Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans Monday suspended an earlier ruling by Southern Georgia District Federal Judge Frank M. Scarlett, who had enjoyed the United States Department of Agriculture from enforcing a 10 per cent acreage cut on the type of tobaccc grown prin cipally 'n George and Florida. Enforcement of the tobacco control program had been he'd eroding to Rufus Elks dr., manager of the ASCS Office. The motion seeks a stay of a judgment handed down by Fed eral Judge Frank M. Scarlett, who enjoined the Secretary and other personnel of the Ag riculture Department from en forcing a 10 per cent cut in ?far macreage allotments for Type 14 flue-cured tobacco for the 1964-65 marketing vear. An immediate appeal to the judement had been filed May 28, the day atfer Scarlett sign ed the order. The motion in New Orleans is for a stay of the judgment. The Agriculture Department requested an early ruling on the motion. One of the points at issue is the legal defin'tion of "Type 14 tobacco" as used in Judge Scarlett's order i The effect of Judee Scar- , lett's ruling issued at Bruns- , wick. Georgia, was to prevent ( application of the 1964 allot- | ment reduction to Type 14 flue cured leaf which is grown prin- | cipally in Georgia. Florida, and | Alabama. , In his order Judge Scarlett j d'd not define Type 14 tobacco. However, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in 1961 that "tobac co is includable in Type 14, re gardless of where it may have 3een grown, provided it meets the specifications of that type." Regulations of the Agnail ure Department provide that obacco "which has the same characteristics and correspord ng qualities, colors, and leng (Coatiaaed Oa Ihwkl up in North Carolina and all flue-cured states until this sit uation could be made clear. The ruling by the Georgia Jud ge is a serious threat tr the tobacco program in North Car olina. Agricultural officials told the appeals court that taxpayers stand to lose millions of dol lars if this year's quotas arc not enforced They asked that the injunction be set aside pen ding a hearing' . This was done.

Senators Everett Jordan and Sam Ervin, Jr. in a Joint state ment regarding the court ac tion said, "It is most unfortu nate that we have had the de moralizing and loose talk about 10-cent tobacco next year or Any period. We are not going to have 10-cent tobacco this year, next year, or a*?year." A motion for a stajr jf lu<tg;| ment in the Georgia tobacco quota case has been filed bv the V. S.

Cecil Miller, assistant volun teer fire chief, says that the group purchased a new Ford truck chassis and contracted with C. W Williams Co. of Rocky Mount to build the body to their specifications. The track carries 1,000 gal lons of water and is equipped with high presure pumps sup plying 3ft in. lines. It carries ladders and full fire-fighting equipment, including oxygen equipment.
