Chinese Reds Stumble
Over Own Opium Law
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG. Feb. 3.-Chinese
Communists wage relentless prop.
aganda war against the opium
traffic. Quietly. it is reported, they
deal in 1t as a means of obtaining
foreign exchange.
In this delicate situation they
recently stumbled over their owr
regulations but made a quick re-
covery.
A dispatch printed in the Chi
nese press here said a large ship
ment of opium was being loaded
for an unnamed port in the South
Seas at the South China port ot
Chungshankong. The Red garri.
son commander took Red propa
ganda about the evils of opium
at face value and stopped the
cargo.
Word got back to the Rec
agency which handles opium ex-
ports, and the garrison command
er was told to release the opium
because it was being shipped by
the Communist monopoly sales
office for drugs to poison the
United States imperialists.
According to some Hong Kong
underground sources, the Reds
are offering opium for sale at
South China ports which will en-
able the buyer to market it at a
handsome profit almost anywhere
In the South Seas.

Brannan Sets Guides
For Crop Production;
Some Acreage Cut
BY the Assoeioted Press

Aimed at increasing the Ma
tlon's basic food supplies the
Agriculture Department yester-
day set the 1851 acreage planting
guides for major crops.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan said the aim is to get the
highest feasible levels of produc-
ton for corn, wheat, cotton and
rice. This will mean some cut
back in such crops as soybeans,
oats. grain sorghums and flax
seed because of planting space
limitations.
Mr.. Brannan previously had
lifted all production controls for
cotton, corn, wheat and rice. The
only crops remaining under con-
trolls are peanuts and major types
of tobacco.
The Secretary urged farmers to
continue production of livestock
at high levels, but he did not set
any specific goals. He emphasized.
however. that a very large corn
crop is essential if meat produc-
ton is to continue at high levels.
Even so. meat production is not
likely to be great enough. he
said, to supply consumer demands.
He said he did not believe ra-
tioning of meat will be necessary
this year. He added, however.
that this is a question to be de-
cided by the Office of Price Sta
bilization.
The guides - compared with
last years planted acreages-in-
cluded:
Upland cotton, 28.4 million and
18,55l.O00 acres; corn, at least
80 million and 84.370,0OO; spring
wheat, 2l.4 million and 18,5O9-
600, and soybeans for beans. l3
million and 13.29l.OO0.
Mr.. Brannan refused to saw
whether he favored a rollback of
food prices and use of supple
mentary subsidies to farmers,
similar to those used during
World War II.

BY The Associoted Pres.

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-Americar
atomic research is progressing 60
rapidly that high Government
Official predicts the nuclear
program will add 10000 employts
to it's payroll by fall.
DR.. T. Keith Glennan. a men-
Der of the Atomic Energy Com
mission, sized up the atomic pro-
gram last night in speech here
before an alumni banquet of the
Stevens Institute of Technology
at Hoboken, N. j.
| DR.. Glennan said the commits
sion now employs 10000 persons
in Offices. factories and testing
grounds in 10 States. He added
that the installations cover 1890
square miles of land, almost as
much territory as in Delaware
and Rhode Island combined.
Sounds Hopeful Note.
Real progress has been made"
in the defense and security PRO
gram of this country" DR.. Glen
nan said. But he also sounded a
hopeful note for the future when
and If real guarantees of peace
and disarmament are forth
coming"
by our huge investment in
atomic energy" he said. I'VE are
equipping ourselves not only for
war, but also for peace"
DR.. Glennan said atomic hold
ings represent capital invest
ment of almost $2,225, 100000.
Quotes Winston Churchill.
He then asked: "Is this tre-
mendous expenditure and invest
ment OF time, skills and materials
worth the effort? What, exactly
besides the nebulous promise of
something in the future, is the
taxpayer getting for his money!"
DR.. Glennan's answer was this
quote from a speech by Winston
Churchill:
1T is only the vast superiority
of the United States in this awful
weapon that gives us any chance
of survival"
DR.. Glennan said the acquisition
of the Nevada testing grounds "is
certain to speed our program in
the weapons field"
