IN NORTH CAROLINA
Livestock Could Provide Farmers
With A Huge Boost In Income

the state, the increase in income
would total around $94 million;
and in hogs it would be about
S98.7 million. The value added to
the product by the packers would
be another $29.7 million.
The production of cattle and
hogs in North Carolina approxi-
mately meets the slaughter de-
mand on an annual basis. How
ever, because of seasonal produc-
ton, thousands of N. c. hogs are
shipped out of the state, requiring
local packers to ship approxlma-
tely $4,000 head into the state to
fill their slaughter needs.
The report points out that the
meat packing plants in the state
operate at varying levels of pro
duction capacity, the level depend
ing mostly on the amount OF live
stock available for slaughter.
1t is estimated that local meat
packers currently operate at about
rs per cent of total processing
capacity. This means that meat
production could be expanded
from an annual output of 1853
million pounds to 2118 million
within the facilities in current op-
Grafton. This still is well below
the annual meat consumption in
North Carolina which has been
determined to be 900 million
pounds - $50 million pounds of
beef and $50 million pounds of
pork

U. S. Toxpoyers Wont
Economy In Foreign
Aid, Says Rep. Kitchin

WASHINGTON = Even Con-
gressmen who supported the $4.75
billion foreign aid authorization
last July should now seek to re-
duce by amendment, aid funds al
located to doubtful areas" in the
mutual assistance bill due for de-
bate in the House Thursday, Rep.
A. Paul Kitchin, (D-N.C.) told
Congress.
I'm told that the Appropria-
ton Committee has already sharp
ly reduced the multi-billion dollar
measure, but l understand there
are still aid classifications subject
to further economies" Kitchin
said.
" Economy in foreign aid = es-
pc cially in areas where it is not
likely to advance free world aims
nor retard communism's spread
is what the American taxpayer
wants today" said Kitchin who
has opposed massive" foreign aid
during three terms in Congress.
Outright opponents of foreign
aid appropriations have never mus
tered more than 1872 votes in the
House, Kitchin recalled. while
there's no expectation of elimin-
ating foreign aid, 1 think the goals
of the program can be achieved
more economically than in the
past. Every economy would
strengthen our foreign trade po-
sition, and would harden the dol
lar in the international market"
he said.

Livestock can provide North
Carolina farmers with an addition
al 27 million dollars in farm in
come annually.
This figure, which would come
by supplying current inshipments
plus the necessary additional live
stock for local meat packers to
operate at full capacity, can be
greatly expanded if the total de-
mand for livestock and meats is
considered on local and regional
basis.
The opportunity for increasing
income from livestock production
was summarized by w. L. Fishel,
economist, and Guy R. Cassell,
livestock marketing specialist,
both of State College, in report
on a regional research project on
livestock and meat movements.
In the report recently COM
pleted, Fishel and CasSell point
out that an increase of S222.4
million in income to the N. C.
agricultural industry is possible
if: l. the state produces its to-
tai meat consumption; and, 2.
packers operate at full capacity.
Realistically, we should not
expect the North Carolina live
stock and meat industry to expand
to such an extent that all meat
consumption in the state is pro
duced in North Carolina" the
rerort states. However, these
estimates of potential income in
creaseS do point out the extent OF
the opportunity that is available
to livestock producers and meat
packers in this state"
The report adds that the figures
only include income increases
which are direct earnings OF the
two groups, livestock producers
and meat packers. Also, sharing in
this increase would be the added
labor that would be re-
uired in expanded meat packing
plant operations, the larger manu-
featuring and farm services facili-
ties that normally supplement
these sectors, and expanded feed
production.
"Hence, the actual increase in
income would be in excess of that
for any level of increas-
ed livestock and meat production"
the report says.
The researchers arrived at the
potential increase figure by in
Guiding the current for-slaughter
inShipmentS into the state. This
totals nearly one-half million dol
lars in cattle and six million dol
lars in hogs annually.
TOTAL INCOME INCREASE
Increase in total income to live
stock producers by supplying cur
rent inshipments plus necessary
additional livestock for packers to
operate at full capacity is $156
million in slaughter cattle and
$17.1 million in slaughter hogs.
The increase in value added by
the packers would be an addition
al S6.2 million.
If the total consumption of cat
tie was provided by producers in

"Strep" Throot Called
Dangerous To Children

"Strep" throat is particularly
dangerous to youngsters, says the
North Carolina Heart Association.
1t may lead to rheumatic fever
which in turn can cause rheumatic
heart disease. Parents should con-
suit their doctors when child
has bad sore throat.
The NCHA also reports that
rheumatic fever is disease that
may affect any part of the body,
particularly the heart, and can
lead to rheumatic heart disease,
the cause of more long-term dis
abling illness in children than any
other disease.

In a separate accident, a

opponent could have for re-
fusing such an investigation is
the fear of exposing the truth.
Similar Offer Noted
Noting that Mr.. Broyhill
urged a similar investigation
during his 1860 campaign, Mr..
johnson replied:
my opponent has made his
biennial demand for an i'm
partial investigation, but this
year he has not offered to
withdraw from the race as he
did in 1860. Does this mean
he is less sure of himself?
IT am happy to leave the
Judgment to the voters Of the
10th district. But I think the
Judgment of the local press
will be very helpful to them.
If the press is willing, I will
be extremely happy to CO.
operate.
THE truth can only help my
position"

accusations of the campaign
thus far concern Mr.. Broyhill's
role in promoting legislation to
clean up the Potomac, widen

CIV Hospital
Money Bill

The Senate last night passed
the last money bill of the year
which carried a grant of S2.4
million for new construction at

The money was authorized
earlier this year.
The hospital is expanding its
facilities and will match the
Federal grant with funds raised

The supplemental money bill
now goes to conference with
the House.
Dropped was $4,000 which
the National Capital Planning
Commission had requested to
study President Kennedy's plan
to rebuild Pennsylvania avenue
from the Capitol to the White

Democrat Augustus johnson
has begun to portray Repub-
lican Representative Broyhill
as a politically drowning man
who alternately screams in
desperation and whines for
pity.
Speaking with scorn that
seems to increase daily, Mr..
johnson last night ridiculed
his opponent as a "sure loser"
in the forthcoming Virginia
congressional election in the
10th district.
He also scoffed at the two
latest attempts of the Repub-
lican to capture the offensive
in the bitter campaign.
Letter Stirs Row
Mr.. Broyhill Wednesday re-
leased a letter in which Demo-
cratic Representative Howard
w. Smith indirectly Endorsed
his candidacy. Yesterday he
demanded that Attorney Gen.
eral Robert Kennedy criminally
prosecute Mr.. johnson because
Democratic charges have beer
circulated on unsigned yellow
sheets.
Mr.. Kennedy has scheduled
a reception at his Mclean
home Thursday in support Of
Mr.. johnson. Democrats glee-
fully suggest that he may seize
the occasion to start the "in-
vestigation" Mr.. Broyhill
desires.
Referring to the disputed
campaign literature as the vel
low peril" Mr.. johnson de-
clared:
Smoke Screen
"Broyhill sees that he Is
losing the election. so he is
putting up a desperate smoke
screen to conceal his own sorry
record. He has attacked the
President, his family and hi
staff. He has taken a wild swint
at the Supreme Court, which i
il were not so pitiful would b.
Imaginable. He has called on
