The plan will, be submitted to eligible voters as an al ternative to the present acreage control program. The Farm Bureau I?ader said, "The most pressing problem plaguing the- Industry Is an Ex cess of tobacco, which has swol len the Inventory of Flue-Cured Tobacco Cooperative Stabiliza tion Corporation t? almost one billion pounds." Cupton strongly emphasized the importance of growers ob taining a thorough understand ing of the issues and the effect of the referendum on the future of the tobacco program. He added, /".'J am confident that If people have a thorough understanding of the Issues at stake in this referendum, the decision of the people will be the best direction for the to bacco program to go In the fu ture years." Governor Dan Moore has said, "I have faith in the tobacco farmers of North Carolina.* Given all the. facts about the acreage-poundage program, they will make the right decis ion." He added, "This new law will not satisfy all the to bacco Interests. It will not solve all the problems of the Industry. But, It is a good law, and It Is an alternative to losing the entire tobacco program." > *?, me governor enaea nis siaie ment by saying, "I am con vinced that the place to start- - and the only place to start- - is by giving an overwhelming approval of this acreage poundage program in the ref erendum-." t Senator B. Everett Jordan stated, "I doubt that we will be able to get such a bill to the President's desk again, so I appeal to farmers to take ad vantage of this opportunity to get their house In order." Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., added his- endorsement by re marking, "I urge growers of flu'e-cured tobacco to vpte in favor of the new program at the forthcoming referendum." There has been some objec tion to the bill because of the lateness of the referendum. Many had already made plans to Operate this year on the present acreage control plan approved last year. There arp some growers who are op posing the plan for reasons oth er than the lateness. Strong opposition has been reported from other tobacco states. Other leaders endorsing the n*w plan include Representative Ralph Scott, Alton Lennon and James Broyhlll. Scott said, See MEETING Page 6 Allen Dale Tour Scheduled Allen Dale, owned by Mrs. J.
