C., under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879. Every afternoon, Monday through Friday King Cotton Ins spite of high-money, fast selling crops like tobacco, is still king in this section and a good proportion of the economy is still dependent on whether the cotton crop is good or bad. > Synthetics may supplement cotton in wearing apparel but they will never replace it and it is, and probably will remain the basic fabric. New technological advances are constantly finding new uses for cotton and its by-products, which more than take up the gap made by the use of other materials. In years of a heavy crop we often hear the cry to limit production on cotton and turn the land into other crops. l|But one short crop year is enough to emphasize the need for this basic commodity, particularly in times of emerg ency such as the present. The nation needs cotton for tents, bandages, clothing, gun cotton and hundreds of other military purposes. As long as the bogey of over production is kept well hidden and th epresent crying need for lint products prevails, there is no reason to cry havoc for the cotton farmer. With textile manufacturers constantly moving plants from the north, the manufacture of cotton and cotton pro ducts is rapidly becoming the top industry in the south. Economically, it is sound practice to move plants closer to the source of supply, and cotton is the crop of the south. Erwin Mills, constantly expanding, is one of the big gest factors in the economy of this section. When the mills are running full time the result is reflected in prosperity all over th ecounty. Conversely, when the mills are on short time or shut down for any reason, the entire county suf fers. King Cotton will remain on his throne for a long time t ocome. He may suffer a knockdown, occasionally, but don’t ever count the old fellow out. • : Erwin Hospital Patients Little Carolyn Byrd, Mr% Esther Lane, Mrs. Jean Cruch, MjJ.

Day, Director of the' Fish and Wildlife Service. Otherwise Director Day, who has had a long-time love affair with all furry and finny things, includ ing whales, will issue his own whale rules. He already has 'em all written out. V One of the troubles with whales is that people won’t leave them alone. Always teasing ’em. This makes for unhappy whales, which pine away, and what good is a skinny whale for blubber? All he’s got left is whalebone, a commodity no longer in any great demand. That is why Director Day intends to make the molesting of whales a criminal offense, subjecting the mo lesters to a jail term. As he puts it, officially; 0 “The chasing, molesting, exiting, or interfering, with firearms or by any other manner or means, with any whale protected by the pro visions of the International Con vention for the Regulation of Whaling of 1946 is prohibited.” Catching a whale legitimately is a good deal different from moles ting one; this calls for a license and considerable book work. Baleen whales may be caught 1 to October 31 and sperm •whales from April 1 to November SO. Anybody doing this, providing the whale doesn't get him first, must Jot down the day and the hour of the capture, the species of the Pauline Brock.

