Britishers Think This Country Too Feoriul Of Reds Briton'* Spy Cases Heven’l Shaken Confidence Of The Public London.—Is there a fear of communism in the United States that spills far Deyond the bounds of good reason? The British peo ple are convinced there is. This belief—heard frequently here—represents one of the dis turbing factors causing friction between the two great allies of World War II. After years of the cold war, the major .English-speaking pew* ers have not yet found a common ground of understanding on the best way to deal with commun ism. This is a mujor weakness in efforts to build a united front against, the Communists. **5JdAvr/niw««R». * tish are too soft'-policy is bordering on appeasement side, a good many Britons think- the American attitude is too tough, that it is dictated by unreasonable fear, and that it carries a threat of starting another war. ‘Curious’ Attitude There is to be found in this country,too, a curious attitude (curious to an American) which seems to accept the British Com munist Party as a sort of joke that really has no dangerous con nection with international com munism. This attitude seems to imply that communism in Ameri ca actually is a different brand of communism than that found in Britain. One Englishman told me: "Communism is different in the United States. You are the main : target of the Communists because ■ you are the most powerful coun try, and you have the secrets they | want. The Communist have con centrated against you more than ! they have against us.” I And then he added: “You real | ize, of course, that America is a i country of many nationalities, i These people may not feel their real loyalty is to the United ; States—but to another country. jOver here, we are British, and j Britain comes first.” Repeated View Oddly enough, this thinking (Continued on Page Eight) Suffers Serious I Hurt In Accident I —*— I James H.

Benson Ordered Drastic Changes In Farm Program -- Whoa I Gets The Axe, Pea nuts Amt Tobaeeo Are Saitt To Be Next Washington.—Secretary of Ag riculture Benson today ordered a further cutback of 111 per cent in Wheat-planting for the 1955 crop and called a grower referendum for July 23 to approve rigid mar keting quotas to enforce planting goals. Benson also announced perhaps the strictest controls in the history of American farming to prevent the production of new crop sur pluses. The government now has about 6 1-2 billion dollars invest ed in farm surpluses, mainly wheat, cotton, corn, and dairy pro ducts. The wheat reduction comes on top ol a 17 percent decrease in this year's wheat acreage. Witli the harvest of this year’s crop, the nation will have a two-year sup ply of this bread grain. Tin' secretary is expected to an nounce later similar control pro grams for next year’s cotton, ma jor types of tobacco, peanuts, coin, and sugai crops — all of which lace surplus production problems. The rigid overall controls an nounced by Benson are designed to keep extra wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, peanut and sugar crop land from being diverted to the prediction of excessive supplies .ropr •vjt+i'mmmtm beans, flax.-ei d. oai-.rye, .barley, potatoes, dry beans and vegeta bles. Under this program, farmers will b( required to comply with federal planting allotments for all crops for which allotments arc made in order to be eligible for price support aid on any crop. Allotments are now planned lor wheat, cotton, major types of to bacco, peanuts and sugar crops. In addition, farmers whose al lotments call for a total reduction of more than 10 acres in the allot ment crops will have to comply with a “total acreage allotment” for their farms in order to get price supports. > The total acreage allotment will include all crop acreage allot ments established for the farm and the 1953 acreages or adjusted acreages of all other crops on the farm except hay, cover crops, (Continued on Page Eight) Plan Tour Of Research Farm A farm tour will be held at tin Coastal Plains Vegi table Kcsearcli Farm at Faison, N on Tliurs I day of tins week, beginning at I :.'I0 |i. in., and ending at 4:90 p. in j Those attending will have an op ! portunity to observe research be ing conducted on the following | crops: cantaloupes, cucumbers, lima bea is, snap beans, Irish po 1 f j.|4on<f .■ • y *- • s\«y< ?V«. i.ni <* ■. • J..' tMf,: j,*, ....» .. *■>« "»»« .. tatoes, sweet corn, tomatoes, and watermelons.

