Burley Quota Cut Expected Associated Press Louisville- -The concensus of burley tobacco industry leaders is that the 1965 marketing quota for burley will be cut by about 10 percent, it was reported yesterday.

In brief, the problem facing tobacco farmers is that in 1964 they raised an estimated 631 million pounds of burley but total use amounted to only 571 million pounds.

Washington Senator Ross Bass, who will be officially today as Tennessee's new senator, said yesterday the Appalachian bill is one of the most important measures Congress will have before it this year.

He called for its approval. "I feel the Congress must act on this most important piece of legislation which is aimed at alleviating the poverty cycle in eastern sections of our state and sections of neighboring states of the Appalachian area," the Tennessee Democrat said. Elected in November to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Estes Kefauver, Bass became senator immediately after the election.

New Louisville Minister U.S. Held Failing In Concern For Its Brothers In Need By JAN MORGAN "This is a great Christian America with a church on every corner, with Congress opening with prayer. But America is on its way to hell." That's the view of the Rev. A. D.

Williams King, he told his new congregation at Zion Baptist Church, 22d and Walnut, yesterday. Mr. King, younger brother of Nobel Peace Prize winning leader Dr. Martin Luther King, arrived in Louisville last week to accept the Zion pastorate. Tomorrow he will leave for Selma, to help his brother lead a voter drive.

Then he will return to Birmingham, where he is pastor of First Baptist Church, before coming to Louisville with his wife and five children in February.

BaptistGroup To Convene Three Days The Kentucky Baptist Convention will sponsor an evangelistic conference at the Walnut Street Baptist Church, Third and St. Catherine, next Monday through Wednesday. The Rev.

Robert G. Lee, pastor emeritus of the Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, will deliver the sermon at the opening session at 6:45 p.m. Monday. He will also speak the final session at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Other Speakers Listed Other conference speakers will be Jack Stanton, associate director of the evangelism division of the Home Mission Board, Dallas, and B. Gray Allison, professor of evangelism, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. The Rev. A. B.

Colvin, secretary of missions and evangelism of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, is in charge of the convention. About 900 persons are expected. The conference theme is "True Worship."

He worked 18 months A member of the House 10 years, Bass was elected for a senatorial term of two years. He will be up for reelection in 1966.

Discussing measures before Congress of vital interest to Tennessee and neighboring states, Bass said the Appalachian bill would enable Tennessee and neighboring states "to in our nation's riches." "This area must join in President Johnson's concept of our great society if it is to grow and prosper with the rest of the nation," he said. Bass also said that aid to education, particularly on the college level, is another matter which will be of prime importance in the new Congress. School Need Cited "Without the facilities to train our youth, no program can be successfully carried out," he said. "Tennessee's institutions of higher learning are faced with increasingly large enrollments and we must make sure that no qualified student is denied the opportunity to pursue his Likewise, he said, elderly citizens of Tennessee will be looking to Congress for aid in meeting increased hospital and medical costs. President Johnson, he said, has put a high priority on legislation to provide medical care for the aged and "I will work toward passage of such bill that will assure our senior citizens full hospital care, without loss of dignity to the individual." Bass also called for revision of the excise tax program to "give an added stimulus to our economy by ridding ourselves of burdensome taxes carried over from the war years." In 11 years, yields jumped 41 percent, from 1,586 pounds per acre to an all-time high in 1963 of 2,231 pounds.

During this time, harvested acreages of burley fell 27 percent from 420,900 to 306,800. Despite that sharp acreage drop, burley production in 1964 was only six percent below the 1954 total, officials say. The yield increases are attributed to such things as heavy applications of fertilizer, chemical sucker-control materials, and high-yielding, lowquality varieties of leaf. Other factors reportedly to be outlined at the quota hearing are that, with the 1964 crop added, the total supply of burley is at a record of nearly two billion above that considered 'desirable at current usage production levels; is cigarette running about percent under that of a year ago, and that manufacturers are using less leaf in cigarettes.

After ushers had set up folding chairs for persons in the aisles, more worshipers came in and stood around the edges. Speaking slowly and deliberately at first, he gradually spoke with more vigor and with greater emotion and established an obvious rapport with the congregation.

Mr. King said his sermon was "not an argument against wealth. We ought to have it. A lot of people think poverty is a passport to heaven. I think there are as many poor people in hell as in heaven." He said the current political structure, white power structure," is a result of "nonspiritual influences" where men are "more concerned about being elected" than about God.
