Youngsters Under 18Must
DELAY Plans For Wedding

Boys and girls who have not be-
come 10 years Of age will have
to wait a while before getting mar
ried. according to information con-
tanned in a letter to A. B. Rhodes,
register of deeds Of New Hanover
county from Ralph Moody, assist
ant attorney general for North
Carolina.
Circulation Of report that young
boys and girls who have not be-
come 1S years Of age are eligible
to marry was explained yesterday
afternoon. Clerks at the offices OF
the register of deeds reported they
have been requested several times
to issue license to marry to per-
sons under 10 years OF age since
the report was circulated TWO
weeks ago.
Replying to a request from
Rhodes, the letter from the assist
ant attorney general discloses there
were no ground for the belief that
he marriage law has been cnane-
cd.
Laws in regard to marriage and
the fixed ages by law whereby
consent Of parents must be obtain
ed, have not been changed in any
respect" Moody wrote.
1.-THE radio report and digest that
you observed in the papers were
based on letter written by mem
bers of the staff Of this office on
the subject of annulment of naarri-
ages and the proper authorities to
bring such procedure" he said.
This does not concern making the
marriage contract, rules OF which
will continue as always, it was
learned.

not include New Hanover IN wnlcn
tobacco production is compara-
lively light, nor Brunswick, whose
county agent, J. e. Dodson, could
not be reached, it was revealed
that approximately 112,9oo acres
of tobacco were planted in the SIX
counties listed during 1945. An estl-
mated yield of 117,037, 500 pounds
of tobacco was harvested.
Sampson County Agent E. J.
Morgan said that at least 10 per-
cent of the 1945 crop in his county
was left in the field because OF
labor shortage. Clinton, Sampson
county seat, had its first tobacco
market last year with four ware
houses. Morgan said that at least
two new houses are planned In
Clinton to take care of the expected
increase in volumn for 1916. One Of
these is being constructed on the
Faison road by Zach D. McWhort-
er. Ennie Bass is associated with
McWhorter in the new warehouse.
J. C. Weeks, Jr., is also planning
new warehouse to be located on
the Smithfield road
Also at Clinton, Taft Bass will
biuld a new warehouse to replace
the Farmers Warehouse there.
Bass house will probably be on the
Dunn highway.
Morgan also said that redry-
ing plant is planned for Clinton and
that a stemming plant may also
be constructed there il time Tor
the 1915 season. "a
In Columbus county Charles D.
Raper, Whiteville, county agent,
said he expects 80 per cent Of the
farmers in his comfy will take
advantage Of the Increased quota.
s"Ten per cent Of our farmers
will not increase their acreage"
Raper said, because they would
not have the labor or equipment
to harvest a larger crop"
Raper said that Columbus county
farmers had an average yield OF
from 1000 to 1900 pounds per acre
in 1915 and that he looked for
about the same in 1916. His esti-
mates show there were $4,000 acres
of tobacco in Columbus county
during 1945 which means, under the
increased quota, Columbus would
add 1900 acres to the crop with
an estimated yield of an addition
al 100000 pounds.
In Robson county there were
81, 400 acres of tobacco during 1915
according to County Agent o. P
Owens, Lumberton. He estimated
an, increase of 100000 pounds
there over 1915.
There were $500 acres in tobac.
CO in Fender county in 1915, County
Agent R. R. Rich. Burgaw, said
He estimated an increased yield
in 1916 for Fender of 1921, 00(
pounds.
County Agent L. F. Weeks Of
Duplin, Kenansville, said there
were $4,000 acres of tobacco in his
county last year and he foresees
yield of an additional 100000
for his county in 1915 over 1915.
In Bladen county R. B. Harper
Elizabethtown, said there were g.,
900 acres in tobacco in 1915. He
said the county would probably
have an increased yield of appro::i
| 1nately 100000 in 1916, under the in
creased quotas.

 Germany could go to war, he asserted, only be the Naz leaders had suppressed free speech and and misled the German people. This fact clearly brought ou he said in the Nuremberg trials of the Naz leaders.

