Clean-Up, Paint-Up Drive GainingMomentumLocally I Dragging along after getting off to a slow start, the clean-up, paint-up and fix-up movement in Williamston is gaining momen tum, and members of the com mittee are busy recognizing the i improvements. j While the job handled on Roa | noke River near the bridge by I the Highway Commission pos 'l sibly shows up best of any of the | clean-up projects handled to date, t other improvements have been made, Elbert Peel, Jr., said this | morning. The Jaycees did a re j markable job in clearing and j cleaning up the lot back of the ! American Legion Hut. The Wil liamston Peanut Company has unproved its grounds on the cor ner of Highways 64 and 17, the G. and H.

No word has been heard from the owners of the old Wells-Oats Lumber Company site at the end of East Main Street although courteous appeals have been ad dressed to them, urging their co operation in the clean-up drive. It has been pointed out that the insurance people allowed $1,500 ' for clearing the lot, but several j years have passed and the un sightly mess still stands there. Owners of other properties bad ly in need of clearing have ex pressed a willingness to cooperate in the movement just as soon as I they can make arrangements for | handling the tasks. The clean-up plan is attracting I added attention in many quarters, [ and it is expected to pay a big dividend before too much longer. ( TESTS MACHINE i Jim Brown Holliday, in ventor of the.

Congress Working To End Sessions By Early Angus! — Major Problems Relating To Agriculture And Aid Still Pending -*— ; Washington.—A> the Congress moves swiftly toward its sche duled adjournment, senators are working overtime to move a growing pile of legislation passed along by an efficient House. The following items, taken from run ning dispatches, give a selective glimpse of the senators’ labors. Foreign Aid Senate leaders appear anxious to rush approval of a new $3, 100,000,000 foreign-aid authoriza tion and wait until the money for it is sought before fighting over it. Majority Leader William F. Knowland (R) of California said the foreign-aid bill would be the next major item of business be i fore the Senate, which is now j working on a new atomic energy law. As the authorization bill now stands, after passing through both the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees, i! j carries 10 per cent less than thi '['totals asked by President Eisen hower and Secretary of Statt John Foster Dulles and approved 1 by the House. Admiral Arthur W. Radford I chairman of the Joint Chiefs ol ^ Staff, has told senators this reduc tion is acceptable to the military planners. An appropriation bill to pro vide the new funds, which nor • mally follows the authorizatior legislation, already is before Sen ate and House Appropriation! Committees, and this is the meu sure that is expected to product major disputes. Problems Of Parity Supporters of the udministni | {ion’s' ’farm program have an I pounced that they will fight ii j the Senate for more flexibility ii ’ [ farm price supports than th< II House has voted. Senator George D. Aiken (It! '| of Vermont, who will lead the 1 j floor battle, said lie will ask c ■wwy/w'i.i^'ew iwiin ' to 90 pei cent of parity on cotton, wheat, corn, rice and peanuts. That would put the minimum two and one-half points below that of the comprimise eighty-twi and one-half to 90 per cent voted by the House in what President 1 Eisenhower called a sweeping vic tory. Meanwhile, Senators Aiken and Clinton I1. Anderson (D) of New Mexico forecast that a solid ma jority of senators—at least 50 would vote for the President’s program of flexible farm price supports. Senator Edward J. Thye (U) of Minnesota, who wants to continue rigid 90 per cent crop props, dis agreed. He said the sentiment i so split “a breath of air could toss it either way.” Agreement On Housing Senate-House conference com mittee action on President Eisen hower’s public housing program has stirred scattered bipartisan outcries in the Senate. (Continued from Page Six) ■---*>— James Hardison Joining Pirates r -♦ James Adron Hardison of the Farm Life community of this county has signed a contract tc pitch for tilt. Pittsburgh Pirate baseball organization and will re port to a Pirate farm club in | Florida this week, leaving Wil liamston today or tomorrow The terms of tftV cobfrai t were not immediately announced but the signing came after Hardison ■ had decided against returning to N. C. State College in Raleigh this fall where lie would have been a junior. Although he had been troubled with wildness at times after going to State two years ago on a scholarship, James Adron had nevertheless turned in some very fine work on tire hill for the Wolf Pack as he had done during his high school career for Farm Life Higli and for semi-pro teams in this area. The young pitcher had married after entering college and it was believed here that his decision to move from college into profes sional baseball may have been in fluenced by financial problems Farmers Planted In ! I Excess of Allotment —♦ Only Peanuts Are Expected To Show Over-All Excess —i ! Preliminary Checks Of The Acreages Completed In This County -# No final reports are to be had, blit preliminary surveys show Martin County farmers planting in excess of their basic acreage allotments. However, it isn't like ly that, more than one crop—pea nuts—will show a net excess over the allotments. When the first tobacco acre age surveys were made, 149 of the approximately 1,700 growers were found with excess plantings. Two-thirds of them or ninety nine, this week had already cut down the surplus plantings, and it is expected that twenty-five or more will bring their plantings to a point within their quotas. In most instances, the excess was limited to one or two-tenths of an acre. However, it was learned that about twenty growers intentional ly planted in excess of their al lotments, choosing to gamble on a good crop, pay the 21-cent per pound penalty, and still show a profit. Few of those who chose to plant and pay the penalty had little or any acreage allotment, | it was learned. Their plantings ranged from about one to two and six-tenths acres. Quite a few farmers did not plant all their aSlotted acres, and the reduc tion found on those farms is cer tain to offset the excess on the few other farms, it was explain ed. Six of those planting lobaceu and choosing to pay the penal'y were said to be in one of the ten county townships. The county this year has a 12,456-acre tobacco allotment. Preliminary reports point to little <.r no excess in cotton plant ings, and it is fairly certain that ■WWTKT.T WmmTSi -TTTT '.dv. the uvt;- utt uuviUvicnt. There are approximately 700 cotton al lotments in this county, repre senting a quota of about 3,400 acres. The peanut story is a little (A ferent. According to a prelimin ary review, 693 of the approxi mately 1,650 growers planted in excess of their allotments. No es timate on the excess could be had, but it could run up to a thousand acres or more. In the final analy sis, it is expected that most ol the growers will choose to "hog down” the excess acreage rather than pay a penalty of about 5.6 cents per pound. The excess (Continued on Page Six) Expect Delay In Underpass Work A delay is now fairly certain in the construction of a( new rail road bridge over West Main Street. The Sanford Construction Company, successful bidder on the* project, is ready to start op erations, but the Coast Line does not have a pile driver available just now, and it is likely that ac tual comtrut|tion w|ll not get under way before sometime in i August. The Western Union went ahead and cleared its wires, and at the present time the Carolina Tele phone Company is moving its wires and cables out of the way. It is. pussy hie . that electric wires | will have to be rnoved~butThose | operations are not expected to j delay construction work on the pi oject. It was learned that both train I and highway traffic will be maintained over and under the I bridge. More Rcaignationa In Jameaville Faculty Following several earlier in the season, two more resignations were recently submitted by mem bers of the Jamesville faculty. Mrs. Margaret Latham, eighth grade teacher, and Miss Pearl Lamb, teacher of the fourth-fifth grade combination, tendered their resignations, it was learned. f MEETING I i_ * In a special meeting yester day morning at 11:00 o’clock, members of the local town board of commissioners pas sed a final ordinance, opening the way for the issuance of bonds for financing the street paving project now under way.
