Farmers Urged
To Insure Wheat

Every farmer in North Caro-
lima ought to be interested in
Federal Crop Insurance as it
eliminates failures and near fail
ures from the farmers budget"
Kerr Scott, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, said yesterday
1T offers farmers an oppor-
tunity to plan and plant with the
hope of a bumper crop, and with
the comforting knowledge that,
from the standpoint of returns, he
can't have a real failure Scott
declared.
The sales compaign for the win
ter wheat crop is now being con-
Quoted throughout. the State and
each Individual wheat grower Will
be offered protection against the
unavoidable hazards of: growing
this crop.
In answer to request from farm
ers, Congress provided for opera
ton of the Federal Crop Ir1Sur-
ance Program on this years cot
ton and wheat crops and for: trial
insurance on a number of: crops,
including tobacco, corn, and po-
tatoes, tobacco in North Caro-
lina). If these programs meet
with sufficient success, it is logi-
cal to assume that the ii1srEr a1ce
program eventually will be ex-
tended to other farm products.
, Applications are available. to
every wheat farmer i'm the State
Through his County AAA Office.
The deadline for making appli-
cations is September 20, or the in

Melvin Campbell, chief AAA
clerk, said that he believed lit
would more than pay, farmers in
the long run and urged THAT ap-
plications: be secured. In the
event the farmer fails to grow
wheat, he will not have to pay

Alfred L. Worley, SIC, son of

descriptions Of fighting the Jap

Rng aboard the USS Alabama.
He had been at sea so days be-

known. Admiral Halsey's COM

one was quite excited at the pros
pect and there were some wild
conjectures at the sight which
would be presented by the furi-
ously burning plant buildings.
Our group proceeded to the coast
under the cover of darkness and
probably arrived in position for
the bombardment unobserved. If
we did, we caught lot of the
Japs at work in the mills and 9TH
er factory buildings, and sur
prised them with about 1900 tons
of high explosives. After all the
speculation as to what rare
sight our destruction would be,
you can imagine the disappoint-
ment of all hands when they
rushed up on deck after we fin
ished only to discover that there
was a terrific rain storm raging
and that you couldn't see beyond
the end of your nose. The Ala
bama learned later that it had
done very handsome job of de-
molishing the targets assigned to
her"
Seaman Worley stated that he
was very proud of his ship, and
he should be, because in a release
from the Pacific Fleet Headquar-
tiers, it was said that "the Alabama
took part in IL consecutive opera
tons as one of the screening ships
of fast carrier task forces. She
not only escaped damage herself,
but no carrier she was screening
in any of the operations was
reached by Jap bomb topedo,
or kamikaze plane" That record
was spoiled only when the Flag
ship was hit.

Hungarian Armistice

The armistice signed at Moscow
last Saturday by representatives of
the Hungarian provisional govern
ment in Debrecen and Marshal
Klementy Voroshiloff, representing
Britain and the United States as well
as the Soviet Union, defines and
regularizes a situation which began
three months ago when Hungary's
united will to fight broke down be-
fore the Russian invasion.
Last October the legal government
of Hungary headed by the regent,
Nicholas Horthy, tried to come to
terms with Moscow, but that attempt
was instantly frustrated by the quick
action of the German occupation
forces, which arrested and deported
Horthy and his colleagues, installing
in their place puppet regime COM
posed of die hards and stooges
pledged to fight to the end beside
their German masters. While most
of the Hungarian Army continued to
resist the Russians. certain units to-
gether with many officials escaped
the German dragnet and set up
provisional regime at the city of
Debrecen in Eastern Hungary. al
ready occupied by the Russian in
vaders. This Moscow-supported re-
girne is now recognized by Soviet
Russia, in concurrence with its west
ern Allies, as competent to negotiate
an armistice settlement fixing Hun
gary's interim status and response
bilities until the close of the war.
After the impending fall of Buda-
pest, the Debrecen regime will be
installed in the Hungarian capital
with added prestige, much as the
Badoglio provisional government of
italy was in Rome after it had fallen
20 Allied arms.
There is, indeed, rather close
analogy between the course of events
In Italy and Hungary, Neither coun-
try is as yet fully liberated from
German control. and in both coun-
tries puppet regimes continue to
support Germany with a certain
amount of native backing. The chief
difference is that the Hungarian
armistice terms have been published
while those imposed on the Italian
provisional government have never
been disclosed.
