BY I,YNN NISBKT K.ileigli, Oct. 27.—The report of limy 15. Caldwell, master of the State Grange, prepared for delivery 1" the 15th annual session of the C:.mge at Statesvillc today, demands t"i the farmers of the nation and of this State more equitable treatment at hands nl government, and mdil'rtly pledges greatly increased pro(i it I ion by t'ne farmers if justice is accorded them. Caldwell foresees that hunger, uncertainty, lack of confidence and a Hiise of insecurity will constitute the big problems of any postwar reconst met ion program. He laid down the proposition that no post war program can succeed unless il is based <•» sound Christian principles. While looking iiheiid lo conditions after the war. the Orange master devoted most of his ittcntion to more immediate situations. Farmers are being called on for more production of essential food, feed and fiber crops, he said, and at the same time arc expected to buy more bonds and to pay higher taxes. He believes the farmers of North Carolina can meet all these challenges if certain restrictions and limitations are removed from them. Inequality of farm wages and nonfarm wages must be removed so the field worker can be assured of pay (Continued on Page Six) PROSPECTIVE DADS CELEBRATE ^HERE'S A OOOD REASON for the name and stork painted on the fuselaRo of this torpedo bomber at Henderson Field, Guadalcanal.

The program was developed l>y a special c< iiiiii i i t too of educators which Ml". Hoosevclt appointed last November when he signed into law the drafting of men 18 and I!) years old. In sending it to the Capitol, the President urged prompt legislation to put its broad outlines into operation. Suggested by the committee, and approved by .Mr. Roosevelt, were recommendations thai the Federal government make it financially possible for every man ami woman who lias served six months or more in the armed forces since September 16, 1940 (effective date of Selective Servioe), to receive a year's tralniiiK in an educational institution to equip tliem for gainful pursuits in peacetime. The committee and the President also proposed that, in addition, a limited number of service personnel selected for special aptitudes be permitted to carry on their education for an additional one to three years. The Federal government would meet not only the educational co>t but provide money for maintenance. Freighter Is Aground Off Jersey Coast Bel mar. New Jersey.

Allies Advance As Nazis Retreat To Mountain Defenses Air Warfare Intensified but Fighting Subsides As Germans Occupy Left Bank of Trigno River Allied Headquarters. Algiers. Oct. 27—(AI')—Allied troops advancing three to six miles have taken two more tow ns below I the Trigno river in Italy, lint fighting generally subsided as the last of the German rear guards were pulled back into the I massive new mountain line guarding Rome, official reports dis| closed today. I 1 Ail warfare intensified with smashes ;it Greek airfields and hammering of enemy supplies ;>nrl transports in Italy. Tin* Nazis «rr withdrawing to tile left hank of the Trigno river near the Adriatie coast, headquarters said, and Kighth Army units inland on this flank have taken Civila Campnmarano and Aequaviva Colleeroce. both about seven miles belftw the Trignu. American troops to the west occupied high ground facing Mnssico ridge, an anchor of the new German line. They established themselves on "Mad Dog llill" near Raviscaninn and on another ridge Francolise. The only heavy lighting yesterday was in the F.iiilith Army advance to the two towns. Canadian troops were in the thick of the fighting and acquitted themselves well, front reports said. The German emphasis on their defenses in the center of the front was undoubtedly based on the realization that the road running northwestward from Vinchiaturo to Isernia was of vital importnnre in holding their new mountain line. An Allied advancc along this road, which runs through main northsouth valley of the Italian peninsula, would threaten Venafro a key point in the new line. Withdrawal of Nazi rear guards into the mountain defenses might be likened to the pulling up of ladders by a medieval army as il gathered behind the walls o'r its fortress to defy an enemy threatening t<> batter them down.

Oct. -1 — (AIM — With Soviet troops storming the outskirts of Krivoi Kojr. the German command today took the gloomiest tone toward the Russian front since Stalingrad, in an apparent effort to stiffen the public and army alike for an impending military catastrophe. "A l.'irjre German withdrawal movement" in the Dnieper bend was announced by the ISerlin radio and by their own accounts the Nazis were beinj; pounded back from the Melitopol area all the way up to the region west of Smolensk.
