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repealed the poll tax only to have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.
BUCK DEMANDS
DRASTIC ACTION
AGAINST JAPS
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Jan. 26.
—(A*)—Enslavement of the people
of China by the Japanese “would
mean the death knell of the white
race,” Frank Buck, adventurer and
author, said here in an interview.
Buck suggested use of poison gas
—“before they have a chance to"
—to annihilate the Japanese.
“We are too soft, too humane Tc
handle the Japs,” Buck said, “We
would come to think of them as
the poor, downtrodden Japanese
instead of as the frightful savages
we are fighting now. x x x
“I believe in humanitarianisrr
but I believe in being humanitari
an to our own race. 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.”

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.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 26. — (/P)
—Farmers: Look out for bugs,
worms and other pests this year.
This is the word from southern
entomologists and insecticide ex
perts who held a two-day confer
ence here.
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.

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. S. coke ovens turn out coal
by-products that total more than
150,000 items.
