SELMA, Sept. 18-PeOppor-
tunities for future improvement
with the expansion Of rural cleo
tric lines were cited Wednesday
by State Agriculture Commission
err w. Kerr Scott in an address here
at a harvestday festival.
With electricity to act as a low
wage chore boy-it can be for
nearly every farm phase, from
pumping water to drying hay in
the barn-with a fine school sy-
stem and community rural
churches, then farm and village
life can have all the conveniencies
associated with city life" Scott
said.
The commissioner expressed con-
Germ that many young Johnston
county veterans of World War II
had elected to ignore opportunities
on the farms to enter industry
and trades learned in the armed
forces.
These young men should not
overlook the fact that North Caro-
lima imports most of its dairy and
meat products and poultry pro-
ducts, as well, and that with new
ly designed and unit-engineered
farm machinery, available early in
1947, the efficiency which they
learned under Uncle Sam readily
a be applied to farming with
substantial results"
He congratulated Johnston coun-
~ residents on a consistent record
OF being n of the nations leading
farming counties. He said that it
was a good sign to see the ,county's
record in deversification of rop
Scott was introduced by Law
Wallace of Smithfield.
The harvest festival included
afternoon bicycle races, barrel
races, a greasy pole contest, and
a baseball game between Selma
and Princeton. %GASs.i

PRESIDENT MAY
REQUEST SURVEY
Congressm a n Predicts
Probe OF Subversive
Workers On Payroll

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1912
A prediction that President Tru-
man would soon set up a COM
mission to separate any COM
munists or other subversiyes from
the federal payroll was made We'd
nesday by Rep. Randolph ID
w. VA.o of the house Civil. Service
committee.
After a conference at the White
House, Randolph told newsmen
he urged the President to take
such action although, he said, 81
am not interested in any witch
craft or Red-baiting expedition"
ut is my feeling" he said,
.'that the President will make
these appointments within the
next few days.
In accordance with recommen-
dations of a house subcommittee
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-09-19

which looked into the question
during the summer, Randolph said
he asked Mr.. Truman to make
a commission to study the
possible infiltration into gov
eminent service of persons whose
primary loyalty is to another gov
ernment."
He suggested that the com
mission include officials Of the
Justice, War, Navy, State and
Treasury Departments and the
Civil Service Commission.
Such an investigation, he com
mented, would be "a protection
to the federal employee yho is
unjustly accused Of being sub
versive.
He first suggested the actiol
to the President in a letter il
July, Randolph said, and tn
President has had it under clos
| study.

College Stars-Pro Tilt
Smacks Of Clash Of
Rival Grid Loops
BY the Essocioted Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE 18th
annual College All-Star game, to be
held Friday night before an expected
$4,000 in Soldier Field, will be some
thing of a clash between the Ma
tional Football League and the new
All-America Conference.
Coach Bo McMillin's collegiate
squad, of more or less recent campus
vintage, is masquerading in the
main for the All-America Confer
ence, whose youthful delegates
would relish slapping around the
champion Los Angeles Rams of the
National League.
The All-America has excused
from its various training camps
some SO of the &c huskies available
to McMillin in the Indiana coachs
quest for the fourth collegiate, and
his own second, all-star triumph.
N. L. Has Is on All-Stars.
Needless to say, the Rams who
operated in Cleveland last season
when they won the National League
title will be equally anxious to give
the AA hirelings a detailed lesson
in football as played in the moneyed
circuit.
The National League has Is play
ers on the All-Star squad, including
such probable starters as Halfback
Elmer Angsman Of Notre Dame and
Fullback Pat Harder OF Wisconsin
both chattels of the Chicago Car
dinals.
Generally speaking, though
McMillin must rely upon the ALL
America contingent. 1t is likely
eight Of the starters will be from
the new league.
