enough hay to feed his own cattle
and Workstoek and have some ex-
ira to sell. These increased yields
which brought higher cash returns
encouraged him to seek TO further
expand his livestock enterprise.
A few years ago, he had the
opportunity of adding 440 acres to
his farm, 1t was just what he had
been looking for.
This year, he had 1873 acres in
cotton, about the same amount
in corn and soybeans. and the rest
in pasture and woodland. In his
pastures Craze los head of beef
cattle and two purebred Hereford
bulls. Also, there are close to 100
head of hogs on the place, and
Mrs. Olive has so turkeys.
In l949, the Olives crossed Si3,-
900; a good part of which went to
the Is tenant families on their
place.
When asked about his long range
plans, he says he hopes to in
crease his cattle herd to 125 cows
and three bulls. Il am going to
keep all my helfer calves until !
reach that number he speeu-
lates.
When he took over the farm, the
average gross income was about
$4,000. Good soil practices, the
addition of beef cattle and the eX-
ira land, and, of course. the better
cotton prices account for the ex-
, ira $4,000 the farm is now gross
ing" he asserts.
Most of the food the Olives and
their 3-year-eld son consume is
grown on their farm, as is tru,
of their tenants. Mrs. Olive sci.

successfully emerged from the adj
descent period of our lives and
enter upon the brink of a new

we find the young man and the

VA not to be worried if they have
not received their dividends yet,
even though other veterans with
serial numbers ending in higher
figures have received theirs. The
fact is, the VA said, not all vet
Grams whose serial numbers end in
low figures have been paid, while
some veterans whose service num-
bers end in 800 have gotten
their checks.
Many groups of dividend appli-
cations have been handled outside
the general production line, the VA
explained. In number of cases
the service or serial number given
by the veteran did not jibe with
VA records. Other cases required
hand processing, which was slower
than the machine processing used
for most dividend applications.
All groups of applications that
had to be handled outside the main
machine production line were ex-
ceptions to the general rule that
dividends were to be paid in ac-
cordance with the three last digits
of the veterans service or serial
number. These exceptions made
that rule applicable only to the
majority of cases.
The Treasury will complete the
bulk of its check writing by June
80, the VA said Veterans were
asked not to write the VA about
their dividends between now and
June 80. If they have received
Acknowledgements of their appli-
cations they should expect to re-
ceive their check before that date.

Judge Hdstie's APP
pointnent Hits Snug
Com. Requests
Presence

WASHINGTON -(ANP) THE
confirmation of Judge William H
Hastie's appointment to the po-
sition of Federal Circuit Judge
hit snag in the Senate Judiciary
committee last week, when the
chairman Pat McCarran announced
that the committee would not take
action on this nomination until
the judge had appeared before it in
an extensive session.
The delay in the confirmation OF
Judge Hastie's appointment to-
gether with that of Judge T.
Washington, was made public after
an executive meeting in which
the committee approved two other
nominations to Federal Courts
in Washington. All of the judges
are serving under recess appoint
ments made by President Truman
last fall.
Sen. McCarran would not dis
cuss the reasons for the delay in
committee action on these two
judges, hut sources indicate that
Judge Washington's nomination
was held up over question raised
about an Interpretation of the Taft
Hartley law attributed to him
while he was in the justice depart
ment. The same source revealeS
that Judge Hastie's appointment
was delayed for further inquiry
into his connections with certain
organizations.
An opposition to Judge Hastie's
appointment arose in the commit
tee hearing last week through a
letter addressed to the chairman
and signed by Bern Dibney of New
York. The opposition was based
on an address which Judge HASTE
delivered at an NAACP conference
held in Los Angeles last July. It
also opposed his appointment on
the ground that he had been active
in the National Lawyers guild,
described as a Communist-front
organization.
The National Lawyers guild and
the American Bar Association
heartily Endorsed Judge HASTE as
being highly qualified" for the
office and a man of sterling char
acter" and great integrity"
Judge HASTE, former dean of
Howard University law school and
former governor of the Virgin
Islands is now serving in the Third
Circuit court of Appeals, covering
Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the
Virgin Islands.
Judge Washington, former as
sistant U. S. solicitor general, is
serving on the U. S. Appeals Court
for the district.
