Nick Katzis is still buttonholing
Dan Clark for a private line tele
phone at Swansboro.
"It's terrible on that party line,"
Nick declared. "The other night
it rang 18 times by the count. Fi
nally late in the night it started
♦nging and it rang and it rang
^ ' it rang. And I got up and told
, aerson that fellow you're call
must be dead—he ain't ans
<*ing the phone—and if you don't
quit ringing him, me and everyone
else on this line are gonna be dead,
too'."
The Arkansas folks ain't going to
like the one R. R. Fountain of High
Point told at the Kiwanis club a
bout some folks traveling through
that state and spending the night
at a farm house As they were a
bout to retire, the man of the
house exclaimed: "1 forgot to turn
the chickens."
That struck the lodgers as some
what peculiar so the visitor follow
ed the man into the kitchen where
he turned the chickens roosting on
the flour barrel so their heads
would stick inside the barrel in
stead of outside.
But the Texans will be pleased
with the latest one about a native
going to New York for the first
time and telling the New Workers,
"This is great. This is the first
time I've ever been in this part
of Texas."
Lots of new perfumes on the
market these days. Plenty for the
girls to choose from. For instance,
there are "Come Hither" and
"Come Nearer" and "Come Clos
er." I guess the next brand will
be "Where Do We Go From Here?"
Or, a brand of perfume called
"Open the Cage Door" because it
brings out the savage beast.
If you want to know how a tur
key feels on Christmas and Thanks
giving, just rememhei how you
felt March 15.
Add definitions: Girdle—armor
with elastic.
It's easy enough to be pleasant,
With a lass and a gla:« and a >ong;
But the man worth while
Is the guy who can smile
When he has the old woman along!
The new arrival at the Pearly
Gates noticed two women taking
turns at bending over and being
kicked soundly by the other.
"What goes here?" he asked Sa.
Pete.
"Oh, that? They're two old,
maids who found out that I never;
kept a record on 'em."
Reds Accused
Of Double-Talk
In Russia Deals
MUNSAN, Korea —Brig. Gen.
William K. Harrison Jr. today ac
cused the Communists of simulta
neously agreeing and disagreeing
with Russia at the deadlocked Ko
rean armistice talks.
The senior United Nations nego
' or made the statement after
ring the Communist reply to
> charges that Red insistance on
lorced return of war prisoners is i
inconsistent with the policy of Rus
sia in World War II.
U. N. refusal to return prisoners
who do not want to go home has |
blocked a Korean armistice for
months.
"It is not apparent how you can
at one and the same time both
agree and disagree with the acts
and declarations of the 'USSR,'
Harrison told the Communists at a
35-minute no-progress session at
Panmunjom. Another meeting was
set for tomorrow at 11 a.m. <!>
p.m. EST Thursday).
Harrison told the Reds Saturday
that Russian commanders in World
War II promised surrounded Axis
troops at Stalingrad and Budapest
return to the country of their
choice at the end of the war.
North Korean Gen. Nam 11 re
plied today that Harrison "misin
terpreted and distorted" the "ulti
matum issued by the victorious
Soviet Army to the encircled Ger
man, Hungarian and Italian
troops." The chief Communist ne
gotiator declared.
"After the conclusion of the sec
ond world war, the Soviet Union
in strict adherence to the Geneva
Convention repatriated all of the
war prisoners held by her—Ger
man. Hungarian, Italian, Japanese
—and of other countries—with the
only exception of war criminals."

Flue-Cured Tobacco Dates
To Be Set By Bright Belt
RALEIGH CP>_The sales com
mittee of the Bright Belt Ware
house Association planned to meet
here today to consider and recom
mend opening dates for the 1952
flue-cured tobacco auctioning sea
son.
The group was scheduled to hear
several tobacco buyers and repre
sentatives of farm organizations
express their views on the open
ing dates and number of selling
urs per day on the live flue-cur
1 belts.
" fhe five-member sales commit
.e will make its recommendations
to the Bright Belt Associations
board of governors at a meeting
here tomorrow afternoon.
The board of governors will set
the opening sales dates and hours
of sales per day for the following
flue-cured belts: Georgia-Florida,
North and South Carolina Border,
Eastern North Carolina. Middle
North Carolina, and Virginia and
North Carolina Old Belt.
Sales Committee Chairman J. C.
Eagles Jr., of Wilson said the board
of governors is expected to study
further an action it took several
weeks ago to increase from 300 to
350 pounds the maximum weight
per pile of tobacco.
Eagles said the action has drawn
objections. Some tobacco men
voiced the opinion the sale of larg
er piles would boost volume of
sales and make it necessary to cur
tail selling time to avoid overtaxing
redrying plants. It was also pointed
out that warehouse laborers object
ed to handling such heavy piles.
DENVER UP-—Sen. Henry Ca
bot Lodge (R-Mass.), announced
today Gen. D wight 1). Eisenhow
er will move lo Chicago next
week to set up campaign head
quarters for the Republican
Presidential nomination.
By The Associated Press
While one of Gen. Dwight Eis
enhower's aides said "the jig is up"
for Sen. Robert Tat't, another re
ported today Eisenhower will go
to the Republican convention lo
direct his campaign for the Presi
dential nomination.
The "jig is up" quote came from
Eisenhower's campaign manager.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of
Massachusetts, who flew to Den
ver yesterday for a conference with
the retired five-star general.
It was quickly attacked by Taft's
campaign manager. David ingalls.
who said bluntly: "It just isn't so."
The report that Eisenhower has
decided to take on-the-spot charge
of his bid at the July 7 GOP con
vention came from a source in his
headquarters. The source declined
to be named and would not say
when Eisenhower planned to head
for Chicago.
The Associated Press tabulation
of pre-convention delegate strength
with all 1.206 delegates named, now
shows Taft lias the support of 483
to Eisenhower's 405. Others have
a total of 129 and there are 180 in
dispute or uncommitted.
This tabulation, like that in the
Democratic race, is based on avow
ed and conceded alignments. It
often conflicts with claims of the
candidates themselves. Taft, for
example, says he already has the
majority required for nomination
604 votes—and Lodge says Eisen
hower will get more than 500 on
the first ballot at Chicago.
As the GOP convention neared—
it opens a week from Monday—
and Taft and Eisenhower stepped
up their fight, some minds were
being changed among the state
inns
There was a slight reshuffling in

