Wallace Likely To Form Third Party
(By Jack BelD

WASHINGTON, LP)-The Dem ociatic leadership gave up about its last hope today that Henry A. Wallace could be persuaded not to endanger President Truman'S re- election prospects by boiling and running on a third party ticket.
 A cryptic That's his privilege was the retort of Senator MCGrath RID, chairman of the Democratic national committee, to Wallace's Buffalo, N Y. assertion that if it came to a choice between PreSi- dent Truman and Senator Taft R.-Ohio) he would vote for Taft.
 From the Democratic organiza- ton standpoint, this put Wallace, former vice president and RooSe- welt cabinet member, about as far beyond the pale as he can go with out actually announcing that he himself is going to run as an inde- pendent.
 The Democratic national com mittee for months has levelleC! most of its fire at Taft. A recent party publication contended, for instance that the Ohio Senator represents the body of Republican 1 thinking and ought to be the COP, nominee.
 At his Buffalo news conference yesterday Wallace also mentioned Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New

Jew Commanders Raise Death Toll In Palestine
(By The Associated Press)

Jewish commanders, striking Haifa to Hebron killed IA Arabs today. The 13-day death toll in the communal strife over the i'm pending partition of Palestine rose to 187 in the Holy Land and 3O3 in the Middle East.
 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin told the House of Commons that May IS is the latest date on which Britain intends to abandon her Palestine mandate.
 Bevin said he hoped the Jews "in New York" and Jews and Arabs everywhere would mot ex asperate and make more difficult the task that has to be faced" in the partition of the small, strategi- cally placed country.
 Defense minister Ahmad Shar- abati of Syria voiced in Cairo Arab determination to fig h t against creation of Jewish state, saying all Palestine would become a battlefield with the Arabs "going into blood bath to cleanse them selves"
 "The Peoples army is more than capable of defeating the Zionists," :" he said, referring to volunteer force of some "tens of thousands" which the Arabs planned to use,

there discussion about an area
larger than a county and often
1t is confined to a community.
Another thing you cannot fail
to observe is the large number
OF men who feel that the day
has not started and they cannot
start the days work until thew
have read a morning newspaper.
We think we know the reason,
but we will not state it, how
ever, there is beginning to creep
into the conversations a realiza-
ton that respect for the courts
is fundamental. They are talk
ing some, not too much, about
the fact that orderly government
becomes impossible once respect
for the courts is lost. We hear
laymen talking about the place
of grand juries, about what can
be done by judges, mainly about
what can be accomplished by
the legal procedures that precede
actual trial. At present it is that
phase of the courts that is being
mentioned. Yet, as a ccnse-
q uence, people ar
thinking more about the respon-
sibilities of courts.
lnter-city competition is
another item you run across in
conversations. How best can a
Merchants association 60 out
after new industries and new
pay rolls? Is it wise for the as
ISOLATION of one community to
oppose the effort of that of a
nearby community? Should there
be a regional or sectional organ
ization to coordinate the efforts
OF Merchants associations and
Chambers of Commerce? Will
the people contribute to a fund
to be used for seeking, new in
dustries and payrolls?
To illustrate how far this line
of thinking has progressed, you
hear comparisons of the growth
of a business already in . the
community with a new payroll.
People are asking how much in
the way of a new payroll result
ed from the expansion of a local
business. They compare that with
the employment offered by a
new concern.
Finally, the people are talking
about the principle of success
breeding success; how it is the
more a town grows the better
opportunity it has for additional
growth. Rather quietly they are
turning that over in their minds.
The people are talking.

What may surprise you most
is that they are discussing ma

Taken From Life

Probably ranking next to ma
tlonal politics as a conversation
topic is athletics. Nearly every
community has a team in some
league. You hear about the clos
ing season of baseball and the
opening season of football on
every hand. The discussion gets
heated about the merits or de-
merits of a radio broadcaster of
athletic contests. That is some
thing the people know in surpris-
ing detail. They take the sports
writers to pieces equally extern
sively.
AS we noted in a previous
column, diversification of farm
crops is a frequent topic. Mer-
chants and bankers are study
ing its effects and how it can
be promoted. In most of the
conversations, onlv the 1oca1

akeTre7E1 from my stomach, 2 says Hasfrs
sssst n. Byerly, one of the travelling auc-
stfoneers at the Upper Marlboro tobacco
market. which dispoSes of a half million
pounds OF Maryland leaf per day.
II Just let the words roll up from below
and my throat acts as sort Of microphone

sold $4,000 600 pounds last year-and I've
yet to have sore throat"
The vocal part of selling tobacco is the
easiest, although newcomer to the mar
ket, hearing the seemingly unintelligihle
iargon of the auctioneer for the first time
might think otherwise.
No, says Mr. Byerly, the hardest part is
catching the buyers signals. The buyers,
representing the major cigarette COM
panies and independent firms, trail the
auctioneer up and down the lanes of heaped
tobacco like children after Pied Piper
In trying to keep their bids hidden from
one another they use all sorts of subtle
pantomime which is interpreted by the
ngsloneer IA nod or wink or a scratch
sM the head means bid and up goes the
price. Furthermore, says Mr. Byerly, when

Snessl you don't have time for oral formali-
ties
= Notice that fellow beside me kept punch
Ing me In the leg? Every time he did that
he was making bid. Another fellow steps
ON my foot. Another one just sticks out his
9eongue. Oh, you learn 'em all by experience.
q There was once lady reporter came
TO the market down in Georgia. She stood
around watching the bidding. Then she
walked over to where the warehouseman
was paying off the growers after the sale
and asked him what he was doing He told
her She said, DO you mean that all these
people, winking, nodding and waving their
arms and carrying on, are serious buyers?
And this warehouseman says to her, Lady
I've paid out $500 this morning. If that
amt serious business it's pretty expensive
ioke'"
Bids in the tobacco market are stand
ardized. When the bidding price is below
SIS any signal means an automatic 25-cent
raise; when the price is between SIS and
SIS signal means a 5O-cent increase,
and from $25 up any bid means ST boost
That's why bidder need never say word.
II there Is ever any question over who
wins the bid just open up the basket and
sell 1t over again. explains MIR. Byerly.
Mr.. Byerly is quite willing to sing out his
chant in slow time for the benefit of
novice. You get used to it in no time,"
he says.
This is no job. It's profession, and it
calls for good voice, an alert eye and
ability to concentrate. All the while I'm
selling I'm rolling my eyes, looking for any
sign of bid. It's a -wracking busi-
ness, specially in a hot warehouse in mid
summer
I've plowed and sawmilled, but this is
the only thing I've ever done where I can
sweat right through my shoes. Why I've
lost as much as pounds on one sale.
I carry salt tablets to keep from keeling
over when I'm working on hot day"
