Southern Group
Demands Action on
Employment Bias

WASHINGTON - The repre-
sentative Of q southern interracial
organization told the Senate La
Dor committee this week that q
federal FErC law would afford
invaluable guidance and reassur-
ance' to the present-day South.
John Bolt Culbertson, Green
vile. S. c.. attorney who is vice
president Of the Southern Con-
ference Educational Fund, gave
unqualified endorsement to the
Federal Equality of Opportunity
Act, which is now up for public
hearings.
The Fund, an antisegregation
organization, is headed by Au-
brey Williams. Montgomery, Ala,
publisher, and Its director are
residents OF the southern states.
Its headquarters are in New Or
leans.
Culbertson pointed to the in
crease in Negro voting and the
end of segregation in graduate
schools and transportation as
proof Of "a growing regional
awareness Of simple, but pro-
found truism: The south's great
est natural resource is its people,
ALL Of its people. To decree
that the black one-third Of the
population must be the mental
servants Of the white majority;
to divide the black and white in

Cotton Estimate
Up For Nation,
But Down In NC,

The Department Of Agriculture
issued a prediction last week, based
on October l conditions. that the
nation will produce 12,511.000 bales
of cotton this season. That was an
increase of $4,000 bales, about six
percent, over the forecast of the
previous month. The futures mar
ket became weaker as result, and
prices going off an average of
about half cent per pound, while
the spot quotations on middling
one-inch staple went down about
quarter of cent during the day,
closer to federal price support lev
els. North Cardinals outlook drop
ped.
The new estimate is a half mil
lion bales more than the govern
ment's goal set under the planting,
marketing control and price sup
port program. 1t makes virtually
certain the imposition of stricter
limits next season to follow the
expected approval of at least two
thirds of the growers in refer
endum to be held on December Is.
The 12-1 million bale fore
cast compares with 16,465, 900 bales
produced last season and a ten
year, 1943-52, average harvest of
$4,000 bales.
For North Carolina. the forecast
took a sharp downturn as COM r.
ed to prior months. All that can oe
forecast in our state now is 365,000
bales, nine per cent below the 400
900 bales predicted in both the
previous monthly predictions. Last
season, the state had a harvest of
$4,000 bales. with a ten year
l943-52 average yield of 100000
bales. The state-federal crop re-
porting service at Raleigh blames
the decline entirely on the severe
drought conditions.
The South Carolina forecast now
is for 100000 bales, also a substan-
tial cut below the former expec-
tation of $4,000 bales. The new
outlook is for the third smallest
crop in the II years of records in
the Palmetto state. comparing
with a ten-year average of $685.
900 bales.
The national increase in forecast
yield is. of course, in the big-pro-
ducing southern valley and south
western states - 10000 more bales
seen in Georgia, 175,000 more in
Mississippi and 100000 more in
Texas, for example.

Golf Is Top
Sport At State S
Winter Resorts

Golf heads the list, but riding
and relaxation in the warm south
ern sun claim high popularity as
North Cardinals Mid-South re-
sorts begin the winter season.
The resorts-PinehurSt, South
ern Pines, Tryon and Sedgefield-
have accommodations that are
numerous and varied - and for
their quality of lodging and food,
are less expensive than most peo-
pie might suppose. American plan
inns predominate. although three
of the resorts, Sedgefield, Tryon
and Southern Pines, now offer a
good choice of motor courts for
visitors who stop over enroute to
or from points further south. At
Pinehurst and Southern Pines,
particularly. there are restaurants
with American, French and Italian
cuisine. and interesting shops.
Pinehurst. a winter golf capital,
is going into it's 60th season as a
unique resort village situated IN
the rolling Sandhills country OF
long-leafed pine and mild tenn
peratures. All four of the cham
uiorship Donald Ross golf courses
at this resort were in play by Oc-
Joper 25, when the North and
South Invitation Seniors Cham
pionship opened the golf season
that will see more than 40 tour
naments. The Southern Seniors
