DISTILLERS WILL
Be ASKED TO AID
Luchman, Anderson To
Confer With Industry
Group On Food Plans

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 H.
A conference with distillers and
brewers on using less grain for
liquor has been arranged for
Saturday as part of the emer-
gency campaign to find food for
hungry Europe.
Charles Luckman, chairman
of President Truman's citizens
food committee, ard Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson, it was
learned tonight, will discuss
with industry representatives
how they can contribute to the
program for saving 100, 900, 900
bushels of grain.
That figure is the Presidents
goal. Part of the grain would
60 to France, which appealed
today for more American dol
lars to buy food and fuel. Amer
lean officials, however, still
had to be convinced that
France would be, unable to
scrape through to Dec. /.
Agriculture Department ex-
perts said they did not know
how much grain could be saved
if distilleries and breweries shut
down partly or completely.
They lack figures on postwar
grain consumption in these
plants.
Rough Guess
One rough guess put con-
sumption by distillers alone at
around so, 000, 00C bushels a
year.
Any curbs the distillers might
volunteer, a spokesman for dis
tilling interests said, would
mean, chiefly, a reduction IN
the amount of blended Whistles
in liquor stores later on. Blends
are a mixture of aged whiskles

SCHOOLS BOYCOTT
CASES RETURNED
State Board Kicks Contro.
versities Back To Local
Authorities

RALEIGH, Oct. 2 -W.H-The
State Board of Education today
kicked back to local school au-
thorities three parents boycotts
which had kept students at
home in widely-separated coun-
ties.
The walkouts affected schools
at Sharon in Iredell county, Alb
bottsburg in Bladen county and
Sunny View in Polk county.
A board committee reported
that parents in the Sharon dis
pute had voted to send their
children to two other schools
until the row is settled perma-
nently. The parents were strik-
ing to have the Sharon school
rebuilt. The building burned in
1913 and the district has since
been consolidated with two 9th
ers.
Keep Children Home
Parents at Abbottsburg had
kept their children home in pro-
test against sending them to
Bladenboro, four miles away,
after the Abbottsburg school
burned last year.
The Bladen County School
Board reported that overcrowd-
ed conditions to which the Alb
bottsburg patrons objected had
been eliminated.
The state board at its month
" meeting also heard a delega-
ton of dissatisfied parents from
Sunny View, near Tryon, who
protested against sending their
children to Mill Spring after the
Sunny View school was closed
last spring.

lima during the last nine months.
Socey said that most of the
notes have been passed in the
eastern section of the state.
"The amount is not abnormal"
he added, and said that it was
mot alarming"
The secret service chief said
that the bills were apparently
passed in the normal course of
business, one at a time, on the
average of about one every week
or 10 days.
With the exception of those
passed at the Coast Line, no other
reports of the bogus money have
been revealed here.

Congress Expected To

Morning Star Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Oct. . If
Congress grants the necessary
additional funds, the Army
Engineers may finish by next
summer their work of expand
ing the Cape Fear rivers main
channel at Wilmington, N. c.,
from 80 to 80 feet in depth and
from 300 to 400 feet in width,
Capitol Hill sources said today.
The project is about seventy

and the dredging will be carried
forward steadily this fall with
the $500, 900 appropriated for the
purpose in the current fiscal

There is a strong possibility
that Congress will approve the

as one thing and ended up as
another. She was on her way after
luncheon to a final fitting OF a
suit she fell in love with the other
day on Connecticut avenue.
She, too, was rather surprised
that this should be the case. She
had no thought that she would be
doing anything of the sort on Fri
day afternoon. 1t came about as
a result of her agreement to model
the suit, blouse and hat in one
of those fashion photographs that
newspapers talk actresses and other
women, into making.
When the proposition was made
to her, it was submitted that she
was just the type for the hat, blouse
and suit in question. She had heard
that before, as what woman has
not, and she thought nothing Of it.
1t turned out, however, to be the
literal truth. She had no sooner
modelled the blouse and hat than
she bought them, just like that.
But she did hold out on the suit,
long enough to see herself and it
in the picture. Then she just called
and told them to put it aside with
the hat and blouse.
She was on her way to collect
them and that is why she was in
a bit of a hurry at luncheon.
r X
Erin, whose other names are too
hard to type what with that apos-
trophe and hyphen, did have some
other ideas on her mind.
One of them, oddly enoguh, was
about newspapers. In no sense of
taking the attitude that if they
could criticize her, she could criticize
them, she had some suggestions as
to the kind Of journalism she
prefers.
She wishes, for instance, that edi-
torial writer's would get more ex-
cited and whip up more zest on the
part of their readers.
"Life'S exciting" she says. 1T
never was more so. I wish news
papers would get more excited about
it instead of seeming so aloof and
unruffled."
Like playwrights?" she was
asked.
"Why not?" she wanted to know.
Not being an editorial writer,
Miss Moore's kipper- r-and-egg COM
panion evaded the question.

Compositor) thinks that is one of

and Russell Grouse became so en-

the hazard of being unable to COM
municate their feeling. But it

know, as a result OF having played
Mrs. Grant Matthews over most OF
the Nations geography.
She is enchanted with the notion
that, If only for little while, the
political comedy, with its humor
and satire, stirs laggard citizens out
of the apathy which Lindsay and
Grouse abhor.
And which she abhors along with
them.
Erin (isn't that better, Mr.. Print
er?) has already done a lot of trav-
cling in Estate of the Union" and is
scheduled to do a lot more. She
has been trying for a long time to
get home briefly to New York and
thought she might make it over
week end of the Washington en-
gagement. Now she knows she
won't do that, and what is more, she
starts west again after the local
booking. The first stop is Cleveland
and the trip will become more and
more westerly until August.
"But in this play" she says, "that
Is just fine. I don't think any one
could get tired playing it. And the
audience response is always SO good,
everywhere"
She grants there is nothing like
good audience response to keep an
actress, in fact a whole company,
happy.
About travel, Erin brings up a
point that should be interesting to
Washington audiences. Most espe-
cially to those theatergoers here
who get the notion that companies
coming out of the West are taught
to overact, as II audiences are less
alive to Subtlety.
"It's not that at ALL" she says
"In the Middle West, you know, we
play in theaters about the size of
football stadia. You've got to play
big and loud and that is all there
is to it.
"Why, on opening night here I got
the impression in the middle of the
first act that I was shouting. If
you got The same impression I
wouldn't blame you. 1t was simply
that had to readjust to the size of
the theater, which is larger than
most in New York, but smaller than
so mzr@ elsewhere"
She had to run then, to pick up
that suit, blouse and hat.

planted SO for good results.
II soWn direct in the garden, then
all types should be planted just as
soon as the ground can be prepared.
The soil should be spaded l to 2
feet deep, preferably in the previous
fall. Sweet peas demand rich feed
ing. At least a pint of balanced
plant food should be spaded into
the soil for each 25-foot row.
The old practice of sowing the
seed al the bottom Of a trench sew
eral inches deep and filling in with
soil as the plants grow is going out
of favor. The trenches often fill
with water and disease is encour-
aged. If the soil is spaded deeply
the seed may be planted an inch or
two deep and the roots will go down
far enough.
Sweet peas are legumes and take
nitrogen from the air. They bene-
fit if the seed are innoculated with
a bacterial culture sold for that
purpose. The vines should have
something to climb as soon as they
reach a height of 6 inches.
