The president is expected to sign
the bill, which puts tNa new por-
gram into effect for the 1858 crop
for the first time. The present crop
TO be harvested in late summer and
fall will be marketed under exist
ing controls. voted three years ago
BY farmers in the three producing
states Of Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee.
Long-Sought Relief
Passage OF the bill introduced by
Congressman Watkins M Abbitt. of
Appomattox, represents recognition.

and processing interests, that Old
Dominion-grown leaf has distinctive
qualities.
Manufacturing and export spokes-
men particularly have commended
that the demand and disappearance

81. exceed those Of Types % and %
grown in Kentucky and Tennessee.
In offering the bill Congressman
Abitt showed that Virginia tobacco
had reached the situation in which
1856 crop sales exceeded production.
The bill also was helped through
to committee and House-Senate sue
cess by the fact of threats to the
export trade for Virginia leaf built
up on aroma and quality not pos
sessed by the types to which Type
81 was tied.
There are three main provisions
to the Abbitt Bill First. it puts the
three types on their own as separaet
kinds Of tobacco for quota consid-
erations. based on the demand In
relation to existing supplies. In this
respect. big supplies of the other
types on hand will not effect the
acreage allotments given for Vir-

Second the bill establishes separ-
ate parity considerations for the
types, From the 1858 crop on. the
price supports will be established
on the basis of their own parity.

rate, as heretofore.
The bill provides. in addition. that
the price supports shall not be less
than the 1857 support price. Sup
ports may be set higher than the
1857 rate, but not lower BY term Of
the bill,
The USDA recently announced
that the average support for the

will be 1876 cents per pound, or

The third important provision of

is that the three types shall b con

price supports.
In other words, while the bill pro-
vides for separate consideration Of
each type on its supply merits. il
requires the three states to- ballot

Rescue Attempts Abandoned for
 Three Trapped on Swiss Alp

ITO go down the wall in this much snow would be suicidal folly that would help no one," a guide said.
 "No lives will be risked in or der to bring dead men down from the north wall," Frei told a tense group of guides and alpinists at the glacier station.
 Air and telescope observations of the other Italian trapped on the wall left no doubt that he died of exhaustion and exposure during the night. He had been in jured by a rock fall earlier and remained suspended at the end of a rope some 300 feet below the other three since Thursday.
 He was seen hanging face down covered by snow and motion less all day.
 The two German members of the group. aged 27 and 26, appar- ently left the ledge they shared with Corti early Sunday morning in a desperate attempt to make their own way to the top. All trace of them has been lost.
 
 It was assumed they fell to their deaths into an unknown crevasse lower down the cliff

 Scouting is education-educa- ton in high ideals, in self-reli- ance, in sense of duty, in forti- tude, in self-respect, and regard for others" continued Mayor An dersen.
 Scouting is for all boys, re- gardless of race or creed, rich or poor" MT. Andersen stated. "It is up to us, the citizens of Nome, to see that the Scouting program continues in Nome. Each one of us has financial obligation to the Scouting program. A hundred years from now it will make little difference to the world what kind of a car I drive today, or the house I lived in, or how much money I had in the bank. How ever, Nome, Alaska, and the world, will be a better place to live in because today I was inn portant in the life of a boy.
 ''So invest wisely in the future of our city and country; invest your money in something that will give returns far and beyond your fondest dreams invest in the future, invest in our boys, with your dollars, by backing the Boy Scouts '
