Plan To Improve
Tobacco Average
Three Point Program In
cluding Referendum and
Enactment of AAA
Amendments
Washington, July 31. ? After a
five-hour conference with AAA
officials here today, a delegation
of grower representatives from all
states in the flue-cured belt voted
unanimously for a three-point
program designed to Increase t'he
present low tobacco prices at 1
which the Georgia markets have
opened.
The proposed program revolves
around immediate enactment of
the four amendments to the to
bacco title of t'he AAA act now i
pending in the Senate. A confer
ence between growers and buyers
to arrange for the withdrawal of ;
part of the 1939 crop from the j
market as a price stabilization
measure, and an early referendum
on a marketing quota program for j
1940 flue-cured production were
approved. i
Thirteen grower representatives ?
from North Carolina, South Caro- |
lina, Virginia, Georgia aud Flori- j
da attended the meetings. The
Tar Heels present were G. T. i
Scott, Selma, J. E. Winslow,
Greenville, Claude T. Hall, Woods
dale, and E. F. Arnold, Raleigh.
Hall presided at the meeting. i
The AAA tobacco amendments -
now are on the Senate calendar -
and may be considered tomorrow, i
according to Majority Leader
Barkley. They already have pass
ed the House. One of the amend
ments will permit an immediate 1
referendum.
The amendments call for a sub- ;
stitutlon of acreage tor poundage 1
base In making individual produc
tion alotiments; substitution of a
flat ten cents a pound penalty for
over-quota production of flue-cur- '
ed leaf for the recent payments 1
based on grades; permitting the
Secretary of Agriculture to call
for a marketing referendum as
soon as it is apparent the crop '
will be sufficiently above the 1
year's needs; and permitting the
small grower to increase his allot- .
ment by 20 per cent in cases
where his normal production |
would be less than 3,200 pounds.

Bombs Used
In Strike
Cleveland. ? A club-wielrttng,
brick-tossing and tear gas bomb
ing rioti at the strikebound Fisher
Body plant of General Motors
Corp. Monday injured 34 persona,
none seriously.
A crowd of CIO United Automo
bile Workers, estimated by police
at 5,000 to 6,000, massed at the
gates to "stop the plant."
Police Capt. Michael J. Black
well said fight-lUg started after a
brick was thrown through the
window' of an automobile carrying
several non-strikers into the plant.
At least 300 tear gas shells and
bombs were thrown in the rioting
that ensued. Blackwell said.
Implied With Shells
From a third floor window of
the sprawling factory a policeman
mounted a long-range tear gas
gun which spat gas shells 300
yards into the crowd of demon
strators.
Blackwell said that strikers re-*
plied with tear gas shells and gre
nades.
Twelve persons were arrested
and released later on waivers,
rhree admitted operating a sound
truck without permits, and nine
admitted creating a disturbance.
A short time later a truce was
effected by Police Chief George J.
Matowiti.
Company officials said the plant
was operating, as it has been
throughout the strike, called three
weeks ago by skilled tool and die
workers to press demands for a
supplemental agreement.
Made No Estimate
The company said 463 persons,1
including office employees, enter
ed the plant Monday. About 700
normally are employed at this sea
son. Union representatives made1
no estimate on the number who
entered the plant.
"Police were ordered not to fire [
any bullets unless the strikers
stormed t'he plant," Capt. Black
well said.
Two fire department pumpers
played streams of water into the
shouting crowd, dispelling demon
strators.
Officials of White Motor Co..
three miles away and not affected j
by the stirike, closed their plant
Monday because only 400 of a
regular work force of 1.200 re
ported for duty. Many of the

CITY DWELLERS LIKE
TO KIBITZ AT WORLD'S
FAIR FARM EXHIBIT
New York. ? When it comes to
farming. New York City has 7,
000.000 kibitzers.
All day long the visitors file
through tha Electric Farm Group
Exhibit at the New York World's
Pair. Country visitors nod appro
val at the highly efficient, electri
fied farm set up and look with con
siderable envy at< the labor savins
conveniences.
City visitors do a lot of back
seat driving, such m telling the
mau who has been milking cows
for twenty-two years that he's not
doing the job correctly.
And, of course, everyone wants
to know what> happens to the eggs
laid by the several hundred blood
ed hens in the electric poultry
house. The answer to that ques
tion is that they are cooked in the
demonstration kitchen and fed to
the girls who do the cooking and
to the farm hands around the
place.
On the other hand the milk
from the cows in the exhibit can
not he consumed on the Fair
grounds, t'he reason being that it
is not pasteurized.
