United Nations Council Sets Berlin Issue For Debate Monday; Austin Reaffirms U.S. Readiness To Submit Atomic Energy Production To International Control Paris, Sept. 30 — (.V)— The United Nations Security Council on Monday takes up the most explosive issue of its three-year history—the western ch&ge that Russia threatens the peace of the world by her blockade of Berlin. The Council announced today that Chief U. Si Delegate War ren R. Austin will be in the chair as the October President when the session opens at 3 p. m. (9 a. m., EST.) However, the U. S. delegation said it expects Austin will step down when the case comes up and surrender the chairmanship to Argentina, next in line for it. ‘ If the Russians try to bar the Berlin case from the agenda. Austin is reported planning to I remain as chairman until the procedural battle is over. Seven votes are required to approve admission of an item, and the big-power veto does not apply. The council’s announcement came shortly after the east-west dispute on atomic controls went before the 58-nation political committee of the assembly. Aus tin in a speech to the commit tee, reaffirmed United States’ readiness to submit its atomic energy production to interna tional control. Austin said it was Russia's fault that international control of atomic weapons never came into being. He urged big-power cooperation on the atom and re asserted American support of the much debated Baruch plan for controls. The American people, Austin said, do not want a monopoly on atomic force. U. N. delegates, he continued, should focus the attention of the world on the need for a new spirit of coopera tion. He concluded his statement with a declaration: “Our offer still stands.” The atomic issue came up for debate on a candidate demand that a workable control system be set up. The important political com mittee of the U. N. General As sembly grappled with the atom as the Security Council prepar ed to face its greatest test—the Western charge that Soviet Rus sia is menacing world peace with her Berlin blockade. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton of Canada led off the western bat tle in the political committee to find out who is to blame for the Atomic Ener* * Commission’s failure to wipe out the atomic bomb after nearly three years of wrangling. _ The committee had before it three reports from the atomic commission recording their fail ure to agree. McNaughton pre sented a resolution calling upon “all nations to fulfill their re sponsibilities to the world com munity by accepting” effective control of atomic energy. General debate in the 58-na tion general assembly has been completed with the last policy statements by heads of delega tions. The assembly now has se parated itself into the six com ponent committees that will car ry the main load of business in the coming weeks. , 34th Year No. 18 Thursday, September 30 1948_5c Daily; 10c Sunday Roanoke Ramblings By Pat Nantz - Back to his duties in South Carolina, is Pvt.

Southern Textile Officials Told That Industry Must Constantly Make Adjustments In Production Charlotte, Sep. 30— (/P) — Southern combed yarn spinners j were left today with the coun- j sel that, while the textile indus- j try is in a strong position to withstand a lean period, produc-1 tion should be constantly adjust- : ed to demand. The retiring president of the Southern Combed Yarn Spinners Association, Elliott J. Neal of Gastonia, gave the association’s convention here yesterday this review of the industry’s posi tion: For two decades the industry made low or non-existent pro fits, below those for industry as a whole. Since 1939 earnings have been more favorable, en abling the industry for the first time to spend large sums on modernization and research. This, he said, has made the in dustry more efficient and able to produce at lower cost, and the movement toward integration in the last few years will be a sta bilizing influence on the market. He described the industry as being in the strongest position of any time in the last three de cades to “withstand a lean per iod if that is what we’re in for.” Earnings in the last few years, he said, have been made on “plants capitalized at very low valuations, whereas on today’s replacement value of plant and machinery, the profits would not have been abnormal” Mrs. Edwards Taken By Death Scotland Neck.—Mrs. Ella H.

Wallace Gels More Eggs In Houston Speech Houston, Tex., Sept. 30 —(AP) —Henry Wallace didn’t bother to duck as four eggs and two tomatoes crashed around him last night. Grinning through the uproar, he went on to deliver a speech before a mixed white and-negro audience estimated at 3,5000. The man who threw all — —or nearly all— of the m l les said he is a Merchant Sea man from Kulpmont, Pa., name John J. Stakiel. He didn’t hit Wallace once. Police took him outside and let him go. Meanwhile, inside Houston’s city auditorium, Wallace, progr essive Party Candidate for Pres ident was slashing away at rac ial segregation, Texas political leaders, big business, and the Truman Administration. Police estimated the size ol the crowd. Contrary to Texas custom, whites and negries sal together. They were perhaps equal in number. The people cheered Wallace and cheered Paul Robeson, th< Negro singer. There was a boc ing section, too.

Sept. 30—(AP)— “Phantom orders” for war goods already have been placed with American manufacturers—to b e filled only in case of armed con flict.

Hill, chairman of the National Security Resources Board, said last night. Addressing the Navy industrial association, Hill said recent Rus sian "duplicity” should serve as a warning to the United States to prepare for defense. Hill said the United States is handicapped in girding for a mythical war because “we ar/ never an aggressor with a known target date.” He said,, however, that his board has not “marked time waiting for military require ments.” Much has been done al ready toward planning for defense, he said, inviting indus trialist to help the resources board prepare its groundwork.

Report Shows Drop In Farmers “Real Income” Washington, Sept. 30—(AP)— Farmers’ "real income” fell in 1947 for the first time since be fore World War II, an Agricul tural Department specialist says. The drop occurred despite re cord farm earnings last year. The report is made by Nor man J. Wall of the Department’s Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics. In an article on farmers’ finances, he says: "The year 1947 may mark an important turning point in the farmers’ financial well-being. For the first time since before the war, farmers’ real income decreased. “After payment of federal in come taxes, the net income of farm operators in 1947 would buy six per cent less ‘family maintenance’ than would the smaller returns of 1946. "Since the beginning of 1948, prices paid by farmers have con tinued to increase more rapidly than prices received.” Noting that many farmers car ry a “heavy burden of debt as result of purchasing farms at sharply increased prices,” Wall adds: “For these, a decline in farm income could easily lead to financial difficulties.” Stern Gang Head Reported Arrested Tel Aviv, Israel, Sept. 30—(JP) —Reliable informants said todaj Israeli police have arrested Na than Friedman-Yellin, head oJ the Stern Gang.