25% Reduction
Recommended In
Appropriations
WASHINGTON LP)—The House
Appropriations Committee recom
mended today a 25 per cent cut in j
new funds asked by the adminis
tration for the armed forces, ;'or-1
eign aid. atomic energy and a var
iety of other purposes.
In terms of cash, the purse-hold
ing group's proposed reduction—
which comes up for House action
tomorrow and will be considered
by the Senate later--was $3,468.
156,250.
The committee, headed by Hep.
Cannon (D-.\Io.i. said the agencies
involved should get along on $10.
276.910.569 instead of the $13,745.
066,819 President Truman asked.
The money provided from regu
lar budget appropriations already
considered by Congress for the De
fense Department and tlie Atomic
Energy Commission. Their regu
lar budgets, much larger have been
reduced already.
The new funds supplement ap
propriations already considered for
the coming year or actually made
for the present year, and are pri
marily for construction programs.
No big agencies were spared t h*'
committee's cuts. The largest was
a $1,706,000,000 reduction in funds
for the Atomic Eenergy Commis
sion. This was 53 per cent less than
the $3,191,000,000 requested.

WASHINGTON V—President
Truman today told the armed
services to i(uit recruiting farm
workers if they are deferred
from the draft for necessary pro
duction.
Steel Strike To Continue
For Another Week At Least
WASHINGTON M — The steel
strike was considered certain to
day to continue at least another
week even if President Truman
bowed to the will of Congress and
asked a court to order the men
back to work.
There was no firm indication,
however, how the President would
react to yesterday's House request
—paralleling a previous one from
the Senate—that he use the Taft
Hartly Labor Law to end the crip
pling, 24-day strike.
The walkout of about 650,000 CIO
steelworkers has already cost
more than six million tons of steel.
The President had a chance to
tip his hand at his weekly news
conference today. His last public
comment on Taft-llartly was a
curt remark that Congress has no
power to force its use. He also
said, however, the use of the law
always has been under considera
tion.
The law calls for a board of
inquiry, appointed by the Presi
dent, to look into the issues in
volved in a dispute and make a
report to the White House. Not
until that has happened—and cus
tomarily it takes at least a week
can the President ask a court to
issue an order banning continua
tion of the strike for 80 days.
The steelworkers union, it was
learned, is considering an attack
on the steel industry through the
same Taft-Ilartly Law.
The act makes it an unfair labor
practice not to bargain collectively
Stickiest obstacle to settlement
of the dispute, which started last
November, was a union demand
, for the union shop, under which all
employes could be compelled to
join the union.
Beyond a statement by Hep. Hal
I leek (H-Indi, yesterday that the
strike would be settled within a
week, there was no apparent indi
cation of any union shop compro
mise.

Churchill Answers
Charges On Bombing
Of Power Plants
LONDON W1—Prime Minister
Chun-hill pressed today for quick
appointment of a top British mili
man uii the planning and pol
icy staff of the United Nations
. onunand in Korea.
This was the aftermath to the
•ou kicked up by the Laborite op
position in the House of Commons
over the bombing of the Yalu River
power plants.
Chuivhill - Conservative govern
ment expressed regret that it was
not advised in advance of the
bombings but it defended them as
at lack- uii a legitimate war objec
ti\e. The Laborites said the bomb
111 > threatened to extend the war
fare in Asia.
The Russians seized upon the
debate as showing up British
American differences.
Churchill conferred with Field
Marshal Earl Alexander, the Brit
ish defense minister, at No. 10
Downing Street, on the talks Alex
i der had with U. S officials at the
Pentagon on Monday concerning
i he proposed British appointment
io the U. N. Command stair.
Informed sources said the formal
request for the appointment of a
Briton on Gen. Mark Clark's staff
would be hurried to Washington.
They said what Britain wants is an
officer on the planning and policy
staff in Tokyo rather than one con
cerned with actual ■ military opera
Originally the British sought an
■ • ointment as deputy commander
■i Clark, but they are reported
. ! in I.- compromise on an as
i. iimenl as a deputy ehicl of staff.
