was shelled “in the vi cinity of the east coast of Su matra” and “this firing also was answered.” The size of the Tidore and the other ship was not dis closed. When the Dutch issued their cease fire order on August 4. they announced that patrols in republican waters would continue. The Dutch said they had begun a “clearing action” four or five miles west of Salatiga, 26 miles northeast of Jogjakarta, the re publican capital, against Indones ion troops who had tried to push forward throughout the area. The Indonesians were pushed back, the Dutch said, and suffered “se vere losses.” The Dutch “continued probing” Indonesian lines on the Salatiga sector yesterday, the republican communique said. xue ijuiui acuu tiicj three casualties yesterday — one killed and two wounded. Neutral officials suggested that cease-fire teios, such as the Unit ed States sent out in China, might make the UN’s new cease fire or der effective. "For the moment,” one official said, “it remains difficult to see what would be the physical effect of supervision of the cease fire orders by the consuls in Batavia.” (The Security Council, offering its "good offices” in the dispute, officially recognized a Netherlands invitation to the American, Bel gium, British, Chinese and French consuls to check up on how the council’s cease fire order of Au gust 1 was being obeyed. Both sides issued a cease fire order on August 4.) The Dutch said they would be quite satisfied with mediation, but warned: "Any proposals of the security council are doomed to failure if the republic continues its operations behind our lines and doesn’t halt Its propaganda tactics over radio Jogjakarta.” High republican circles describ ed the security council’s action as a "weak compromise” and said arbitration with the power of decision remains the only way to ?rinf. ak°ut «■ solution of this ques tion. * Obituaries MRS.

Townsend, pastor of the Hayes-Barton Baptist church here, was reported tonight to continue in a critical condition at Rex hos pital. Dr. Townsend suffered a broken back and ribs and injury to his spinal cord, when he fell from a pear tree in the yard of his home yesterday morning. The attending physician, Dr. E. H. Herring, said tonight that par tial paralysis from the chest down has set in as a result of the spinal cord injury, but that there was no facial paralysis. He said that, while Dr. Townsend’s condi tion had not improved, he was “comfortable.” The severity of the injury will | depend on how badly his spinal j cord has been damaged, Dr. Her- j ring explained. He added that it would take several days to deter- ■ mine whether the cord is broken, j He emphasized that no visitors j will be permitted. “AMERICAN” Floor Sanding and Finishing MACHINES “BINKS” Paint Spraying EQUIPMENT GREGG BROS. 110 Market St. Dial M65 STATE FACED WITH SMALL CORN CROP RALEIGH, Aug. 26. — (JP)— Fac ed with the smallest U. S. corn crop since 1936, North Carolina’s 20,000 commercial dairymen may be forced to stand idly by this fall and winter as resulting de creases in milk production affect the price of milk. That was the outlook observed today by J. A. Arey in charge of dairying for the N. C. State Col lege extension service. He said this scarcity of com and its in fluence on feed prices, coupled with extremely high labor costs, will cut the flow of bulk milk to major outlets at a time of year when local production is “already too low to meet the demand.” Few North Carolina dairy farm ers grow enough grain feed for their own requirements, Arey said. Thus a corn crop nearly one-fourth short of ldst year's production will strike this 65-million-dollar-a-year industry a serious blow, he said. As a measure to offset this grain shortage, Arey urges that a large crop of temporary grazing be seed ed early this fall. LUMPKIN LEADING MISSISSIPPI RACE Piles Up Commanding Lead In Run-Off For Lieut. Governor JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 26. — iTPi— Sam E. Lumpkin of Tupelo, top man in the first primary for Democratic nomination as Lieu tenant Governor of Mississippi, piled up a commanding lead today in a peculiar run-off against the man who ran fifth and last in the previous voting. Returns from 719 out of the state’s 1,714 precincts gave Lump kin 82.915 votes to 18,468 for the Rev. Charles G. Hamilton, Epis copal Minister of Aberdeen. Lumpkin, former Speaker of the State House of Representatives, polled 157,827 votes in the August 5 primary while Hamilton got only 19,842. Today’s odd run-off came about because the candidates who ran second, third and fourth of August 5 withdrew from competition rath er than force a second primary in view of Lumpkin’s large vote. Under Mississippi law, the priv ilege of entering a second primary then descended to Hamilton, who declared he would oppose Lump kin again “if none else will.” PRESIDENT JIMENEZ PROBES AMMUNITION FOUND IN PANAMA BALBOA, C. Z„ Aug. 26. — (JP) — President Enrique Adolfo Jime nez said tonight his government was investigating the transfer of ammunition in Panama and dis closed that 3.000 dundum bullets had been found on lonely Paitilla beach near Panama City. The government learned, Jime nez said, that large quantities of ammunition were being taken into the interior of Panama. Police now were stopping and searching all automobiles traveling in the in terior, he added. The packaged ammunition found on the beach was of German manufacture and not of the type used by the United States Army, which has extensive facilities in Panama, the president said. Barboursvnle, W. Va., is of his- j toric interest as the scene of a conflict in the U. S. Civil war, July, 1861, which ended in a Fed eral victory. Barboursville became a town in 1813, and was incorpo ated in 1867. 15 Street BANK ROBBER Bill RIDE WITH POLIQ ‘as.t1!'
