Assembly to enact a crop control

ture. j

Practically every man promised ]

E. Winslow, Greenville merchant]
and farmer, who is president of the]
Pitt County Farm Bureau, appointed]

delegations from other tobacco
growing counties. Representative
groups of growers, ranging in size,
from 200 to 500. in 12 or more to
bacco counties have endorsed the
compact plan at meetings called on
the soil conservation program, he
asserted.
Given assurance that the Con
gress will enact a bill permitting
State tobacco compacts within this
week, farmers at the meeting here
today expressed impatience at the
failure of North Carolina's State ad
ministration to act,
"Something's got to be done this
week or early next week," asserted
Winslow.
Now or Never.
"My calendar tells me it is the
middle of April," said J. S. Moore
of Bethel. "My plant bed tells me
it's almost time to set tobacco. My
common sense tells me we've got to
do something now or not at all."
A bright sun and warm winds yes
terday dried lands rapidly through
out the tobacco belt, allowing farm
ers to resume much-delayed plowing
after several days of soil-soaking
rain. Attendance at the meeting
here was smaller than expected be
cause farmers took advantage of the;
opportunity to work, leaders said.
Planting of tobacco in this area now
is expected to begin within a few
days and be practically completed
during the first ten days of May.
"It's time to go," yelled W. H. Dail I
at the meeting here today. He was
appointed chairman of the trans
portation committee. "We've gone
as far as we can go without con
versation," he said. "I want to tell
you, Mr. WinsloW?hit it!"
"We've waited, passed recffutions
and been up there and asked," said
Winslow, "bat the Goveyior came
back and said there had been no
demand for a special session."
"Why is it our Governor doesn't
realize the situation," asked Roy
Cox of Winterville, chairman of the
Pitt County board of commissioners,
"when bur Senators' and Congress
men not only realize it but are work
ing for it?"
Governor Invited.
Governor Ehringhaus will be in
vited to attend the mass meeting
in Raleigh Tuesday.
"If the Governor ain't there, he
can hear the roar, cant -he?" jibed
a man in the audience. "If the
Governor's not there, well march
down to Capitol Square and let him
see us," answered Winslow.
Predicted that the farmers would
come aroand for relief "like hungry
cattle, aa they did in 1982," if a
compact bill it not passed in North
Carolina, ware made by J. S. Moore.
"In my opinion," declared 6 F.
Arnold, Pitt County farm agent, 'HI
you fail to prevail upon your admin
istration leaders in North Carolina
to give you this thing, it's going to
coat you growers between three and
four million dollars iff Pitt County
and 30 to 40 million in Nqgth Caro
lina."

for the states to step in end give
this bill cotttrol features."
"What we want with a State com
pact," said Coat, "is to put into oper
ation the same two laws (the Kerr
Smith act for tobacco and the Bank
head act for tobacco) that the Fed
eral Government couldn't put into
operation.
"This is no unreasonable propo
sition we are asking for," he said.
"We are just* asking for the privi
lege of controlling ourselves.
"I see in the morning paper," con
tinued Cox, "that they want to turn
us back over to the blue mold. The
Lord knows we had blue mold in
1932. We suffered from Hoover, the
blue mold and all the other elements
then."
The -Pitt County official was re
ferring to a news story which sug
gested that the spread of hlue mold,
which lolls small tobacco plants,
might effect an involuntary reduc
! tion in the tobacco crop this year.
| Foresees No Shortage.
| "We are not going to have any
plant shortage," asserted Mack H.
Smith, who farms near Greenville,
j He asserted that he could triple his
crop by May 10. Other growers
stated outside the meeting that a
rapid sprad of blue mold would
curtail the crop materially, but no
immediate fear of a plant shortage
was expressed.
The unnanimous sentiment of the
meeting here was for government
sponsored crop control, not reliance
i upon natural forces. Several speak
ers predicted a billion-pound to
bacco crop this year unless crop
! control is undertaken.

