Austrian Type
Leaf Brings
Top Price, $50

An 100000 pound week. giving the
Farmville Tobacco Market one of
the heaviest opening weeks in some
seasons appeared likely with full
floor offerings again Thursday
morning.
Demand for Austrian-type leaf,
too. had pushed the top price re-
ceived here to $40 during the start
ing week. That price was received
by several growers offering the
thin, top-quality. red tobacco.
Wednesdays sale amounted to
approximately 225, 900 pounds and
prices were holding firm. Demand
for the preferred grades kept their
prices well over the government
peg. although numerous offerings of
weather damaged leaf kept the
general average near $38 dollars.
Picture Clearing
Buyers have confirmed the first
impression of a long leaf crop, run
ming to the thin side. They also have
found considerable tobacco which
has not cured well, and charge this
to the abundance Of moisture at
harvesting and curing time.
Little amounts have been going
into the government pool, but wet"
tobacco is finding the going rough,
as promised by the government.
~~~~~~~~~
There will be eight more days of
auctions before the markets close
for Christmas after the December II
sale. Re0penings are set for JAN

Coast Guard Abandons Hope After False Lead In Search for Amphibian

KETCHIKAN, LR - A surface search for an amphibian plane missing with three Californians was suspended today after the Coast Guard reported a possible clue to their fate had proved valueless.
 Aerial search was to continue as weather permits but heavy snow fall hampered the hunt.
 The twin-engine PBY has been missing since it's pilot radioed last Thursday that one of the engines had quit on a flight from Juneau.
 Aboard were pilot Philip Gray of Sausalito, Calif., Burrass Smith of Corte Madera, and Carl Scott of San Francisco.
 A cap found in log raft north of here carried an inscrip- .tion including the word Made lon," the name of Gray's wife. But the Coast Guard at Juneau re- ported Mrs. Gray knew nothing of such a cap. It was first reported Scott's wife was named Madelon, but the Coast Guard said that was incorrect.

VATICAN CITY, R nm Pope John XXIII declared in Christ mas message to the world today that things and institutions - the state are primarily for man; not man for them"
 The Communist way of life was an obvious target of the 78-year- old Roman Catholic Pontiff, though he did not mention Communism by name, in a speech devoted to peace and the obstacles in it's path.
 Broadcasting new call for world leaders to fashion a true peace, he said society is solidly based on the mutual and recipro- cal respect for the dignity of man."
 '9The disturbances which un- settled the internal peace of na- tions trace their origins chiefly to this source, that man has been treated almost exclusively as machine, a mere productive unit, :" he said.
 Obviously referred to President Eisenhower's 11-nation peace tour and other recent international de- velopments, he said ''The most re- cent events have caused an atmos- phere of so-called disengagement which has caused hopes to blos- som anew in many minds. ,"
 He described the international basis of peace as Above all, truth"
 The Pope spoke in Italian in response to Christmas greetings from the College of Cardinals. His message was broadcast by the Vatican Radio and various Euro pean networks. The Mu tu Broadcasting System planned to carry an English-language trans lation in the United States later in the day.

U. $. Capitol Welcomes President
 Home, Waving Torches, Caroling

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower today makes. a brief report to the nation on his historic peace mission that carried him halfway around the world.
 As he returned home last night, the President relayed a message of Christmas goodwill from major areas of the free world. He'll make his 15-minute report when he lights the national Christmas tree late this afternoon.
 A shivering but enthusiastic crowd shouted greetings as the President drove into the White House grounds shortly after mid night. Thus ended a 22,000-mile trip, mostly by jet plane, that started December and took Els enhower to II nations on three continents-the longest ever made by an American President in office.
 The welcoming delegation, esti- mated by police at close to 4,000, was far short of the millions that greeted the President on his 19- day tour of personal diplomacy, but they waited in windy, 20- degree weather to cheer Eisen- hover on his return.
 They waved giant sparklers that brilliantly lighted Pennsylvania Avenue as Eisenhower nodded his appreciation. Then, after the Chief Executive had entered the Whitee House, they burst into' a serenade of Christmas carols.
 Half an hour earlier, a smaller official delegation met the Presi- dent at Andrews Air Force Base Is miles away in nearby Maryland.
 At Andrews, the President
The Nome nugget., 1959-12-23

spoke briefly, saying that every where he went he was given a message of Merry Christmas to- convey to the people of the United States.
 Fuller Report Tonight
 He promised fuller, though still brief, report on his travels when he formally lights the na- tional Christmas tree late today.
 The President appeared to have withstood the rigors of his pilgrim age better than many of those who accompanied him.
 After Christmas at the White House with Mrs. Eisenhower, he probably will leave this weekend for his Augusta, Ga, vacation cot tage, to remain almost until time for the session of Congress start ing January 6.
 Between now and then, and for months afterwards, diplomats and politicians will speculate on the effects of the Presidents talks with leaders of Italy, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Greece, Iran, Tunisia, France, Spain and Morocco.
 There seemed no disagreement that the President had boosted his own stock as world leader and enhanced his nations prestige as the champion of freedom.
 First concrete results of the Presidential peace mission may flow from the East-West summit meeting, tentatively scheduled in Paris next April, and from his later face-to-face sessions with Soviet Premier Khrushchev in Moscow.

