Bv Associated Press


WASHINGTON-Crop production
this year tuurI1ed out to be the
fourth largest on record despite a
severe drought which cut the corn
harvest to the smallest since 1886,
the governments final production
report of the year showed this
week.
The total crop volume was top
ped only in 1912, 1914 and 1916. 1t
was only slightly more than per
cent below the 1916 record.
The report, issued by the Agri-
culture Department, cut about 2
per cent off the November estimate
for the three major grain crops
corn, wheat and oats-to further
tighten an already short grain sup
ply situation and to complicate the
foreign food aid program.
The final estimate on corn was
2,400,952,000 bushels, or about
AZ 100000 less than the November
forecast. This was 26 per cent be-
low last years record of 3,249, $780,
600 and 8 per cent below the 10
year (1936-45) average OF $685.
100000.
The final wheat estimate was l.
364, $4,000 bushels decline OF
41,842,000 bushels from the prev
ious figure. The crop remained the
largest on record, being so per cent
greater than the 10-year, average
and 18 per cent larger than last
years crop.
The department cut about 16,000,-
COO bushels off the November esti-
mate for oats, leaving it at 1,215,-
$4,000 bushels, compared with L.
479 100000 last year and 1,161 ,282,-
600 for the 10-year average.
Exports Are Question
These reductions in major grain
crops raised new doubts as to this
country's ability to meet a grain
export goal of 57O,O00,OO0 bushels
for the crop year ending next July

Carolina was voted unfavorably
today by house judiciary commit
tee no. 2, which demonstrated de-
termined opposition to the legisla'
lures practice Of setting up licens'
ing and regulatory boards for vari
Gus professions and trades.
The committee vote was 9 to s
against a favorable report, with
chairman Robert Moseley of Gull
ford breaking the tie and dealing
the fatal blow to the measure,
which had passed the senate
| where it was sponsored by Senator
Julian Allsbrook of Halifax.

able to find that such a bill was
in the public interest.
They pointed to the fact that the
state now has 81 licensing anc

that the practice of setting uI

CIVILIANS HEAR
0RMOND SPEECH
Railway Official Addresses
Club At Regular Ses-
sion Yesterday

Declaring that the country cannot
! stand the amount of taxes now be-
ing drained off industries and indi-
viduals, Lewis F. Ormond, Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad comptroller.
told members of the Civitan club
yesterday that if you do not see
that the national budget is cut. IN.
necessary civilian employees reliev-
ed OF their jobs, and taxes reduced,
you have only yourself to blame. ;
Ormond, introduced by Maurice
Earnhill, addressed members of
tie Civitan club during their regu-
lar luncheon meeting yesterday in
the Crystal restaurant on Govern
mental Reports" Reports grow as
business multiplies, he said; the
mel in Washington dream up
more report requirements, and
more men are required to handle
them" We have twice the number
OF civilian governmental employees
now as at any time prior to the
War-aad that raises the national
budget. ne said.
The railroad industry was one of
the first to become subjected to
government regulations, Ormond
said. as, since 1887, the railroads
have been responsible for all ac-
tons to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The ice was estab-
llshed in answer to a real need to
regulate railway rates and charges
and to eliminate rebates, and has
grown until now it governs rail-
roads, lessons of railroad property,
and all concerned with it.
The speaker told something of the
tremendous amount of paper work
necessary to complete the infinitely
detailed reports which must be sub
mitted by his office each month,
containing details of all train
movements. The 400, 900 way bills
handled each month must be ana
lyzed, reports made, and averages
computed, he said.
Preceding his talk. Ray Gallo
way, state vice-commander of the
American Legion. asked the mem
bers of the club for their coopera-
ton in securing rooms, food, and
entertainment for the thousands of
visitors that will swarm New Han
over county during the state Ameri-
can Legion convention at Carolina
Beach in June.
W. L. Farmer, general chairman
OF the convention, told the Civilians
that more than %, 900 Legionnaires
will spend four days here and that
the convention will bring a quarter
million dollars into the county.
Lloyd Jackson, Civitan president
announced that Franklin Bell will
act as secretary of the club for
the remainder of the year, due to
the resignation of Fred Rippy.
Guests of the club other than the
speakers were W. T., Gale of Rich
mond, Va. and Bill Crabb.

Phillips didn't even get a screen

Yet if it weren't for the men

They know more secrets about the

"Sha can't stand to be shut up
