BRITAIN BEGINS
POTATO RATl0NlNC
Housewives Protest Weekly
Allowance OF Three
Pounds Per Person

LONDON, Nov. 9 -iA-
Britain began the rationing OF
potatoes today for the first time
in her history, limiting each ra-
ton book holder to three pounds
weekly. Grocers said that
meant about seven average
sized potatoes.
There were immediate pro-
tests from housewives in some
sections of London. A nutrition
ist's published statement to the
effect that the ration was sutfl-
cient to maintain health did lit
tie to quell them.
The total British ration pro-
vides 2,70O calories daily. but
the government has warned
that supplies may fail to meet
that at times during the COM
ing winter.
In Brixton, lower middle
class London subrub, house
wives complained as they lined
uo today to buy their potato
ration at the shop of George
Kingston. Many, said Kingston,
went away very upset and
crying when they saw their
three-pound ration"
potatoes art the mainstay OF
the poor in Brixton, he con-
tinued. "and l do not know how
the workingman can carry on
with one a day. Why, the aver
age order for potatoes IN this
district was 10 pounds before
they went on ration"
Worse Blow
In the Aldgate and Bishops
aate section, housewives told
the British Press association
that 1--WE can never manage on
that few potatoes. It's worse
blow than bread rationing.''
Similar protests were made
wear ago when the government
started rationing bread at sew
en- and one-ha1f ounces. A ma
iority of the people say now.
however, that the ration is sui
ficient.
Prof. Y. H. Mottram, a nu-
tritionist, said in a published
statement that "three pounds OF
potatoes is about the average
amount eaten at present and IS
quite sufficient to keep the peo-
pie in good health. p"
Potato supplies to fish ana
chip shops will be cut by about
one-third, and the secretary OF
the national federation of fish
friers said the shops would have
to forbid the sale of potatoes
without fish. One London chain
of restaurants said each patron
would be limited to three and
three-sevenths ounces OF po-
tatoes with a meal.

WALLACE MARKET
CLOSES THURSDAY
One OF Best Seasons In His
torv OF Tobacco Selling,
Says Skies

WALLACE, Nov. 9 - Farm
ers of this area have three
more days to sell their tobacco
on the market that last govern
ment figures showed to be the
tops in the Eastern North Caro-
lima belt. John Skies, Wallace
sales supervisor, said tonight.
The Wallace market, winding
up it's best year in history, will
close after sales Thursday, Nov.
13.
Warehousemen Bill Hussey,
Oscar Blanchard, and r a c X
Rackley, leaders of sales tor
Wallace's four warehouses, to-
night urged farmers to bring
their tobaccos on to Wallace inn
mediately.
''By using the market on our
three remaining sales day." they
said, farmers are sure to re-
alize the best sales they can get
anywhere during the remainder
of the 1947 marketing season.
We sincerely believe they will
profit by Offering their tobacco
here during our three last days
lof sales"
With tthe help of the farmers,
who've been unusually loyal to
the market this year, Wallace
seemed a good bet to reach, and
probably surpass, its goal of l5,-
100000 pounds in sales for the
year. Through last Friday t h e
market had sold IA, 1854, ,00C
pounds, leaving but 236,OOC
pounds to 60
Prospects tonight were that
at least 125,000 pounds would be
sold here tomorrow.
| Warehousemen were prepared
to do everything in their power
to get the highest possible prices
for the farmers so the market
long one of the highest price
average markets anywhere
could close it's season with the
high dollar as well as the high
est volume in its history.

Americans said they were

however, that they either had

DYNASTY OF SINGH
Continued from Page One)

this area seems largely due to
the fact that nearly 100000 OF
its 100000 population here
served as soldiers and are train
ed in modern warfare. This
"poonch" area is famous for its
fighting men.
Even if the Indian army, aid
ing the Maharajah, repels the
tribal raiders who are attacking,
they will still face the almost
insuperable job of cleaning out
the rebels who are fighting with
their backs to their homes and
who know every inch of the
mountains.
In such country as this, the
heavy equipment and fighter
bomber planes of the Indian
Army are almost useless
Planes Intellectual
The rebels assert that the In
dian planes, sent in response to
desperate redo appeals of the
surrounded Hindu troops, have
proved completely inffectual
They say that their experienced
soldiers merely dispersed in the
forests when the planes came
and suffered no casualties.
The four troop pockets are
surrounded by crack-shot guer
rillas, rebel leaders say. Ever
if a few troops escape, the re
bells say, they face almost GER
tain death at the hands of the
of the native Mos1em popula'
ton. These Moslems, even il
they do not possess rifles, have
at least spears, hatchets OF
swords.

Chicago (FP) - Swift & Co.,
one Of the nations Big Four meat
packers, racked up million dol
lars more in profits in the fiscal
year ending Oct. 26 than it did
the preceding year, despite the
fact that total tonnage Of sales
was II per cent below the previous
year, the company revealed in it's
annual report to stockholders.
Company President John Holmes
expressed mild amazement at the
phenomenon which surprises no
meat purchaser-and said the year
was "the most unusual in it's his
tory"
"We realize" said Holmes, "that
some of these earnings resulted
primarily from the rising scale of
prices" But he justified these with
the statement that earnings that
come from the upswing are needed
to cushion the shock when the
price cycle starts downward"
The report revealed a net profit
of $16,394, ,739 this year compared
with $12,303,807 the year before.
Wages and salaries, including
those of high-paid officials, totaled
$164, ,013,099 as compared to $161,-
