PAGE TWO THE PARIS NEWS, PARIS. TEXAS $'l TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 17, 1944 3- i. i i- i 'V No Letup V-E Day In Military Needs For Transportation Travel Job Toward West Coast Will Be More Difficult CHICAGO, An Army and Navy.officer and a leading shipper representative, in a radio broadcast Tuesday, declared there 'will be no letup in military demands 'for transportation after victory in Europe. The transportation job, they asserted in their prepared talks over station WLS, will become more difficult and more exacting. Men and material headed for the Pacific theatre will be moved through the Atlantic and Gulf ports as well as the Pacific ports, they disclosed, because West Coast 'ports "will not have the capacity to handle all of the traffic moving to the Pacific." Brig.

Gen. Andrew F. Mclntyre, of Washington, chief of the rail division of the Army Transportation Corps, predicted that the Army's load on the transcontinental railroads will about double with the shift of the war emphasis to the Pacific. General Mclntyre said that in addition to the heavier traffic westward the transportation job will be complicated by the longer distances involved. Rear Adm.

Everett G. Morsell of Chicago, district supply officer of the Ninth Naval District, said that "our transcontinental railroads will be called upon to haul more and more Navy traffic as the tide of military transportation is diverted westward, the increase in demands for shipping facilities to the West Coast will not be delayed until V-E is a current need, the Navy's requirement for the Pacific phase of the war will continue to increase no matter what happens in Europe." George H. Shafer of St. Paul, president of the National Association of Shippers Advisory Boards, predicted a tighter car situation on the railroads when more military traffic stars flowing toward the Pacific. 247 Students Enrolled At PJC This Semester According to Miss Mary Hankins, registrar, there are 207 regular day-time students, including nurses, enrolled at Paris Junior College this semester.

HlRVOUS McDonald Awaits Politics To See If His Agriculture Plan Is Adopted Paris News Austin Bureau AUSTIN, Texas recent release from Austin headquarters 'of the Texas Regulars cited, as an example of the anti-New Deal sentiment in Texas, the votes piled up by two men despite their known antipathies to the New Deal: U. S.

Senator W. Lee O'Daniel and Agricultural Commissioner James Eric McDonald. This release serves to point up a fact in connection with this year's political campaign. Commissioner McDonald not only has taken no sides in this year's campaign (up to this date); he has also told inquiring reporters that he has absolutely no comment. Such an attitude by the Commissioner could be simply explained in terms of his own reasoning.

McDonald is interested in only one thing, agriculture. He is "sold," almost to the point of fa- aticism, on one farm plan, the so- called domestic allotment plan. Neither side Republican nor as yet advocated this plan of farm assistance. Hence there is no reason to take sides as there was four years ago when the late Wendell Willkie agreed with the Commissioner's views. In fact, the Commissioner could lean toward the Democrats just now if he cared to; for a recent statement by Marvin Jones, the War Food Administrator, indicated that Jones believes some' sort of "protection" should be builded for the domestic supply of farm produce.

Back in the 'thirties, McDonald was one of the original sponsors of the "cotton holiday" law, but to- day the Commissioner no restriction should be put upon the farmer's allowed production. His domestic allotment plan as explained by him is the essence of simplicity. The domestic supply need for all agriculture products would be determined by the secretary of agriculture. This the would be distributed pro rata among farmers in terms of bales, bushels or pounds. acres.

For this domestic supply, the price would be guaranteed, a parity price. The farmer could produce as much more as he cared to; but it would have to be sold on foreign markets at world prices. This, McDonald insists, is comparable to protection for industry, provided by present laws. When either party adopts this plan, McDonald may get back into "politics" again.

Former King Caro! Companion Remain On Ship at New Orleans NEW ORLEANS Former King Carol of Romania remained aboard ship in New Orleans harbor Tuesday, but as to whether he planned to come ashore during his expected stay of several days here, he had "no comment." Carol and his red-haired companion, Mme. Elena Lupescu, arrived Monday, aboard the Argentine Steamer Tunuyan en route from Vera Cruz, Mexico, to Brazil. They stayed on the ship overnight although State Departmenl representatives in Washington said New Orleans imigration officials had authority to permit them ashore. TCU Student Council Writes Regents Letter Supporting Rainey FORT WORTH, Kenneth Womack of Fort Worth, president of the Student Council of Texas Christian University, and June Dameron of Hereford, secretary, have written a letter in support of Dr. Homer P.

Rainey as president of the University of Texas. The letter, directed to University of Texas regents, and made public Monday, said: "Recent press reports indicated that our state University of Texas constitutes a crisis throughout the state," the letter stated, "University students, especially those who are Texans, feel a deep pride in the educational institutions of our state and we are now chagrined and perplexed at the lack of understanding shown by the board of regents as to the proper relation- 5hip between an administrator and his advisory board."

Game of Suei Shares Resumes In French Marts Score At Moment Is No One Knows Who Owns Canal PARIS, of the big-time financial world's most intricate and fascinating games, the game of Suez Canal shares, is resuming full blast in France's security marts. The "score" at the moment knows who owns the Suez Canal. The 100-mile lockless ditch connecting the Red Sea with the Mediterranean is so important militarily and economically that it is operated as an international project.

But financially it is a semiprivate corporation. Its securities for half a century have been one of the world's most lucrative lucrative that speculation in Suez shares has become a game quite apart from the canal itself. There was a report during the German occupation of France that the Germans, by manipulating French securities, had cornered a working majority of Suez shares. This would be a financial coup of no mean proportions. The Germans, in 1940, ordered the French turn in their Suez shares to be impounded but many did not do so and continued trading in the black market was possible because of France's loose system of registering securities.

In this way Germans, through French quisling straw men, could acquire Suez shares. Naturally no German is in a position now to exercise his rights and the straw men, if they hold certificates, may fall heir to them. Of the effective 800,000 thousand shares, 353,024 by latest report are in the hands of the British government. The other 446,796 shares are scattered over the globe, potentially holding the secret of who really "owns" the canal. The canal management does not know because there has been no stockholders' meeting since June 3, 1940, just before the fall of France when the 1939 profits were divided.

The profits since then have been impounded in Egypt and England awaiting the next meeting. FINANCIAL ADS BANNED PARIS advertising has been banned from newspapers and other periodicals under a new ordinance of the Ministry of Information published Tuesday. The undue influence of financial advertisers has been cited under the liberation regime as one of the French press' shortcomings before the war. DEATHS KELLY FUNERAL Funeral service for Mrs. W.

Army, Elementary Algebra Being Taught at PJC For the first time, a course of elementary algebra is being taught at Paris Junior College. Miss Rena Smith is instructor. The fact thai the faculty realized that some of the students do not have a chance to get foundation math in high school is the reason for the course, it is said.

Of the 13 students enrolled, there is one girl; this seems to show that boys realize a more practical need for algebra, Miss Smith said. College credit is given for this course by PJC and in some other colleges. The American Red Cross was founded by Clara Barton in 1881.
