81 Delta Counties
Designated AS
Area For Disaster
Crop Loans

Five counties in the Central Mis-
sissippi Delta have been designated
as a Disaster area by Secretary of
Agriculture according to an an
nouncement made today by Mr.. T.
B. Fatherree, State Director, Farm
ers Home Administration. Those
counties are: Bolivar, Washington.
Sunflower, Humphreys and Shar-
key.
The designation was made fol-
lowing survey of the area under
the, direction of Mr.. Dallas C. Van
dlevere, Chief, Production Loan
Operations, Farmers Home Ad-
mipistration, Jackson, Mississippi.
The basic reason given for the
number of failures by farmers of
the area was the rather peculiar
weather conditions which prevailed
over the area during the growing
season. The prolonged drouth dur
ing the planting season, followed
by excessive rains and then another
drouth in the late summer and
early fall. reduced many cotton
yields to a fraction of the normal
production. The survey revealed
the fact that many farmers were
required to replant cotton several
times in order to obtain stands, and
in good many instances the re-
planted cotton came up but there
was not sufficient moisture to take
care of plant growth until late in
the season. Heavy rains with high
fertilization then resulted in a very
grassy crop, much of which was
abandoned.
Based upon this designation, the
Farmers Home Administration is
in position to assist those farmers
who suffered disaster and who are
unable to provide their credit needs
for the 1852 crop year through the
usual credit channels. Mr.. Father
re pointed out that this authority
is intended to assist only those
farmers who should stay in farm
ing as a business and is in no way
intended to ''bail out" farmers who,
through poor farming methods and
the use of lands unsuited for farm
ing, have failed. In other words,
the assistance is to the farmers
rather than to the creditors of the
distressed farmers. This authority
does not cover refinancing chattel
debts and paying off old debts.
Farmers desiring information
concerning these loans can OBJ
tain full details from County FILA
Supervisors whose offices are
located in Cleveland, Greenville, In
dianola, Belzoni and Rolling Fork
Mississippi.

patrols would ask for a word with
"Rev" before their missions be-
gan.
And when the men were unable
to congregate because of battle
conditions, the "Rev." broadcast
the gospel on a power phone.
at got so that if "Rev." was alb
sent, the men would call up to ask
where he was," said 1t. Hampton
Alyer, an Easy company officer.
'1t seemed that no matter what
a mans faith was, it made him
feel good to hear "Rev" in his
quiet, low voice assure us we were
fighting for something worthwhile,
and in any case there was some
body above US all who understood
our fears and was with u.s."
The "Rev." is a soldier, but he
doesn't like war. He told the men
he lived with, he would never
take life unless he had to do it
to save the wounded in his care.
One of the infantrymen of Easy
Company, Cpl. Hubert Macdonald
of Atlanta, Ga, explained:
"The Rev would carry the wea-
pom of any tired soldier up to the
point where it was to be used.
From then on he would not touch
it."
But on the piece of land that
earned the name "bloody ridge"
Thompson took a rifle in his hands
and for the first time in his life,
he used it.
At that time, he braved cross
fire from communist guns to warn
platoon that it was walking into
a trap.
Then he took rifle and offered
covering fire as others carried the
wounded to the rear" For this he
received a silver star.
Later in the same battle, he used
the rifle again, while dressing the
wounds of two men in a foxhole,
amid rain of mortar shells, he
was attacked by five North Ko-
reans. The "Rev." fired rapidly;
three of the North Koreans were
killed
What happened-lose your relig-
ion?" asked one of the wounded.
The "Rev.'s" reply was practi-
cal and to the point. He said
mo | just remembered the old
prophets combined the spiritual
with the physical needs of men.
Figured those Reds needed a little
of the physical SO that we'd have
chance to gain physically now
and spiritually later.
The "Rev" has lived through his
share of battles-on the ridges
named Bloody" "Kim-II Sung"
and "Heartbreak."
He expects to soon return to

