An authoritative source said
a big comfortable chair" has
been installed in the cockpit
for greater convenience of the
former ambassador, who has
been under medical care since

This yacht has been the
best medicine that the doc
tors could prescribe for the
elder Mr.. Kennedy" said the
source. HE loves yachting
and he sailed almost every

weather and bad"

Reopening Set
For Old Belt
Markets Monday

Old Belt flue-cured tobacco
markets will reopen next Mon
day with an air of optimism re-
placing the chaotic cordition
that existed during the attempt
to begin sales this past Monday
The confusion this past Mon
day was due to the failure Of
buyers to show UP fer sales. This
was the result Of a later crop
than usual on the South Caro-
lina-Border North Carolina Belt
and slightly earlier crop on
the Old Belt. according to Roy
B. Davis. Jr., tobacco market
ing agent for the Virginia De-
partment of Agriculture.
Davis said Old Belt ware
housemen received word at noon
last Friday that the major buy
ing companies would not be rep
resented on the Old Belt last
Monday. Warehousemen, how
ever. had another reason to 60
ahead with the start of sales as
planned. other than the fact that
Friday was a little late to call
the Monday opening off. They
were anxious to get the then
mandatory five-day period Of
loose leaf sales over with, since
it was felt that deliveries would
be extremely light.
The confusion was greater
than expected, though, when no
buyers from the major com
panies showed up. The USDA
then withdrew price supports
from the Old Belt markets until
adequate buyer representation
was assured.
Very important to growers and
warehousemen is the new an
rouncement that both united and
tied grades of tobacco would
carry price supports the first
four days after sales resume
After that, only tied tobacco
prices will be supported.
The Federal State Mark
News Service reports gross sales
on the Old Belt Monday totaled
only l.lO6.64O pounds averaging
$50 90. This includes both tied
and united tobacco. The aver
age was 5000 per hundred I'M
der the record high a year ago
when 7 .542 $40 pound sbrought an
average of $65. $50.
