Will Demonstrate Harvesting Of Sweet Potato Crop RALEIGH, Oct. 2 —OP>— Sweet potato harvesting demonstrations will be conducted in 10 North Car olina counties in the next two weeks to show growers the proper methods of grading and handling in the field. J. L. Lassiter and Howard Ellis, of State college, and Ralph Sechler of the State depart- j ment of agriculture will be in1 charge of the demonstrations. Their scheduld: Todaj, Pitt1 county; Tuesday, Martin county; Wednesday, Perquimans; Thurs day, Tyrrell; Friday, Nash; Oct. 8, Lee; Oct. 9, Cleveland; Oct. 10, Rutherford; Oct. 11, Catawba; Oct. 12, Rowan. i CITY Starts On Page One supported the zoning idea and J. L. Suttle, jr.. secretary of the Cleveland Building and Loan as- | sociation who also indicated his support of the plan. After the commission is named one of its first tasks, according to Mr. rranklin will be to lay out a map showing the city's indus trial, business and residential areas as they are now located and as they can be planned for the fu ture. This will necessitate a thor ough survey and a new map of the city of Shelby showing prop- 1 erty lines as w’ell as the various utilities. Mr. Franklin pointed to the ad vantage of protecting home owners against the encroachment of un desirable neighbors and segrega tion of the business and industrial districts. These segregations are not unchangeable, he pointed out but residence areas may be chang ed into business areas by an ap peal to the board of adjustment which would make recommenda tions to the board of aldermen who alone would have the author ity to make the change. Converse ly business areas may be changed to residential areas by the same sort of process. The Zoning commission must work out the specifications for new . building restrictions in Residence A. B. and C districts. This in volved determination ol front, side and back yard space and the height of the buildings. Mr. Franklin wdil come back af ter the zoning commission is nam ed and will work with it in get ting the idea over to the public. After that he will assist in lay ing out the map and the new toning lines. Whatever zones are laid out will not affect existing iuildings and business, it was pointed out, but as these are re placed. the new restrictions must >e followed. It takes several years for the yffects of zoning to be seen, Mr. innklln said. WEATHER CHARLOTTE.

Operators rejected the United Mine Workers’ invitation to dis cuss a foremen's walkout. The 1 producers said the men should go back to work first. Lewis remained silent.

"Gas is used for cooking and people must eat,” the SFA said. Steel mills have no larger stock piles than the gas utilities, but pressure must be kept up for safe- j ty reasons, the agency added. Some railroad coal reserves were reported down to 15 days as the strikes spread to the southern Ap palachian region. About 60,000 miners already are I Idle in four states. And roving pickets closed up steel companies “captive” mines. Six of the U. S. Steel Corporation's biggest work ings were down. DEMOCRATS Starts Ob Page One ; cent for each taxpayer.

Gregory (D-Ky) one of the four ways and means Democrats who Joined in a coalition with Re publicans to shelve the Jobless pay bill, told newspapermen: “I'm for Fred Vinson’s tax pro gram. I believe the committee will approve it." George, the senate’s leading tax manager, said in an interview: “Vinson is entirely right in get ting rid of the excess profits tax. | He is entirely right in setting a de finite cutoff date for high excise ! rates. There might be some differ ’ ences about the treatment of reduc tions for individuals, but his amounts are about as high as we can go at this time. I am convinced he has made a very constructive ap j pro&ch.” REA To Spend Thirty Million In JV. C.

