Assurance
Commodity Credit To
Support Markets for
Stabilizing Prices

Raleigh, Oct. 26 - (AP) -
The North Carolina congress
sional delegation has been AS
sured by the Commodity Credit
Corporation that tobacco allCt-
ments to buyers will not be re-
duced and the corporation will
support the markets to halt Il
recurrence of price declines.
Governor Broughton said to-
day.
The delegation reported it OBJ
tanned the promise after comforting
with officials of the CCC and the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration.
The War Food Administration,
supervising tobacco sales. said Sun
day that buyer allotmentS had not
been curtailed. The statement was
contrary to statements made by to-
bacconists and warchousemen at 4
meeting here Saturday.
Governor BrOughtOn said the
Federal authorities explained
the misunderstanding by saying
they merely wrote to the buy
ers and pointed out the estimat-
ed yield was less than originally
believed. This impression was
left. the Governor said. that the
buyers should decrease their
purchases, which they did, most
~ in inferior grades.
Governor Broughton reiterated,
after a telephone conversation to-
day with Governor Colgate W. OAR
den of Virginia. that the markets
in the Eastern, Middle and Old Belts
would be closed after today and for
the remainder of the week. He will
confer again with Gov. Dartlcn on
Thursday and determine further
action. he said.
Following closely that the an
nounccmcnt that the markets would
be closed, prices for lower grades
jumped as much as seven cents
