you are a real trout fisherman
you can get your limit in noun

US. Wants Russia To Return Ships

Continued from Page One) January. Thus far, they said, Rus sia has stalled" about turning them back.
 The original request for return of the vessels went out early in the negotiations. Apparently ir- ritated by Russia's failure to com ply, the State Department in Jan uary then demanded their "im- mediate return"
 Marshall said the Russians have returned eight merchant ships "lend-leased" to them but they still hold 87 others. The return of these is one of the main topics under discussion.

Face Cotton Crisis as
Mexico Refuses 10
Send Cotton Pickers

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 80.
(ANP)-A cotton crisis faces the
state Of Arkansas as the Mexican
government refused to send $50
Mexican laborers to pick cotton in
Jackson county last week.
This county was added to the
list of counties in various south
ern states black listed by Mexico
because of their discrimination
against the Latin workers.
Arkansas has a 100000 bale
cotton crop that has to be picked
despite a serious labor shortage
here. Cotton producers are facing
serious loss unless more workers
can be obtained for the fields.
With the scarcity of labor,
wages Of Negro cotton pickers
have scared to $40 to $15 a day.
Jackson county was denied its
$50 workers when the signature
Of only one more Mexican official
was needed, according to Earl Lit
Teton Of Newport. He said that
he would probably have to turn
them over to another county
(Poinsett) or release the workers.
Littleton was recruiting workers
in Mexico.
