President Gives
 His Opinion On Varied Subjects
(BY D. Harold Oliver)


 WASHINGTON, (Pl-President Truman expressed his wholeheart- ed support yesterday of the justice departments investigation of the high cost of food, clothing and housing.
 He said he hopes it will produce results and he thinks it will.
 But he told a news conference, in reply to a question, that he be- lieves the principal effect will be to point to those responsible for high prices rather than to check the spiral
 Asked whether he believed anti trust violations are responsible for the hike in prices, he replied the results of the inquiry will have to be awaited on that.
 The news conference covered wide range of other questions:
 VI Day-Mr. Truman said he anticipated when he signed the proclamation ending hostilities with Japan two years ago, that warning nations would have ar rived at a peaceful settlement by this time, but he regrets that that has not been so.
 He added, however, that he was still hopeful for world peace to benefit all peoples.
 Politics-The President said he had not approved any site for the Democratic national convention in 1948, adding that is a matter for the party's national committee to decide. He said he will be in favor of any city the committee selects.
 As far a new chairman in event Robert E. Hannegan resigns as head of the committee, the Presi- dent said that, too, is a matter for the committee.
 He declined to say whether sec retary of agriculture Anderson will take Hannegan's committee job, but said he thinks very highly of Anderson.
 Labor-The President said that one of the accomplishments of the last Congress was to tear up the labor department. A reporter wanted to know if MT. Truman was considering putting the U. s. unemployment compensation com mission under that department and he replied it was being con- sidered.
 Special Session-There is noth- ing at the present time to alter his opinion that a special session of Congress will not be necessary.

Jury EXONERATES

Death Of Two Persons In
Je e p Held Unavoid-
able At Inquest

LUMBERTON, Dec. 80. - A
coroners jury in Fairmont Mon
day night exonerated Hilbreth
Britt, of Lumberton, Route 2,
from any blame in the deaths of
Robert C. Scott, Route 2, and
Hattie Mae Chavis. Indian of
Fairmont, Route l, from injuries
sustained when the jeep in which
they were riding with Britt
crashed into a tree two miles
west of Fairmont, last November
II.
Britt was brought from the
state prison in Raleigh, where
he had been held pending the in
quest. At the time of the acci-
dent, he was on parole from a
4-6 year term for manslaughter
in the "Jiu-Jitsu' Staying of Jet
ter T. Conner, at Conner's home
in Britt's township on July 9,
1914.
In the absence of any testi-
mony showing reckless driving
or driving under influence of in
toxicants, the jury termed the ac-
cident unavoidable.
Christine Hunt, Fairmont In
dian woman, was also a passenger
in the jeep and hospitalized for
some time after the accident.

BY HI. A. STALLINGS

out to chat with DR.. J. Mitchell
jenkins, Jr., director of the
Vegetable Research Laboratory
located on the Wilmington
Castle Hayne highway We found
him a highly personable man
with his undergraduate work
done at Clemson, his masters
work at Louisiana State Univer-
sity, and his doctorate at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. In both his
masters and Doctors work he
majored in plant breeding. After
his war service he was located
in Charleston coming from there
to Wilmington.
He has a new headquarters
building and fifty acres of land
for experiment purposes. The
laboratory at present is inter-
ested primarily in breeding. It
is seeking to establish the va
riety of plant in each CONNER
cial crop best suited to this par
ticular section and to develop
crops not used here previously.
For example in the Logan bean
DR.. Jenkins has found bean with
double the production. This bean
this year had production Of
300 bushels to the acre COM
pared with a previous produc-
ton of $50 bushels. In addition
the Logan bean is fleshy, it is
not fibrous, and it has a greater
tenderness. Such qualities in a
particular plant breed naturally
mean increased profits for the
grower.
Similarly DR.. jenkins is test
ing and experimenting with va
rious breeds of tomatoes, cucum-
bers and sweet corn. He has
high hopes for a breed of let
tuce he is developing That
breed is now growing at the
laboratory but not as yet in
sufficient quantity for local use.
It may be two or three years
before there are enough seed
from this breed for local COM
mercial use. AS yet it is not
named being identified only by
number. But that illustrates
the unending search and expert
mentation and testing at the lab
ortory to determine or to devel-
op the breed of plant best suited
in every respect for the condi-
tions in this section of North
Carolina.
In addition to the commercial
vegetables the laboratory is do
ing research work in Towering
bulbs, such as daffodils, gladi-
oil and Dutch Iris. In this field
there are number of problems
such as basal rot, loss while in
storage, loss from transportation,
selection of fertilizers, restoration
of lime to the soil, the best plan
of rotation, the best chemical
and busting formulas for the
bulbs, and so on. It seems there
are a wealth of problems in bulb
production and marketing.
We inquired as to whether
there isework and production the
year round. The answer to that is
far more favorable than you
might think. Many of the growers
grow both commercial vegetables
and Towering bulbs. For the
Towering bulbs marketing sea-
sons are February, March, June,
July, October, November. For the
commercial vegetables the mar
keting seasons are lettuce,
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-31
Taken From Life

beans, cucumbers in the Spring,
fall beans in October, and in
November and December Cab
bages. broccoli, turnips. Thus you
see the grower can plan and
have rather full marketing
year-money coming in most
months.
The laboratory area covers
six counties. A plant pathologist
is expected to be located at the
laboratory shortly who will give
especial attention to plant and
bulb diseases. Also beginning
January and through the re-
mainder of January three men
will be at the laboratory to test
the various soils. The growers
are urged to bring soil samples
to the laboratory January 6
through January 81. The labora-
tory will furnish containers if
needed by the growers. This is
a special, added service to the
growers of this area.
Ordinarily each bulb grower
furnishes his own storage facil-
tiles. AS yet the loss Of some
bulbs while in storage has not
been eliminated, but in many
instances it has been reduced to
five per cent. There is a strong
probability that the chemical
and dust treatments prior to
storage will secceed in elimina-
ting all storage loss. Also study
is being given grading and pack
aging and the many fine points
in marketing that bring not onlI
top but premium prices to the
producers. Customers want
standardized, uniform products
as we'll as quality products. That
entails extra care and attention
all along the pathway from
planting to the consumer mar
ket.

MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

Written for NEA Service
A businessman plans his work
| for some time ahead. A woman
who does not plan her work in
advance will run into difficult
ties. But there are some people
who sit down to play bridge and
just play hands blindly with no
plan at all.
The problem confronting the
declarer in today's hand is,
where should the first diamond
trick be won, in dummy with
the ace or in declarer's hand
with the king?
The first thing for declarer
to do is count his tricks. He has
two diamond tricks, and if the
heart finesse fails he will still
has four heart tricks. These,
with the ace of CLOUDS and ace
of spades, make eight tricks.
|So he must make another spade
trick to make his contract. AS
West bid diamonds, in all prob
ability he has five, but certainly
at least four.
