Nation's Kditors
Protest (Censorship
New-paper executives voiced pro
tests against news censorship any
where and Iran in particular as the
American Society of Newspaper
Ivhtors convened today f"i a three
day meeting.
Wilbur Forrest, assistant editor of
The Ν· w York Herald-Tribune and
chairman of the ASN'K committee on
world freedom of information, told j
a reporter that he would ask the '
society to go on record as condem
ning the strict censorship imposed !
by Iran.
"This i> one of the negatives of
pre-.- freedom." he said. "When it
is announced openly that such cen
sorship will be practiced, it is time
something is done. The United Na
tions certainly have a problem to
so Κ e."
Forrest's comments coincided with
a report by John KniglM, ASNE
president, urging the society to con
tinue its light for "freedom of com
munication.- everywhere."

Plans Made For Continuing
AAA Conservation Program
College Station, Raleigh, April lil. ,
— Plans are now in the making for !
continuation next year of the ΛΛΛ
agneultural conservation program in
which North Carolina farmers re
ceived payments totaling S34.1ÎHH,
000 between 1936 and 1944, it was
announced today by G. Tom Scott,
state director of the Production and
Marketing Administration.
County Triple-A committees thro
ughout the state are drawing up crop
and payment recommendations to be
made for inclusion in the 1937 con
servation program, Scott said. He
encouraged farmers to make their
desires known to local committee- :
men m order that county recommen
dations may reflect the composite |
needs of every community. Deadline
for submission of requests to the
state committee is May 1, Scott re
ported.
Payments to state farmers under
the conservation program, for plant
nit; recommended soil-building crop:
and applying othei accredited lain
practices, rose Iron1, a low of S9<>
<11)0 at the beginning, ol the progran
in 19,'it! to a high ol S7,li:i9,00tl η
1943. Λ drop in payment.» to Sô.80.3,
000 in 1944, was attiibuted to srtort
ages of certain farming material
and short labor supply. Payment
for practices in 194f> are expected ti
approximate those of 1944. Λ sub
stantial increase in conservatioi
money is predicted for this year.
The Triple-Λ policy, Scott said. .
to foster the acceptance by farmei
01 the best farming prflctices. One
an approved practice i.· general!
adopted in a county, payments ίο
it are ceased and it is dropped froi
the program. Principal among th
practices widely adopted and sine
dropped from the program in tin
state are the interplanting of cow
peas and soybeans in corn and plant
ing an accredited home garden.

Wotion By ISaukin.
Today's first vote came on a mo
tion by Hep. Rankin (i)) of Missis
sippi to sweep the bill off the floor
completely and shelve it 111 the
House Banking Committee.
The House then proceded with a
roll call vote on passage of the ex
tension legislation. It then would go
to the senate.
The bill's major clauses now call
for prices guaranteeing "reasonable
profit ' to all manufacturers and dis
tributors: strapping Government
food subsidies: lepeal ot the low cosl
clothing production program and an
end to the "cost of absorbition'
controls limiting prices on autos,
radios and the like.
Measure Dcpolrcd.
l-'eonomic Stabilizer Howies dt -
plored the House measure as the be
ginning of "a joy ride toward eco
nomic disaster. Porter said :i the
House action is sustained in the Sen
ate. it "amounts to repeal of price
control."
But the House, having missed out
on a final vote late last night alteP
a stormy marathon session, expect
ed to toss the bill as it is over to
the Senate. Whether it will fare bet
ter in that chamber was speculative.
Indeed, so great was President
Truman's congressional setback ·>ι
economic policy that rumors swept
the Capital that both Bowies and
Porter would resign. However, Bow
ies went on a radio network and de
clared he expected to "see this thing
through to the finish."
