Master OF State Grange Es-
Inmates Severe Loss Over
Import Ban

RALEIGH, Oct. 27. - P -
North Carolina is faced with the
prospect of losing between $75,-
100000 and $1OO,0OO,000 in farm
income next year if the tobacco
crop is reduced as much as 20
per cent, Harry B. Caldwell, mast
er of the State Grange, told a
meeting of the Oranges Tobac-
co committee here today.
The committee, which met to
study how to meet the situation
caused by the British ban on i'm
ports of American tobacco, pass
ed resolutions:
/. Urging the governor i'm
mediately to appoint a committee
of agriculture leaders to study
the possibilities of developing
new sources of farm income.
2. Endorsing a proposal under
which the Commodity Credit
Corporation would be authorized
to loan money to underwrite to-
bacco purchases by British buy
ers.
3. Asking that tobacco be in
cluded in assistance provided tc
European nations under the Mar
shall plan.
Caldwell pointed out that the
loss of $75,0OO,000 to $1O0,O00,000
in farm income would occur if
tobacco acreage is cut 20 per
cent and prices remain at their
present level. The loss would be
even greater if prices decline, he
warned.
One resolution pointed out that
the states economy would suffer
a heavy blow if such a loss in
farm income is realized, and that
ultimately the states ability to
pay for its public services might
be affected.

Peace Publicity
Will Be Fostered
Compro c mise Resolution
Receives Unanimous Vote
OF Delegates

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct.
27. -W.P)- The United Nations
Political committee, handing Rus
sia moral victory, today con-
demned all forms of war propa-
ganda wherever found.
The committee, composed of all
UN members, voted Sc to 0, for a
compromise resolution deploring
war propaganda and calling on
all governments to promote pub
licity for peace.
The compromise was far cry
from an original Russian resolu-
ton which would have named the
United States, Turkey and Greece
as centers of propaganda for a
new war. But the United States
had opposed even compromise
for fear that any type OF anti
propaganda resolution would be
interpreted in Europe as accept
ance of Russ'''s Warmongering
charge against leading Americans.
The compromise was hammered
out in three and one-half hour
session that forced the committee
to ballot 13 times. The United
States faced with overw helming
defeat if it persisted in opposing
every compromise, reluctantly
joined Russia and the rest of the
committee in voting for the final
resolution.
Unanimous Vote
Every UN member except Haiti,
which was absent, voted yes"
The ballot marked the first time
that conciliation-minded little
countries have forced Russia and
the United States - usually at
opposite extremes on every ques-
ton - to get ,>gether on a mid
dle-of-the-road program.
AS the ballotting progressed,
both Russia and the United States
avered. Russia first dropped ths
clause in its resolution which
would have branded the United
States, Turkey and Greece as
warmongers. The committee then
rejected the rest Of the Soviet
resolution in a series of para
graph h-by-paragraph votes, % to
18, 29 to 18, AZ to 6, and 40 to Z.
When the committee moved on
to compromise written by
France, Australia and Canada, the
United States prepared an amend
ment that would condemn gov-
ernment-controlled newspapers
+ direct slap at Russia. But
when the time came to introduce
the amendment, American dele
gate Warren Austin sat silent.
The chance to amend passed.

PRODUCER LEVEL
CONTROL HINTED
White House Adviser SAYS
Idea Now Under "Serious
Consideration"

WASHINGTON, Oct. n ~
Price control over producers of
some foods and basic commod-
tiles was reported to be under
"serious discussion" today as
the administration pieced to-
gather an anti-inflation plan for
submission to Congress on Nov.
II.
A high White House adviser,
who usually does not speak for
publication, used the "serious
discussion" phrase but en-
phasized that any proposed
price regulations would be linn
tied in scope.
"No grandiose price ceiling
plan could get by the present
Congress-, he declared to a
newsman.
But he noted that thinking
has shifted" even among some
Republicans, toward sue h
measures as price restraints at
the producer level. He noted
that Senator Flanders (R-VD
has suggested, as one possibil-
ity. that the government might
buy the entire wheat crop and
sell it at fixed prices, with con-
troll over the profit mark-up as
the grain moves through trade
channels. Flanders said the sys-
tenn has checked price rises in
Canada.

have hinted at the possibility OF
