LEGISLATORS OF TWO STATES TALK POLL TAX ATLANTA, Jan. 26. —(£>)— The fate of the poll tax is up for deci sion in the legislatures of two of the eight poll tax states—Georgia and Tennessee. The Georgia senate voted 31-19 to repeal the levy as a voting prere quisite, and the measure now goes to the house, which only a few days ago killed a bill to exempt war veterans from the $1 a year tax. Hanging over the Georgia law makers is a threat, made in a bristling speech Tuesday, by 37 year-old Governor Ellis Arnall to suspend the tax by executive order unless the lawmakers repeal it. In Tennessee, the 1943 legislature repealed the poll tax only to have the repealer invalidated by a three two Supreme court decision. In the Georgia debate, the name of former Vice President Henrj Wallace, close personal friend ol Gov. Arnall, was brought up re peatedly, anti-repealists saying th< legislation stemmed from Wallace'! Democratic convention address Iasi year at Chicago in which he saic the poll tax must go in the south The other poll tax states are Ala bama, Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas'and Virginia.

I think we should start the gas right away before they have a chance to, anc not just kill a few, but eliminate the entire race—every man, wom an and child on the islands.” Superlatives Named At Piedmont High In selecting the superlatives oi the senior class of the Piedmont high school Miss Vivian Eakei and Harvey Bowen were voted the best all-around students of the class.

KENDALL-STANGLEE DRUG CO Weather Causes Freight ‘Freeze’ WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. —(A5)— A “freeze” for which the weather actually is responsible will immo bilize all freight shipments, except war goods, throughout a large area of the eastern United States for the next three days. The Association of American Railroads, acting at the direction of the Office of Defense Transpor tation, announced that for a period running from 12:01 a.m., Saturday to 12:01 a.m. Tuesday it will put an embargo on all freight except war freights consigned to, through or within the area east and south of the great lakes. Food shipments are included in the ban unless under government directed or consigned shipments. BLIZZARDS “Continued blizzards and excep tionally heavy snowfall” have in terfered with the operation of the rail carriers so seriously that the embargo is necessary to keep war goods moving toward seaports, the association said last night. By stopping all other freight shipments into and through the stormbound area, the association said, it is expected that congestion can be cleared up by Monday night and normal traffic resumed. In addition to providing for sea port-bound freight, the embargo is intended to expedite the1 flow of material to Army and Navy ord nance plants or other installations designated by the two services. The embargo does not cover ex press or mail. FARM ERSYOOK OUT FOR BUGS, WORMS IN 1945 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 26. — (/P) —Farmers: Look out for bugs, worms and other pests this year.

The entomologists, mapping plans for extermination, expressed hope of obtaining sufficient insec ticides this year for controlling the pests. E. W. Laak, chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quaran tine at Dallas, gave this picture: North Carolina’s troubles are with the corn earworm. South Carolina is combatting cattle lice. In 1944, these are some of the things chat happened: In Texas alone the cattle grub ruined enough cattle to furnish a day’s supply of meat for 1,679,000 soldiers and provide shoe leather for a million marching troops. The boll weevil destroyed 960,000 bales of cotton during the year. Capt. David S.

DAVE OBRIEN JIM NEWILL “Outlaw Round-Up” IT’S ANOTHER NEW WESTERN • FRIDAY and SATURDAY , TWO gWELL k PICTURES! thrill-splashed action-dra ma of Western badlands I NELSON Starts On Pape One production rates will be felt within the next few weeks on the fight ing fronts of China, x x x DOUBLE “By spring of 1945, I expect the rate of China's total war produc tion should be at least double the November rate.” He saw improved economic con ditions leading to higher morale among the Chinese people, and the strengthening of moderate elements in the government. This, Nelson said, should expand chances of genuine cooperation between the1 national government and the com munists. If the American government and business channels provide postwar aid, Nelson asserted, “China should soon after the war begin to replace Japan as the leading industrial nation of the Orient.” In that event, he added, “a market of enormous size should progressively open up for American export industry.” His report carried an apparent intimation that he may make oth er trips to China. It said his main effort there “to date” had been concentrated on measures of im mediate benefit to the war effort and postwar questions had been put aside by mutual agreement with Chinese leaders. IMPROVEMENTS Nelson mentioned the appoint ment of Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wede meyer to command of the China theater and Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley to be ambassador to China. These, he said, with the dispatch of an American war production mission to China, laid the ground work for these significant meas ures: Active steps to check the Japan ese advance. Establishment of a Chinese WPB. Coordination of China's econo mic war activities. A start by six American experts towards solving technical produc tion problems. The financing of war production requirements. Allocation of additional transpor tation facilities to China. Shifts in the Chinese cabinet to strengthen the war effort. Moves to bolster civilian morale. Portions of Nelson’s report with held today will be released, the White House said, when the mili tary situation permits. U.
