Cotton | growers in 19 southern and southwestern states appeared to day to have approved federal control over the production and marketing of cotton for the sixth consecutive year. Incomplete but fairly conclus ive returns from an Agriculture department referendum showed 642,234 farmers favoring federal control and 103,186 against, with a majority of the returna tabu It- ted. Specifically, the growers were nrked whether they favored mar keting uofas on the 1943 cotton crop. Approval by at least two thirds of those voting was re quired. Raleigh, Dec. 14. ?

D. C., while receiving his basic train ing to become an Assistant Field Director. The instructions which he is getting will equip him to act as a Personnel Worker at some Ar my or Navy Post either in the United States or on foreign ser vice. under the command of the Army or Navy officials. Prepara tion which led to his acceptance by the Ited Cross Included his work as counselor at boys camps, both Scout camps and at Camp Sequoyah for Boys for several summers, as well as that which lie did for Freshmen at the Uni versity of North Carolina and at Duke University during the years which he spent at those institu tions. It was at Camp Kllodes ka. near Wilmington, that lie ronhis Eagle Scout badge. Since the Red Cross will not accept for the position of Field Dlrec toi a clergyman, he waived "his ordination at the recent Confer ence of the Methodist Church. Mis poor vision kept hnn from becoming a Chaplain in the Navy, and his lack of the necessary th ree years as a minister re quired by the Army precluded his service as an Army Chaplain. The Red Cross servlceSvas the area jyhlch seemed best for him' to enter. o ENTERTAINS CLUB Mrs. William Wilson was hos tess to her bridge club and a few extra guests Monday evenlug r.t 8:00 o'clock.

THANKS. ? C WAR NEWS London. Dec. 16. ? British ad vance columns have (ought an important action with the Mar shal Rommel's Axis rearguard in desert wastes "somewhere west of El Agheila" and taken a num ber o ( prisoners, reports from Cairo said tonight while a rising Allied air attack buat ot tho Axis in both Libya and Tunisia. Berlin bore out the report that an engagement had taken place when the official German news agency DNB broadcast, obviously for foreign consumption, that the British Eighth Army lost 20 tanks in a fight lasting several hours. Disordered Retreat Neither the Berlin nor the Cai ro report gave any hint of Rom mel's position except that ? the British indicated he was continu ing his flight. British reports said the Allied air fofrce ceaselessly supporting the ground troops of Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery was con stantly attacking the retreating Axis soldiers. For the first time there were suggestions of disorder in Field Marshal Rommel's flight. Road blocks created by Allied airmen (?Hacking at night persisted for hours and presented to shuttling daylight attackers the mushroom ed targets of tanks and trucks and men caught in traffic Jams or huddled in gullies. , The best information indicated that advance British forces had reached a point 100 mildb beyond El Agheila, the starting point of the current Axis retreat. The British command In Cairo, admitting' that its forward forces still were "greatly impeded by mines" left by the Nazis, announ ced that the pursuit had gone forward "well west of El Agile ly." Its report, -and those from all other sources, indicated that Al lied airmen were causing tremen dous damage among Rommel'* columns and that yesterday. In particular, saw the most powerful bombing assaults yet delivered upon the enemy. Douglas Bostons, Martin Bal timores and North American Bil ly Mit< hells operated substantial ly In a shuttle serrtre agirtnat what the bulletin from headquar ters called "a great column of (German) traffic moving west ward." Washington. Dec. 16. ? Lack of enemy opposition as American bombers hit hard at Buln. a big Japanese base In the South Pa elflc. prompted speculation today a? to where enemy airpower was at the time and whether the Jap anese might be concentrating their forces for a renewed big scale drive. One conjecture was that the Jhpanese planes brfsed at Buln ? oi. the southeastern tip of Bou gainsvllle Island 275 miles north west of Guadalcanal ? might have, been on a mission of their own, oi conserving planes for a major i attack. There was no Indication in official communiques of any mission the enemy might hare fcten engaged In. In New lx>cation I * It appeared probable that the i nemy had moved both air and ses power to a new location In preparation for a concentrated Vrlve, possibly another large scale assault on American-held bases In the Solomons. One thing was agreed upon by observers here ? the lack of op position to raids on Buln and Munda on New Georgia Island could not be considered as an in dication of withdrawal of Japa nese forces, unless it was a withdrawal to what the enemy might consider better b^sea.
