C. ?? m mm BaMMaal Imm* "" mmm THE WEEK IN WASHINGTON > Rnumt of Gortrnnitnt Hap Mningi in the National Caoilal Despite the fact that recom mendations of the veteran presi dential adviser Bernard Baruch were received just abrut as cold ly as was President Truman's state of the union message by the majority in this Congress, the elder statesman's far-reaching and sweeping program for do mestic security and economic re habilitation abroad are admit i tedly sound according to private opinions in both the Republican and Democratic ranks. It appears as though the GOP leadership in the Congress will give the Baruch suggestions the silent treatment and do nothing about any of them. This was to be expected, since the multi millionaire financier would go much further and adopt more drastic methods to insure a sound economy here at home than was ever proposed by President Truman. In the meantime the index of prices continues to rise and not even the first semblance of a measure to combat the inflation has seen the light of day in the Congress. The GOP policy and steering committee seem com mitted to go ahead with a tax reduction which would lop off over five billion of government revenue and at the same time Congressman Knutson is propos ing to slash the President's budget some three billion dollars. This is only about half of what Mr. Knutson pledged himself to slash from last year's budget . . . six billion was the figure then, and he did not come even close to it. The prediction here is that the final outlay of congressional expenditures will come close to the President's 39 V4 billion dol lar figure. President William Green's pro posal that his American Federa tion of Labor is willing to agree with management on a 45 hour instead of a 40-hour week with overtime is seen as a bid on the) part of labor to carry out at least a segment of the Baruch proposal to increase production, and the ? word from Europe that the 16 western nations are preparing to form a union of these countries for economic security and to fight the spread of communism b taken here as a boost toward final passage of the. Marshall plan. This, it will be remembered, was also one of the Baruch pro posals . . . that the countries of Europe, as many as are willing "band themselves together into a political economic and defense union under the United Nations'' which would include the lowering of trade barriers among them. Although it is taken as a mat ter of course, President Truman has thus far refrained from de claring his candidacy for the Democratic nomination. In a ban tering press conference recently, the President again refused to commit himself but said un doubtedly there would be some announcement before the Demo cratic national convention opens in Philadelphia July 12. In what is regarded as an 1 answer to th?! statement of ex | President Hoover against over export of American goods which would weaken the American eco nomy, Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson told a House foreign affairs committee that the amount of food earmarked for western Europe under the Euro pean Recovery plan would not place any extra strain on either supplies or prices in this country. "The fact to keep in mind," Secretary Anderson said, "Is that the total food exports which we are recommending from this country, not only for western Europe, but for the entire world, are less than we have been ex porting in the last two years. Inj (he items which are in tight sup ply, such as grain, fats and oil, this reduction is particularly significant."

Ploeser (R., Mo.) is chairman, John H. Davis, executive director of the National Council of Farm Co operatives wrote a letter to the House Administration Committee protesting such action. Wrote Mr. Davis, "we protest any further financing of the House Small Business Committee unless its work can be made con structive in the interest of small business, rather than an attempt to persecute bona fide coopera tives owned and controlled by farmers. We are informed that the House Small Business com mittee is seriously considering the holding of further hearings to investigate farmer cooperatives. We never opposed fair hearings on the subject of the cooperatives. However we do not see the need now of additional hearings in view of the intensive and ex haustive hearings that have been held by the House ways and means committee during the past year and by the house small business committee in 1945 and also in 1947."

This 24th day of January, 1948. FRED M QRAGG Clerk Superior Court 1-29-4C Accepts Post With S. C. Tobacco Farm John S. Wi lkins of Jefferson, agronomy specialist for the State College extension service, has re signed this position to accept the post of field representative for the Southeastern Aromatics To bacco Company Of Spartanburg, S. C? Director I. O. Schaub, an nounced this week. Mr. Wilkins has been employed by the extension service since his graduation from State Col lege in 1930, Director Schau? said. He was appointed assistant county agent in Catawba county .immediately after his graduation, a position which he held until: 1935. He resigned as assistant' agent to accept an appointment; as county agent in Cleveland county. Following ten years of! service in Cleveland county, he; was appointed to a position as; extension agronomy specialist,! and has remained in this work since that time. A native of Alamance county, Mr. Wilkins has made his head quarters in Jefferson for the past two years, working mostly with the burley and Turkish to bacco growers. In his new posi tion he will continue his work with Turkish tobacco growers in North Carolina and also those in South Carolina and Virginia. Since powers in western North Carolina proved last year that Turkish tobacco can be profitably produced in that section of the state, it is hoped that production in 1948 will be at least three times greater than last year's production. This will be one of the objectives of Mr. Wilkirj work, and growers this year will produce the tobacco under con tract and will be paid on the quality of th^ir tobacco. Between 75 and 90 million pounds of Turkish tobacco are used in this country annually, and so far only a small amount of it is being produced here. WOMAN KILLED BY SAW Craigsville, Va. ? While help ing her husband operate a wood saw, Mrs. Venie Katherine Camp bell, 35, fell face forward into the blade of the saw and was in istantly killed. The United States cotton crop is now estimated at 11,505,000 pales which compares with 8,640, 000 bales in 1946. In selecting a permanent site for the tobacco bed, deep loamy soils that warm up quickly are most desirable. HOME JEWELRY STORE EXPERT WATCH REPAIRING Gifts ? Diamonds ?