The Tokyo newspaper Mainlchi said today that new loud demands for a less tainted, more energetic government may force Premier Prince Higashi-Kuni to shuffle the cabinet even before the end of de mobilization, set for about Oct. 15. MAY QUIT Higashi-Kuni had specifically asked the army and navy minis ters to stay on the job until they finish the breaking up of the arm ed forces and the repatriation of servicemen from abroad. Humors intensified that these two would quit at their earliest opportunity and that others would go out with them or perhaps in advance, Mainichi said. Other well-informed Japanese sources said Higashi-Kuni himself might resign in the face of in creasing criticism of his govern ment failure to formulate a con crete plan to alleviate the short ages of food, housing and fuel be fore the rapidly approaching win ter. These sources said vice Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye might lead the exit march in a general clearing out of cabinet ministers and other government leaders for merly aligned with the Japanese war machine. FREEDOM OF PRESS Tokyo’s newspapers, enjoying a new aliied-guaranteed freedom of the press, attacked Japanese gov ernment ’’inefficiency” and "se crecy.” They demanded the im mediate retirement of "feudalistic and narrow-minded officials” in the home ministry who tried to confiscate editions which carried American correspondents’ inter views with Emperor Hirohito and pictures of the unprecedented meeting of General MacArthur and the emperor. The allied com mand countermanded the home ministry order. While the allied command has guaranteed the Japanese press and radio the right to report the truth, its censorship remains strict. It ordered confiscation of all outstanding copies of the Eng lish-Japanese magazine, Yoyo Keizai Shimpo, today for “publi cation of material inimical to the interests of the occupation forces.” MOLOTOV Starts On Page One Molotov arose, walked toward the door, turned and said: ’ “Unless that remark is withdrawn, I am leaving this room and the conference.” A few seconds of silence e lapsed. Then Bevin spoke, saying he withdrew his remarks. Molotov returned te his chair. Persons present said that at this point there seemed no hope of the conference continuing. The minis ters, however, attempted to get back down to work and break the deadlock on the Balkan issue. Later during the session, Molo tov in a speech described as full of implication and innuendo, re called previous conferences of for eign ministers which he said were successful because they were heard at Teheran and Moscow and be cause former U. S. Secretary ol State Cordell Hull and formei British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden were present. Molotov was reported to have told the council there were “cor dial relations” during those pre vious sessions, j “MOVING SPEECH” On the same Sunday evening ol the clash, Secretary of State James F. Byrnes also spoke ir what was described as an attempi to smooth things. Persons present said it was “a moving speech.” It was reported that the minis , ters, toward the end of the Sun day night meeting, packed theii papers in their brief cases anc were prepared to end the confer ence then. | But the Chinese foreign minis %jfi<xiwfoTl(ahks& Furnished by J.

Oct 2—UP'—'The cur rent North Carolina State Guard should be maintained at full strength and used as a nucleus for reorganization of the National Guard when old units are releas ed from active federal service. Adjutant General J. Van B. Metts says. Metts, commander of the State Guard, said Governor Cherry is in accord with the idea He ad ded that the guard is now short of its allotted strength of 2,402 of ficers and men. DISAGREEMENTS Starts On Page One been directly concerned with such problems as the feeding of Europe. The main Item on its agenda has been the framing of peace treaties .for Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Finland. Sttll, this task has a very direct relation to the rehabili tation question. Failure to complete it re*ards rehabilitation. Back in the dark days of the war. when the allies had great problems to solve, there was a meeting of the big three chiefs of state Those three men, accompanied by their experts and advisers, ironed out the mutual problems and laid plans for conduct of the war. Probably they had their differences of opinion at times, but they were onv three and were cloth ed with vast authority, they always reached an accord Momentous po litical and military decisions were made—and were carried out. Only yesterday I heard a distinguished personage who attended these eon . ferences sneak of the faithfulness with which these agreements were kept. COMMON STRUGGLE Well, of course the life-or-death struggle of the battle-fields held the big three together in closest coop eration Yet many ' f the situations which / big thi t at that time were no more dang..; /us in the long run than those which face us at this moment. W'e mustn't forget that upon the next few months may depend the future of peace. So It's good to hear talk of an other meeting of the big three heads of state to take up the situations which are plaguing rehabilitation now. If President Truman, Gener alissimo Stalin and Prime Minister Attlee could get together in the Im mediate future, it might make all the difference to the allied prog ress in reconstruction. Naturally t'here are tough ques tions to be answered. The major powers fo Europe and Asia are ma neuvering for military security. This accounts in part for the spheres of influence which are being created. Unfortunately, power politics a!so have entered into the picture. T! lie things have given rise to suspicions among the allies. Probably the best way to tackle this highly dangerous matter of ; suspicions is to dump them onto a ! table before the big three chiefs. There such problems as the atomic bomb could be threshed out—and don't let anybody think that the bomb hasn't created a terrific in ternational quesilon. A meeting of these three statesmen would be cal culated to set the peace wheels turning fast. Rain in London LONDON.—(/Pi—London has been wetter than usual this year.
