Economic Highlights
It Doesn't Pay to Be Top
Communist , Report Shows
It doesn’t always pay to be a
top-flight Communist it may,
indeed, lead to swift oblivion. That
is the gist of an article in the June
20 issue of U. S. News & World
Report, which starts: “It is begin
ning to dawn upon Communist
leaders outside of Russia that may
be there isn’t much future in their
jobs. Competition for the No. 1
spot in the Communist hierarchy
is tending to decline as a result.”
Makes One Slip
The article deals with what has
happened to many a one-time
Communist big shot who for one
reason or another displeased the
super big shot, Stalin. As a typical
example, the eight-step career of
Comrade X is given. As a youth
he takes part in street riots and
battles with the police. He joins a
socialist organization, becomes an
important figure in it, and ins in
strumented in turning it Commu
nist. He spends several years in a
Balkan prison as a convicted revo
lutionary. On his release he goes
to Russia, meets Stalin, and is giv
en intensive Communist training.
He goes back home as a party
organizer and serves some more
time in prison. He spends the war
as a guerilla leader and after-
Fish New Member

Jim Fish, teacher and coach at
Wakelon School and director of
the Zebulon Recreation Program,
was presented his pin and welcom

Rotary Club Friday night by Ed
Ellington, former president of the
group.
The new member expressed his
appreciation for being invited to
join the group and pledged his
support in promoting Rotary ideals.

wards plays a major role in turn
ing his country over to Commu
nism and Kremlin domination.
Then he makes a slip and exe
cution follows, perhaps after a
flambouyant trial.
U. S. News cites a number of
cases, past and current, in which
this pattern has been followed al
most to the letter. Rudolph Slan
sky did a great job for Commun
ism in the Czechoslovakia sell
out he’s now awaiting trial for !
treason and you don’t need to be
much of a seer to forecast what his
end will be. Traicho Rostov did
the party’s work in Bulgaria he
was hanged a year and a half ago
after being charged with plotting
against the Communists. Laszlo
Rajk served the Kremlin well in
Hungary, then made what Stalin
regarded as a misstep and also
wound up at the end of a rope.
Interesting Case
An interesting current case is
Rumania’s incredible Ana Pauker,
who once was one of the most
revered of all non-Russian Com
munists, and who was practically
a buddy of Satlin’s. As U. S. News 1
says, “She was so faithful to the
party line that people joked about i
it said she carried an umbrella
in sunny Bucharest every time
it rained in Moscow.” It is gener
ally believed that she had her hus
band executed for deviating from
that line. Now she has been accus
ed of similar deviations, and has
been fired as Rumania’s party
leader. It hardly seems likely that
Mrs. Pauker has a very bright fu
ture to look forward to.
Lost Usefulness
Many pages could be given to
listing the names and records of
people who faithfully and fanati
cally carried out Stalin’s orders,
who slipped, or in the Kremlin’s
view, lost their usefulness, and
were then accused, imprisoned,j
and finally executed by their ex
friends. Just how dampening an
effect this may be having on the .
Communists who are still in pow- '
er in the satellite nations is one of
those questions that no one can

Organic Matter
Pays on Land
During Drought
G. L. Winchester
S. W. Holleman
John F. Mcßane
Millard Ferrell says the addition
of organic matter to tobacco land
pays because it has continued to
grow during the drought we are
having. Mr. Ferrell turned a sod
of tall fescue on some of his to
bacco land. On the other part of
his tobacco land his tobacco fol
lowed corn. The tobacco on the sod
land has suffered less and is larg
er than where it followed corn.
Millard is sowing five acres of
tall fescue in rotation this fall.
•
The test on tobacco rotations at
the Soil Conservation Experiment
Station located at Shotwell in
Wake County offers definite proof
that tobacco following small grain
and grass is a good soil conserva
tion practice as well as paying off
at the warehouse. The plot of to
bacco following small grain and
tall fescue or Redtop is as good or
better than any of the other crop
ping systems. •
H. V. Faulkner of Knightdale
says that cultivating tobacco on the
contour with a tractor cultivator
is easier on the tractor and the op
erator than crossing the terraces.
He says the few times he turns
around in the field are more than
paid for in the increased amount of
water that is absorbed by the soil
due to his rows running around the
hill rather than “up and down”
the slope. •
According to Marsh Knott, Dis
trict Supervisor of Wendell, N. C.,
the above two practices will no
doubt pay handsome dividends by
reducing diseases and conserving
soil and water.

State Agencies
Agree on Plan
Aiding Forestry
Two State agencies have reach
ed an agreement aimed at promot
ing better forestry practices in
North Carolina and at the same
time eliminating duplication of ef
fort that has occurred from time
to time, George R. Ross, director
of the State Department of Conser
vation and Development, announc
ed today.
The understanding as to coordi
nating their joint efforts in con
nection with farm forestry and
other forestry activities was reach
ed and agreed to by Ross, State
Forester Fred H. Claridge and D.
S. Weaver, director, North Caroli
na Agricultural Extension Service.
Conferences looking toward ar
rival at such an understanding
have been held for some time by
the officials of the two State agen
cies and they, according to Ross,
believe the agreement, which sets
out the duties to be performed by
the two groups, will result in not
only better service to landowners
I of the State but also in savings of
funds allotted for forestry work.
| Interests of each agency ar eclear
ly set forth in the agreement reach
ed between the two agencies.
Coordinate Efforts
Both agencies agree to coordi
nate their efforts along the follow
ing lines:
A. Development and use of au
dio-visual aids on forestry sub
jects, such as motion pictures, ra
dio and printed matter.
B. Promotion of the State’s re
forestation and forest protection
program among farm people.
C. The identification of insect
and disease outbreaks in farm
woodlands and recommendations
for their control.
D. Instruction and advice to in
dividual farm owners on how to
achieve good forest management
practices.
E. The establishment of demon
-1 stration forests for operation by
agricultural schools or classes or
other groups of rural people.
It was also agreed that when
either agency contemplates under
takfhg any new major projects
such as expansion into new for
est subject matter fields or the set
ting up of additional job projects
they will confer so as to avoid
misunderstanding,
