Gov. TaImadge Ready
To 'Subsidize' Pupils
BY The Associofed Press

ATLANTA, Dec. 5.-Gov. Her.
man Talmadge said today that
of public school segregation is
outlawed he will not hesitate
one second" to act on his plan to
abolish public schools and SUBJ
sidize individual pupils.
In an article written for the
Atlanta Journal and Constitu-
ton, Gov. Talmadge said all de-
tails of the plan have not been
worked out.
But he added essentially 1t
will call for the abolition of pub
lie schools and substituting in
lieu thereof a program of sub
sides to individual pupils.
"The counties and other local
districts will lease their school
systems to private individuals
for nominal sums and the State
will send the tuition fees to the
institutions on much the same,
basis as the Federal Government
did for veterans under the CT
Bill of Rights following World
War II.
In the event so dark an hour
comes upon us in this enlight-
ened age" he said, he would call
the legislature Immediately into
session to enact the private
school plan.

Biblical Fat Year.
Plan Is Unsuitable
Today, FAC Finds
by The Asseeiofsd Press

ROME, Dec. 5.-FAO's plan
copy Joseph's biblical "fat year"
food reserve against famine was
virtually abandoned today as
impractical in the modern world.
In action commission of the
United Nation Food and Agri-
culture Organization studying
three years of efforts to set up
such a system reported two draft
decisions, both reluctantly CIV
ing up the idea.
A vote will be taken Monday
to see which wording is pre-
ferred-but both resolutions
said:
However desirable and use
full. and in spite of our genuine
and keen desire, immediate
establishment of an emergency
reserve of food or funds to COM
bat famine does not appear
practical.
Instead, both draft proposals
suggest FAC will have to reply
on spontaneous appeals for in
ternational assistance to meet
specific cases of famine need.
That was the alternative pro-
posed by the United States and
strongly supported by Canada.

rural poverty nor lowered crop

Partly because of MeXico'S
record, the 7th World Confer

voted this week to make Mexico
City the permanent site of it's
Latin American land reform re-
search center.
Ramon Beteta, ambassador to
Rome and head of Mexico's dele
cation, said:
I'VE have increased our cotton
production from 100000 bales to
100000. Fifty per cent of that
is on lands subdivided in our
agrarian reform program.
Rural Population Rises.
"Under land, reform, our rural
population has increased from
nine million to 1412 million, de-
spite the fact that in these re-
cent years the trend of popula-
ton everywhere has been toward
the cities"
The ambassador explained in
an interview that Mexico began
land reform in some sections af-
ter the 1910 revolution, and on

Norris E. Dodd, retiring FAC
general director, told the confer
ence November 27 there was no
point in destroying an efficient
estate through appropriation, TO
create an agricultural slum. Mr.
Dodd'S revolutionary ideas on
agrarian reform were based on
his long service as United States
Undersecretary Of Agriculture

difficult" Mr.. Dodd said the

The new Latin American re-
search center was agreed upon
last spring at a meeting of FAC
nations in Central and South
America, held IN Brazil. Ine

that decision and picked Mexico

center. The Mexican delegation
said the center should be in op-

They explained that it would
deal not only with systems for
the breaking down of large
estates in land re-division, but
with the broader aspects of the
problem-land tenure. rents, ex-

For S14.5 Million
Stock Offering
By Donald B. HodIey

Virginia Electric and Power
Co. today filed registration
statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for
a proposed offering of 558,946
additional common shares at
competitive bidding.
With the common now selling
around $26, the offering is ex-
pected to raise around $14.5 mil
lion of new funds. The company
said proceeds would provide for
construction expenses and reirn-
burse the treasury.
Construction for 1853 was esti-
mated at $42 million, including
$31 100000 through September.
Construction plans for 1854 have
not been completed, but the
company estimated expenditures
will total $45 million. In five
years, 1948-1952, the company
spent $186 million.
With 5,441 ,054 common shares
now outstanding. the offering

piled embargoes when pSitticosiS
(parrot fever) was traced to one,
and the United States Govern
ment still bars foreign imports.
The embargo has brought a
flourishing smuggling trade, par
ticularly between the United
States and Mexico.
Since then, as medical science
picked up more information on
pSitticoSiS, bans on interstate

Some Own Many Birds.
, More and more people, many
of whom started with merely a
desire to own one bird, have
found themselves in for pairs,
dozens, scores and hundreds.
"That's the fever to watch for
! hot psitticosis," said one owner
who hears music every time a
hundred or more of the young
ones start chirping.
One former owner of 400 or
more went to a pet shop origi-
nally to buy single bird, mere
ly as pet. She paid SIS each
for two adults and SO each for
seven of their young.
Three years later, she had
more than 400 in huge, f1oor-to-
ceiling cages in her basement.

tounding-and often apocryphal
proportions. Many can give
their names and addresses.
There are occasional owners
who vow their birds can also
volunteer the name of the next
of kin and blood type. This is
what is meant by apocryphal.
Testimony to the burgeoning
popularity of the bird comes
this week when two Simultane-
Gus bird shows bring an esti-
mated $500 of them to Wash
ington.
The National Cage Bird Show,
sponsored by the Cage Bird So
ciety of Washington, Inc. and
the Metropolitan Budgerigar
Club, will have its show in the
Annapolis Hotel Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday.
There is no admission charge,
but the show is staged to aid
the Cerebral Palsy Association.
Last years show brought nearly
5000 to the Children'S Hospital.
This show, for the first time,
will have awards in the talking
bird division. No matter if the
parakeet is scrawny and as

The second show is the Middle
Atlantic Budgerigar Society in
the Willard Hotel, Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday, with an ex-
pected entry list of $50 from
most every part of the Nation.
All this, and the half-million-
dollar business, may be traced
back to the British ornitholo-
giSt named Gould who wrote his
treatise after observing the para
keet while on field trip in
Australia.
Writings Stirred Interest.
He didn't even bring one back
with him, but his unStinting
writings stirred interest. Sailors
began bringing the birds back
instead of parrots.
The demand became so great
that within 40 years after Mr..
Gould left Australia, the Gov
ernment was forced to control
their export. The birds were in

He thought nothing of buZZing

This was a new Turpin who

Counting the British workouts
he had boxed a total of only SO
