Oct. 49, (UP).-Scouts of Gen.
Ruggiero Santini's eastern col
umns fought off attacks by Eth
opian snipers and the army across
all northern Ethiopia consolidated
today for a decisive drive south

PLAN T0CLOSE
CCC CAMP At
MILLS RIVER
o. ]. Cole Points To Finan-
cial Loss; Other Coun-
ties To Maintain Three

O. ]. Cole, of Hendersonville
route 2, today called attention to
the fact that Henderson county
is faced with the loss of its only
CCC camp, located at Mills River.
MIR. Cole points to the fact that
this camp is a source of thousands
of dollars of income to Hender-
sonville annually, and that its loss
would be felt financially in the
city and county. He is making
public the plan to close this camp
in hope that steps will be taken
to have it continued in the coun-
ty. He also points out that any
thing that is to be done must be
done quickly, in view of the fact
that October 80 is the last date
on which it may be possible to
bring about a change in the deci-
sion to remove it.
The camp at Mills River is one
of 63 to be closed out of a total
of 465 now operating. The camps
are being closed because the en-
rollment in them is not up to full
strength.
1t is pointed out that this is the
only camp in Henderson county,
while Buncombe and Pennsylvania
counties have three each.
1t is estimated that the spend
| ing locally by the boys in the
camp totals $4,000 yearly. 1t is
also known that the camp buys
$4,000 worth of food monthly,
when it is at full enrolment. In
addition to this there are 16 coun-
ty men, who are engaged in gain
| full positions at the camp, and who
hold their positions by reason OF
being qualified by suitable expe-
rience.
Besides the element of financial
loss. in the event the camp is
closed, it is pointed out that it has
been a great saving in the con-
troll of fires in Pisgah Forest. 1t

correspondent with the southern
Italian armies" asserts that
Dedjazmatch Afewerke, Ethiopian
commander on the Ogaden front,
urgently has requested reinforce
ments because he will be unable
to repel an impending Italian at
tack without them.
One of Afewerke's runners to
Ethiopian headquarters near Jill

containing his appeal, the dis
patch said. Afewerke said the
Italians were pressing forward
near Tafari, Gcdizia and Girez
and that he doubted if he could
hold his positions much longer.

AAA PROGRAM
shift SAID TO
BEPROJECTED
One Contract For All Co.
Operating Farmers Is
Being Uurged
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1G (UP)

WASHINGTON, Oct. lG (UP)
Roosevelt administration is con-
sidering a shift in the AAA to
place all cooperating farmers I'M
der a single contract covering
tilling of entire farms.
Is is learned that such a shift
would not affect present produc-
ton control contracts but might
be offered soon after the present
contracts expire. The plan is to
be formally announced then.
Influential AAA officials are
urging the broader long range
proposals as necessary for soil
conservation to simplify the adj
ministration, and to meet criti-
cism of red tape and bureaucracy.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace and AAA Administra-
tor Chester C. Davis confirmed
the study of farm unit proposals
but said no decision has been
reached. Details are being worked
out by the AAA production plan
ming section.
A recent detailed study of farm
problems with a view to soil fer
tility, farm management and
sound economic practices "sug-
gests notifications" in some in
stances of the parity yardstic6
upon which present AAA pro-
grams are based, Wallace said.
What changes are necessary
and when and how they are to be
made still is a matter to be de-
cided, he added. Several proposals
for basic changes in the AAA
program have been discussed, but
the single contract idea appears
to have widest support among
AAA experts.
GAS time goes on" Davis said,
farmers will modify the flat
acreage production plans necessl-
tated by acute emergency, so that
new programs will have that fleX-
Utility which will increasingly en-
courage maximum conservation
and restoration of soil"
The trend toward fitting adj
justment programs to sound farm
management practices is signifi-
cant, Davis said, from the stand
point of broad public purpose to
protect the nations farm plant,
and to insure it's efficient opera
ton.
The basic idea of controlled
production to meet domestic and
foreign demands at a "fair ex-
change" level will be carried over
into whatever long-range program
follows, it was said.
This control would be effected
through continued benefit pay
ments to cooperating farmers.
