Informed souces said Uruguay would undoubtedly be included in any such action taken by the “ABC powers.” The possibility of Latin Amer ica’s three major powers unit ing against Communism has been widely discussed since June, when Argentine President Juan D. Peron, Brazilian Presi dent Eurico Gaspar Dutra and Chilean President Gabriel Gon zalez Videla met in a series of conferences. The announcement last week that a nine-nation “information bureau” — generally regarded as a new Communist interna tional—had been formed in Eu rope intensified belief that South America would consolidate its anti-communist efforts.

S American Resolution Plac ing Greek Guerrilla Blame Eased LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 11. — Gfi-The United Nations Political committee tonight approved a French - British compromise in the Balkans case which toned down a United States resolution accusing Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria of helping Greek guerrillas. The vote on the French-Brit ish proposal which merely “takes account” of the report of a security council investigating commission was 32 to seven. There were 13 abstentions with six nations of the 57-member committee absent. This portion of the French British amendment represented a conciliatory move to tone down an original American res olution which placed blame on the three Balkan nations for assisting Greek guerrillas. A second laragraph in the amendment rading “calls upon Albania, Bulgaria and Yugosla via to do nothing which could furnish aid and assistance to the said guerrillas” passed by a vote of 34 to seven with 11 ab stentions. The Russian group was against both actions. QUITS ASSEMBLY NEW YORK, Oct. 11. — UP)— Paul Henri Spaak, prime mini ster of Belgium and head of his country’s delegation to the U.N.

It would be sticking more closely to my trade - and tbe facts—to say I found figures to prove, beyond a pera Ivonturc of a doubt to coin a fres i original explicating phrase, that Wal [ face, during the past week, broke more records in the Flue Cured Tobacco Belts than the Yankees and Bums did m the National and American Belts whose campaigns culminated in the World Series. First of all, the Wallace Mar ket set the highest price aver age for a full day’s sales on any flue-cured market anywhere this season. This was last Mon day when, officially, the market sold 322,816 pounds of tobacco for an average of $52.47 per hundred. On this top take the farmers divided $169,384.34. I say this set a record.

The promise was made in a statement issued here. It noted that the special four power Aus trian treaty commission, which has been in session in Vienna since May 12 and has held 85 meetings, completed its work there today with little progress made toward agreement on out standing issues. The four pow ers are the U. S., Russia, Brit ain and France. The foremost of the issues is the question of German assets in Austria. Roughly, Russia wants to define German assets in such a broad way as to al low extensive property seiures by the allied powers whereas the United States wants a lim ited definition which would nar row allied property deiures considerably in Austria. Big Four differences over the Austrian treaty were hardened in the foreign ministers meet ing at Moscow last spring. “The United States regrets the undue delay in reaching agreement on the outstanding points of difference in the Aus trian treaty,” the State Depart ment statement said.

MAY LOSE ONE CONGRESSMAN Population Changes Throughout Nation Said Reason WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—(A>)— The Tar Heel state, thought it gained 146,000 in population since 1940 to an estimated 3, 718.000, may lose one of its 12 house members after the 1950 census. This possible loss in Congres sional representation by North Carolina was raised by the House Committee on Post Office and Civil service which recently surveyed the population shifts of World War 11 with an eye to their effect on Congress. It found North Carolina, bar ring a sudden rise in the birth rate or influx of migrants, one of 10 states likely to drop one one or more memberships in the lower house. The other losers: New York 3; Pennsylvania 2; Aransas,Il linois, Tennessee, Missouri, New Jersey, Kentucky, Olahoma, one each. On the basis of the present survey South Carolina’s House membership of six would re main unchanged although that state gained only 18,000 to 1, 918.000, or an increase of one per cent compared to North Carolina’s four per cent. New York, New Jersey and some others, like North Caro lina, gained in population since 1940. It is possible they may lose representatives, however, because they have a smaller proportion of the total national population than in 1940 — other states have gained more.
