A. Walworth, field su fice in Raleigh, who was on a check op tour of the markets. Today he Tiaited Rocky Mount and Wilson and was in Greenville tonight He is to go to Kinston and several other towns tomorrow. In Rocky Mount, Wadsworth said, between 1,200 and 1,500 stemmers will be released by factories, and id Wilson, an estimated total at 2,679 will be released by the first of next week. i Wadsworth said, however, that aj great majority of these workers I probably will be put back to work when the markets open. The field supervisor said that off all fiie workers bong released, only "between 10 and 15 per cent are I eligible for unemployment compen sation insurance and between 85 atijjHM 90 pr cent of them drew their confell pensation for last year In fanuaty jl or February of this year. Wadsworth explained that this vprald put the vast majority of the unemployed workers back on the wel fare agencies in their communities. He explained that m order to draw L any compensation this year, * work er must have made at least $180 in 1988 and that as a majority of those in 1988 eligible for compensation In fiiia way had drawn their mopey al ready, 90 par cent of those out of I work now will not beeligible fori payments until January, 1940. ..

Simnltaneooaly, the Chief Execu tive invited the leaders to both par ties to an extraordinary conference at the White House on September 20. This invitatkm apparently was in line with his announced effort to obtain "national unity" in the situation re sulting fTom Europe's war. A short time after the special Ses sion call went out, James &. Farley conferred with the President and then ?-in talking to reporters?supported the Chief Executive's plea that poli tics be adjourned. Van Nuys Changes. "I don't think the peoplte are in terested in politics at the moment", ! said Farley. It became apparent toaay uure nr. Roosevelt probably would command majority support in the Senate For eign Relations Committee, where the opening skirmishes of the neutrality revision battle will be fought This came about through an announcement frotn Senator Van Nuys (D.Ind.) that ha would vote to repeal the embargo aid substitute a "cash and carry" system of arms sales, if proper safe guards ware provided. A few months ago the committee divided, 12 to il*, against proceeding with the legisla tion, with Van Nuys opposing the ad ministration at that time. / : Many assumed, meanwhile, that the President was counting upon the sup port of a majority of the Senate as welL It was known that before calling the specjal session, the ad ministration engaged in numerous preliminary discussions to test sen timent. It was generally believed that Mr. Roosevelt would not have issued his proclamation unless he felt sure of his position. A few days ago, in'fact, one of the administration's most determined opponents on the embargo issue, Senator Borah (R. Idaho), expressed such a belief. Embargo Hurts AMsa.0^ While there is much more to the neutrality issue than the embargo it became obvious long ago that that would be the nub and principal talk ing point of the controversy, v Administration men Insist that the embargo as such is essentially unneu tral;. in that through it this nation, deprives Great Britain of the advan tage to he gained ftom its huge fteet and control of the seas. They contend, too, that it is in consistent to embargo actual war im plements?guns, % ammunition, air planes and the like?and yet freely permit the sale of the raw materials from wfcfck the instruments of death can be manufactured. It is freely conceded that if the embargo is lifted, Britain's sea power wiH see to it that only England and her aflfef have access to American made arms. From this, the opponents of me peal draw their principal counter ar gument. To make American arms available to Great B^tain by charg ing the law at this stage would, they assert, be an-.net unfriendly to Ger would be an act of such potentialities they add, that the eventual entry of berg (R.-Mich.) puts It, you cant hrip one ride in a war without be Pikilrffi the Mubswco Hi8 ? , _ *- , . * ? $5,000,000 Allotted In (?

This gratifying increase reflects two things in particular: First, that the Farmville market began at the Top in price averages, and has main tained the Top prices for each grade every day to the eloee for the HoH dae; Second, that the Warehousemen and their respective forces have been on the jobN at ail times manifesting that same friendly interest in each farmer's welfare, for which our warehousemen are widely known.
