Some encouraging news for tobacco growers has just, come out of the State De partment. Last week the State Depart ment made public a long list of trade agreements that were made several months ago vvith sorrre*35 friendly foreign nations. Many of the agreements should have long-range, favorable effects on tobacco growers. Among , other things, the Unit ed States agreed to reduce tariffs on Oriental leaf tobacco by 15 per cent. |,^This along with other tariff concessions should, in the opin ; of Sen. VV. Kerr Scott, help gain more markets for U- S. grown tobacco in the Middle East and ccrjain parts of Europe, The items on' which tariffs *were"'redueed, Ve" ■Tldt'r competitive with American-" made tobacco products. In many cases.; foreign countries have felt that quite a few U. S, duties were unfair. By reducing some of them. Scott said. It should mean more markets lor American tobacao products.

Monday morning the Tar Heel Senator walked into his office in the- Senate Office Building and found a bright - eyed and bushy-tailed pigeon perched on hts desk - —; — Apparently, the pigeon had tak en.the freedom of making him self (or herself) completely at home during tire weekend. There were very strong indica tions that the pigeon had used the chandelier as a roost. it was obviouf that the visitor bad came through an open win dow. But what the Senator wants to find ouf about is the motvic behind the visit. Until Sherlock or somebody comes up with a better answer, the Senator is con vinced that it must have been a Republican bird. PEOPLE Now that Winter is over "a n3',',S u in rrier~is“ Ti'e r'e—'vTth' Spring lost- somewhere along the way—more and more North Car olinians are seen in Washington. They came up for visits, to sight see. oy on busines. Last. week, there was an out standing state man from the East a preacher from the West and a converted Republican from the Piedmont. Among those calling at Sen Scott's oft ice were Mr. and Mrs Roy Parker and Mr and Mrs. Al vab Early of Ahoskiei Herman Clark of Fayetteville. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hester and family of ~THa3en6o?o;~fftF Reverend—W~ Q. Higgins of Sparta and P. C. Burkholder of Charlotte. .- - SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * WASHINGTON—Since writing last week I. have had time to get away from Washington for a few days to visi^ in several sections of North Carolina in connection with college commencements, including one talk in South Car olina. The Graduating Classes V I have always enjoyed seeing young men and women as they begin their refyonsihilities s-s citizens. The graduating classes Jhis year are leaving college to begin life under favorable cir cumstances. t My idea of a commencement speech is that it should he time less. That makes the preparation - of a commencement talk require a great deal of time and 'it is a real challenge to the best* thought processes of the speak er. Auto Dealers I am hopeful that the Senate will sopn take up the O’Mjhoney Bill. It seeks to give the auto mobile- dealers of our country their day in court to protect themftrom the failure of automo bile manufacturers to act in good faith in complying with the terms of franchises or in terminating #r, nol renewing franchises with their dealers. This 'bill was reported favor ably from the Judiciary Com mute on,.June 4. It is now on the Senate calendar. I feel that leg'-'' islation of this typ$ is long ov erdue: The hearrn^s held before the Sjenate committees have indi caJecL that automobile dealers Garden Time Robert Schmidt June is the month for roses as well as for brides, especially in the central and western por tions of the state. They are beautiful right now in spite of the dry weather. There are many hew varieties of hybrid - tea roses being introduced each year, more than the average rose 'fan can afford to keep up with. Different rpse varieties suc ceed Under different environ mental conditions and the best advice is to try them under your own garden conditions. If they grow well, everything kis fine. If they have some weakness and do not grow well be prepared to discard them without hesita tion. There are too many good ones to waste time on the weak ones, iti'' ones that have.won -jaaay .Ahfrnux- th,.!.ar? Peace. Crimson Glory. Rubaiyat and Charlotte Armstrong.

In short, they have little economic freedom. Of course it is obvious that the manufacturers must have some rights when they issue a franchise, but the proposition should be more even and not so one-sided as now The O'Mahoney Rill attempts to counterbalance-this inequity.

By Cliff Blue 1 ' I ~.— STEVENSON • •. Adtei Steven son's #g victory over Estes Ke fauver in the California primary , puts the 1952 standard bearer way out in front for the nomina tion, and our thinking is that the former Illinois governor will win the nomination on an early ballot..... • ~ ' ■ ; Stevenson’s California victory was just what he needed to start a band-wagon parade toward his ."candidacy! The California victory [or Stevenson; could well be to him what Tom Dewey’s -victory in Oregon, over Harold Stassen, was in 1948. The Oregon primary was pretty decisive in 1948. Dewey won and from that time ' oh his stock continued oh the pise until he was nominated for a ‘second try at the presidency, and Stassen's support^ began . to dwindle. *■ - KEF A U V E R ... Refauver’s ■victory in MincSota will likely prove to be his high waterijiark in the 1956 race for the presi dential nomination. And that victory may turn out to be of mre. benefit-to Stevenson than Kefauver. The Stevenson debacle in Minnesota caused the former Illinois governor to stipi look, ■listen and, reappraise his cam paign methods. We think it caused an-awakening and brought h:ni much closer to the people’, which has helped him greatly as a campaigner for the nomination, ...arid' could prove of immeasurable value to him in the fall cam paign if nominated at Chicago. NORTH CAROLINA .. . After -The Minnesota primary when Stevenson was considered almost out by many, he received a‘ strong shot in the arm and boost by Tar Heel party leaoers treacl ed by Governor Hodges who stood bv Stevenson for nearly a couple of hours at the “open house" meeting in Aberdeen and introduced one and all to AdIaiT~: A few weeks ago at the State convention and before the Flori- . da. and. California primaries, the Hodges supported resolution of 1 endorsement was adopted. HEADQUARTERS In Chi cago the Conrad Hilton and the Palmer House are the two big and most desirable hotels.
