Washington, April 16. ? Cotton! textile men, pressing relenthasly j their drive against the cotton pro cessing tax, said tonight a number I of mills probably would close within I the next few days in protest against! the levy. As northern mill men planned a! legal assault upon the tax, they ex-1 pec ted the first test case would! reach the Curcuit Court of Appeals! next week. This is the case of the! Hoosac Mills of New Bedford. Meantime, attacks on the AAA I and Secretary Wallace continued on! both sides of Capitol HilL * I. Senator Austin (R-Yt), himself a! lawyer, asserted he was of the opin-j ion the cotton tax was unconstitu-l tional, while Representative Mar tin (R-Miss) declared that if Sec-1 retary Wallace "cannot view thisj matter from a national angle, he should retire and give way to some-J one who will give fair and equit-j able treatment to all interests in-1 volved." Secretary Wallace was accused by Representative Rogers (R-ldass) of attempting to promote strife be-j tween the agricultural South and West, and the industrial East, while Representative Fifford (R-Mass), continuing his controversy with .the secretary, told Wallace in a let ter that 1,500 tons of textile ma-.1 chinery had been shipped from New Bedford to South American cities. A spokesman for the National As sociation of Cotton Manufacturers said a number of the members were inclined to follow the example of James Sinclair, president of the Fall River Cotton Manufacturers' Asso ciation, who asserted he would close his mill, employing 750 employes, as a protest against the processing tax. The northern mill men also said they were encouraged by steadily increasing support from the South em mill interests, and hoped for militant action at* the meeting next ? week of the American Association of Cotton Manufacturers, the South ern group. Meanwhile, Representative Mar tin said there would be "easily over 3f House members in the group which will present the textile case to the President late this week, probably on Friday. The President will find in the group many mem bers of his own party, especially from New England. (And - Representative Higgini of Btatoiv said today thai "weVe got t^ convince the President and Sec retary Wallace somehow that the industrial East cant be sacrificed for other sections," and pointed oat that "when our textile industry prospers, all New England bene- ? fitfc" The Congressional textile Woe, instead of being launched today instead of bring disturbed by a counter attack launched today by tie ?AA, expressed elation.

Modificatioft of the con tracts,- as ordered by the Secretary of Agricul ture, provides that the classes which limit the total acreage plshtad to crops shall be inoperative in 1985. The new ruling also provides that th<* clauses Hmi*A?g fly* production of basic commodity crops and live stock shall apply only to cotton, wheat, tobacco, and peanats.. The growers will b* allowed to plant in food and feed crops all 'the lend which they have isjsnsJ from tobacco cultivation. These rulings were adopted; to help offset fibs effect of the mid western drouth in curtailing nation al production, said E. Y. Floyd, of State College director of the tobac co program in this Stats, and to stimulate the production of more food and feed crops for home use. As originally drafted, this tabacro contracts stipnktad thsk the. grower must not increase- the production of any other basic crop grown on his farm, nor the total acreage of all crops. Only half of the acreaga withdrawn from tobacco cultivation was to be put in food and feed crops* The chief benefit to be gained bys dm lifting of these restrictions wdt be the increased plantings of com permissible, Floyd said. In most to* bacco growing areas, corn does nob constitute a cash crop and the pro* duction of a reasonable amount of corn is necessary fer a well-balance* farming system. The joke is on the neighbor's chickens when you fail to plant a garden. PreEasterSemiCM ?; [ WiH MMrt ? 1 1 ?

Seme political !wise-acrea interpreted his speech in the Sfoto Seaate. as the, opening gun in his campaign for Governor .. MUD?Senator Carl Bailey, of Washington! County wants the world to know that he is opposed to di version of highway funds under the. plan, of Senator Newman, Chairman of the R"wnti* finance. committee, and others, to levy the three per cent Sales tax against gasoline and take | the cash out of mtoey collected un der the State's present six cent per gallon gasoline tax. "I will be op i posed to any diversion Until my peo ple are taken out xrf the mud," Sena | jor Bailey told the Upper Branch of | the General Assembly.? His people Ire still in the mud and it will Be itill muddler in his hqfae county of Washington if highway money is spent on all. the things that have been Advanced before this session of the Legislature. k GOOD STORY?Here's one that's being1 told, around the State Capitol theee days. Senator Harries New* man, chairman of Smiate finance committee, of Jewish blood, (accord ing.to the story) was talking to Rep resentative Tam CL Bowie, of Aahe. "I like the Jews .eery much," Bowie is reported to have said, adding, "! am going to run for the United States' Senate." Whereupon Nfew man is said to have replied, "I fike .the Gentiles very muck, Mr. Bowie, and I am going to run for Lieutenant Governor;" Believe it or not, but it makes a good story. . PROMOTED ? Senator Lee L, Gravely, of Naah, did himself some good as chairman of the Upper House's appropriations committee and want down the line in opposition to the State's general: sales tax. Now friends of Senator Gravely are pro moting him to run for the United States Senate against Senator J. W. Bailey. But the State Senate ap parently is enough for Mr. Gravely. Al least he has continued so far to turn a deaf ear to the demand that he seek to hitch his wagon to a higher star. BIG MISTAKE?One Washington correspondent for a North Carolina publication got his wires crossed on the Eayburn bill which would put al moot complete control of power com panies within the hsnds of the fed eral government This "special" wpote that Tar Heel representatives in both Hopses 'of Congress were re ceiving numerous communications in favor of the bilL Admitting that he was all wet this same correspondent later wrote that he was mistaken and that the letters, telegrams and telephone calls were in opposition to the Rayburn bill. A' lot of the na tives of this State have a share or two of stock in power companies and others are of the opinion that it is had policy , to give up State regula tion to the Washington bureaus. Freight rates in the hand of the In terstate Commerce Commission have helped form such opinion. THREAT ? Former Lieutenant Governor R. T. Fpuntain, who wu defeated in 1982 by Governor Ehring haus, is predicting that the next Governor of North Caroline will notj be a friend of the Sales Tax. It's hard to find friends of the three pert cent retail levy but it's also notices hie that Fountain ran on an antfi! ?alee tax platform and that he is an announced candidate against X W. Bailey for the Eastern Senate seat in 1986.
