Co-Ops and CP&L To Obtain Power From Government Wheeling Contract Between Government and Caro iina Firm Executed In Washington tnis ween, tne Government announced the signing ! of a contract settling a years-long dispute that has kept North Caro : iina electric cooperatives from buy ' ing power from the Federal Kerr dam on the Roanoke River The Southeastern Power Admin istration said the contract caiis for ; Carolina Power and Light Compa ny. Raieigh. to transmit 90,000 kilo watts of Kerr power to coopera ! tives and municipalities in the company's service area. , The pact aiso provides that the company gets about the same amount—30.000 kiiowatts—for di rect sale. The dispute over the cooperatives and municipaiities getting Kerr power stemmed from the fact they j have no transmisson iines to the 'dam white CP&L does. This situa t tion has produced long stalemates etsewhere. notably in the Georgia controversy over distribution of power from Ciark Hill Dam on the Savannah River. The cooperatives and municipali ! ties had maintained that, as pref erence customers guaranteed a pri ority to federal power by law. they should be sold the power. Then, they argued, they would arrange with CP&L for Its transmission. CP&L, until recent negotiations, had objected to this — proposing that it buy the power and then re sell it to the preference customers. * The settlement announced ap pears to be a combination of both proposals—CP&L transmits 30,000 kilowatts for the cooperatives and gets to buy directly a like amount Secretary of the Interior McKay said the company agreed to supply the deficiency firming energy t o preferred agencies within a 105 mile area when low water condi tions occur at the dam if the agen cies do not own or operate gener ating facilities. The contract provides that firm ing energy—which is needed by preferred agencies having no gen erating capacity of their own—will be sold directly by the company to those agencies at 4:5 mills a kilo watt hour. This is the same rate at which cooperatives in the Virginia Elec tric & Power Co. service area of Virginia and North Carolina, buy such energy and the same rate at which project energy is sold in both the Carolina and the Virginia Company service area. McKay aded that applications for power from preferred agencies in the CP&L service area far exceed the 30.000 kilowatts which is pro duced. Foreign Boyers Object to Po!e, Stick Tobacco Marketing Specialist Says 1955 Crop Not Accept able to Export Trade WASHINGTON. — An Agricul ture Department marketing spe cialist said foreign buyers object to purchasing United States fiue-cur ed tobacco bacause a high percen tage of the 1955 crop is phle and slick" ieaf. "Pale and slick" is a term used to describe tobacco that has a pap ery structure, pale color, and is tacking in flavor and aroma. The department announced Dec 2 it plans to discount 1956-crop "pale and slick" tobaccos that may be offered for government loans. The warning statement was made by Hugh C. Ktger. foreign agricul tural service tobacco specialist, re cently returned from a European tour to promote use of U. S. to bacco. Kiger said European tobacco im porters over the years have pre ferred U. S. flue-cured tobacco and that tobacco exports to Weestem Europe in 1956-56 are expected to be larger than in 1954-55. Flue cured is the chief export type of American tobacco and is important in many European countries which use no non-tobacco flavoring in their blends. Kiger described the pale and slick" problem as "serious." He said Europeans prefer non-Ameri can flue-cured to the U. 8. "pale and slick " He said exports of U 8. burley tobacco to Europe should increase as the use of tobacco products in crease. if a lighter, milder leaf is available at a price which is com petitive with light air-cured tobac co from other areas. An expansion in feeding opera tion and a plentiful supply of fed beef, is forecast for the first six months of 1956. i..-— Loans on cam in North Carolina are available through ARC from time of harvest through Feb. 29, 1966. Uses Caution j AOM. LEWIS STRAUSS, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commis } sion, warns that he may have to j be guarded in his testimony be fore the Senate anti-monopoiy subcommittee in Washington. As hearings were reopened on the controversial Dixon-Yates pow er contract. Strauss made his statement because he said the contract may be subject to court action. Charges of "conflict of interests" in negotiating it have been made. f Internationa!) Business !s Feeting Squeeze of Fatting Prices, Says Scoff ROCKY MOUNT. Dec. 8—Sena tor W. Kerr Scott deciared here Tuesday night that small business men are feeling the squeeze of fall ing farm prices. Scott urged small businessmen and farmers to "stand together" in efforts to increase farm income. The Tar Heel Senator, addressing a joint meeting of the Rocky Mouht Chamber of Commerce and civic clubs, pointed out that rarm pros perity and business prosperity go hand in hand. "For this reason," Scott said, "any system of farm price supports is a system ot price supports for smati business aiso. It is a back stop for each and every merchant and businessman. " In calling for increased farm in come. Hcott accused the Eisenhow er administration of substituting fancy slogans and catchy phrases ' for action in soiving the nations farm problems Scott said the Eisenhower ad- j ministration. dominated by big business, acts as if the present ! farm recession is going to stop at the city limits " Citirig figures he said were indi cations that failing farm prices are already squeezing smaii business. Scott said: "Last year, for instance, business failures among corporations with ! liabilities of 100 thousand and one million dollars declined 16 per cent. ' At the same time, failure among businesses with liabilities of less' than five thousand dollars in creased by 1 per cent." Scott also pointed out that many of the nation's larger corporations increased their profits by over 100 per cent in the past year. "6nly a few yearn ago." he said, "when farmers and smaii business men were better off than they are ] now. it was cailed inflation. To- ; day, when the corporation giants are gobbiing up smaii business and farmers are struggling to make j ends, meet, we are toid that it is booming prosperity." The Senator said positive action was needed by Congress to hait failing farm prices and put addi tional purchasing power into the hands of farmers. "As the smaii farmer increases * his purchasing power, there is a j direct related increase in the amount of retail sates and the rate of general business activity. For this reason. I think it is essential for all businessmen to show a real and direct interest in the kind of farm program Congress works out next year. Any way you figure it.' small business has a compelling interest in all farm legislation," he said. Mt. Markham, highest known peak on the Antarctic continent, is approximately 15.100 feet.
