Russia Could Have 300 Combat Divi- siOns In GO Days

SHIN GTON, (P) - Gen. Omar N. Bradley was quoted Sat urday as saying that Russia is capable of putting 300 divisions into combat within so days.
 Bradley gave this estimate of Russia's military strength, a Sen ator said, in urging the Senate ap- propriations committee to approve the $1,324,O1O,OOO foreign arms money bill. The measure approved blythe House Friday on a voice vote.
 Bradley told us Russia could put 300 divisions into combat in so days and could muster 502 divi- sions within a few months" a committee member said.
 He qouted the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff as saying total of $1,OO0,OOO,OOO worth of arms for Western Europe would be worth the cost if only to boost the morale of the European coun- tries.
 The general spent an hour with the committee discussing the mil itary situation in Europe.
 The committee turned to the foreign arms bill as this nations S own armed forces went technical ly broke in a stubborn row be- tween House and Senate over a S735,000,000 Senate cut in air force funds.
 The defense department said it had money to meet the regular Oct Is payroll but things might be different next month.

Pentagon Cripples Marine Corps Is Charge
(By Howard Dobson)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Gen. Cliff ton B. Gates, head of the Marine Corps, accused the army high command today of trying to wipe ou the combat power of the ma rine corps"
 Gates told the House armed services committee that the com bat morale of his fighting force still is high.
 But substantial harm has been done to the national defense, he said, by crippling handicaps" in flicted on the marine codps through Pentagon policies.
 Severe and telling blows are be- ing struck into the "bone and muscle" of the marines, Gates said. Reductions, he said, are striking into the heart of our combat forces"
 Gates was witness at the House groups hearings on the rows within its armed services. The navy is battling against policies which, it contends, builds up the air corps at the expense of the navy.
 The admirals argue that in high defense councils the army and the air force have joined up to out-vote the navy 2-1.
 Gates and Gen. A. A. Vande- grift, former commandant of marines, were called as the last witnesses for the navy. Next the committee will hear the other side of the dispute from air, force and army men.

Local Girl In On Truth Or COnse- quences Program

The popular Truth or Conse- quences" radio program, which goes in for novel and unusual pen alties for it's participants, reached out to Nome Saturday, when one of the participants, whose name is still unknown here had to make a date over the long distance phone from Los Angeles with an un- known girl, in an unknown place.
 Arrangements had been made through Joe Wallace for a local native girl to be on the long dis tance phone last Saturday. The girl, who for the present will be known as "Kiana White Bear," talked with the Los Angeles man on the Truth and Consequences program, and was dated for next Saturday in Nome, at which time he is scheduled to arrive and take her out for dinner.
 It is reported that the man who made the date left California to- day and will arrive here later in the week. Next Saturday he and his date will sing "It's Cold Out side" over the long distance phone as part of the Truth and Conse- quences program.
 The names of both participants will be announced by Joe Wallace later in the week when all details have been worked out.

Chinese Reds Enter Canton Sans Resistance

HONG KONG, (P) - Chinese communist conquerors walked in- to Canton Saturday. Their spear heads shot beyond the late nation alist capital toward the boundar- ies of Britain's Crown Colony of Hong Kong.
 The pro-communist newspaper Wen Wei Pao said green-clad red troops completely liberated" Can ton Saturday morning after an "orderly and peaceful" entrance into the South China metropolis, cradle of the revolution that over threw the imperial Manchus.
 Hong Kong was flooded with re- ports of Canton's occupation. But full details were not available be- cause normal communications have not been restored.
 Communist troops slashed down the Contan-Kowloon railway lead ing to the mainland borders of the Crown Colony. Hong Kong calmly awaited the approach of the Reds, and no trouble was expected.
 Military dispatches repor d the communists weer at Cheung miktau, a rail town only 20 miles from the British frontier.
 Over 32,000 British troops were on guard in a broad security belt just south of the frontier. They were backed with tanks, artillery, naval power and air cover.
 Nationalist troops garriSoning the Kowloon border Friday night began withdrawing in the familiar pattern just enacted by Canton's defenders and before that at Shanghai, Nanking and many an- other city. They fled westward, apparently hoping to escape by sea.
 The fate of the 80,000 national iSt troops who had been garrisoned at Canton was not known.
 As Nationalist South China died, acting president Lii Tsung- Jen pledged to flight to the fin ish" from the new refugee capital at interior Chungking. He talked about a counteroffensive against the Reds in the great southwest.

Hybrid Corn
Makes Better Yield
(By S. L. Homewood,
County Agent)

For the past four years the Coun-
| ty Agents office has carried on
work with with a number of farm
ers in order to get the most suitable
varieties of hybrid corn for McDow-
ell County. In 1948 the following
| farmers carried these demonstra-
| tions out on their farms: Elmer Bu-
chanan, Dysartsville section; John
A. Early, Crooked Creek section !;
Guy Little, Providence section; j..
c. Rabb, Pleasant Gardens section !;
Willie Elliott, Air Port section, and
Nolan Lawing, of the Greenlee sec
ton.
In these demonstrations the fol-
! lowing varieties of hybrid corn were
planted, and we feel we got suffi-
cient results to recommend these
varieties; leading in all demonstra-
tions was US 282 with 1868 bush
els per acre average for all the farm
ers participating, second was N. c..
T2O with 1920 bushels, third Ten
nessee 10 with 72.48 bushels, fourth
was N. C. 26 with 70.13 bushels,
fifth, Dixie II with 67.49 bushels,
sixth, open pollinated corn with
55.45 bushels, seventh was 1880
with 54.O3 bushels, eight was N.
re. 27 with 52.88 bushels, ninth,
Ledford with 51,68 bushels, tenth
was PHO with 1885 bushels, and
the eleventh was Greys with 41.06
bushels.
This was the results of the four
years of this demonstration. The
five leading hybrids have been lead
ing each year, although they have
shifted places as N. G. T20 was first
last year, and the year before Ten
nessee 10 was first. -Four years ago
US282 gave the highest yield. From
the results of these demonstrations
we feel that we are safe in recon-
mending these hybrids. Three of
them are being produced in Nc
Dowell County, therefore seed will
be available for this planting season.
The varieties grown were US 282,
Dixie IT, and N. C. 720. There has
been one noted condition with the
hybrid corn, and that is the seeds
that were produced locally here in
the County produced 8 to rs bushels
more corn per acre than seed that
was ordered from outside the Coun-
ty.
1t is hoped that every farmer
who plans to plant corn in 1949 will
study these figures and get the hy-
brid most suited for their local con-
ditions.
Clyde Gillian in the Crooked
Creek section has been producing
hybrid corn for seed for the last
four years, and was the first pro-
ducer of hybrid seed corn in the
County. He started producing US
1882 in 1914 and is still producing
this variety.
Howard Lawing, of the Glenwood
section, has been producing N. C.
T20 for the past two years. There
is still need for other hybrid seed
corn growers in the County, as these
producers have not been able to pro-
duce enough for the demand. Hybrid
corn alone will not make big yields,
but with proper seed, proper seed
bed preparation, the right fertili-
zer, the correct methods of cultiva-
ton it will make better yields.
