Truman Gives
Outline Os What
Must Be Done
Washington, Jan. 6. —Highlights of
President Truman's radio address
of last Thursday night were:
I. Labor-management disputes—
"ln setting up of fact-finding boards,
I here is nothing harmful to labor . ..
on the other hand there is nothing
harmful to management ... I had
hoped the Congress either would
follow my recommendations or would
at least propose a solution of its
own. It has done neither ... I have
indicated my opposition, and I re
peat it now, to the anti-labor bills
pending in the Congress which seek
to deprive labor of the right to bar
gain collectively. .
2. The Congress—"l seek no con
flict with the Congress. I earnestly
desire cooperation with the Con
gress ... It is the committees which
hold up action on bills . . . Often a
bare majority of a committte—a
handful of men—can prevent a vote
by the whole Congress on these mat
ters of majority policy. What the
American people want is action."
3. Full employment—“A satisfac
tory full employment bill was pass
ed by the Senate. Another bill was
passed by the House of Representa
tives which is not at all acceptable
... It is most important that the
(Senate-House) conferees report a
satisfactory bill immediately . . .”
4. Federal unemployment insur
ance benefits—" While unemploy
ment has not reached anything like
the level which was feared, there
still is need to provide at least some
measure of subsistence to those men
and women who do lose their jobs
by the end of war production."
5. Fair Employment Practices
Committee— "Legislation making
permanent the Fair Employment
Practices Committee would carry out
a fundamental American ideal . . .
A small handful of Congressmen in
the Rules Committee of the House
have prevented this legislation from
reaching a vote by the Congress.”
6. Minimum wages—“ There still
are millions of workers whose in
comes do not provide a decent stand
ard of living . . . Although hearings
have been held on this question
in the Congress, no action has been
taken.” ' i
7. Housing—“We urgently need

Stalin Has

Moscow, Jan. 6.—Generalissino
Stalin has been nominated for rc

Stalin automobile factory district of
Moscow.
The supreme soviet, Russia's par

Observers said Stalin's unanimous

Prior to the last election, many

o
Fertilizer To
Be Marked for
Chlorine (onfenf
Raleigh.—Despite strong opposi
tion from agronomists and agricul
tural leaders, the state board of ag
riculture on Thursday amended its
regulations to allow the sale of to
bacco fertilizer with “excessive"
amounts of chlorine content.
It directed, however, that fertili
zer with more than three per cent
chlorine be labelled with a yellow
tag, designating that the fertilizer
does not comply with recommenda
tions of the board and of the North
j Carolina experiment station.
I The board thus paved the way
| for tlie Smith-Douglas Fertilizer
j company of Norfolk, Va„ to market
| approximately 35,000 tons of fertili
| zer in North Carolina having a
j chlorine content of 3.5 per cent.
Ralph Douglas, president of the
i company, who yesterday challenged
| the board’s authority “to tell fertili
i zer manufacturers what and how
| much ingredients they can put into
j fertilizer," said his company would
not contest the board’s ruling as
long as it did not direct that red
tags be used. Red tags arc normally
used on low-quality fertilizers.
Douglas had told a special com
! mittce of the board, including
Claude T. Hall, of Woodsdalc, ap
| pointed to hear charges against the
1 company alleging “excessive use of
chlorine in violation of regulations,"
that his company would discontinue
the use of chlorine if allowed to sell
the 35,000 tons of fertilizer already
manufactured with it.
The rule allowing increased chlo
rine content is effective only for
the 1946 growing season, and directs
that it be applied only to tobacco
fertilizers. Other companies mav
sell the 3.5 per cent fertilizer, but
also must use yellow tags.
Agriculture agronomists told the
board today that while a small
amount of chlorine helps tobacco
growth, "an excessive amount (over
three per cent) produces tobacco
which is brittle, soggy, and of a
none-too-good burning 4uality."
The board said it was opposed to
the use of too much chlorine con
tent “because it tends to lower the
quality of North Carolina tobacco."
It added that research had shown
that excessive use of the Ingredient
“shows principally during the grow
ing and handling season."

Concerning Japan, he said that
many of the natives are . properly
submissive and are going ahead with
full cooperation with the occupying
forces of U. S. Troops. Some few
Japs he described as being of insub
ordinate disposition under a mask of
courtesy and formality. He said also
that there is some room for criticism
of the American military admini
stration and occupation policy, just
as there apparently can be some
justified criticism of the same policy
in Europe. Japan, he thinks, how

The Service center had good at

who added that services of the

as they are needed. The Center has
financial support from the national
USO and it is not regarded as like

the concurrence of the surgeon gen

A check with Camp Butner offi

It was pointed out last night that

Highway Commissioner A. H.
i (Sandy) Graham said that roads
and highways were being put back
into good condition as fast as pos
sible, but that lain and snow in the
western part of the state caused a
set-back today.
Paul Reid, controller of the de
partment of education, said some
schools would remain closed until
Monday, due to slippery roads which
have frozen over. He said most of
these schools are in western North
: Carolina.
Carolina Power and Light com

ber weather seriously damaged some
of its properties in Asheville, the
worst time being Christmas day.
Prior to that, some damage was re
ported around Canton and Hazel
wood, where the wind blew numer
ous frees over power lines.
Officials reported, however, that
in every instance where damage was
reported, repairs were completed
within 24 hours. Damage was kept
down in other C. P. and L. areas
through the use of a new instru
ment which determines the amount
of ice forming on lines. When the
formation becomes too thick, the
current is "juggled," thus overload

Duke Power officials said they had
no serious weather damage.

ages Morgan Street
Residence.
j Reported here over the week-end
j were at least four wrecks, ranging
from head-on collisions to leaving
the highway and turning over. Most
| serious of the crashes late last night?
about eleven-thirty, resulted in ex
j tensive damages to a Morgan street
residence, the occupants of which
probably escaped injury because of
the fact that they had gone to bed
in another room.
The Morgan street crash occurred
when a heavy sedan driven by Pfc.
j Gordon Wilkerson, 19, of Roxboro
i and Fort Bragg, home on leave and
j a son of Mr. and Mrs, Emmitt Wil

i field and: finally struck a side Wall
of the living room of the R. P,
1 Michaels residence, crashing into it
and tearing out the wall and floor.
The car reportedly was off the street
lor 300 feet.
Wilkerson, who was injured only
slightly, said he was taking J. A.
j McWhorter, Jr„ home, that his
' brakes failed as he came close to a
slower ear and that he turned right
towards the Michaels house because
an oncoming car prevented his go
ing to the left. McWhorter, a Wash
ington and Lee student, was injured
(only slightly. It was the second time
since the holidays that he had been
occupant of a car involved in a
traffic affair.
Michaels*owner of the residence,
said this afternoon that he could
j give no estimate of the damage.
The Wilkerson car was all but to