If lost, the whale catcher must explain why. The factory ship must give each 'whale a serial number, record its sex, measure its length, describe the contents of its stomach, name the whale catcher which took it, and mention any abnormalities no ted about it. Unclaimed whales, which occas sionally float up dead to a beach,, are different. You need no license to cart one of these away, but you'vA got to report to director Day what kind of whale you found, where and when, and what you in tend to do with it. These rules and others, which consume a good many hundreds of words, mention nowhere the dead whales on tour of the Middle West riding on flat cars, where the locals can have a look for 25 cents. Day, unfortunately, was out q t town when I called to discuss the whale situation, but I did have a nice chat with Dr. John Kask, his top assistant in charge of whales. Dr. Kask said whales in 1952 are a mong the happiest of beasts. This is because hardly anybody is molesting them, or shooting them, either. In all 'the United States this year, not one single whale firm Is at work. This is because of the low l>rice of whale oil. What little whaling going cm now Is the Antarctic. This is where most of the molesting happens, too. Dr. Kask said the fellows down there sometimes chase a whale all day, wear it out, decide it isn’t the These Days SOCIALIST NEUTRALISM It has been fashionabfe in recent years, in this country, for those in both parties who deal with inter national problems, to believe that a "Third Force" can save Europe from Russia. They have therefore tended to support the various Soc ialist groups which take a middle position between the United States and Soviet Russia. In effect, it is more becoming American policy, by indirection, to support neutralism in Europe, The British Labour Party has, under the influence of Aneurin Be van, been developing neutralists tendencies. Although at a recent meeting of the party, the Bevan faction was defeated, its strength was apparent. It is probable that should the Labour Party return to power, Bevan will be its leader. He is a National Socialist of Marxist persuasion, who places the United States on a par with Soviet Rus sia from a British standpoint. He seeks, for Great Britain, a balance of power between the United States and Soviet Russia, with Great Bri tain allied to neither but benefiting from both. While the British Labour Party has never been in agreement with the United States on its China policy or the Korean War, it is possible to say with accuracy that the Conservative Party has been of divided opinion and not alto gether favorably disposed. Great Britain, whether Labour or Con servative, desired that the United States recognize Soviet China, as the British did, with a view to as sisting British trade. Both parties were antagonistic to General Doug las MacArthur. The British forces assigned to the Korean? War amount to about 23,000 as compared to 600,000 Amer icans. American casualties have amounted to approximately 120,000; British to over 3.000; Americans killed amount to about 20,000; the British killed to over 500, Yet, the British insist upon de termining the policy of this war. So far as the British are concern ed, the re-establishment of the 38th parallel ended the Korean War. Yet Americans are being killed there every day. In a full dress debate on this subject in the HouSe of Commons, the following resolution was in troduced by Mr. Noel-Baker (La bour)! “That this House, while appre ciating that the Government and armed forces of the United States of America have borne the major share of the burden of resisting armed aggression in Korea, re grets the failure of Her Majesty’s Government to secure effective consultation prior to recent devel opments, including consultation on the timing of certain recent air operations; and considers that im proved arrangements should now be made to enable such consulta tion to take place between the Governments principally concern ed on issues of United Nations pol icy in the Far East.” It is important to note that this is what he proposed; “He agreed that military opera tions could no*, be run by a com mittee—there must be a command —and that 16 Governments could not be told in advance about im pending plans and operations—but he maintained that we could have not only a British deputy chief of staff, but a more fully integrated command under General Mark Clark, and a small but strong po litical sub-committee of the United Nations to study and consider at high level the big political Issues as they arose. “But more adequate machinery would not suffice if the Govern ment failed to assert their right to consultation ...” J , , Churchill came to Bur defense. It is interesting to note some of the things he said; “ What the Communists had lost in the field they recovered at the haggling table of Panmunjom. If they compared the position to day with what it was a year ago, they could see how shrewd and well-timed was the Russian request for an armistice and how heavy had been the cost to the American armies who were bearing nine tenths of the burden and the brunt of the war in Korea ... “It was said that the United States forces had had 32,000 cas ualties in the bickering on the front during the armistice nego tiations. We had 1,200 ... ” I wish to call attention to the : fact that I wrote, at the time that the armistice was proposed, that this would happen. I say this not in pride but rather to point out that this has always been the way of the Chinese Communists; that Chiang Kai-shek lost Manchuria and North China because he was forced by the United States to ac cept a similar armistice with the Chinese Communists. kind they want and let it go. This is hard on whales and lt has got to stop. . . The rules eventually will be ad opted by the International Whaling Conference in London. If the price of oil should go up, we’ll be back in the business, too, and then the regulations will apply to us. So it is that Director Day’s document is not as academic as it looks at first glance, as I, for one, am glad tp i know. TW. DAILY RECORD, BUNN, N.

The new chairman has been either unfamiliar with these local situations or hasn't been able to delegate authority. Turbulent Texas he has left in the hands of Speaker Sam Ray burn, who delayed a Stevenson or ganization meeting until three weeks after the Shivercrats an nounced for Eisenhower; also in the hands of timid Sen.

RUMOR FACTORY Rumors are like mushrooms. Once they get started they keep on growing. Some time ago the Hollywood reporter reported that Lady Sylvia Ashley, ex-wife of Douglas Fair banks and later of Clark Gable, had been “squired around Nassau by Stuart Symington, aide to the Governor.” Shortly thereafter the same re port appeared in a New York Gos -1 sip column. Only this time, the item omitted the fact that Stuart Sy mington was' “aide to the Gov ernor." There happen to be two Stuart Symingtons: One the form er director of the RFC now running for the Senate in Missouri; the other a Britisher and aide to the governor of the Bahamas. He hap pens to be single. People, reading the New York column, began talking about an impending divorce in the Stuart Symington family The Missouri Symingtons. Symington happens to be one of the most happily married men in public life, but the rumor kept on spreading. Eventually the rumor came back to Symington from a friend who asked: “Stuart, what’s this story I hear about you and Greta Garbo gibing around together?” COSTELLO RUMOR Another rumor erroneously cur rent is that David Chamay, crack New York public relations man, handled publicity for gangland leader Frankie Costello.

However, careful investigation convinces me that Chamay was no such thing. As a newsman he once knew and wrote stories about Cos tello. But they were critical stories.

Though probed by Kefauver, Charnay harbored no grudge, had an interesting experience at Chi cago when Kefauver was running for president. Charnay was adviser to Sen. Dick Russell of Georgia. And after both Russell and Kefauver were defeated by Stevenson and the top party leaders were sitting in the little room behind the convention rostrum trying to decide who should be vice-president. Charnay, who w%s in the room, urged that they bring Kefauver into the con ference. The South is going to be terribly important in this campaign," Char nay urged. "Kefauver has put up a great fight.

