W lu-n Nixon Movt'd !ulo Swank' Home i ne story c>I liiH1, 11Sib.000 Nixoii subsidy came to light makes almost as interesting read ing as the story of the fund it self. Soon after Richard M. Nixon, now the Republican candidate for vice president, entered the Senate in January. 1951 it became evi dent to Washington observers that the junior Senator from Califor nia was living in a style far be- j yond that of a person who repeat edly emphasized that he had no incomt other than his $12,500 a year salary as a Senator and his S2.500 annual expense account. Rumors about Nixon's income cropped up from firm to time, especially after he moved from a $92-a-month apartment to a $41. 000 house in Spring Valley, one ot j Washington's more fashionable i sections Subsequent investiga-l tion has revealed that Nixon had $21,000 m his pocket for a down payment on his house when he [ bought it in June. 1951. Two newspaper reporters, a magazine writer and a newspaper columnist ran into rumors of a Nixon fund shortly aftei General Eisenhowei personally picked the Republican Senatoi as his run ning mate .

Othei counties which show good promise of completing their committees and canvassing are: Cumberland, P a m l i c o, Edge combe, Johnston, Bertie, Colum ous, Robeson, Gates, Lcnoii, Hal ifax, Iredell, Moore, Chatham, Union, Davie, Hertford, Ruther ford, Gaston, Pitt, Greene, and Stanley.

The best guarantee of Building Permanent Peace and Friendship is the food we send to the hungry overseas from the Christian people of America with no strings attach ed. An example of such giving was cited recently by a well known re lict worker, Dr. Reginal Helfi'er ich, of the Evangelical Reformed Church, when he reported that tax matters, that he ran a Nixon fund. About the same time Peter Edson, a Newspaper Enterprise Association columnist, talked to both Nixon and Smith and got details ol the fund. The story broke in afternoon papers on Sept. 16. It was eleai admission, given freely by the man who handled the money, and certainly it was one of the big news bleaks ot the campaign. Yet the Associated Press was unusunliv slow to rise to it. The AP did nothing about picking up the newspaper accounts, and fum bled around until midalternoon j trying instead to get Nixon's com ment on the Edson column before i carrying anything. By that time Stephen A Mitchell, chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee. was demanding that Nix’>r withdraw' from the GOP ticket, end the AP imported that Some newspapers ignored the story, and many otht rs played it down You had to look back to-, w ard the want-ads to find il that | first day. When additional facts about the lund were revealed, the extent to which Nixon and Ins "trustee," Smith, tried to eovei up the whole story became known. Smith first said $16,000 had hern contributed to the fund. A lew days later he put the figure j at $16,235. At first Smith said no one person gave more than $500 to tiie fund. Later he admitted that I one donm had contributed $1,000. FOR Immediate Sale Or \\ ill (.oiiKidcr Trade For Small One-Slor> Dome THE C. G.

Security Checks Being Increased —<*>~— ■ This week will bring increased social security cheeks to about 4086 aged people ill the Rocky Mount service area and to 11190 dependent children of retired workers and young survivors of workers who have died, according to Marshall Barney, manager of the Rocky Mount social security office. Benefit checks mailed dur ing the tost week of October will lie at a monthly rate of $217,287 in the fifteen counties served by Rocky Mount. Increases of from $5 to $8.60 each month will go to most retir ed workers who receive old-age insurance payments Dependents of these retired workers and sur vivors of workers who have died will also receive increased bene fits in most cases. Increases in payments to dependents and sur vivors, however, will be smaller than the increases for retired woi kers usually from $2 to $f>. Barney pointed out that al though several members of a fam ily may receive monthly pay ments based on the social securi ty account of a retired or deceas ed worker, the law sets limits on the total amount of monthly pay ments to the family Family pay ments are limited to 80 per cent of thi' worker's average monthly wage oi to $168.75, whichever is less. Because each benefit is paid in multiples of 10 cents, actual than these figures in some cases.) than these figures in come cases.) A few families receiving bene fits that amounted to 80 per cent o! thi' worker s average montlify wage before the law was changed will receive no increases. 1953 M heat Cools Will lie Hvduvvd Considerably -- Secretary of Agriculture Charles F Brannan has asked farmers to reduce their 1958 wheat crop by about 170,000,000 bushels, by cut ting their fall planting. A produc tion goal of 1,080,000,000 bushels has been set, compared with 1, 250,000,000 bushels estimated for this year. Carolina in 1951 was 19.317,987. Approximately 15 million pine tree seedlings are available to Tar Heels for planting this full and winter. “Addition of powdered milk to the starvation of 5,000 refugees in a camp at Kassipur, India, brought down the death rate from 40 a day to one a day.

