Ships Can Carry Cargoes Repeal Of Neutrality Act Follows President s Appeal American merchant ships may now . carry cargoes through war zones into, the harbors oif belliger ent natioas. Already guns are be ing mounted on merchant ships that will be free to carry an ever increasing stream of food and mu nitions to those peoples resisting itwasion and fighting Hitlerism, On last Thursday afternoon, fol lowing a dramatic last minute ap peal from President Roosevelt, the Congress voted 212 to 194, to re peal section '3 of the neutrality act, which had already been passed by the Senate, ' prohibiting American vassals from entering combat zones. The House and Senate had al ready passed the ' revision of sec tio,n 2, which now enables mer chant ships to.be armel.' President's Letter A letter from the President was read Thursday morning by Speaker Rayburn to the House following a threatened bolt by Democratic members because of dissatisfahtion with the President's . handling of the strike situation. Had defeat come to this vital issue the Ad ministration's foreign policy would have suffered a. prestige-shattering deeat, the warring nations a stun ning blow and Hitler's legions would have scored one o their greatest victories of the war. The President's appeal stemmed 'the tide of revolt and passed the j bill by a small but safe majority. He based his appeal on three ele- menLs. continued sinking of Amer ican ships; continuous voyages to j all ports necessary to increase sup ! ply of food and munitions to na tions fighting Hitlerism; and the decisian already reached by con gress that our supply lines must be strengthened to keep Hitler ism away from the Americas. The president pointed out that the British Empire, China and Russia would be weakened in food. munitions and morale, by our fail ure to repeal the sections of the neutrality act and that failure would cause rejecting of the axis nations, bolstering their aggres sions. The president said failure would weaker our domestic situation and "our great effort to produce all we possibly can and as. rapidly as we can. Strike?. and stoppages of work would become less serious in the minds of the public." . Se It Thiwufh In regard to the coal miners' strike and other labor troubles. the president said: I am holding a conference to morrow in the hope that certain ssertial coal mines man remain in JoJlelievt T. mom Passed br censor To War Zones continuous operation. This may prove successful. "But if it is not successful it is obvious that this coal must be mined in order to keep (the essen tian steel mills at work. .The gov ernment of the United States has the backing of the overwhelming majority of the people of the Unit ed States, including the workers. "The 'government proposes to See this thing through." Secretary of State Hull reinforc ed the president's, appeal in a let ter. that .stated that the action was "absolutely essential to our national defense. All North Carolina members vot ed for repeal except Rep. Dough ton and Barderu. Rep. Richards of South Carolina, who was one of the leadets in the revolt because of the failure of the president to settle strikes, he said, was the only member from his state to vote against repeal. Of the 53 Democrats who voted "no" only 11 were Southerners, not so large as the administration feared. Re publicans voting for repeal were 22. State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q. What kinds of vessels are best for curing pork? A. Ellis Vestal, extension swine specialist, says oak barrels or large stone jars are the, most satisfac tory vessels for curing. A clean container is absolutely essential for successful meat curing. This should always be washed out and thor oughly scalded before using. "Kill ing and Curing Meat on the Farm,' a folder containing valuable infor mation, may- be secured without charge by writing to the Agricul tural . Editor, State college, Ral egh. Q. Will turkey growers have any trouble moving this year's heavy crop? ". A. C F.- Parrsh, extension pouitrymaiv figures that the in crease in employment and wages will take up most of the slack that might otherwise have hindered the movement of this year's turkey crop. Also he believes the grower will get more for his turkeys since food prices have advanced gener ally over the country. Q. How much silage should be fed during the winter? A. John A. Arey, extension dairy man, says silage should be fed lib erally during the winter months. Cows will consume about . three pounds a day for each 100 pounds of liveweight. For instance,, a 1,-000-pound cow will eat about 30 pounds of silage a day. Many good dairymen feed their grain ration mixed in the manger with the sil age. ' State Farmers Urged To Order Chicks Now The Government' call for am 11 percent increase in egg production in 1942 is a direct hint to North Carolina farmers to place their ordersfor baby chicks early, says C F.

Nathan Hale, who gave his life for America, like great num bers of his fellow countrymen. We are only asked to lend our., dollars for Defense Bonds and Stamps to defend the liberty for which they died. Q. Where I work there is no pay-roll allotment plan for the buy ing of. Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps! How can I get one start ed? - A. This depends on youe position, and the kind of organization in which you are employed. Generally speaking, your immediate superior would be the proper person to re ceive your suggestion that you would like to have a voluntary pay roll allotment plan introduced.

Drum's First Army sweat and groan as they "handle shells for the big guns during the November battles in the Carolines, and their exertions are real and not simulated for maneuver pur noses: Ten thousand tons of sand have taken care of that. Col. Lucian B. Moody, First Army Ordnance Officer, lung has been dissatisfied with practices in past maneuvers in which it was often assumed that ammunition felt like manna from the skies. Realism was what was'wanted in the Firs Army Maneuvers, 1941; and realism Colonel Moody is going to have. Actual truck columns will rush the ammunition cases to the gun emplacements. The cases will ap proximate as nearly as possible in weight and volume those which in actual combat con-tain the live am munition. Maneuver umpires have explicit instructions to allow no fire credit unless the real quan tities of. ammunition containers re quired are on hand at the guns. These, rigid ammunition regula tions . wdl necessitate a stead stream of supply trucks and com bat trains flowing to and from front and rear areas. Real ammu nition dumps will be constructed To frther instill realism any short ages in ammunitiom-carrying ve .hides will be considered the re suit of battle losses. Thus, some units will be forced to send the ammunition trucks on three or four trips to the supply source be fore the needed requirements have been obtained. college poultryman s-aid farmers should make every effort to obtain stock that is "bred to lay." This is important in any year but will be even more vital in 1942 in view of Uncle Sam's request for more eggs. ' Under production goals set up for the nation, North Carolina is expected to produce 65,120,000 doz en eggs next year as a part of the nationwide food-for-freedom pro gram. This is an 11 per cent in crease over the estimated prodUc tion for 1941. While called on to help supply a part of the eggs needed by the British, North Carolina would do well to produce more eggs fpr her own people, Parnsh said. In some cases: Parrish said. farmers are finding it profitable to exchange old hens for chicks and feed. MICKIE SAYS WE JEST IOVE TO I HAV FOLKS BRMG NEWSWHEU IT js AEWS, AW BEFORE IT BECOME?
