Rules for Tobacco
Maximum acreage of tobacco
that may be put in the soil bank
IS 500 of the allotmcnts or five
acres, which ever is larger. Min

To participate with allotmcntS

Payment for tobacco will be baS-
ID on the average farm yield. and
Computed at the following rates.
flue-cured and hurley l8c per
pound fire-cured -l3c per pound;
md sun-cured l2c per pound.
Maximum payment per acre
| which can be earned is 1929 for
flue cured. $40 for hurley. $198
for firc-curcd and $l60 for sun
cured.
Example Given
| For example, if the average
| farm weld for flue- cured tobacco
IS 1900 pounds per acre. and the
| farmer puts one acre in the soil
bank. he could expect to receive
payment at the rate of l8c per
pound That would give a total of

have always relied on unlimited
Senate debate to block bills
which they regard as Federal
encroachment on States Rights.
The liberals will try to SUBJ
lstitute a rule that would permit
a majority Of Senators to close
debate after a reasonable time
Their chances Of changing the
rules are slim, however. for the
reason that as the rules now
stand even the existing two
thirds cloture vote can never be
invoked on a resolution propos-
ing a change in Senate rules.
A change in rules is the only
category Of business to which
even the present cloture rule
can not be applied.

Republicans in the coming ses-
sion Of Congress.
And they are likely to get it
on some issues, particularly the
civil rights program. There all
ready are indications that the
Republicans will get behind the
civil rights bills advocated BY
the White House in the hope OF
holding the increased Negro vote
which went to President Eisen-
hover this year.
The most important of these
bills would enable the Attorney
General to use the injunction
process in the civil courts before
election day to safeguard the
voting rights of Negroes in
Southern States.
The program advanced last
night by the liberal Democrats
would be aimed at discrimina-
tions of all kinds. including en-
Iployment. personal security and
education as well as voting
rights.
Most of the Is points in the
liberal program are taken directly
from the 1856 Democratic Plat
form.

One partygoing WON an
thought it an outrage when a
hostess moves so much furni-
ture out, there is no place to
sit. Another thought it
odd that embassies frequently
have so many of their staff
present there isn't any room
left for the guests.
All CRASHED their teeth at
the remembrance of the man
or woman who jiggled the arm
that held a drink and thus
permanently ruined a party
dress or a brand-new pair of
white kid gloves.
But the greatest breach of
etiquette they all agreed upon
was a social horror that per-
sists in Washington. No doubt
the hosts are not aware of it,
but at some embassies still, at
some parties at Anderson
House, and worst of all in
some private homes, coat
checkers are practising the
cozy little custom of leaving a
dish out with coins in it in
hopes of getting more. To
have to pay to get your own
garments back at a private
party is certainly the ne plus
ultra of the bottom drawer!
Now that that's off our
chests, how about a party?

a dehtor nation for all practical purposes. All but bare five per cent of our $42 billion invest ments abroad are of the long term type: the major part repre- sents the direct ownership of land, plants and mines, Even our port folio investments are largely un- salable; at any rate, most foreign governments prohibit the massive transfer of the proceeds from such sales. ...s
 And how much even of our $22 billion short-term balances abroad could be liquidated-and trans ferred-in a pinch is anyone's guess. But what we owe on short term accounts, $13.7 billion at latest count, is "liquid":: we have to pay in gold if we are asked to do so. We could pay, thanks to a gold reserve of $21.7 billion, if it were not for a few more claims on the reserve.
 Mortgage on the Reserve
 A large amount of dollar notes is being hoarded or is floating abroad; how many is a matter of conjecture. They surely mean an additional mortgage of several billions on our gold reserve. Then, about $6 billion of foreign money is invested in American securi- ties, mostly of the high-grade type which could be solahon the stock exchange, the proceeds to boost the foreign-owned short-term dol lar balances. All of which still is not the whole story. Some Amer. jeans might want to hedge" too, if they see our gold stock dwin- ding.
 Of course, to draw gold from the Federal Reserve is the exclu- sive privilege of foreign central banks and treasuries. But the frightened or cautious American capitalist could help himself if he wanted to by sending his dollars. say, to Canada where they can buy gold. The US. dollars would return and swell the Canadian balances at American banks. How far such a run on the dollar might go if it once gets under way?
 The salient fact is that our colossal gold reserve of $21.6 bil- lion-is not ours at all. Virtually every cent of it is pledged to for eign creditors, leaving aside the potential claims of those smart" American operators who might turn into foreign creditors.
