Senator Bilho likewise had an
uncomfortable day, especially q few
minutes before adjournment. The
Rev. d. Wade Smith, pastor OF the
Juniper Grove Baptist Church and
Harold B. Holt, special agent In
the intelligence unit of the Treasury
Department, read a joint account
of statements given by the minister
to Mr.. Holt and an Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau agent last April.
These statements, relating largely
to reputed reasons why the seven-
bedroom and five- bathroom parson-
age was not completed by Senator
Bilbo, included the following COM
nents:
when asked why Senator Bilbo
had not turned the parsonage over
to the church, Mr.. Smith replied
that he had no knowledge OF the
reason but that he had heard some
rumors concerning this. When asked
about these ruruors, Mfr Smith
replied that he had rather not dis.
cuss that since he had no personal
knowledge of it.
when asked If the rumors re-
lated to the wife of Rev. Nix (the
Rev. D. M. Nix, who was pastor
before Mr.. SMITH, he replied
that he had heard ruimors of an
affair between Senator Bilbo and
Mrs. Nix, although he himself had
no knowledge of it, but that it was
his opinion that these rumors had
a bearing on the congregations fall
ure to recall Mr.. Nix as pastor OF
the church"
Mr.. Smith supplemented this
by telling the subcommittee yes
terday that, after talking to the
Government investigators last
spring, he got in touch with a dea-
con of the church and asked him
about the rumors concerning Sena-
tor Bilbo. The deacon assured him.
he said, that "it was no more than
campaign politics" The deacon also
informed him, he said, that if he
resigned as pastor the congregation
would undoubtedly recall Mr.. Nix.
At this point Senator Bilbo's at
torney handed Senator Ferguson the
following question to be asked of the
minister: What do you think Of
those rumors?"
"I do not believe a word Of it,
Mr.. Smith replied.

Forced Landing Shifts
Treason Case 10 Boston

A technicality raised by the forced
landing Of the airplane that brought
Douglas Chandler and Robert Best
from Germany to Washington last
Saturday has resulted in the trans
fer of their treason cases to Boston,
the Justice Department announced
yesterday.
They are accused of broadcasting
Nazi war propaganda over the Ber-
lin radio.
A Justice Department spokesman
said Federal grand jury in Boston
will be asked to return new indict-
ments against the two men.
He said the action to shift the
cases to Boston was taken to avoid
any question as to the legality Of the
charges.
The plane returning the men to
this country made forced landing

World Monetary Funt
To Begin 5tabiIizing
CuTencies March /
BY the Assoeiafed Press

The one-year-old World Monetary
Fund proclaimed today its intention
Of starting currency stabilization
operations next March 1, generally
at present exchange rates.
The fund fixed initial par currency
values of 80 of its 80, member coun-
tries at the rates prevailing now, but
emphasized it does not guarantee
these values.
1T deferred determination of values
for Brazil, China, the Dominican
Republic, Greece, Poland and Yugo-
slavia. in each case at the request
of the country concerned.
On requests from France and the
Netherlands, respectively, 1t also
deferred rate-setting for French
Indo-China and the Netherlands
Indies. There was a postponement
for Uruguay pending completion of
legislative proceedings on monetary
affairs in that country.
Rates Not Actual Values.
. THE fund acknowledged that the
rates accepted yesterday do not in
all cases correspond with actual
values, but contended that the only
E other course would be to risk ag-
gravating imitation in many coun-
tries.
Camille Gutt Of Belgium, the
. funds managing director, said it
would be up to each country to work
to maintain the value of its cur
rency, for the fund will not attempt
a pegging program.
) He told the news conference that
the fund .'takes notice of the
existence" of black markets in
various countries where local cur
rency is valued far below the official
rate accepted by the fund, but said
his institution would mot compete"
with them.
BY accepting the present values,
he said, the fund avoids disturb
ance to business" that would follow
if export trade were upset by
changed values, and binds its men,
bers not to change the values with
out consulting the fund.
Payments Due by March l.
Setting of par values and an
operations deadline of March
serves notice to member countries
that their shares of the funds
$500, ,000,00 pool must be paid in
by that date, Mr.. Quit said.
The United States, as the biggest
subscriber, will put up So, 750, 600, 900,
of which $1,000, 100000 represents
the Governments profit" on its
gold holdings when President Roose-
velt lowered the gold content of the
dollar in 1884.
When the pool is completed those
countries needing currency of other
members to carry out their inter-
national trade and transactions may
borrow it from the fund for short
periods.

Agricultural, Brunswick
Rolls Along
BY J. e. DODSON
Brunswick County Agent

Brunswick county was one Oh 1le
last North Carolina counties to &C
out OF the production OF tar, pitch
and turpentine and to begin de-
veloping along agricultural lines.
During the past ten years our
tobacco acreage has grown from
LOO acres to about 5000 acres.
The crop brought nearly $2,ooo'ooC
into the county this past season.
In addition to tobacco, which is
our number one crop, we grow
some cotton, fairly large acreage
Of corn. sweet potatoes, irish po-
tatoes beans and cucumbers.
Beginning five years ago we be-
gan to increase our acreage In
small grain until at the present
time we are producing about
5000 acres of small grain; oats and
wheat.
We make an average yield of
about 40 bushels of oats
and 20 to Is bushels of wheat per
acre. This acreage is soWn down
To lespedeza on top Of the small
grain in February, which means
that we grow two crops on the
same land each year with mini
mum amount of labor involved be-
cause both the small grain ana
lespereza crops are handled with
machinery.
Pork Big Crop
Hogs are our number one live
stock crop. We plant quite an
acreage to peanuts and soybeans
which are fed to hogs by turning
them into the fields where they do
their own harvesting. We have also
quite few farms suitable for pro
ducing beef cattle which is bound
to develop into a profitable pro
iect because of the fact that We
can Craze cattle twelve months
during the year.
Practically all of our farmer
carry what is commonly known
as farm flock of poultry and il
certain sections we have quite
few farmers producing poultry
and eggs an a commercial scale
