Air Force Still Frozen Here The freeze Is still on for enlist ments In the U. S. Air Force, Sgt. Winfield Pickett, .local recruiter, announced today. This freeze, affecting only men who have not had previous military service, was placed on Air Force enlistments earlier this month. It was laSer announced that it wouM be ' The order making this change came from headquarters, Thirl Army, and does not affect enlist, ment in the Air Force of men who have had prior military service, not tne enlistment of women. The Air Force is makhig a strong nid to reenlist former servicemen who have specialized skills, to save time and expense in training. Sgt. Pickett pointed out if the bah should be continued for a long period, many of the hundreds of men in this area now on the Air Force waiting list would have to accept enlistment in the regular army or airborne service, or be drafted. Enlistments for service with the army and alrbortie service, not affected by the freeze, are being taken through the local office on a quota scale. Only one man was enlisted through the local recruiting office into tfie armed forces last week, Sgt. Picketi announced. Jack Soth oron Byrd, Erwin, joined the Air Force and shipped to Pope Air Force Base at Fort Bragg for assignement. Byrd Is married and has seen pre vious service with the U. S. Navy. No Controls On Cotton, MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 30. 'UP)—William H. Ruffin, president of the National Association of Man ufacturers, hoped today that the cotton situation "would soon be straightened out in Washington so that the market can open and start functioning.” “What we seem to have now,” Ruffin said "is uncontrolled confus ion.” Here for a Rotary speech, Ruffin saW that wage and price controls “only get at the symptoms of the problem; they don’t provide a cure.” Ruffin said it would be a “grave mistake” to control the price of raw cotton. “Any sort of control on any com modity or product is inclined to c,urtall production,” he said. The government seeks a 16,000,- 000 bale cotton crop this year. NO CONTROLS “What farmers need most of all,” he said, “is to be given full free dom and the incentive to produce under a free enterprise system without controls.” Ruffin said that he was “very sympathetic” with the problems facing the cotton business. “The government price-control intentions with respect to cotton have been made neither clear or satisfying to the cotton trade,” he said. To encourage Increased cotton production, Ruffin said he favored "prompt announcement by the government that it would be will ing to buy and stockpile_at market prices whatever surplus of cotton might result.” If controls are kept on raw cot ton, he added “it would be very difficult to make the controls work satisfactorily.” Perry Leaves Hiway Patrol Patrolman T.
