THE campaign opens. This campaign will begin in late September or early October. The Commission approved a request from the Orthopedic Hospital in Gastonia for permission to put an addition on its main building. The estimated required for the project will come from approximately 000 remaining from a bequest made the hospital in 1925 by E. B.

Latta of Asheville, a power executive. The hospital plans to add a reception room, board room, operating room and office space to the present building. ANTITRUST (Continued from Page One.) benz, which was overthrown last Sunday, began expropriating United Fruit holdings in the name of land reform two years ago. Both United Fruit and the State Department objected to Guatemala's plan for compensation payments at 1921 valuations in 25-year government ponds. Attempts to reach an agreement between the company and the Guatemalan government were unavailing.

It seemed to American officials that the Arbenz government did not want to settle, preferring to use the issue as a propaganda tool. Besides its operations in Guatemala, United Fruit has banana and other holdings in Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Cuba and El Salvador. Strikes involving some 20,000 workers broke out against the company in Honduras about six weeks ago. Wages are the primary issue. The situation, although without serious violence, has been extremely tense--with government troops being shunted about from time to time to keep order.

Standard Fruit which also operates in Honduras, settled its strike there about three weeks ago. United Fruit, while still in a wage dispute with its Honduran workers, came to terms amicably with the Costa Rican government about a from month 15 ago. to The agreement boosted, 30 per cent the amount paid the government from net profits on bananas grown there. TELEVISION (Continued from Page One.) in Durham and 5 in Raleigh from I commercial to educational, the two existing UHF channels listed for educational purposes would be automatically open for commercial purposes. The applicants in the Raleigh Channel 5 dispute, WPTF and the Capitol Broadcastiend Company, would their applications with the FCC should the petition be granted.

Channel 22 in Raleigh, a UHF channel designated for educational purposes, then probably become the goal of the two applicants in the Channel 5 dispute. The petition stated that WNAOTV was not one of the many UHF channels in the country that was going bankrupt because of VHF competition nor did a fear of this competition prompt the petition. The Sir Walter Television Company urged the Commission to consider the frequency change at the earliest possible moment before the intermixture in Raleigh and Durham of UHF and VHF channels began and the situation became frozen beyond practical recall. In his statement to the FCC, English said that should the petition be granted, the policy of all UHF channels in the RaleighDurham area would assist surrounding communities, which have only UHF channels available to them, to eventually achieve local development of their channels. "If the other interested parties are agreeable to this English said, "it will in no way retard competition, but on the contrary, may give new value to many UHF channels now going begging." DATES (Continued from Page One.) side Virginia Warehouse which includes Petersburg, Lawrenceville, and South Hill, appeared before the advisory committee and asked for the same opening date as the Middle Belt.

Their spokesman, W. E. Warriner mayor of Lawrenceville, said tobacco in that area matures two weeks earlier than in the western Old Belt. He inSisted that the three Virginia markets belong in the Middle Belt. Norman Sheppard of Smithfield, representing the Eastern Belt, asked for an opening not later than one week after the opening of the Border Belt and asserted that the with MAJOR HOOPLE THANKS, MAJOR!

"Those of us who are members feel entitled to as much consideration as those who have withdrawn," he declared in a reference to the South Carolina and North Carolina Sandhills markets. He asked if the action of those who had withdrawn would "encourage other groups to withdraw SO they can have a voice or will they be heard here?" A large delegation from the Old Belt appeared to ask for an earlier opening than usual. W. F. Marshall of Dobson, a tobacco grower and State Senator, presented several speakers who told the advisory committee that most of the tobacco in their area will be housed by September 1.

M. A. Hester of Forsyth County said farmers there are complaining that "a late opening means a late and "something always causes prices to drop" during the last few weeks of sales. Other speakers said Old Belt farmers have had a couple of disastrous seasons and they need to start selling tobacco this year as early as possible, particularly since schools in that area open around September 1. Several farmers in the Old Belt already have housed one or two barns of tobacco this season, the speakers reported.

A Middle Belt spokesman also said the crop in this area is early and farmers want their markets opened as early as possible. Spokesmen for and Georgia said drought has caused the crop there to be later than usual. The opening date, they said, should be put off to July 20-22. The meeting here on August 7 will begin at 10 a.m. The purpose will be for the advisory committee and Board of Governors to reexamine crop conditions as of that time, change the Eastern Belt opening date if necessary, and set dates for the Middle and Old Belts.

