They still have about 207 900 acres
to go.
Moses M. Alexander, who has
just finished building his home
when the announcement was
made, settled with the Govern
ment but Vas not satisfied with
the deal he got. Mr.. Alexander.
who is 40, is one of five sons
whose farmer father left each con-
siderable acreage-all in the H
bomb area. The settlement was
for his house, his saWmill, his
store and his little machine shop
on a patch of four acres across
the railroad tracks from his farm.
The project had to take the house
right away because they intend
to build a spur track from the
railroad right across the spot
where it stands.

Mr.. Alexander was right proud
of his house. 1t is an up-to-date

a month on the store, which was
'awfully hard to believe.
The Government gave him $12.-
585 for the. layout. They also
told him that he could buy his
house back at a salvage price OF
$1,630-for that price he could
have the house provided he moved
it away on time. Mr.. Alexander
accepted the settlement but the
more he thought about it during
the next few days, the less he
liked it. He went back and told
the Government people how he
felt about it. They said they
would improve the settlement by

1922, the two towns in the area,
always say the sharecroppers are
the ones to be sorry for, when they
discuss the situation. The white
people will have to move, too; both
towns are to be razed, but the
government will buy their houses
and land. The settlements made
SO far has encouraged them in
the idea that Uncle Sam is not
going to short change them.
The sharecropper owns no land
and his house, even if he built it
with his own labor, belongs to the
man or woman who owns the land.
To the Northerner, the share
cropper's plight might seem no
worse than that of the factory
worker who lives in rented quar-
ters, saves no money, and whose
livelihood is ended when the fac
tory goes out of business.
Readjustment Not Easy.
But the Southern townsman
knows the sharecropper's limita-
tions. It's not easy for him to
readjust himself-get another job
in other words. Much of his con-
tact with the business world has
been through his boss man." His
loyalty to the boss is not all senti-
ment. It's through the boss that
he gets credit at a country store,
not only for food and clothing but
for seed and fertilizer in his own
small agricultural ventures.
Distribution methods of the
long, long ago continue in the
Savannah River country. A coun-
try store on the remote backroads
is likely to be an unpainted, win
dowless farm shack with pad
lock on the door. No Northerner
would ever suspect it of being a
merchandising mart. 1t looks as
though it were built to store
fertilizer. seed and agricultural
tools.

Truman Picks Larson
To Head New Agency
IFor War Procurement
BY the Associated Press

President Truman announced
plans yesterday to set up a new
and independent agency to pro-
cure and increase the supply OF
critical and strategic materials in
this country and abroad.
He picked Jess Larson, now the
Governments chief buying agent
as head of the General Services
Administration, to run it.
And he underscored the scope
of the job saying that the new
defense materials procurement
agency will be the "sole Govern
ment procuring authority for non
agricultural materials" Mr.. Lar
son will operated under the Di-
rector of Defense Mobilization.
Under Defense Production.
The White House announce
ment said the new setup is be-
ing made under authority of the
newly extended Defense Produc-
ton Act and will go into effect
as quickly as the necessary orders
can be arranged by the Budget
Bureau.
The new agency will take over
functions in the materials field
now performed by the Defense
Materials Administration in the
Department of the Interior, by
GSA, and by the Economic Co
operation Administration.
No Comment on Successor.
Mr.. Truman said he soon will
send Mr.. Larson's name to the
Senate for confirmation in the
new post. He had nothing to say
at this time about a successor as
head of GSA. Mr.. Larson at the
moment is out of town and the
agency is being run by Paul
Forbes, deputy administrator.
Mr.. Truman called the pro-
grams for materials purchase and
supply vital to the security of
this Nation" He said ample sup
plies of basic and rare items are
necessary if America is to "ful-
fill our mobilization goals during
the coming months and if we are
to maintain the expanding ma
tional economy which gives us
one of the necessary elements of
strength in international affairs" "

Petsche Asks for Unity
To Help West Defense
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 2.-Maurice Petsche
pleaded today with Frances quar-
reling political parties to bury
their differences so France can get
la government to cooperate with
the United States and Britain in
building up the defense Of the
West.
France has been without gov
ernment for six weeks, and it is
already very late" Mr.. Petsche
told the National Assembly. Mr.
Petsche, an independent, appeared
before the legislature to seek a
vote of confirmation as premier
Europe is "hesitant, uncertain
on how to unite, and worried about
the particularism Of Britain" he
said. Europe can only be rebuilt
if France takes the leadership"
Parliamentary predictions were
that Mr.. Petsche would get the
formal vote Of confirmation, but
might fail to get pledges Of sup
port from the parties to enable
him to actually form a cabinet.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. Z. (ANP)- In a recent
edition of the local white daily Rocky Mountain News ap-
peared an item which spoke volumes for the equality Of
races in all phases of activity. The item was neither a
news story, column nor editorial-although it could be
classed as an effective editorial piece.
1t was simply an ad of the Yellow Cab Inc, call
ing for skilled taxi drivers. Citing its need for "skilled
drivers at once" the ad read:
eve want only the finest drivers, regardless of sex,
race, color or creed. Our drivers are being hired on basis
of merit alone"
It continued further by announcing a policy to "put
available men and women to work at the highest level of
their skills, thus to conserve manpower and render the
best service to the public"
