Owen Predicts Biggest Season Tobacco should sell about as good on the Dunn Tobacco Market this year as it did last year, and the market should have its biggest year according to Dick Owen, op erator of the Farmer’s and Grow er’s warehouses. Owen said he had been touring this section since the rains and had noted' that the tobacco had come out considerably since the rainfall. "Although some of the leaf near the ground was pretty badly burned during the drouth,” he said, “the crop is in pretty good shape now.” Owen said that, although there was some loss because of the dry weather, he feels that it will not be enough to affect the market to any great extent, and that the prices will range about at last year’s level. Owen left during the weekend for Jasper,' Florida, and will re turn to Dunn In time for the open ing of the market here on August 21.

WILSON United Press Staff Corres pondent Chicago (IP) Democrats shooting for their sixth con secutive presidential election victory began moving today into the national convention battleground where the Re publican Party just named its 1952 Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. They convene here one week from today to nominate their presiden tial and vice presidential candi dates. The field was wide open for the first time since 1932, when Franklin D. Roosevelt won a bit terly contested nomination and launched his party on a course of conduct which vastly altered the world picture at home and abroad. SLUGFEST FREDICTED His political heirs and his op ponents are coming here 20 years later to slug it out for control of the Democratic Party. There are 17 more or less avowed presidential candidates in the field, including some horses darker than black. A lot of wise money already is down on Gov. Adlai E. Steven son of Illinois who has said re peatedly that he did not want the nomination. WOULD RATHER DIE The governor joked yesterday that if he were nominated, “I would shoot myself.” As the clans gather, it appears that Stevenson can have the nom ination If he wants it. President Truman has promised hands off, but didn’t say positively, either. He wants a candidate whd .will run on the Truman administration record and support Truman admin istration objectives. ’ Averell Harriman Is the only man in the field with any substantial backing who has gone all out iur what the President calls his Fall- Deal Program. Some others are close enough. He was Mr. Tru man’s first choice for the nomin ation at one time but his coy be havior may have cooled the Pres ident's enthusiasm. SOUTH OPPOSES FEPC This Democratic convention may become an angry as the Republi can ruckus which ended last week. Powerful Southern party leaders are insisting that the 1952 plat form backtrack on civil rights, es pecially from the 1948 pledge to enact federal fair employment practices legislation. Mr. Truman is determined that the party shall stand pat, or even go further in committing itself.

It seems I’ve been back ing losing candidates now for 20 years. But I’m sure we’ve got a winner this time.” “Unlike my Democratic friends who only have one or two good possibilities,’’ declared Chairman West, “We Republicans have many outstanding men, either of whom would make an outstanding Presi dent.
