BRAIN FOOD MAY
BEPACKACED SOON

RALEIGH, Jan. 80 -UD- In a
couple of years. the American
housewife may be able to buy an
economical-size box of ''intelli-
gence" from their local grocers,
the North Carolina Department Of
Conservation and Development re.
vealed today.
No barb on the ladies of the
nation is intended. It's just that
brain food may be packaged ano

The food-stuff, as it grows in the

some animals act almost human
In time, it might also nourish a

The plant has been found t.

North Carolina it is rather in

Wells said that the sages of In

ARMSTRONG ASKS
FOR MORE CATTLE

CHICAGO, Jan. 30-U.p)-Gayle G.
Armstrong, government representa-
tive in charge of seized meat pack
ing plants, appealed directly to
livestock producers tonight to step
up cattle shipments in an effort
to replenish the nations depleted
beef supply.
His appeal that producers COOP
crate to restore full clearinghouse
activity followed request yester-
day that marketing agents call in
more cattle.
There were indications, however,
that some producers might balk
al the request to market more cat
tie.
v. Hubert johnson, a farmer il
Clay county, Nebraska, said he
had received kilograms from in.
dividuals in five states endorsing
his proposal to withhold livestock
and other agricultural products
from market until industrial dis
putes are settled.
He said that persons in Massa-
chusetts, Georgia, Colorado, West
Virginia and Ohio had endorsed
his proposal and that a number
of Clay county farmers had prom
ised to back him. Johnson said he
would attempt to organize Clay
county farmers Monday night.
Armstrong pointed out that
holding back cattle that are ready
for market not only is reducing
the much needed reserve of feed
grains, but is likely to cause a
disruption of orderly marketing.
1T may reduce prices more
than necessary when they are
thrown on the market later.
"OPA has been requested to con-
duct vigorous campaign against
black markets so that prices can
be brought in line with what pack
ers can pay in compliance with
present ceilings"

UNO TO PERMIT
IRAN SETTLEMENT

LONDON, Jan. 3o-(R)-1n its
first major action, the United Ma.
tons Security Council agreed
unanimously tonight to permit
Russia and Iran to settle their
dispute by direct negotiation but
reserved the right to request IN
formation on the progress OF their
negotiations at any time.
The decision climaxed a four
hour debate, sometimes heated.
Soviet Vice Foreign Commissar
Andrei Visf1insky pounded the
table at times. British Foreign Sec.
rotary Ernest Bevin charged that
Russia had conducted what "look-
ed to us like war of nerves" in
the Iran case.
Later. as the attempts 10 reach
an agreement progressed, Vishin-
sky became conciliatory and Bevin
assumed a calm but direct attl-
tude on the controversial issue.
Thus the big powers threw of
the cloak of secret diplomacy and
tackled their problems-and those
of smaller nations-in the open.
BY it's agreement, the 11-nation
Council averted what might have
developed into an open split be-
tween Russia on the one hand and
the United States and Britain on
the other oyer Trans complaint
that Russia had interfered in Iran S
internal affairs.
The agreement came on sud
den, expressly conciliatory move
by Bevin after Vishinsky vehem-
emily opposed British-American
proposal that the Iranian case be
submitted to direct negotiation
but that the Security Council keep
the case on its agenda.

Priorities will be observed in
obtaining transportation - but
rank will not be a factor. The
policy will be to grant:
First priority for military per-

employees who indicate willingness
to remain overseas two years.
Second priority for those who
indicate they are willing to re-
main at least one year, but less
than two.
Relative priority within these
two groups will be established on
the basis of cumulative service

FARMING PROGRAM
TO BE EXPANDED

LUMBERTON, Jan. 30 up =
Governor Cherry told farm gath
ering here tonight that the states
postwar planning includes ian
ever-irnproving agricultural pro-
gram, land said both labor and
capital must keep pace to provide
a balanced economy.
He spoke at the annual meeting
Of the N. C. Crop Improvement
association, which also is holding
it's annual seed exposition here.
The meeting Will continue through
tomorrow.
All agricultur al enterprise. Cher
ny said, must SHOW a profit to
the farmer if ne is 10 survive. We
must provide a balanced produc-
ton of crops, livestock and poul-
try rroddcrs, with al, 4uate mar
keting facilities, so that the farm
er can show the grea S5t marg::
of profit" -
That, he said, is agriculture's
responsibility to state and ma
tional welfare. In return, ''both
labor and capital owe to agricul-
ture the definite obligation of pro.
viding a stable production OF goods
which will aid the international
battle against initiation"
1.-THE voice of agriculture, above
all, must represent all of you, must
be wise in its counsel, must be jus,
and rea sonable in its demands,
and must have workable and eff
Gent plans which anticipate eco
nornic changes if it is to be effec-
tive" he declared.
The state, in its plans for i'm
proving the lot of the rural people,
should look to improved education
in farm communities, establish
industrial plants and commercial
agencies in rural areas, and plan
for a program of vocational edu-
cation for rural school children, he
said.
BY providing Industrial and COM
mercial agencies in rural areas, he
said, more people would be en-
abled to combine agricultural
employment with rural residence,
and would expedite the migration
of suitable families to spur agri-
cultural production"
He commended the Crop I'm
provement Association work in
the selection of top grade seeds
and fertilizers for use on North
Carolina farms. Production, he
said, already has shown a con-
siderable increase as a result OF
using top grade seeds.
"The certified seed you grow
contains a priceless ingredient
and the blue tag which is familiar
in many states is a symbol that
you in your association in coop.
GRAFTON with your agriculture de-
partment and colleges are produc'
ing a worthy product" he said.
Farming is gradually becoming
mechanical business, he said
and added that efficient farming
now can come about only through
the use of modern methods of ma
chinery adapted to the farm
where it is to be used"

a yearly payroll boost OF $500, 900.
One of the first companies to
announce new scale was the Can
non Mills Of Concord which re-
vealed Tuesday that its $4,000 en-
ployes in Kannapolis, China Grove,
Salisbury and Rockwell would re-
ceive S5-cent hourly minimum
wages beginning Feb. l.
About 10000 High Point seam
less hosiery plant workers yester-
day received seven and one hall
per cent increase, raising their
eight-month boost to 81 per cent.
The High Point Enterprise pre-
dicted that adjustments OF full
fashioned hosiery workers wages
would follow in the near future.
The Kerr Bleaching and Finish
ing works at Concord has also an
nounced 10 per cent raise for its
500 employees beginning Feb. 4.
The three Republic Cotton mills
plants at Great Falls, S. c., will
receive unannounced increases
starting Feb. 4.
Other good news came from Lam
caster, S. c., where the Springs
Cotton mills reported addition OF
10000 spindles for a total Of 244,.
720 making it one of the world
largest.
The principal North Carolina
sore spot, the Erwin Mills strike
which began Oct. 8, also appeared
nearer a solution with the com.
pany's offer of a 65-cent minimum
The union declared it provided
an excellent chance for settlement
of the disputes
Reduction in working hours from
the wartime 48 to 40 and elimina'
ton Of overtime pay brought about
an earnings loss to the workers,
which will be offset by the adop.
ton of the IS cent minimum scale.
Other plants in both states were
expected to make similar increases
shortly.
