I RALEIGH?W. P. Hedrick. t<
bacco marketing specialist wit
the State Department of Agricu
ture, reports that the marketir
of tobacco products in the Uni
ed States is now "at or near" th
highest level in the history <
the industry.
Due to the decline of shipment
of tobacco to Eqrope, supplie
available for distribution throug
retail channels are daily becon
ing larger though they are sti
! far short of the demand, explair
ed Heifrick. Despite the inadequat
supplied, however, consumption ,c
f cigarettes is at an "unprecedent

for the same month of 1944. to
Production of cigarettes, said of
Hedrick, 15 being maintained at gr
record levels, and supplied for on
civilian use during the next few pri
(months will depend primarily upon em
military requirements. gn
"Although the cigarette in- 19dustiy
as a whole is faced with
>. difficulties in expanding produc- He
ir tion, the situation should show sm
n marked improvement by the first th<
of the year," asserted Hedrick. otl
Domestic consumption of cigars
during the 1944-45 fiscal year 11
^ totaled 5,000,000,000?a slight in- f
1 crease over the 1943-44 fiscal'
^ year, but 20 per cent below the |
f wartime peak established in
" 1941-42. Hedrick said that more
)f higher-priced cigars are being
, smoked this year than in 1944. |
. I Production of smoking tobacco
j has declined during the war. Dur- Ai
^ ing 1944 it reached the lowest
level in many years.
U However, use of smoking to- j
bacco for the first six months
of this year was near the pre- j
war (1934-38) level, when con-| j
sumer purchasing power was wil
j much lower than today. j spa
u! Production of chewing tobacco Tri
has increased about 25 per cent not
I since the beginning of the war, tivi
* and is continuing at the wartime wh
peak. Production during last pia
March, for instance, totaled 11,s
000 000 pounds, an increase of h,.
_ three per cent over March, 1944. j
I j Hediick reported that while pia
chewing of plug has declined cal
tj slightly in recent months, this
decline was more than offset by
'* the increase in twist?"in part a the
't reflection of the increased mili- c"r'
it tary requirements for twist to- nec
? bacco." I

948 ? In other words, Socrates,1 n
f Bailey is re-elected in 1948, b
m't there some chances he could f
ot last through the six years ? ii
res. Well, if you were close to j
he Governor during those years,
rould not you stand some little
hance of being appointed to Bai;y's
position ? Also, my fineeathered
friend, even if he did
ist throughout the term, would1't
you like to run for the seat
t the end of that time? Yes.
:ou Know, 01 course, mat in me
vent Mr. Broughton is elected,
le, may be in there for the nextj
0 years'. Well, w here would that J

So?it is reasonable to supiose,
is it not, that virtually all
f the political leaders, the big
ioys, may be against Broughton
a 1948, knowing that if he wins
hey will be out of it completely,
iut if he loses, Bailey may die,
esign, or fail to run again in
954, and thus give them a
hance for the Senate by appointnent
or election at the end of
ix years.
FLY?But here is a little flj
a the ointment. The Governor
rext time will be from the East;
nd in the event Bailey could not
ontinue in office from 1948 to
954, this Governor would have
, little agreement with his Lt.
lev. He would resign and have
he new Governor appoint him
lenutor. This could happen all
ight during the first four years
f that six-year term. But not
uring the last two years, for
he Governor during that time
;ould be from the West, and
ie could not take 'the Eastern
ienator's place.
Jmstead going to do, if anyhing?
One hears his name menioned
for Governor and then for