W Brady Predicts Peanut • _^ Farmers To Lose -Progtam-BeneSi —•— Republicans Propose to Cut About $40 From The Support Price Washington. — North Carolina peanut growers should brace themselves for either a removal of minimum acreage allowances, a switch from the old parity price of $272 per ton to a moderhized parity price of $230 per ton or flexible supports Congressman Harold D. Cooley of Nashville warned today. Cooley, ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, predicted that one of the three proposals, or a similar one, will be included in the agriculture bill being drawn up by his com mittee. By Candy Maker This action by the committee would be u move to meet a con certed organized effort made on behalf of the candy manufactur ers of the country to amend tin existing law to provide that pea nuts no longer would be consider ed a basic commodity. "The rumors are thick and fast that an effort to this effect is un der way," Cooley said. "I am ap prehensive, afraid that some ol my colleagues might be out tc ambush us next week when wr present the farm bill unles wi take steps ourselves.” Cooley has called a meeting ol Peanut Stabilization Corporator directors and managers, members of Congress; from peahut-growinj 1 states, and farm leaders fmn | these states, for noon Wednesday m Room 1308, now House Offici Building. "If on Wednesday, we can agrci on some amendment, I am sun i the members of the Agriculture ] Committee will go along with us,' j he assorted. "We are pressed foi jtime, The administration is driv j ing f'ii a farm bill to in■ uiough ! to the floor." Not Fust tCnougli He continued: "Our farmers have indicator 1 their willingness tu cooperate am ibnng production in line with eon I sumer demands, but they haven ! done tins as rapidly'as requested I regret that we are under sue! pressure. The time now is limiter lor consideration of this impor taut matter, but am anxious foi peanut producers of North Caro lina to know what the situation i: as I see it at the moment." "1 frankly admit it is difficul to defend a program which ha: resulted in such substantial loss es and under which we are eon turning losses, and to mamtaii we have the right to continue t« produce 15 to 20 per cent more peanuts than the trade will con sume," said Cooley. He pointer! out that producer: got themselevs into the presen situation by producing a crop es sential to the war effort, and tlia they were urged to expand pro riuetion past the edible need be [cause peanut oil was greath needed According to Cooley, "since 10-4 ttie total accumulated loss on pea nuls, under the support program lias been $120 million. This iloesn’ include other federal funds usei in the diversified programs. Oi the 1053 crop a loss of $17 miilioi was taken.

I " ~ ~ ** Benson's Action In Farm Program Is Under Attack Cooley Says Secretary Is Aiiiliiishiiifc American Farmers -<t> Washington.—Secretary </ Ag riculture E/a Benson "is ambush ing the American farmer” with weapons that are not in the law, Congressman Harold D. Cooley of Nashville lashed out yesterday. Harshly criticizing Benson's ac tion m ordering a 12 percent cut back m 1955 wheat production and setting up stiff across the board farm controls, the North Carolin ian said, ‘The rules and regula tions he says he has found never were in the law and never were intended to be there." "Tliis all means that Secretary Benson will become the dictator and czar on every farm in Ameri ca and lie'll control every acre of a farmer’s cropland. He is at tempting to exercise control and regimentation on the American farmer in a manner heretofore un heard of," lie continued. According to Cooley, 'under the diverted acres program, there will be 30,000,000 acres of American farmland which hi' is attempting to force into cover crops, green manure crops, pasture or into idle cropland. To force his program ■i cyi us, he intends to withhold all I supports, loans and all aids of ev ery kind from the American farm er unless he complies completely with the rules and regulations he has laid down.” He added: "To say the least, this is amazing, coming from a jnnn who has spoke^^nujhu and moil' v in 111 ■ i ous I s m opposition tu controls and icgimenls than am other man in America." ! Cooley said the "most signifi cant thing of it all” is the fact that ■ Secretary#Benson announced his new plan at a time when tin i House Agriculture Committee war meeting with Benson's assistant and legal adviser to discuss a di ll verted acreage program. "When Benson came to our com mittee to ask our advice in regard i to the program he announced to i day, I believe not a single person ■ on out 30-man committee was willing to advise him lo impost regulations. The committee chair i ban, Clifford Hope (Rep., Kans.) II agreed with me that the Secrc tar.y's program makes him a I j czar,” he continued. Cooley remarked that diverted acreage legislation had been uni ' of the top items on hi.-, commit : tee’s agenda. ■j “The Secretary has usurped oui ■ ^ legislative authorityhi declared • Tobacco Disease Clinic Planning There will be a Tobacco Disease 'Clinic held in Williumston Thurs I day, June 2'1111, from 2 to 5 p. m. at the School Agriculture build I ing back of the Williamston Higl School building for the purpose oi ( identifying tobacco diseases.
