Wallace Population Doubles,
But Increase Is Temporary

anybody to come to Wallace to
swell the population, temporarily
or permanently.
And the prospects are that the
Wallace population will increase
by an even larger percentage dur
ing the next two weeks. During
that period the Wallace Tobacco
market will probably bring in
over 5000, 900 per day and, there
fore, more people from the out
lying sections will come in to gel
their share. This increase In
money-per-day will come about as
a result of an additional hour Of
selling time being added to the
Wallace market beginning tomor-
row.
Figures: The Wallace Market
will sell between 400 1000 and $780,
600 pounds of tobacco per day for
from 5000, 900 to $3.50, 900 per day.
That should cause the population
to treble. And, incidentally, to give
traffic cops hereabouts, already
suffering from excessive attempts
to park automobiles where there
isn't any parking space, more head
aches.
Anyway you look at it, those to-
bacco assesses will keep ANYBODY
from getting lonesome around here
for a while.

Control Issue Splits

In general, the countries are
dividing in the traditional split
between the haves and have nots
Specifically, the question Is, how
much authority should be given to
some central agency to control and
direct food production. prices and
distribution.
Control is Issue.
Countries which must depend or
outside aid for q large share oi
their food requirements would like
q world food board with pcwert
similar | to those Of the wartime
allied food agencies.
Such q board, as ideally conceived
would Edecide what foods should bs
produced and would build world
pools, Eor reserves, from which food
would be funneled into areas where
people are now living subnormally
India is the most persistent ex-
pont Of this view.
Major producers, including tl,<
United States, on the other hand
believe that the central agency
should be more directed towards
research, education, exchange Of
ideas and information. Some United
States delegates feel the agency
might develop broader powers In
the future but should be limited
closely for the time being.
Many Related Problems.
That is over simplincation, but II
/ is the main line on which argu-
ments will proceed through 10 days
OF committee meetings here. There
are dozens of related issues on
which local farm politics plays =
determining role.
Wheat agreements which the
United States already has approved
In a general way may be reviewed
In the course Of debates here. Brit
ish objections to proposed prices
were responsible for their scuttlins
three months ago in London, al.
though Britain is more interested In

American farm delegates would
