I'm Votes in Favor Of
Mixed Marriages

GENEVA, Sept. /. (ANP)-A
resolution condemning legal bar
riers to ~interracial mixed mar
riages was passed last week by the
United Nations Economic and So
cial council.
No one objected to the princi-
pie of mixed marriages expounded
in the resolution, but m section
of the ruling was aimed at Russia.
This called for the condemnation
of forced separation of husbands
of wives Of different nations.
The motion, as a whole, was
aimed at the United States where
many of the various states have
passed laws against interracial
marriages.
The adopted resolution reads:
"The Economic and Social
council deplores all legislative
measures which forbid mixed mar

Mechanized Farming.
Good Or Bad for
West Africa?

LONDON, Aug. 81. (ANP) -
The question of whether West
Arifac, where for centuries farm
ing has been done in primitive
fashion, would be able to stand up
under mechanical farming, is be-
ing debated among native Afri-
cans and the British colonial de-
partment as well.
Native farmers believe that
mechanical farming cannot be
used in the territory with advan-
tage. They base their contention
on the fact that the soil is light
and thin and that heavy rainfalsl
during the rainy season would
wash all the top soil away unless
plenty of roots and plants are left.
Current practices among ma
atives are to clear very small
spaces and plant among the trees
and near shrubs.
On the other hand, a recent
report published by the West Afri-
can Oilseeds mission, headed by
G. F. Clay, agriculture adviser
to the secretary of state for the
colonies, favors the introduction
| of mechanical farming for ground
nuts cultivation In territories
where peasant farming is still in
a primitive stage.
The mission recommended that
if detailed surveys Of soil and
water proved satisfactory, five
areas should be developed. These
areas would total 100000 acres,
of which 2,750,000 would be cul-
tivated. They are situated in De-
maturu and Kontagora, in north.
ern Nigeria; western COMA and
north Ashanti, in the Gold Coast
and $4,000 acres in the Gambia.
In Liberia, the new Liberia com.
pany is planning large pilot farms
but is expected to cling closely te
methods employed for years by
Liberian farmers.
Under either scheme, farming
is not to be attempted on a large
scale plantation system, and agri
%culturists in tropical countries ar,
watching to see what the result
will be.

100000 Subsidiary
To Liberia Company
To Start Industries

-
Liberia company, organized last
September as a "pioneer expert
ment'' to develop the economy and
social standards of the Arifacn
republic with American capital,
was launched here last week, when
a 100000 subsidiary was set up
to carry on the development pro-
gram. The first two major pro-
jects were the Librian Interna-
tional Anyways, Ltd, and the Lii
IBERIA Cold Storage Company, Inc.
The new project called the Lii
berian Products company is de-
signed to train native labor in
pilot plants in logging, saw mill
ing, tinsmithing, textile produc-
ton, palm oil processing and fish
ing industries. Except for the lag
going and saw mill products, ev-
erything produced will go for ma
tive use. No census has ever been
taken in Liberia, but it is esti-
mated that there are 100000 ma
tives in the country.
Head of new project is Maj.
Gen. William w. Richards, colo
nail commandant of the royal or
dnance corps, who directed the
British army program of "local
manufacturers" in the middle east
during the war. In his former post,
Richards handled the expansion of
local production in Egypt, East
Arifac and the Sudan under emer-
gency conditions.
He left New York last week
for a short stay in England and
is expected to reach Liberia to-
ward the end of September to gel
the program moving. It is sale
that the program will be well un'
derway within three to si1
months.

lar flights from Dakar to Monro

Medical School 10
Admit Negro Girl.
Without Segregation

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. /.
(ANP)-The University of Ar
kansas Medical school will admit
one Negro student in September
without any segregation whatso-
ever, it was announced this week
by DR.. H. Clay Chenault, univer-
| sity vice president in charge of
medical education.
The colored . student will be
Edith Mae Irby, 20, of Hot
| Springs. This is believed to be the
first time since Recons truction a
school in this section has ever ad-
mitted a Negro student on such a
basis.
She is the only one accepted of
IL Negro applicants who wanted
to enter the medical school. Alto
gether the school admitted 81 out
Of 230 applicants from Arkansas.
Students were selected on the
basis of scores made on a medi-
cal aptitude test. The school had
planned to admit only 80 students
this fall, but Miss Irby's mark was
so high that the school decided
to accept her.
DR.. Chenault said:
"She will be a part of her class
Ijust like any other member. 1t is
physically impossible in a medica
education program to offer any
measure of segregation, especially
in the pre-clinical years of a medi
cal school.
"This situation presents quit,
a problem. But the faculty groul
completely approved her en-
trance"
When asked whether this &C
would be a continued school pol
icy, he said:
} "In accordance with the polio.

tees, Negro applicants who are

1913 Crop Outlook
Early July reports received by|
the Office of Foreign Agricultural
Relations indicate that the 1913
production of breadgrains in Eu-
rope, excluding the Soviet Union,
will be about 35 per cent higher
than in 1947. This production still
will be Is per cent below prewar
years. The outlook for other crops
also continues favorable.
Europe's wheat crop for 1913 is
tentatively forecast at l billion.
$50 million bushels, as compared
with a little over ! billion bushels
last year. Larger crops are re-
ported for all countries Of the con-
tent. Prospects for other crops,
except fruits, are also much bet
ter than year ago.
However, several factors point
to a continued need for substan-l
tial imports by the traditionally |
deficit areas. These factors in-l
clude increased population, the
need for general increases in food
consumption from the low levels
Of last year, and high extraction |
rates and low quality bread, plus |
extremely low reserves of grain in
many areas.
Harvesting Barley for Mailing
More interest in harvesting bar
ley for the mailing industry IS be-
ing expressed by Washington farm
ers this year, with their barley ac-
reage increased greatly from last
year. For Benton county farmers
in trying to make the
mailing grade, here are several
recommendations:
"Stop, look and adjust" are the
bywords for barley harvesting, as
passed along by E. J. Kreitzinger,
state extension agent.
Careful harvesting is necessary
for quality barley. The field
should be checked for moisture or
maturity. IF the moisture content |

is over IA per cent, ; the barley

until the moisture content is low.
cred.
Even though the barley may be
sufficiently mature, portions of
weeds and weed seeds may be
green enough to cause heating in
the bin. Cleaning the grain before
it is binned will be very helpful
when the grain carries such foreign
material.
Adjustment of machinery is inn

grain will thresh certain way

unless an adjustment is made.
Three main practices essential
for producing mailing quality are:

The 1852 Democratic absentee
ballots sent from the District to Ohio
for the November election carried
the State for President Truman,
Democratic national headquarters
officials declared today.
With an estimated 10000 alb
sentee ballots cast by District resi-
dents who maintain voting resi-
dences in other States, the District
made a strong and perhaps decisive
showing in some other State or local
elections, spokesmen for both major
parties said.
Republican officials conceded that
IF the Democratic absentee voters
in the District had laid down this
year the result in Ohio probably
would have been different" But they
noted that the Republican absentee
voters bureau here handled about
5000. That doesn't justify any slo-
gan that as the District goes so goes
Ohio, they commented.
Both party organizations here
said the number of absentee bal
lots actually processed here ex-
ceeded 1914 totals by 10000 to $4,000.
The Democratic bureau notarized
1900 an dserviced almost $1,000
more. The Republican bureau han
died about 70,100. In each instance
