Scott Budget
Message Set
For Tonight
Governor To Address
Joint Session;
Will Ask High Taxes
By WADE LUCAS
Record Correspondent
RALEIGH, Jan.B—Just how much
more money Governor Scott will
ask for tonight when he addressee
a joint session of the General'
Assembly at 8:30 o’clock than will
be recommended by the State Ad ■
visory Budget Commission had most
legislators and observers frankly
puzzled today.
Governor Scott last Thursday told;
the lawmakers that it is ’ obvious'’
the State will need more money
during the 1951-53 biennium begin
ning next July 1, and tonight he is
slated to tell them just where they
can get the money, so he thinks, in'
event they want to go along with
him.
Legislators seem generally agreed
with the rather common belief that
inflation brought on by the national
and international crises is primarily
responsible for the rather sharp in
creases in State general and road
funds collections. But they are
equally agreed and also fearful that
this situation may not continue and
that placing of federal controls on
wages and prices may deal a body
blow to revenue collections.

Word that Mayo would make
room for the four-year old child
was brought to the parents shortly
after a special prayer service here

Purcell and 100 parishoners prayed
together that whatever is done, will
be the right thing.
The Rev. Herbert Lawson asked
God to “direct the heart of the
mother in making the final decis

Mrs. Purcell has been unable to
decide whether to let doctors re
move one or both of Carolyn Joan’s
eyes, which are afTected by cancer.
Specialists said the surger .vas the
only way to save her life. The

Harnett County farmers were ask
ed today to plant more cotton—to
double and triple their last years’s
planting if necessary--to help Har
nett reach its goal of 30,000 acres
for 1951.
Last year, Harnett producted only
7,000 bales, which was 10,000 bales
less than the amount produced in
1949, which meant $2,000,000 less in
come for farmers of the county.
The call for greater production
came today from County Agent C.
R. Ammons, who pointed out that
more cotton is needed to meet civil
ian and military needs.
The Army’s Quartermaster Corps
has announced that cotton is the,

President Calls For
More Production
Planes, Tanks, Arms
WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—(UP)
President Truman ..told Congress
and his countrymen today that the
sole hope of peace lies in rapid
buildup of the free world’s ability to
wage “a full scale war" of defense
against Soviet Russia.
Only by bending all efforts to
ward such a buildup of power, the
President said, can w# hope to
make the Soviet rulers “lay aside
their plans to take over ths world.”
Declaring that Russia has tipped
her aggressive plans in Korea and
in the United Nations, where she
refuses to "live and let live,” the
President said we must get ready
“for full wartime mobilization, if
that should b e necessary.”
He presented a program calling
for expansion of weapon production
to 50,000 military planes a year and
35,000 tanks a year. He said we
must be ready “on short notice” to
produce all the modern arms and
supplies “that may be needed, fbr
a full scale war.”
NO APPEASEMENT
In a grim State of the Union
message delivered in person to the
new Congress and via radio to the
nation and the world, Mr. Truman
offered again “to negotiate honor
able settlements” with the Soviet
Union. But, he said, “we will' not
engage in appeasement.”
The President, speaking against
a background of defeats in Korea
and soaring tensions eleswhere in
Asia and Europe, devoted almost
all of his 3,500-word address to the
Soviet menace and the military re
quirements for meeting it.
He all but buried his “Fair Deal,”
dOßjestic program. He said Congress
should keep it in mind. But many
ShJhgs “We would normally do;’, he
said, “must be curtailed or post
poned.”
10 POINT PROGRAM
Mr. Truman presented a 10-point
general program calling for higher
taxes, more control authority, more
money for the military, extension of
the draft, more arms and economic
help for free nations, and revision
of farm and labor laws. He said he
would present the details in special
messages later, in this week’s econo
mic report, and in his budget mes
sage Jan. 15.
