MacArthur’s abolition of the National Financial Control Asso ciation and completion of a de tailed inventory of Japan ase in dustry to form the basis of what ever reparations Japan may be required to pay, were other steps in the direction of demilitarizing Japan. TRUMAN SEES ARMY DEFEAT NAVY, SAT. Philadelphia—President Tru man witnessed Army’s 32-13 tri umph over the Navy Saturday along with more than 100,000 oth er shivering Americans, then de parted by special train for Wash ington at 4:45 p. m. (e.s.t.). In accordance with tradition, Mr. Truman rooted for both sides, sitting during the first half of the game on the Army side, the lat ter half in the Navy stands. He and Mrs. Truman got so cold during the early part of the game that Secret Service men wrapped blankets about their shoulders. Both boxes were steam-heated although not en closed. It was the President’s first real holiday since his Carutherville, Mo., and Reelfoot Lake trip in early October, and he seemed to enjoy himself. BITTER HATKGU OF U. S. RULE IN REICH Frankfurt, Germany—A secret survey by American intelligence officers disclosed German resent ment against American occupa tion methods is developing into bitter hatred with growing talk of resistance. The 20,000 word report on “the German view” was compiled by two American intelligence offi cers and two trusted Germans and disclosed what Germans are talking about among themselves. The report was described official ly as “more nearly true than any yet produced.” Even among some clergymen and Germans who profess pro Allied sympathies the view is' held that the American military! was involved in red tape, and suffers from lack of policy which has led to injustices ar.d confu sion. NAVY DIVER FINDS BUS IN 200 FEET OF WATER Clelan, Wash.—A school bus, which carried the driver and 15 students to their deaths in Lake Chelan last Monday, was found' by a navy diver in 250 feet of water off shore. The diver, C. E. Meyers, of New York City, reported the bus: was resting upside down. Meyers did not determine im mediately how many bodies re-1 mained in the machine.

Edwards, of Hookerton, State representa tive from Greene county, was elected president of the State As sociation of Soil Conservation District supervisors at its annual j meeting here. He succeeds D. S. Rhyne of Gaston county. Other officers selected: W. Her- | bert White, Rockingham county, I first vice-president; Wade E. El ler, Ashe county, second vice president; W. W. Eagles. Edge combe county, treasurer; and E. B. Garrett, of Raleigh, State Con servationist, secretary. The meeting was held at the Hotel Carolina. The subject “How To Get More Conservation! on the Land,” was discussed by the following supervisors: George F. Wiese, Caldwell county; H. S. Hogan, Orange; J. H. Brodie, I Vance; and V. V. Secrest. Union. A ..second subject, “Functions of | Agricultural Agencies in Getting I Conservation Applied on the jLand,” was discussed by O. J. I Holler, Rutherford; Henry Vann, [Sampson; A. C. Edwards. Greene; and George R. Garrison, Ala mance. Fertility problems involved in' soil conservation were outlined by Dr. Ralph Cummings, head of the Agronomy Department at State College at the afternoon session. A feature of the meeting was a report of the progress of soil conservation work in North Car olina by Dr. I. O. Schaub, of, State College, chairman of the i State Conservation Committee.! Special reports were made for j each district by the chairman in ; each area. At the annual banquet, the fea ture address was delivered by | William B. Umstead, of Durham, i former congressman from the sixth district. In his address, Umstead gave a brief review of the soil-conservo- ' tion movement in America and stressed the part President Frank lin Roosevelt played in initiating the movement “Back in 103.1, President Roosevelt allocated a relatively small sum—$5 000.000, I think it was—to be spent in soil conservation,” Umstead said. La ter, he increased that sum with monies from relief funds. “Now, a combination of experi ment with relief money is some times a dangerous thing, but in this instance that project was worth the risk. “From seven small experimen tal projects—two of which were laid in North Carolina—-there has grown the present great program, which ties in with the Triple-A to rebuild a portion of our vast national wealth that was lost : "Whether you agree with all the things that the late President Roosevelt did, it is my humble judgment that no man has lived in our day who saw more clearly the need of conserving the na tion’s resources—all the resourc es of every kind. [ “I am oleased to know that 21 districts have been created under the State Law, involving 83 of our 100 counties; that under the program are some 23,600 farmers who have adopted farih plans, and that of that number 46 per gent are^ fulfilling the recommenda tions concerning those plans. That means that scattered throughout North Carolina there are farmers which, under the di rection of skilled men,'Are be inf I brought back to greater fertlHtj 'and great production. [ ‘Through the. soil Conte rvatSoi program and the Triple-A, the farmer is being aided. The main thing about these programs is that they help the farmer to help himself, and I have always be lieved that that is all that the farmer wants.” Umstead paid tribute to Dean I. O. Schaub, chairman of the State Soil Conservation Commit tee and director of Extension at State College and others for “their fine vision of the future and knowledge of the past—that is, by experiment and patient work, bringing in new things and ways to aid the farmer in North Carolina.” A. C. Edwards, newly elected president, presided at the ban quet. The invocation was given by D. G. Wilson, of Davidson county, and the group was led in singing “America” by Dr. L. D. Baver, of State College. The only food item under ra tioning control is sugar, and the USDA has extended import con trols to include all sugar-con taining products shipped to the U. S. Many North Carolina farmers are missing a real opportunity of making good money by not rais ing sheep, say county agents of the State College Extension Serv ice. “I plan to plant more of my land to permanent grasses so that the cows can harvest the crop and bring it under their own power to the milk barn,” says Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson. Square Dance —AT— Laurel Springs School Saturday Night, December 8 Everybody Invited To Come. Admission: Ladies, 50c; Gentlemen, 75c First Complete Pipe Factory of the South Sparta, N. C.
