bacco whiting and called for help
but it was too late to do anything
about last years crop.
We have the same situation
again this year on another farm.
Last year Mr.. Taft Mobiles of
Tabor City, Route 2, noticed a few
hills of wilt in his field, pulled up
a few hills one day to bring to
the County Agents Office but de-
cided it was just the wilt and
didn't pay much attention to it.
During the last week the same
disease has shown up and yester-
day he brought some plants in
that showed definite signs of
Black Shank and upon field in
vestigation found that it was def
nitely Black Shank and he stands
now to lose between one-half and
two-thirds of his crop. Thinking
it was Granville Wilt last year he
switched to a Granville Wilt vari-
ETY. only to find this year that it
was Black Shank and the variety
that he is using will not stand up
under Black Shank conditions.

ago for courtroom clashes with
an attorney.
In q highly critical opinion.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff of
U. s. District Court for the Dis

Supreme Court opinions in
which Justice Frankfurter was
involved had raised the question
whether divided Supreme Court

The latest phase Of the battle
Of the judges was launched by
Judge Holtzof in a decision re-

filed by a natural gas producer

the Offutt case.
The judge said that in con-
sidering the power case, the
question arose as to what weight
should be given Supreme Court
decisions reached by a divided
vote. He cited an example in
which Justice Frankfurter had
written a minority opinion. and
in a similar case later a majority

Premier Mendes- France, IN
what was widely interpreted as
a gesture OF conciliation to win
Gaulist votes. accepted the

his motion of confidence. Yes
terday in the afternoon session
it was withdrawn, Mr.. Noel ex-
planning that he didn't want to
give the impression the govern
ment was indulging in any
tricky horsetrading to win it's
votes. AS it turned out the whole
incident was extremely unfor-

Of view.
Suspicious Aroused.
In the first place, it aroused
lively and vocal suspicious that
the premier was, in fact. playing
coy with the Gaullist opposition.
And it also gave the enemies Of
German rearmament exactly the
opening they needed to call q
foul and delay the fateful de-
cision. Since by withdrawing
the amendment the measure had
been ''mutilated," argued the
Communists. the motion Of conf
dence had to be placed again
and another "a hours pass be-
fore ballots were cast.

The assembly was told: Frances
allies will not understand or ac-
cept much more dillydallying on

delay would give France a bad
name throughout the free world
The private reason was also
something of an open secret: In

ment. the political tide is against
the government. And in a situa-
ton where the margin of VIC
tory is, at best, expected to be
