YOU and YOUR .CONGRESS The shot that was fired by President Truman this week when he dismissed General Douglas MacArthur as Far East Command er will be heard around Congress for many months to come. This matter promises to outdo even the “Great DebaiC’ o\er txoops-for-Europe.- where veroi- age and political name-calling are concerned. The full effect in C-ongress of the President's explosive action cannot immediately be dCiei mined accurately. Most rnembbers. Re publicans and Democrats alike, still have not recovered from their surprise. But it would be difficult to overestimate the probable con sequences of Mr. Truman’s action, e^ecially in view of the political background against which it was taken. Significantly, the immediate re action from Congress was almost entirely along party lines, with Democrats supporting and Repub licans condemning Mr. Truman. This was a harsh blow for al ready weakened foreign policy bi partisanship in Congress. There was talk of impeachment 1: yp islators would agree with Tobey. Meanwhile, former governor M. E. Thompson of Georgia, a Demo crat w^ho had supported Mr. Tru man, announced he was resign ing as an Office of Price Stabili zation consultant because he had no work to do and did not want to be a “parasite oh the Ameri can taxpayers.” In reigning, Thompson sharply criticized OPS Director Michael V. DiSalle’s pro gram. Almost simultaneously, Chair- m.an Maybank (D-S.C.> of the Senate Banking Committee Said the committee will begin May 1 to review price and other infla tion controls, which are due to expire June. 30. 0 Local Airman With Fighters In Japan ■ 0 Sergeant Stacy H.

The social security office doesn’t want to see anyone lose any paymentsi That is why thev urge you to act now. Visit your local social security office and let them give you the infor mation you need to determine w.hether you are eligible now for social security benefit payments under the new law. The social se curity office for this area is lo cated in the Huske Building, Fay etteville. N. C. garden time By Robert Schmidt ered serious. Such proceedings to oust the President would have to be instituted in the House, where the Democrats hold a numerical advantage of 33. Actual ousters would have to be by a two-thir^ vote in the Senate, where Demo crats outnumber Republicans 49 to 47. The MacArthur incident mean while, was certain, to delay Con gress’ work on legislation already in the mill or forthcoming— in cluding that for appropriations and the inflation controls pro gram. Lengthy delay will come as questions are rai^d and answers to them’ are demanded. Just what is the Far Eastern policy of the United States; Many members of Congress were dissatified with President Truman’s attempt to answ'er this question in a radio talk after he fired the general. Exactly who makes this policy? How' much is it being influenced by our allies? Noted in this connection are the general satisfaction in Europe with General MacArthur’s dis missal, plus Britain’s proposal that Communist China be consulted on the Japanese peace treaty and be given Formosa. Those are some of the questions that will help generate this new great debate. There will be many others. It appears that henceforth few pieces of major legislation in the 82nd Congress wall , escape the in fluence of feelings aroused over the MacArthur incident. On balance, the incident seems to have done nothing to improve the Administration’s relations with Congress. And, meanwhile, while they were greatly over- diadowed, a couple of other things happened this week that seems un likely to improve the Administra tion’s position on Capitol HiU. Sen. Tobey (R-N.H.) told the Senate that in two telephone con versations which he, Tobey, re- . corded. President Truman had first said but later denied that he had “good information that a great many” Congressmen “got fees for what tiiey did” in helping to ob tain RPC loans. Tobey declared that the President’s original state- mmt wSkv.^ “serious indictment” d Congress Immediately N aised was the question of how in Japan, he was stationed at Chanute AFB, Illinois. Sgt. Guin was graduated from Hoke County High School in 1942. He is the son of Mrs. J. L. Mc- Fadyen, Route 2, Raeford. 0 Many Haven’t Filed For Social SecurityN^ Manager Says Most Americans these days have a vital stake in the Federal social security program — and that’s doubly true since the new amend ments were passed last August. As a result of these new amend ments many persons became eli gible for old-age and survivors insurance immediately. But the local social security office reports that a lot of folks haven’t yet filed their claims for social security benefit payments, in spite of an increase of over' 200 per cent in claims filed in this area since September 1950, according to Ver non D. Herbert, manager of the local office. If you have worked a y-ear and a half in employment covered by ’.he Social Security Act and are 05 or over, or if someone in your ainily who was employed in ,vofk covered by social security nas- died recently, you may be eligible now for old-age or s.ur- vivors insurance payments. 'Wi dows with, minor children, and parents who were chiefly sup ported by a veteran of 'World War II, are especially urged to inquire about filing a claim whether the veteran died in service or after. The new law extends wage cre dits to veterans for each month spent in seiwice. So even if you were previously told that you were not eligible for old-age and sur vivors insurance payments, you should inquire now at your local social security office. Under the new law, you may be eligible. If you are, you can still draw back The crop that you produce will be no better than the seed that you plant. Use only the best you can get. Failure of seed to germinate when planted is not always due to low viability. Often when seeds —especially beans and corn—are planted in wet and cold soil they will rot m the ground, even if they have passed a good germi nation test. Also, germinating seeds may be killed when they come into direct contact with strong chemical fertilizers. Be very careful in applying concen trated fertilizer. Do not allow them to come into contact with the seeds. It is now safe to plant all warm season crops in eastern and cen tral North Carolina — such crops as beans, cucumbers, muskmelons, watermelons, okra, tomatoes, pep pers and eggplants. Collard seed may be sown for an early crop, but the best collards are produced when seed are fown in July and August. Have you tried the “Han over” collard? I’ll be glad to send a few seed on request. Some gardeners believe that cucumbers and muskmelons will cross if planted near each other and that the melons will taste like cucumbers. This is a mistaken idea. Cucumbers and muskmelons will not cross in the field and, if the melon is tasteless, it is due to too much rain at ripening time or to soil conditipns. Different varieties of muskmelons will cross witii each other but will not ef fect this year’s crop — only next year’s crop if you save your own seed. If you plant yellow and white sweet corn varieties near each other the resulting cross will show up in the present season, and you will have a m.ixture of white and yellow kernels on the same ear. tary equipment as well as new farm' machinery. The farmer should dispose of his scrap by selling it. This means hauling it to salvage dealers in toivn. or selling to trucker-buyers who call at the farm. National ceiling prices have been establish ed on scrap metal, but these are prices to the dealer after he has sorted, processed, prepared, and shipped the scrap to the mill. Lo cal prices will necessarily be less. 0 A senior at Dobson High School, Surry County, has hit on a novel idea to make spending money in his spare time. The student, Char les Bingham, will cut and sell dogwood timber, which is now in good demand. 'What was part of Raeford’s first Predbyterian church is under going a face lifting. A.- K. Stevens bought this house which is next door to his own house from the Covington estate and is remodel ing it into an attractive and com fortable home. When it was strip ped down for repairs it brought back many memories of the old church and old timers. Furman Clark and family who have oc cupied the house for sometime, have continued to live in it dur ing the remodeling. Pfc. Percy McNeill of Camp Atterbury, Indiana, is spending a furlough, here with his mother, Mrs. Annie E. McNeill. Mrs. H. E.

DRAKE, Mgr. -n Save Scrap Metal Farmers Are Urged Scrap metal is needed once again to keep the nation’s steel mills rolling at full capacity, says the local farm agent for the State College Extension Service. About 67 million tons of scrap from all sources will be required to keep steel furnaces going in 1951. The alltime high of 61 mil lion tons was reached last year. Therefore, about 6 million more tons will be needed this year than payments to last September, if' was used in 1950. you act now! The new law permits six months back pasonent — but no more.
