Removal of government price con-
trolls on tobacco and tobacco pro-
ducts was advocated before the
Senate Agriculture committee Mon
day by w. P. Hedrick, marketing
specialist of the North Carolina

he said, tobacco again would sell
on a basis of grade and quality,
with the poorer grades selling al
a level which would permit export
Higher Prices
Better grades, which are used
largely for domestic purposes
would sell at higher prices, he said
but the general average to the
farmer would compare favorably
with sales under price regulations
Under price control, Hedrick tolc
the committee, sales on a grade
and quality basis have been dis
couraged and sales on a poundage
and quantity basis encouraged. He
added:
"All leaf tobacco has been sell
ing in a very narrow price range
in fact only few cents variation
between the best grades and thu
poorest.

remedy, found that only two days
previously his man had ordered a
jar sent to Montreal.
When the next order arrived,
this time from Shediac, New
Brunswick, Lamb was notified. He
contacted the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police, who nabbed the
fugitive. This was only the begin
ming of Lambs troubles.
Though the Royal Mounted
promised to deliver the man to
Queens, Lamb heard nothing until
ne got a wire week later, reading:
Come after your prisoner. The
husky Mountie who had made the
arrest had fiinched at the thought
of going to New York for fear of
being killed by an automobile.
Taking his prisoner home,
Lamb, who by this time had
one ear frostbitten, ran into
more headaches at the border.
Because his deserter had over
stayed his six-months' visa for
Canada, he could not legally re-
enter the u. S. Canada didn't want
him either.
There l was," says Lamb, with
one bum ear, one bad temper, and
a man without a country on my
hands"
They Didn't Want Him
FINALLY by arranging to turn his
man over to the immigration au-
thorities after the state was through
with him, Lamb got the deserter to
Queens. After the prisoner had
served his sentence, Lamb, true to
his agreement, re-arrested him and
took him to Ellis Island. But Off
cials there refused to accept him,
saying it was a matter for the au-
thorities at the Canadian border
station. Il left the prisoner stand
ing in the immigration Commits
sioner's Office" Lamb relates, and
took the ferry back to Manhattan"
Lambs most recent exploit in
volved a run-in with another kind
- of law - Admiralty Law.
Two years ago. Queens police
man, on leave as a radioman on a
merchant ship, abandoned his
family and was indicted when he
failed to keep up support pay
ments. For IL months Lamb
watched the shipping news pages
for word of the mans vessel, the
SIS. Thomas Bradlee.
When the Bradlee steamed up
New York Bay one August eve
ming. Lamb met it on the pilot boat.
Lamb, a slightly-built but
grim-faced man, told the radio
man he was under arrest.
''Oh, no, I'm not," he said. Il
know my law. You can't arrest me
on the high seas"
When Lamb snapped handouts
on the fugitive and attempted to
drag him away, the captain ordered
