M. Baru^lo obtain the agin^sault'with a deadly weapem and
statesman’s views on extension to personal property. By
the Defense Production
DPA), which expires June
The .Senate Banking Commit-;
tee, of which Moody is a mem
ber, has been holding hearings on
Administration proposals to ex
tend wage, price, rent, produc
tion and certain other controls for
two years under the DPA.
Baruch, who will be 61 in Aug
ust and helped administer controls
during both world wars, gave
Moody a forthright answer this
week.
Removal of economic controls
now. Baruch wrote, would double
or triple the cost of the mobiliza
tion program in higher taxes. He
urged extension of price, wage and
rent controls.
He also urged strict governm^t
econbniy, much higher taxes and
screening of foreign aid programs
to naake certain they do not con
tribute-lo L'.-if!ation.
The letter is bound to command
wide acteotioii in Congress.
Last July, Baruch appeared in
person before the Senate Banking
Co.mmittee to speak on the sub
ject of controls.
Shortly after the fighting in
■4Soiea‘«>igS«, ii?esiclent Truman
asked Congress to vote controls
on consumer credit and produc
tion. He did not ask for wage and
price controls.
While Congress pondered con
trols and its Banking committees
held hearings on them, prices be
gan to rise. Congressmen began
receiving letters urging controls
and the vclame of these increased
steadily.
The Republicans w^ere divided.
Some wanted to take political ad
vantage of the popular demand
for controls. Others feared to give
the President control power.
House Republican Leader Mar
tin (Mass.) reported on July 26
a general feeling among Republi
cans that the President, was ask
ing for “too much power”.
But on that same day, Baruch
told the Senate Banking Commit
tee that Congress should freeze
all wages, prices and rents, in
crease taxes and ration essential
goods.
More than, anyone else, Baruch
made up Congress’ mind. Here
was the man with more controls
experierica than any other living
American. And as ' an eminently
successful, businessman and dis
tinguished American, his recom
mendations would carry great
weight Vvfich the public.
Five days after Baruch testi
fied, House Speaker Rayburn
(Texas) announced that Presi
dent Truman would accept selec
tive—as opposed to general—con
trols on a stand-by basis if Con
gress insisted.
Congress did—but it also in
sisted that the President take gen
eral instead of selective controls.
Now the time is close at hand
for Congress to decide anew about
the D(PA.
This time Congress hears very
little from Mr. and Mrs. Public.
No witness, including those for
the Administration, has claimed
that direct controls codld attain
any success without the use of
indirect anti-inflation measures—
taxation, credit restrictions and
curtailment of government spend-
'mg.
Business has contended that the
indirect measures, if properly
used, will do the job—‘that the
direct controls merely impede pro
duction, also needed- to combat in
flation. The Administration denies
this. . .

Farm Agent Reports
On Weekly Check Of
County's Boll Weevil
The weekly survey of cotton
insect activity in Hoke County
shows considerable build-up of
infestation in some fields, ac-
cordfing to E. M. Stallings, Coun
ty Agent. , ,
In eight fields checked on Mon
day, June 11, 19 weevils were
found on 800 plants. The number
per field varied from zero up to
5 per 100 plants. This shows that
poisoning would be advisable in
some fields and not necessary in
others.
The Farm Agent makes the fol
lowing recommendations at this
time:
It would be advisable for each
farmer to make a check of his
own cotton to determine the num
ber of weevils and the amount
of damage being done and if one
or more weevils are found per
100 plants and weevil injury is
noted to squares or buds, then
poisoning should be started im
mediately.
In making the check of fields
for weevils move diagonally a-
cross the field and check 8 or 10
consecutive plants at each spot
examined. They will be found
mostly in the buds and in the
squares.
Mrs. J. M. Baker, clerk for the
IJoke County Selective Service
board, announced this week that
five more men from the county
entered the Army on Monday.
Four of these were sent from here
to the Fayetteville Induction sta
tion' and the fifth was sent as a
transfer from Greensboro.
The^ men were Samuel Eugene
Teal and Robert Cecil Kiger,
both white, and James Daniel
McCormick, Venderberg McKin
non and James Edward McFad-
gion, colored. These, men bring
the total of men drafted from this
county since the start of the Ko
rean war to 70.
48 Have Enlisted
Mrs. Baker also released the
names' of 48 men from the county
who were registered for Selective
Service but who have enlisted in
one of the Armed Forces before
being called. She said there were
others who have enlisted in that
time, but that they had done so
before reaching the age at which
they had to register.
Forty-four of these, men are
white. They are: Luke Sanders,
Kenneth Haire, Kenneth Brown

ELLIS TENT MEETING
The Rev. Wallace Ellis, pastor

The first meeting is at 8:06 o’

Raleigh, June'11—Carl T. Hicks,
Walstonbui'g, President of Flue-
Cured Tobacco Cooperative Sta
bilization Corporation, an organi
zation of some 393.000 tobacco-
producing stockholders, in the
five llue-ci',red states, announced
today that their annual meeting
will be held this year in Pullen
Hall, State College, Raleigh, at
11:00 a. mi. Friday, June 29.
Hicks said that the principal
speaker for this year’s meeting
will be Dr. Paul D. Sanders,
Richmond, outstanding authority
on Agriculture and Editor of THE
SOUTHERN PLANTER. “We are
very fortunate in having such a
man who has done so much for
agriculture to a’ddress us”, he
pointed out.
The Stabilization Corporation
w’as set up in August of 1946, and
has been in operation for the past
four seasons. “During this time”,
Hicks said, “the membership of
our organization in the five flue-
cured states has been saved mil
lions of dollars through the opera
tion of our program.”
“The outstanding feature of our
Stabilization system,” he pointed
out, “is the fact that it is owned
and operated by and for the flue-
cured tobacco growers. This non
profit organization is a perfect
example of what can be done
when a group sets out to provide
a self-sustaining program resign
ed to overcome the problems that
have confronted us down through
the years.”
Hicks made it clear that
through Stabilization’s operations,
every producer of flue-cured to
bacco is able to get at least 90
percent of parity for every pound
of tobacco sold at auction.”
He urged all members of the
organization to “make every effort
to attend this important meeting.
We have a good program lined up
The town board of commis
sioners held a “continued” meet
ing Monday night to take care
of business they were unable to
get aroynd to on their first meet
ing last week. At this meeting
they discussed town finances and
projects and familiarized them
selves with the general situation
here, fhey instructed the well
diggers to get the material and
equipment out of some non-pro
ductive wells. All members were
present.
The board unanimously decided
to repeal the ordinance passed
January 2 which imposed a $1
monthly sewer fee on Raeford
residents and at the same time
increases in the water rates were
passed to be effective July
The water rates were advanced
one-third and the minimum mon
thly bill w'as raised from $1 to $2
The board also raised the fee
for tapping the town sewer sys
tem from $20 to ^*25 and raised
the water tapping fees from $25
to $40 fqr three-quarter inch tap'
and from $35 to $50 for a oni
inch tap. ■)
Commissioner J. H. Blue made
a motion which was passed un-
ani.mously that gar'oage be place
in places more accessible to the
collectors. In the past garbage
collectors have gone into back
yards after it.
The board approved expenses
of Water ^Superintendent L. S.
McMillan in attending a water
works school in Raleigh last week.
The board voted to have its re
gular meetings at 7:30 p. m. on
the first Monday in each month.
