FOUR RESIDENTS

Senator Gillette, meanwhile, is
due to put in a busy autumn as
head of the Senate's c-m ign in
vestigating committee. Prelimin-
airy studies of alleged election ir-
Irregularities in certain eastern
states have indicated lat the COM
mittee is likely to strike pay dirt
in the literal meaning of the term
when it starts open hearings.
At the moment the spots which
seem due to provide most Of the
entertainment are New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Over in Boss Hague's bailiwick,
for instance, committee investiga-
tors discovered 81 persons h a d
voted from n city apartment.
They went around to the apart
ment and got from the %janitor an
affidavit that for five years no
more than four persons had lived
there.
They also uncovered a travelling
ring of "floater" voters-casuals
who would vote first in Philadel-
phia, then in Camden, and then
down the river in Wilmington. Ad-
ditional cases of citizens who main
tanned voting rights-aad exercised
them-in Philadelphia and Cam
den simultaneously hav- come to
Light.
With a presidential election COM
ing closer every day, this will be
tough stuff to be spreading on the
front pages. Politicians who have
been trying vainly to bury the
whole mess have at least the COM
fort that the material is likely to
spatter both parties alike. !

Average Housewife would be be-

A huge pot of water is heated
to the boiling point and the soap
is dumped in. A derrick lowers a
basket of dirty machine parts into
the water. After a tWo-hour bath,
the machinery comes out clean and
shining. 4

HOLLYWOOD. - Behind the

French could fight like Lii Dami-
ia, they'd have won the war.
Have you noticed the string of
sly and so-called smart comedies
lately in which married couples
cavort in all sorts of indicate
situations and dialog? It's a new
formula for circumventing the
Hays Office purity code, the idea
being that anything goes so long as
the sanctity of marriage is not vio-
lated. All the old bedroom-farce
sizlers are being scanned for
movie adaptation with a sprink-
ling of wedding rings.
Its funny how the letter of the
censor code can purify it's spirit.
Director Fritz Lang tells about a
story he once submitted to a pro-
Queer. The latter liked the idea
but was hesitant. He said: Its
all right for the girl to kill this

remains a strictly moral woman"

In Washington

WASH1NGTON.-The National
Defense Commissions blast at
Thurman Arnold's proposed anti
trust action in the oil industry was
a lot less drastic than some OF the
people in the antitrust division had
feared.
The commission reported to At
torney General Jackson hal the
oil suit might ''becloud relation
ships between the government n
industry in connection with de-
tense, but it pointedly did not ask
that the action be dropped. In
stead. it left the whole matter up
to Jackson.
AS a result, the betting now is
that the suit will be filed in the
very near future. 1t may be toned
down some; instead of asking that
the % major oil companies be
forced to get rid of their pipe
lines and marketing facilities, it
might simply ask the court to
grant such relief as the facts war
rant. The general effect. however,
would be much he same.
TOO LATE FOR
SENATE QUIZ
If it hadn't been for an odd chain
of circumstances, the Senate would
long since have held exhaustive
public hearings on the very point
Arnold is now seeking to attack in
open court-the question whether
pipe line and marketing facilities
owned by the big oil companies
do not tend to kill competition and
raise prices to the consumer.
Nearly two years ago Senator
Gillette of Iowa put in a bill to
divorce the oil companies from
Their marketing facilities. He was
all set to open public hearings
when the late Senator Borah asked
him to hold it: Borah had a bill to
make them give up their pipe
lines, and he suggested the two
bills be consolidated and hearings
held on both matters at once.
Gillette agreed. Then Borah got
tied UP, first with the Temporary
National Economic Committee and
then with the neutrality fight, and
hearings were postponed. Finally
Borah died. Gillette last April ar
ranged to open hearings-only to
find Arnold was preparing to Owe
the same field with an antitrust
suit. Agreement then vas that the
Senate hearings would be post
poned until Arnold's suit was filed.
With Congress due to quit in a
week or SO, it's too late for the
hearings now.

leading products of Tar Heel farms,
it may come as something of sur
prise to find that corn was king in
1866 and is still in first place in 1910
when computations are based on the
acreage planted, according to figures
of the State and Federal Departments
of Agriculture.
Not only that, but the present ac-
reage in corn is only slightly less
than twice that of the second place
crop, which happens also to be
neither cotton nor tobacco, but hay
The six leading crops, in acres
planted, in 1866 were: l. Corn l.
$4,000; 2. Cotton 100000; 8. Wheat
100000; 4. Oats 100000; 5. Rye &c.
900; and 6. Hay 10000.
The half dozen leaders of l94(
are: |. Corn 2,441 900; g Hay $780,
600; 8. Cotton $4,000; 4. Tobacco
$4,000; S. Wheat 100000; and 6
Soybeans $4,000.
1t is striking that the total acreage
in the six leading crops has more
than doubled in the three quarters Of
century. In 1866 the the Crane
total was 2,684,000 acres, which this
year has risen to 5,7S6,000.

Parity Payments To Be Made
On Five Major Cash Crops

Payments will be made to eligible
producers Of corn, cotton, rice, to-
bacco, and wheat from a special
fund of S212,0OO,OOO appropriated
for this purpose. In North Carolina,
Floyd explained, cotton growers will
feel the most effects, although there
are few commercial wheat grow
ers in the state. Corn is not con-
sidered commercial crop here, and
little or no rice is grown. In the past
few years, no parity payments have
been necessary for tobacco.
A producer who participates in
the l941 AAA program must fulfill
certain requirements to be eligible
for payment. The 1941 planted acre
age of the commodity for which pay
ment is made must not exceed the
farm acreage allotment of the COM
modify. Nor must producer offset
his performance by overplanting on
any other farm, wherever located, in
which he has an interest.
AS provided in the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1888, the 1941
parity payment rates for the five
commodities will be based on the
amount by which the returns from
the 1910 crop of each falls below
the parity income.
The rate for any crop cannot ex-
coed the amount by which the 1910
average farm price is less than the
parity price and will be as nearly
equal to the parity price as available
funds will permit.
Rates will be announced later
when the information upon which
they are based is available. In 1889
and 1910, the rate of payment and
the average farm price combined
could not exceed rs percent of parity.