THAT'S THAT

Housing expediter Wyatt has
 made himself ridiculous by trying to force the REC to make 90 mil
 lion dollars of loans to finance prefabricated housing concerns. If these ventures were economically sound, there would be no need for government financing. Billions of dollars of private capital are look ing for investment opportunities. If prefabricated housing is too much of a gamble for private in- vestors, the REC certainly is jus tified in shying away from it. Af- ter all the REC is a lending, not a give-away, agency. The money it has to loan is taxpayers money. And when it makes a loan it should be reasonably certain of re-

Green, Murray and Lewis

a perSecuted champion of laborS rights President William Green of the AFL and President Philip Murray of the CIO.
 The government is applying the rule of the jungle to the coal miners and ther chosen eader, according to MT. Green who proposes a compromise to get coal out of the mines-and Lewis off the spot which he has placed himself.
 Mr. Murray accuses the government of "a shocking attempt force American citizens work against their will through economic coercion" and announces that the CIO will join in appealing the federal court fines imposed on Lewis and the miners union
 The gentlemen felt otherwise when Lewis at tacking their organizations not merely the people of the United States.
 In January 1942 Mr. Greens official organ, the AFL Weekly News Service, called Lewis "an unprncpled master of duplcity, and asserted that the AFLs off "wouldnt touch him with 10-foot pole" (Lewis has since rejoined the AFL).
 In June, 1922, MT. Murray described Lewis as "he- bent creation of national confusion and national dis content"
 MT. Murrays official organ the CIO Union News Service accused Lewis of "betrayng the miners union by assocatng it with "a conspiracy to disrupt labor and national unity and to preach hate division and dssen sion among Americans" Uews moving to take his union out of the CIO)
 two months from war MT. Green even got indignant about Lewis coal strike The AFL Weekly News Serv ice then referred to Lewis headstrong, insane bitrary, ungovernable false leader"
 It described that strike as mot only betrayal of America, not only betrayal of the workers involved but dastardy and indefensibe betrayal of the best interests of all labor in America Lewis it added was gambling not only with the rights of his miners but with the freedom of the whole labor movement" (LewiS still active in the CIO).
 Messrs. Green and Murray know John L. Lewis from away back They know that everything he in 1941 and 1922, he is now, plus
 They know too, that the government has been fair and generous to the coal mners that gave them the best contract providing them the highest wages and the greatest benefits they had and still stands ready honor that contract that only as measure of desperation, only because it became necessary to try the country from Lews-caused disaster did the government seek penalties against the miners union.
 We can understand why honest members of organized labor should be distressed by the governments resort to court injunction that weapon often and unfair ly used by employers in days when unions weak.
 We would have preferred to see the government in- yoke laws plainly and carefully written to protect the rights of labor and the rights of the American people against reckless abuse of unionsms power.
 But such laws have not been enacted. For the fact that they have not been enacted two bear major responsibility men who have opposed and de- nounced and obstructed every attempt to write such laws.
 Those men are William Green and Philip Murray

must be denied the freedom of re-
 fuSing to join. They are advocat-
 ing in reverse, the very thing they
 fought for years in opposing Nhe notorious yellow dog" contracts. Union insistence upon closed shop and union shop policies, under which men and women must be members of and pay tribute to la Dor unions or be denied the right of working and earning a living, amounts to an admission that the only way they can keep many of their members is through compul- sion. If union membership is ncet voluntary, then it becomes a sys- tenn of involuntary servitude which is intolerable in a supposed ly free society.
 Moscow must be rejoicing. John L. Lewis coal strike fits perfectly into the Russian Communist world revolution pattern. If the Reds | themselves had organized the min CTS walkout, they couldn't have ] planned anything better suited to : their conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United Stata es. The spectacle of this nation facing industrial paralysis, with millions ! of people shivering and suffering, with schools closing, is griSt for the Communist propaganda mill. Gleefully they hail the govern ment's seeming impotence to con- trol one arrogant, poWer-mad la- : Dor leader as evidence of a breaK- . down of the American democratic ] system. Lewis coal strike was made to order for both Communist and Fascist agitators.
 Whether Lewis had any legal right to break his contract with the government and precipitate a nationwide coal strike will be de- ! termined in the courts. Certainly l he had no moral right to do that From a Humanitarian standpoint, 1 he perpetrated a monstrous crime 1 in attempting to freeze and starve the American people into putting pressure on the government to submit to a sandbagging.
 The coal strike affects every ! American pocketbook. Congress man Carlson of Kansas is abSo- lutely right in warning that it
 'gravely threatens" Republican, plans to make 20 percent cut in federal individual income taxes. As he points out, everybody must realize that tax reduction depends on high level of national income. Continued strike and work stop pages would reduce the national income" A high level of national income cannot be maintained un- less there is high production with everybody working.
 Senator Thomas Dem) of Ok lahoma, chairman of the senaSe agriculture committee, is all in a dither because a three-day break in the cotton market dropped cot ton prices $25a bale. He claims the price break was the result of a "bear raid" and that if has cost cotton-growing farmers 225 mil lion dollars. So he has promoted an investigation by the depart ment of agriculture. Entirely over looked is the fact that lower prizes for cotton should bring lower prices to consumers. When prices
