Raleigh-The necessity for the

William Moore, head of the State

Flies travel widely, often as

of the species, Fannia canicularis.
Flies multiply so fast it is esti-

European Women Outstrp
Americans In Progress

3 PARIS U.D European women
who during the war turned from
needle TO rifle have made such
progress since liberation that in
many countries they have outstrip-
ped the additionally advance
Americans.
One of the most interesting post
war events on the Continent is the
consolidation by women Of War-won
positions in countries where they
were hitherto forbidden TO vote.
This was particularly evident at
the recent international Congress
Of Women, held in Paris. AT the
conference, at which women from
80 countries were present, a we'll
known English feminist, Mrs. Cor
bett Ashby, told the United Press:
French women gained more in
their first general elections than
did British or American in more
than 20 years Of suffrage. In these
elections, the first IN which French
women voted. they won 81 seats IN
Parliament. The British hold % and
Americans six"
Important Roles
Housewives from the Maquis
provinces present at the conference
said that during the occupation
French women took as many risks,
if no more, than the men. They
frequently chose one OF the most
dangerous jobs Of all, transporting
arms. because they were less apt 70

French law forbade her even 20

Eastern European women. tra6'-
tionally among the worlds least
free, caused a special sensation at
the conference. At the Yugoslav
table was a peasant woman with
fine face and gray hair covered
with a black kerehief. She was
partisan fighter whose three sons
were killed by the Germans. Today
she is a member Of the Yugoslav
Parliament.

A former Yugoslav schoolteacher,
Anna Berus, who is now finance
minister in the Croatian govern

first time. We have the same OPP

Representatives of 10 countries

Of drawing up a blueprint for world
trade to be considered at an inter-

in the fall of 1947.
As the delegates in London sweat
ed over their labors. a recon-
mendation for full employment
emerged as one Of the No. l &C.
complishments Of the parley. Rec
ognizing the inter-relationships of
nations in economic affairs, the con-
ferees agreed that all countries are
responsible not only to their own
people but to all others to maintain
purchasing power and a high de.
mand for consumer goods.
Methods for working out this prin-
ciple were left to individual coun-
tries. In cases where one nation was
selling more to another and there.

balance. the creditor country was

asked that the report be confined to
the number of Allied troops on for

were quick to call for count of forces
at home as well.

FRANCE:

On tour Of Europe to investigate

Wherry (Rep.. Neb.) offered the
French people some good old Repub-

out Of postwar doldrums.

can party mandate in the U. S. is
to slash expenditures and balance
the budget. . The same job faces

Wherry said. Because of the declin-

demand for other products. To re-
store economic balance. Wherry as
serted, the French must pare pay
rolls, reduce military expenditures
and encourage enterprise with an
equitable tax system.

SUGAR:
Urge Control

Continuation of sugar controls
and encouragement of increased pro-
duction of the commodity in the
U. S.. Europe and Philippines were
recommended by the sugar commit
tee of the food industry council to
assure industrial and domestic users
of adequate supplies in 1947.
Lifting of controls in the face of
heavy demands both at home and
abroad would lead to sharp price in
creases and severe shortages as
professors and householders scram-
bled for the limited supplies, the
council declared. BY judiciously
controlling stocks. however, it should
be possible to increase allotments
to industrial and domestic users.
With the government boosting
guarantee payments by 81 a ton
over the average price Of $14.50
for 1916. the council predicted a
substantial increase in sugar beet
output in the U. S. in l947.