| "The farmers 01 iNortn varoima
are so much in love with "Miss
Control" that they are ready for
the marriage ceremony to be per
I formed," asserted County Commis
(siioner Cox. "If anyone knows any
[just cause why this marriage should
not be performed, let him speak now
or forever hold his peace."
Cox expressed appreciation for
the past efforts of Governor Ehring
haus in behalf of tobacco farmers.
In the fall of 1933, the Governor
declared a holiday on the tobacco
markets of the State and buyers
j gave a voluntary raise in price, as
the result. At that time, a mass
meeting of the growers also was
called. Again in the spring of 1936,
tobacco farmers met in Raleigh to
discuss with Federal and State of
ficials the size of the fall crop. .A
movement for another mass meet
ing here last fall, when tobacco
prices dropped, was abandoned when
prices improved.
On To Raleigh.
J. S. Moore was the first to raise
i.he cry of "On to Raleigh" here to
day. ^Cox made the motion that
"this body go on record as inform
ing the Governor we want a special
session for this purpose." Arthur
B. Corey, State Senator from Pitt,
seconded the motion.
"We should ourselves let the Gov
ernor know that there is agitation
for a special session, that we do
want a tobacco compact," said
Moore.

Raleigh Man Hold
For Kidaapping
Donald Deaver Charged
With Aiding Mother
Take Children At
Greenville
Greenville, April 15. ? Donald
Deader of Raleigh is in Pitt County
jail today awaiting a trial on a
kidnapping charge growing out of
the alleged abduction of Chesley and
Glenn Morton, young sons of S. V.
Morton of this city.
Deaver and Mrs. Nell Winther,
the former Mrs. Morton and mother
of the children, picked up the chil
dren as they played on the sidewalk
about a block from their father's
home late Tuesday afternoon. After
an alarm was spread the couple to
gether with the children were taken
into custody in Goldsboro.
Chief of Police George Clark and
Morton went immediately to Golds
boro and brought back the children
and Deaver. The children's mother
was not brought back but was re
ported to be returning to the city
today,
Tba Attamnt was the second by
Deaver to abduct the Morton chil
dren, the other occurring January
14 when he went to the city school
attended by the children and ad
vised the teacher that the father of
the children had sent him for them.
When this charge of attempted kid
napping came up before the Pitt
County grand jury, Deaver was
dismissed when it failed to find a
true bill.
Deaver was given a preliminary
hearing this morning and bound
over to Superior Court under $1,000
bond. Failing to provide bond, he
was placed in thd county jail to
jwait trial in Superior Court
Officers Morris, Stephenson and
Whitfield, of Goldsboro, arrested
Deaver and Mrs. Winther with the I
children -after being advised by
telephone they were en route to
Wayne County. Mrs. Winther, who
' separated from her husband several
years ago, declared here she intend
ed to return to Greenville and
carry her fight for possession of the
children to the courts. v. ? -?* :V

Since this project has been in opera

been completed. This field enables
the Athletes of Greenville High
School to invite their visiting teams
without being ashamed of their ath

are able to play a muuch better
game on a good field than on a bad
one. Therefore, if it had not been

most grateful and appreciative for
the cooperation which they have re

Sanctions As Perce Effort
Great Britain Reported
As Agreeable If Italy

War At Once; Mussoli
ni Nearing Conquest
of Nation
London, April 15.?Great Britain
may offer to suspend } sanctions
against Italy in return for immedi
ate cessation of hostilities' in Ethi
opia, diplomatic quarters reported to
night ' ;
Following Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden's' departure for Geneva,
developments indicated that Britain
is eager for early peace.
She was represented as reconciled
to the fact that peace terms now
must be more favorable to Italy than
the abortive Hoare-Laval proposals,
Which would have pacified Italy with
half of Ethiopia.
It was regarded as highly signi
ficant that the Ethiopian minister -
to the Court of St. James, Azaj Mar
tin, during the past few days roide
vigorous, but futile attempts to ob
tain British credits to finance the
purchase of munitions here.
Martin made his appeal to the
foreign office, but British armament
firms declined to sell to Ethiopia on
credit.
Banking circles regarded this de
velopment as further evidence that
Ethiopia's defeat and ultimate sub
mission to Italy are viewed by the
government as inevitable.
However, Eden's departure to at
tend the meeting: of the concila
tion Committee of 13?the council
minus Italy?was accompanied by a
statement that Britain is prepared
to go as far as any other nation in
applying or extending sanctions.
But it was reaffirmed that single
handed action by Great Britain is
out of the question.
