State Officials
In Washington
On Corn Problem

Raleigh, Dec. 10-(AP)-T w o
of the states leading agricul-
ture officials left for Washing
ton last night to confer with fe-
deral officials about North Caro-
lina's surplus corn problems.
The men were Commissioner of
Agriculture D. S. Coltrane and
Harry Caldwell of Greensboro j,
Master of the State Grange.
The meeting was arranged by
Caldwell with an assistant to the
secretary of agriculture and an
assistant of the grain branch of
the production and marketing ad
ministration.
This years Tar Heel corn crop
is a record breaking 76,000,00
bushels and although price
supports for no. corn are set
at 31,61 a bushel, many farm
ers are having to sell as low as
80 cents a bushel.
Under the present federal pur-
chase agreements calling for de-
livery within 80 days after June
|, farmers in this region are
handicapped because of weevil
infestation which develops when
warm weather sets in. Weevil
damage voids any corn for eli
gibitly under the purchase agree
ment act.

conditions.
Without acknowledging or
denying the incidents, Capt,
Vincent H. Gookin, U. S. Air
Safety officer, replied in a let

Nations official said Israel
agreed today to dicker over lift
ing the Jewish siege of 1900
Egyptian troops trapped at Fal-
uja, in the Negev Desert of
Southern Palestine.
The Israeli government notifi-
ed the acting Palestine mediator,
DR.. Ralph J. Bunche, that it is
ready to negotiate a stage-by-
stage withdrawal of its troops
from the Negev, the official said.
This would permit the Egypt
ian force at Faluja, besieged al
most since the start of the Is
raeli October offensive in the
Negev, to get out.
The Israeli reply brought can
collation. of scheduled meeting

Eban of Israel had been expect
ed to tell the committee the
Faluja forces would be freed.

Christmas Sales Records; FRB
Report Shows Drop Of Four Percent

Washington, Dec. 10-(AP)-'
Yule shoppers are on the verge
of ending the Christmas sales
records which have scared high
er each year of the past decade.
With only 13 more gift-buying
days to go, department store
sales have dropped below last
years mark for the fifth straight
week, the Federal Reserve Board
reported last night. This is the
longest consecutive decline since
the war.
Some officials here said no
longer can there be any doubt
that price resistance and the
living cost squeeze, particularly
on those in low income brackets,
are playing a part in the down.
trend.
Specials" blossoming out in
store ads across the nation show
ed many merchants agreed with
that view.
Some storemen who earlier had
