FAOB THRBB Capital News Letter By TOHMI‘flON GRKKNWOOD POTATOKS—TliouHanda of bushels of Irish potatoes llo, rotting in the woods in Pasqiiotniik and surround- tiig comities, and the growers were paid for llieso potatoes at a rate of aliout $1.50 ptr hundred pounds. Duo to the shortage of cars and strikes in distilling pianls, which took the majority of Covt>rnmont purchases of thl.s joar’s early eominorclal pota to crop, they could not he dollvorod. Rut they weri' bought, because in the early days of the war Congress .pass ed a Uiw guaranteeing tho farmer 90 jier cent of parity on various crops. The Stegall amendment Is what kept potato prodneu's from losing their pants thi.s year. Now, wlili all the millions of peo ple .starving in lOnrope, why weren't those potatoe.s fed to Europeans, rather than to be permitted to rot? Tills is the I’lasoii: moat of llfeso potatoes, harvested near the middle of the .season, could iiardly withstand a trip to New York, let alone to Eu rope, and then to nil parts of Europe. Tho Govoriimtnt In June of 194.5 tried, as an experiment, to transport some of these lilghly perishable spuds to 'nolgum. Carried to Norfolk, they wore loaded on a boat. IJcforo tills vessel could oven got its sailing orders, port aulhoritlos ordered the stinking ship to mo'Vc out to sea, fearing that ilto gas and alcohol eaiiscd by the decaying potatoes would load to a fire. The potatoes were carried out and dumped Into the ocean. But still wo talk of send ing tlKin to Europe. It’s unfortunate —'biu it Just couldn’t be done . . . at least not with that type of potato. * « « MONSTERS—-Arc there monsters on N. C. College campus this sum mer? Well, so they say.

Flet cher and the Raleigh Nows and Ob server arc having it out in 'Wash ington before tho 'Federal Communi cations Commission. 'Fletcher, ibro- llier of Col. A. I.i. Fletcher, who re cently 'Vacated tho chairmanship of the Unemploymont Compensation, Is a pistol. Meaning by that, he owns money-coining WRAL (260 watts) in Raleigh: his son, Floyd, has recently hegiin a radio station in Durham; A. J. has S( cured pormlsslon for a fre- (luoiicy modulation station ('WOOY) In Raleigh; ho owns about 10 'Ral eigh buslnosses, all making money; and he made $27,000' last year prac ticing law . . . and ho supported Dr. •Ralph McDonald for Governor in lOi’fi and ill 1944; and ho has in a reuiie.st for anotlur radio station in Charlotte. Now In tills other corner, we have the N&O, about which you all know, which wants a radio station In RiU- elgli on the same wave length which Flctclior Is sC' khig for the 'Greens boro station. It was brought out In Washington tlmt the N&O cleared, from 1942 through 1945, $7'95,38'8.- 85. For tho four war years, that wasii’l liad. Of cotirs^, this was be fore taxes had been deducted . . .and iniicii of 111, credit must go to tho astute management of 'Frank Dan iels, who some .say is the smartest of tho lot. • * ♦ FOUR 'ri.'VIES—Josephus Daniels,, Sr,, appeared with Frank, Josephus, Jr., and Jonathan at the FCC hear ing, and evai the opposition’ admits ihat li(' made a grand witness. The mo.st Iniorcsiliig portion of his lestl- mony concerned Raleigh’s other newsiiaper, the Raleigh Times, own ed i)y .lohn Park. He .said that he had been approached to buy tho Times on three or four occasions and had de- clliK'd to purchase that paper be cause ho did not think it was proper for the morning newspaper also to own and operate the evening news- |)apor in the .same city. 'Fletcher is contesting the N&O’s right to radio by pointing out that Daniels’ paper already saturates the lorritory from Raleigh oast and a radio .station on top of this would be just too much saturation for one family. And that’s the news on this up to this momoiit. * * 1. FACTORIES VS TOBACCO—At least two estahlishments in the Wllson- Grciiville area have ceased operation within tho ipast two weeks—due to tho fact that all their employees are working in tobacco. Of course, after the tobacco season is over they will resume work. Tliose are the facts ou what to bacco wor’' 'VS in that section are re ceiving officials. Information is .".vailablo to back It up If you want U: Tobacco prlmors are receiving from $10 to $15 per day; some are receiv ing $55 per week with two meals per day funiishod, and in some of the loss populated aroa.s tho primers are re ceiving from $6 to $10 per day. Tho woman hands around tho to bacco banns are receiving '$6 iper day. The methods of work differ from farmer to farmer concerning tho “day,” however, some working from 7 AM to C PM and others considering ll a “day’’ when a barn of tobacco Is "put in." Some of the firms that have 'been Inspoctod say that cannot compote with those farm wages, and as a re sult lose tholr oinployoos, Aleo, no social security or withholding taxes must 1)0 paid by tho farm employers; On the other hand, tobacco had ibet- tcr slay up around 40. cents a pound this fall—that’s wlint the exports are expecting ...

Most of Tom's old friends. Potent. Lynch, and others, have passed' on,' but he still keeps a young man's inter^t in the school. Since Tom,, Jr., was learning his sports slants while Carl Snawely was Iiavlng his first chance at Caro lina, maybe ho can give ’Peahead Walker some down-under informa tion. He’ll probably need it. * I* « SEMINARY—There^ is a move underfoot now to persuade the South ern Baptist Convention to buy the Wake Forest College (for about >$2,- 000,000) and convert it into a Bap tist Seminary. This money and another $2,000,000' In contributions would build the new plant at Win ston-Salem. Moving of the college bad not been established at the time this was written, but should be by the time you read this. U.
