Naming of Davis, forOier head of Triple A, and pres- ’ently President of the Federal Re serve Bank of St. Louis, to re place USDA Secretary Claude R. Wickard in the hottest spot on the national farm scene, caught all but a few insiders unprepared. f e appointment, which was ait by this column a week caused some uncertainty among those on the agricultural! task without the necessary author ity to carry it out. Unless Davis has an off-the-record understand ing with the |White House which can be made to stick, opinion is that he will encounter the same difficulties of insufficient or con flicting authority which trapped Wickard and have bogged dowh so many phases of the war program. It is understood that when Da vis was asked by representatives of the President to take the job he came back with four specific demands: 1. Full control over all agricul tural prices. 2. Fu'l control over all agricul tural production and distribution. 3. Full control over all agricul- WcAk, NM’Tcnte, .. lifr. ^nqtsfty. Gam-Wii, Stkvngtli. front.

Pis- g.-h is enjoying a very good atten dance since the weather has clear ed up. Mrs. Hobart McCarter had as dinner guests Sunday her father, Mr. N. W. Coleman, Mr. Houston Coleman, of Greensboro, Mr. and Mrs. Fonse Johnson and Son, Mr. and Mrs. ' Edgar Lunsford and family, Mr. and Mrs. Zeb Nichel- Bon and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Coleman. Visitors in the after noon were Mrs. Bertha McCarter and son, Kenneth, Mr. S. 6. Pre- vette and Mr. Isreal Gregory. Uncle W. H. (Billie) McCarter has had on attack of flu^and is in feeble health. The farmers of this community are anxious to see spring come. There has been some garden work done. Some farmers are about through sowing lespedeza. Rev, J. M.

They document their assertions with careful figures. New Committee Chosen "A unique action was the label applied to the old 18 man Labor- Management Committee’s tender ing its resignation to Manpower Boss McNutt and its recommen dation that a new committee be set up that would directly repre sent agriculture, industry and la bor. It also suggested that( the new members be chosen by each group and not partly appointed by the Administration as was the case in the old committee. Farm ers have been fighting for this approach for more than a year. As a result, agriculture, indus- tiy and labor now have equal rep resentation on a nine-man body. James Patton, Albert Goss and Edward A. O’Neal are the admit tedly Qiftstanding leaders holding down the farmers’ side of the ta ble. Incidentally, McNutt points out that every recommendation made to him by the old committee was followed. Asramlng tlmt tUs continues to be the practice, much of the solution of the pressing manpower problem of» the nation will rest upon the decisions made by these nine men.

Draft Ordered Stoppfxl When the Governor of Colorado issued a flat order to .stop the drafting of essential farm labor in his State, regardless of what ed icts may emanate from Washing ton, it became clear that the Bankhead blanket farm deferment bill has grass root support. There is little doubt of its passage by the House within a few days. ’The .'Senate whipped it through by an overwhelming majority last week. Ano’ther attempt may be made to amend the measure so that, in stead of freezing farm labor on the job, it would contain a modi fied versipn of the unit, deferment mechanism created by Selective Service last winter to implement ■tne 'Tyding’s Amendment to the Selective Service Act. « Much bally-hoo has been flut tering into print about the in crease in living costs that would result from final enactment into law of these various^ bills. Hard- headed farm economists say that most of this is “scare .talk”. They refer especially to a House speech by Representative Dirksen (Dm. 111.) and Price Caar, -PrartiBs-M.