Revelation in Re lieving Tension, Woman i No Longer Happy Without Liquor; How Break Habit? DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am a housewife in my late thirties, mother of two children—whole some, healthy young animals. My husband also is wholesome and healthy, but not entirely happy— because I love to drink. I started imbibing at college. It was “the thing to do” on our campus. The first drink was a revelation. I had never before felt so completely pleased with the world and all its inhabitants. I was the middle child in a fam ily of brothers and sisters; and my poor tired mother used me as a third hand, I was given work and responsibiUty beyond my years. Though sturdy in body, I was sen sitive in spirit, and she wounded me time and again, discouraging soft sentiment from me. I worked my way through two years of col lege, then finally quit the struggle for a degree and got a job I left home as soon as I could and my relationship with mother improved immediately. I wanted very much to be popu lar with boys and eventually suc ceeded. After half a dozen propos als I married Tom, a genial, easy going guy, probably one of the few men on earth who would tolerate my drinking. I drank moderately until a few years ago, when I found that my moods of depression (which have always been with me) quick ly disappeared with a few drinks. Now I’m never really happy un less “under the influence” to some extent; and T drink alone as well as in company. When I drink I have a sense of well being and a mellow outlook that makes me wonder if there is a physical basis for some individ uals’ craving for alcohol. I’ve read something to that effect, but ap parently the theory isn’t proved. In fact I’ve read a good deal on aicololism without gaining insight int my case; but reason tells me it’s senseless to go on this way. My husband still loves me, but I know he worries about the situation. As I do. How can I achieve peace of mind and a happy acceptance of Roger Mann of Lillington was named to the board of governors of the chapter of the American Institute of Banking, formed at a meeting in Fayetteville.

This will throw 7 him into a pan ic, for it is characteristic of hu man beings to value a thing great er when it is taken away. We don't appreciate, oxygen, for example, until we are strangling. Then oxygen becomes th(e most beautiful thing in life. , When a man takes a girl for granted and seems quite content to keep her as a sweetheart or sec retary but not as a wife, then you girls must rudely jar him out of such complacency. Either stir up some competition by dating other boys, or if this is impossible in your small town or neighborhood set, then move into greener pastures. Go out into the world to seek your fortune. Leave home and seek an office, factory or teaching job in another town. Take the gamble, for you shouldn’t fritter away all your youth and beauty waiting for your local Ham let to decide whether “to be or not to be" married. HAMLET’S ONE YEAR There may occasionally be ex tenuating circumstances which warrant giving your Hamlet more than a year, but any livewire girl ought to be able to make herself the indispensable crutch within 12 month?. If your boy friend cannot decide, he may be a “mamn*a’s apron stringer” or so low in sexual vigor that he doesn’t crave much more than a chief cook and bottle wash er, so don’t waste more time on him. Competition spurs a real man into action. Even you girls realize that when you are trying to make up your mind which piece of fab ric to buy at a department store counter, if another woman steps up and shows she wants one of your tentative choices, then you are likely to hurry to the same decision and purchase it. So give your boy friend com petition after one year's monopoly of ybur heart. life and its problems without this crutch? E S A A PROGRAM REALLY HELPS DEAR E. S.: As of today, the in formal fellowship known as Alco holics Anonymous —the A. A. — probably embodies society’s best hope of help for the alcoholic drinker. The A. A. groups—there are more than 3.100 scattered over the world —are an affiliation of men and women who honestly want to stop drinking. That is the only require ment for membership. Members meet in neighborly groups to share t.beir experience and hope in a co operative effort to solve their com mon problem And to a remarkable extent they find it true that “who helps his brother’s bark to land will find his own has reached the shore.” A. A. lines up with medicine and psychiatry in designating alcohol ism as a disease, not a disgrace; a . health problem, not a moral aber ration. "We wish to emphasize,” ■ says A. A., "that an alcoholic is 1 just as much a sick person as is an individual with diabetes, tubercul osis or a cardiac condition. “Theories are advanced that the cause is a peculiar chemical make up of the body, resulting in a phy sical susceptibility. Or that it is due to a character deficiency, an escap ist complex, inferiority complex or to numerous other idiosyncrasies. Any one of these may be true in whole or in part. For simplicity, however we have chosen to identify it as an allergy resembling the un fortunate situation of a diabetic with an insatiable, compulsive de sire for sugar.” CENTRAL OFFICE PROVIDES DATA What is the promise of cure? A. A. says, “There is no known cure for physical susceptibility and in the active stage it always grows progressively worse. But if the mental compulsion to drink is kept under control, then the disease be comes arrested and the alcoholic can live a normal, useful and happy life, similar to the arrested diabet ic.” A. A. offers the alcoholic a new way of life, which enables jiim to ‘ compulsion to drink; and so long as this is accomplished, he need never 1 bring under control the emotional worry about the physical chemistry which makes him allergic to al cohol.