The Rev. CLANCY told his audi
ence that Christ has no respector
of person and that with the COM
ing of Him it was definitely es-
tablished that no one race had the
monopoly upon religion, science,
politics, or station in life. "Those
who still think so are cropping in
the wilderness of race hatred, big
otry, discrimination and segrega-
tion," he said.
The conference closed with the
reading Of appointments by Bishop
James Clair Taylor, who presided
over the four-day meet. Bishop
Taylor charged the ministers to go
TO their respective fields of labor
and to not only preach to the peo-
pie, but to administer to their ev-
cry need so that their respective
churches will become the hub of
the community. He told them that
the people in their respective par
ishes would accept them as true
leaders if they gave them the guild
ance and the inspiration that their
positions warranted.
The conference closed on Sunday
night with the reading of appoint
ments. There were quite a few
changes. The most outstanding
was the presiding elder of tho
Laurel District. The Rev. d. G.
Rembert, who presided over this
district during 1851, was replaced

also criticized the church for its
failure to. fight the battles of the
Negro. Communism and Cathol-
ocism can only appreciate oul
fight for religious ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
when we project well planned
social and evangelical program.
The committee on the state of
the country took the church to task
for the many evils that beset the
world. The Rev. w. A. C. Kelley,
reporting for this committee de-
plored the vast sums that are be-
ing spent to prosecute a war that
is taking the lives of so many
American boys, many of whom are
denied their citizenship rights.
This committee charged that the
promoters of war wage these bat
ties to promote their own personal
Interests. 1t also called attention
to bad government, such as being
brought out by the recent tax ex-
posures. These conditions were
attributed to the fact that the
solons are chosen by machine pol
iticians. Every citizen was called
upon to aid in selecting those who
are to govern us.
The conference opened Wednes-
day and closed with the reading
of appointments on Sunday after
noon. Veteran churchmen pro-
claimed it to be the most success
full ever held. Bishop Taylor told
OF the great possibilities of this
section and charged the ministers
with the responsibility of not only
giving the communicates spiritual
leadership, but told them that they
were to stand up for the rights of
their parishioners in every way.
The conference is divided into
two presiding districts. The Lau-
rel District was led by the Rev.
ID. &. Rembert. The Rev. D. S.
Williams heads the Canton Dis
trlct. Due to the progress made
under the leadership Of Bishop
Taylor and the untiring efforts of
the Rev. E. H. Stitt, it is believed
that the 1852 general conference
will make definite plans to i'm
prove the membership in this area,
during the next quadrennium.
Delegates to the general confer
ence will be led by the Rev. E. H.
Stitt. The other ministerial dele
gates are Revs. D. S. Williams, F.
c. Tate, John Roberts, C. Goodloe
and ". A. c. Kelley. Due to the
fine work done by the women of
the Conference, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Ann Taylor Super
visor, the lay representation to
the general conference is eo1ally
divided. Mesdames J. r. Johnson.
Helena McClinton and Edna Gill
more were elected along with Prof.
T. c. Moore, Charles Garrett and
Charles Bridges.

DURHAM, N. c., Dec. 3 -
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio,
front-running candidate for Re-
publican presidential nomination
next year, told the 1,700 students
of North Carolina College here
Wednesday he doesn't believe the
federal government ought to force
the South to abandon its segre-

Following his address, student,
during forum period, asked if the
senator thought the NAACP's
legal drive to outlaw segregation
was an error. Taft replied that he
agreed with rulings of the U. S.
Supreme Court which admitted
Negroes to southern universities
but didn't believe the government
should end segregation in other
schools.
He avoided any direct reference
to the NAACP, with which he has
been at odds for several years.

Woodruff Demands
Douglas Resign, Says
He Aids u. 5. Foes
By the As,oeia,ed Pres,

Representative Woodruff, Re-
publican. Of Michigan, thinks Su-
preme Court Justice William o.
Douglas should resign. If he
doesn't, Mr.. Woodruff said in a
statement yesterday, President
Truman should request his resig-
nation.
The congressman accused JUS
tice Douglas of words and acts
which, he said. give laid and COM
fort to the foes of the United
States and democracy"
Mr.. Woodruff pegged his attack
to interviews given by the jurist
since his return from a mountain
climbing expedition in Asia. He
said:
'Mr. Douglas latest outburst-
his statement in San Francisco
that the United States should rec
ognize Red China-is merely the
latest demonstration of a code of
conduct that is highly peculiar.
to say the least, in Supreme
Court Justice"
Mr.. Douglas told newsmen on
the West Coast that United States
recognition of the Chinese Com
munist regime would serve to
bring the Chinese closer to the
free world and thus weaken the
ties they now have with Russia.
Some Republicans have viewed
the Douglas statement as a pos
Sible sign that the administration
may be softening it's attitude to-
ward the Chinese Reds.
Justice Douglas insisted, how
ever, that the idea was entirely
his own. And Chairman Con-
nally of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, objected strenu-
ously when Senator Welker, Re-
publican. of Indiana in seeking
to put the story of the San Fran
cisco interview into the Congress
sional Record, referred to Justice
Douglas as IAN administration