CROP ship ped 200,000 pounds of powdered milk, six carloads of rice and oth er food to the Kassipur camp. ‘Although the gift was small,’ said Prime Minister Nehru in ac cepting it, The help was immed iate.' ” Brief News Notes On World's Front Power production in the United | States set an all-time high record during the year ending July 31, according to a Federal Power Cummission report just made public. The year’s production was 386,534,118,000 kilowatt hours. The government reported on September 4 that deliveries of planes, tanks, guns, and ammuni tion, including some 140 different items for defense, reached a new peak in July, showing an increase in money value of about $2,000, 000,000 over tne June production. Deliveries of aircr.^t, for ex ample, were "substantially above" eight hundred units. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis reported on Sep tember 5 that this year's polio epidemic is the worst yet, with 23,436 cases in the nation to Au gust 30, and new cases being re ported at the rate of more than three hundred a week. The fig ures as of that date were seven ty-five percent higher than the average for the previous five years. The Congressional Joint Com mittee on Reduction of Nonessen tial Federal Expenditures reports that one out of every twenty-foui of the 62,000,000 wage earners in the United States is on the feder al payroll. A study of corporate giving, ] made by the Russell Sage Foun i dation and made public on Sep tember 7 showed gifts by corpora tions rose from a level of $30, 000,000 in 1936 to a plateau of more than $200,000,000 every yeai since 1944. Indications are that the 1951 total was more than j $300,000,000. The Federal Security Agency announces that beginning in Oc tober Social Security payments will rise for most retired workers by $5 each or twelve and one-half percent, whichever is greater. The total increase will amount to about $22,000,000. The Department of Commerce in Washington reports that the annual rate of personal income in the United States declined $2, 500.000,000 in July because of the ! fifty-five day steel strike which I ended July 26. Farm and other incomes, it was stated, remained ! at the near record level of pre | vious months. A report to the American In stitute of Biological Sciences says that the American oak. regarded as one of the country’s noblest trees as well as one of its most important natural resources, is threatened with extinction by a j new fungus disease known as oak wilt. Discovered ten years ago, the disease is said to have spread I alarmingly through many states. In September the Defense de partment issued a draft call for j 47,000 men for the army. The call I brings the total called to the na tion's armed services since Sep tember, 1950, to 1,107,430.

Stalks In Field Need Removing Look at your tobacco fields and . u will in St likely see the stalks land suckers dying worse in some I -ixi’-jjhan tehee-, or whoic field the suckers may be dying prematurely. This general ly is an indication of nematode trouble, according to R. R. Ben nett, Estate Coiiege Extension To bacco Specialist. In some seasons, the trouble might partially be due to early maturity in light, sandy, spots, or the leaching of plant food in sandy areas, or too much water in poor ly drained soils. This year most of the trouble can be attributed lo the destruction of the plant roots by nematodes of one kind or another. As soon as the tobacco is har vested, the tobacco plant roots should be burned out of the ground and exposed to the hot sun and drying winds, Bennett advises. A large turning plow' or “mid dle buster," u*ing one furrow to tiie row. is a good tool with which to do the job. Growers who are just cutting the stalks or who are cutting their fields with a disc harrow feeling that this is suffi cient, are building a false sense of security, the specialist asserts. The stubbles must be turned out, left to dry a few days, and then turned over with a drag harrow SLAB WOOD for SALE HALF PRICE DURING SUMMER, MONTHS.

Most growers will prefer to cut the stalks with a stalk cutter prior to turning the roots out of the ground with a turning plow or middle buster. Stubbles should be turned out from the field, because at this time cf the year nematodes are laying eggs and multiplying very rapid!.'.’ Leaving the shdk" -tor several days may result in the further development of one or j two generations of broods of the nematodes that are present. Root Knot and other nematode diseases are one of North Caro lina’s most serious tobacco prob lems. Turning out the stubbles I now is just one of the means of fighting this nematode problem and should be used to support the effectiveness of crop rotation.
