Russia is still claim ing huge reparations to be paid by Italy despite a plea by the other Big Two that the larger nations forego reparations collection. A constitutional amendment was proposed in the Senate this week, calling for a shakeup in the Supreme Court. The action resulted after a report of friction between members of the court. Under the proposed amendment, which will have to pass in the House and Senate and be adopted by three-fourths of the 48 States to become law, four of the. present group of justices would be forced to resign. The amendment calls for ' the appointment of only three justices by any President. Housewives were confronted with the news this week that the prices on butter, cheese, and evaporated milk will be advanced on order by the OPA, and smaller supplies of meat, poultry, eggs and wheat products could beexpected. The price increase approved allows 11 cents per pound on butter, six cents for cheese and one cent on a can of milk. The fate of the OPA still hangs in .the balance as a joint Congressional committee seeks a compromise as to the exten sion of the OPA and its powers. President Truman this week en dorsed a plan for the overhauling of the veteran pension, system, the pres ent system, being .termed inadequate and a handicap to rehabilitation.

T. Johnson, County Superinten dent. He stated this week that the work will be started just as soon as the contractor engaged to make the repairs is available. The total costs of the repairs to be made has been estimated in the neighborhood of $15,000, and funds for the costs were authorized by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting this month. Included in the repairs to be made is the installation of additional heat ing units at the Perquimans High School to provide adequate heat for the large building. Mr. Johnson said that a heating engineer is now draw ing plans for the installation of the new unit and work on this project will he started as soon as the plan is completed and bids received. A major portion of the repairs will be made to community Negro schools which have been somewhat neglected for the past several years due to the Board of Education's plan for con solidation of the schools by the con struction of a new building at Win fall However, it now seems, due to extreme high costs of materials and labor, that this proposed -building must await a decrease in the costs of construction before it can be erected, and the community schools will be re paired for use until that time ar rives. Work at the High School, in addi tion to the installation of a rtew heating unit, will provide for repairs to the roof and walls of the building. Roofing experts have made surveys of the building and necessary changes to provide protection to the building have been drawn. All of the repairs are expected to be completed before the opening of schools in September, Mr. Johnson said. r League Directors Meet In Hertford Directors of the Albemarle Base ball League met in Hertford Tuesday night to consider three proposals of fered by team members of the league.

Weather Favorable For Peanut Planting Weather conditions have been very favorable in all peanut producing dis tricts during the past week. In the Virginia-Carolina area a large pro portion of the crop has already been planted, although limited planting may be expected for the next couple of weeks. While offerings of peanuts have been very light in all sections except Virginia and North Carolina, demand has declined considerably during re cent weeks. Trade reports indicate that many end users of peanuts have stocks to carry them until new crop peanuts are available. There has been some increase in re-sale offer ings.
