CAROLINA KKIUAV, SEPTEMBER 11, 1942 (Eight Pages) NCMBER 31 WELCOME TO LOUISBURG! TOBACCO MARKET OPENING ' MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1942 : L TOBACCO ARRIVES THURSDAY ? ''-W FOR OPENING SALE MONDAY First Saje Will Be at Union, Second at Southside With Planters Having First Tuesday ? Everything In Readiness ? Can Sell Only 360 Piles an Hour With a 5-Hour Sales Day Load after load of tobacco from the 1942 crop begun to roll into Louisburg early yesterday morning, making , ready for the Opening Sale on Monday. R. M. Johnson, of near Pine Ridge, delivered the first load at the Union Warehouse, which has first sale Mon day. Phelps and Dennis delivered the first load to the Southside' which has second sale Monday, and J. R. Rich, of Castalia, delivered the first load to the Planters which has first sale Tuesday. The sales system is different this year from last as this year each Warehouse will have a half day sale, or two and one-half hours, which means that one house will sell in the morning and another sell in the after noon. . . There can be only five sale hours a day. The only time this will vary is when one or more houses do not have enough tobacco to hold the sale two and one-half hours selling 360 piles an hour. In this case the sales will continue for the five hours and can result in all three houses having a sale the same day. Arrangements have been made to handle an extra large quantity of tobacco on the Louisburg Market this year and many are expecting the largest year yet. All warehouses are ready and a full corps of buyers are ex pected to be present at the opening. The entire population is enthusiastic over the open ing of the market and are cooperating in extending every courtesy and advantage possible to all who visit the market throughout the season.

September War Bond Quotas (or the 3,070 counties in the nation were announced today by Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secre tary of the Treasury, to make up the national Sep tember total of $775,000,000. ? The September quota for the State of North Caro lina is $9,750,000. In fixing the county quotas, the Treasury has con tinued its announced policy of setting the monthly luotas in line with the seasonal distribution of in come with the billion-dollar monthly national av ente as the annual goal. * The national quota (or May, when the nation went on the biluon-a-month annual basis, was $600, 000,000. For June the quota was 3300.000,000 and for July it jumped to $1,000,000,000. The August quota was $815,000,000, so to maintain the billion-djllar annual monthly average, the quotas for the Fall and Winter months must necessarily be stepped up considerably to reach the objective set.

Sept. 7. ? Presl lent Roosevelt tonight sought upport of the nation in his truggle with Congress over an t-Inflation curbs soon after he iari handed the legislators an ul iniatuin that he would proceed ly executive decree If, liy October . they have not armed him with fgislative power to check the ising cost of living. Placing the facts before the x-nple in his Tfst radio fireside hat since April. Mr. Roosevelt <aid that unless Congress gives liiin authority to tlx all farm prices and votes drastically higb~ br taxes immediately, "it may well be- too late" to ward off run away inflation. He had told the legislators In a strongly-worded special habor Day message that that would not lie allowed to happen: that If Congress falls to ai t bv the Octo ber I deadline. "I shall, accept the responsibility, and I will act." At the same time, he promised Congress that if he is given con trol over farm prices he will reg ulate wages immediately. "This I will do." he pledged. Hn? Authority Mr. Koonevell already has auth ority. under hie broad wartime powers, to freeie wages. He has the same power with relation to (arm prices, but In this case he must more in the face of legal barriers posed In the price con trol law. Thus, through his radio speech and in his message, the President placed squarely upon Congress re sponsibility (or the current eco nomic crisis. He (ocused the attention of the nation upon (allure o( the legis lators to act upon the only two points of his seven-point Inflation program submitted to them last April which required legislation ? higher taxes and (arm price controls. The Congressional (arm bloc success(ully has fought Imposition o( (arm price ceilings below 110 per cent o( parity. The House passed and the Senate finance committee Is considering a tax bill which would yield far less than the minimum held necessary by the Treasury to finance the war effort and to combat inflation. Solemnly warning the people the country is faced with un bridled inflation ? the same warn ing he gave in even blunter terms to Congress ? Mr. Roosevelt said: "Let us meet It and remove it." Cannot B<* Hrtd Quotes from his fireside chat were lifted bodily from his Con gressional message In both docu ments he said frankly that the actual cost of food and clothing cannot be held to approximately the present levels beyond the October 1 deadline without new restraints. He stressed that prices and wages are inextricably tied to gether; that It Is impossible to stabilize wages while prices rise, ind said the only solution is [>ver-all stabilization of prices, salaries. wages and profits. That is Impossible, he declared, so long as the legislative barrier ?>n farm prices remains in effect. It would be unfair, he added, to stabilize wages and do nothing ibout the cost of food ? a cost which he traced directly to a "favored class," the farmer. He said wages in certain key Industries have been stabilized on the basts of the ^present cost of living ? a basis which be strongly emphasized has been Imperilled by Inability of the administration to fix farm prices. "It is obvious, however, that if the cost ot food continues to go up, as it is doing at present, the ^age earner, particularly in the lower bracket*, will have a right I London, Sept. 9. ? Sudden ra dio shutdowns tonight in Berlin, Palis, Budapest and old Czecho slovakia Indicated that Allied bombers ^vere ranging over great areas of German-occupied Europe from both British and Russian Hjrdromes. The evidence ot air raids was most positive in Budapest, where the announcer in his last words before going off the air told an ale'rt. Next heard from the Budapest transmitter were air raid pre cautions orders in code. The German-controlled Czech stations which closed down are at Prague and Bratislava. The Deutschlansender cut off In the midst of broadcasts for German home consumption at 7r3t> p. Tn., snfl Budapest went j silent soon thereafter except for code messages telling what to do | in an air raid. Bratislava and Prague went | out about the same time as Bud lapest. Other continental stations also were reported off the air. It Is the second attack of the war on the Hungarian capital. Russian bombers raided Budapest last Friday night and left fires raging in the city. Washington, Sept. 9. ? Ameri can air forces, turning once more , to the offensive In the Solomon IsUTnds, bombed and strafed Ja panese shore installations on Gizo Island. 215 miles northwest <>f the United States base on Guadalcanal, the Navy announced tonight. The operation was carried out last Sunday without any resist ance from the enemy and appar jently marked the start of a whole new phase of offensive ac tivity in the conquest of the Sol omons. Ever since the Solomons invasion started August 7. It has been expected that consolidation of American positions in the southeastern section of the is lands would he followed by at tacks on Japanese positions to the northwest. The Navy communique disclos ing the aerial assault on Qizo said that the process of mopping up enemy units In Guadalcanal was continuing. Marines were re ported seeking out and attacking Japanese detachments which fled to the jungles when the initial American landing was made and which may have been reinforced since by small numbers of troop* sent In by the Japanese from 1 time to time "under cover of | darkness." Moscow. Thursday. Sept. 10. ? Massed German tanks and infan I try smashing in a frontal assault toward the western gates of Stal ingrad forced the Red Array to j JTlve up two more populated plac es in the third Russian retreat la las many days, an official an nouncement said early today. German troops also "broke In to the northwestern outskirts" of ' Novorossisk. Soviet Black Sea naval base in the Caucasus which the Germans claimed capturlnc Sunday despite "tremendous Iom ' es in men and material," the i communique acknowledged. While the light for Stalingrad roared on. the Soviet Bureau of Information, in a summary of the summer fighting, said 73 enemy divisions, including 54 German, were routed by the Soviets be tween May 1 and August 81.