Too Much Television Can Bring Pain In The Neck

LONDON, R nm A British med ical magazine warned today that too much television can give you anything from a pain in the neck to a heart attack.
 The periodical, "The Lancet" " emphasized that the incidence of what it dubbed "Television col lapse" is small. It asserted, how ever, that prolonged peering may bring on the following ailments:
 l. TV Neck. Watching from a chair which is too low or too high may cause pain and stiffness among the upper vertebrae.
 2. TV Thrombosis. Sitting inn mobile in awkward position may lead to blood clots in the veins.
 3. TV Fits. Pickering of the screen may touch off convulsions in borderline epileptics.
 4. TV Arteries. Slouching in an easy chair may push the heart forward in the chest, producing degeneration of main blood ves- sells.
 5. TV Gas Pains. Viewers have been known to faint from pain beneath the breastbone caused by eating a heavy meal and then lolling in a cramped posture.
 6. TV Heart Attack. Programs which cause emotional stress may bring on angina pectoris, a pain in the chest accompanied by op- pression of the heart.

Prohibition-Era Shimmy Queen Dies in Calf.

HOLLYWOOD, R-Gilda Gray, the shimmy dancer of the 1920s who gave America more shakes than bootleg whisky, is dead.
 She died of an apparent heart attack Tuesday while visiting a friend. The petite blonde had been coy about her age. Estimates ranged from 59 to 68.
 Her death closed another chap ter of the dizzy decade which ac- claimed F. Scott Fitzgerald, jazz, near beer and racoon coats. She was top star in the golden era of vaudeville which produced Al Jolson, Will Rogers, Gallagher and Sheen, and Sophie Tucker.
 Years later she said of her fab ulous heyday: ''They might roar more today, honey, but we had more fun"
 The girl with the wiggly hips, who thrilled tired businessmen with a wicked Charleston atop a speakeasy table, faded into ob- scurity with the depression. She reputedly made millions but was living in a furnished room at the end.

Miami Herald Reporter Tried, Convicted,
 Deported from Cuba

HAVANA, R American newsman James Buchanan today was under orders to get out of Cuba after being convicted of helping an American escape from a Castro prison.
 A five-man military court in Pinar Del Rio convicted the 43- year-old correspondent for the Miami Herald Tuesday night, gave him suspended sentence of IA years and ordered him deported within 24 hours.
 That's good" said Buchanan, and left Pinar Del Rio for Havana to catch a plane for Miami.
 Buchanan was charged with concealing facts about the escape earlier this month of Frank Austin Young of Miami, who broke out of prison after being sentenced to three years for leading an armed anti-Castro band.
 Buchanan was arrested as he approached Young's hotel room hideout with bandages for the fugitive's injured leg.
 In Miami, Lee Hills, executive editor of The Herald, said his organization is absolutely con- vinced" that Buchanan "was guilty of nothing except covering a legitimate news story in Cuba"
 The trial lasted only a few hours.
 The prosecution asked for a 20- year sentence.

Seattle C. of c. Is Satisfied With Freight Rate Hike

SEATTLE, R Seattle's Chamber of Commerce decided Monday to take no action in the controversy over a proposed 10 per cent increase in water freight rates to and from Alaska.
 The chambers Alaska division considered the question and an- nounced it had found no basis for opposing the requested increase.
 Alaska Governor Egan, who is opposing the increase, had asked the Seattle group to give "early Consideration to effects" of the proposed boost.
 Martin O'Rourke, manager of the Seattle chambers Alaska di- vision, said a letter giving the chambers position would be sent to Egan yesterday.
 He said a special committee, representing the chambers Alas ka and maritime divisions and the Seattle Traffic Association, would be set up to keep abreast of the situation.
 At Mondays meeting R. C. Rose, traffic manager for Alaska Steamship Co.,, said that in- creased costs necessitated an in crease. Coastwise Line joined Alaka Steam in the increase request.

Herter Replies to Egan Query on
 Bering Strait Dam

WASHINGTON, R-The, State Department is preparing a letter to the Governor of Alaska con- corning a Russian proposal to warm the northern seas by build ing a dam across the Boring Straits.
 A spokesman said the letter, in reply to an inquiry last month by Governor Egan, would be sent soon, possibly before Monday
 The letter is based on some suggestions from other govern ment agencies to the State De- partment. The spokesman said it would be up to Egan whether con- tents of the letter were made public.
 Egan's inquiry was prompted by a report by the Soviet news agency Tass on proposal by a Moscow engineer named Pyotry BoriSov
 Borisov said it might be pos sible to build a floating dam across the 46-mile strait between Alaska and Russia, thus changing the climate of the Arctic and opening frozen tundra to development by affecting the flow of warm and cold water in the Arctic seas.
 Egan asked Secretary of State Herter for a study of the project, giving consideration to exploring the international benefits to accrue from joint study of the feasi- bility and merit" of such a dam.
 Herter replied an immediate thorough study" of the project would be made. Herter said the project mot only has a number of points of great interest to us, but also would involve many complex problems which I would like to have time to study rather carefully"
 Senator Gruening said recently ''This country cannot afford to overlook the alluring potentials of a greatly increased habitability and availability of the vast Arctic areas in a world so rapidly be- coming overpopulated."
 Gruening added that if no steps are taken by the United States by January for scientific appraisal of the proposal, he plans to look into the possibility of getting Congress to authorize an investi- gation.