FARM BILL (Continued from Page agriculture. Were Confident. Chairman Hope (R-Kan) of the One.) ing the "dampening" effect of CCC stocks hanging over the market. An incentive payment plan for wool growers, permitting the secretary of agriculture to support wool prices as high as 110 per cent of parity to encourage production closer to the level of domestic requirements. 3.

A hike in price supports for dairy products from the present floor of 75 per cent of parity to 80 per cent. The increase would be effective until next April 1. This section of the bill also contains authority for direct subsidies to butter producers and processors to encourage disposal of dairy surpluses. But the big issue in the legislation was flexible price supports. The administration argues that a sliding scale would tend to slow down the accumulation of billion dollars worthwhich are now bulging out of government warehouses.

The idea would be to lower supports in times of plenty to discourage production and raise them when things are scarce to encoura age Those production. who want a continuation of high, rigid levels contend that the President's program, coming on the heels of a 13 per cent decline in farm prices during the past year, would be ruinous to House Agriculture Committee and other advocates of 90 per cent were confident almost to the last that they could push the high support level through over the administration's objections. On the roll call, however, 182 Republicans, 45 Democrats and one independent supported the compromise proposal. Twentythree Republicans and 147 Democrats voted against it. Almost without exception, the Democrats who supported the administration's position were from big cities.

Republicans who jumped the traces and voted against the administration were from predominantly farming districts. Hope blamed his defeat on defections by congressmen from the wool and dairy areas. N. SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 3, 1945, Under the Dome (Continued from Page One.) -Scott may be a few months senior to Ervin in age but he'll be junior to him in the Senate. Scott won't be sworn in until after he is formally elected in November.

When Scott moves in, of course, Ervin becomes the senior Senator. -L Y. (Stag) lentine, Fuquay-Varina dairyman who has been North Carolina's Commissioner of Agriculture since 1949, has been tapped by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce for service on its agricultural committee.

Clement Johnston, president of the U. S. asked Ballentine to serve on the committee, which meets twice a year and helps the Chamber formulate its agricultural and programs. Said Johnston: "Your knowledge of national problems in your field will enable you to contribute greatly to the work of the committee, and to the effectiveness of the National Cham- ber." Commissioner Ballentine replied that he would be happy to serve. PEOPLE -nominate W.

Kerr Scott and "Miss Mary" celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary yesterday. At their Haw River farm the Scotts were flooded with telegrams, phone calls and other messages of congratulation. Scott, who has since served 11 years as State Agriculture Commissioner and four years as Governor of North Carolina, and Mary Elizabeth White of Hawfields were married on July 2, 1919.

The sedan burst into flames, ploughed into the home of Mrs. Mary Peck, 79, and set the colonial frame structure afire. Mrs. Peck fled to safety. Meanwhile, the body of the plane plunged through the roof of the one-story Monroe home and fire quickly destroyed it.

Mrs. Monroe was preparing lunch while her children played outside. Her husband, Lloyd, was at work in a foundry, One of the children, Betty Lou, 1, suffered a severe laceration of the leg, presumably when struck by a part of the shattered plane, bits of which were scattered all over the community. The three other Monroe children escaped a scratch. They were Kenneth, Buddy, 6, and Nora May, 3., The air base public information office said that a board of inquiry had begun an investigation.

RAISES (Continued from Page One.) been proposed for Graham, but the Board of Health's request was considered first about six months ago and action was postponed until yesterday. Dave Coltrane, assistant director of the Budget Bureau, said the Governor and his Advisory. Budget Commission felt there ample justification for both the' salary increases. Graham, it was pointed out, heads the largest department in State government, yet has been drawing the same st salary as several other department heads among them State Conservation Director Ben E. Douglas and Assistant Budget Director Coltrane.

The $15,000 salary Graham will get now, Coltrane said, is the same as that paid Frank Page when he was highway chairman a quarter century or more ago. Members of the Commission were his authority for that statement, Coltrane said, and members of the Commission also said that Graham's previous salary was below that generally paid in other states although the chairman in North Carolina is responsible for many more thousands of miles of roads than in most states. Dr. Norton's increase, Coltrane said, will bring him more into line with other doctors who hold responsible State positions. For instance, Coltrane said, Dr.

David Young, superintendent of the State's, mental hospitals, draws a total of $16,500, of which $1,650 comes from the University of North Carolina's Division of Health Affairs. Dr. Henry Clark, director of that division, is paid $15,000. And Dr. H.

S. Willis, superintendent of the State's tuberculosis sanatoriums receives $14,718. Graham was named chairman of the Highway Commission last year, but he also served as highway chairman during the Cherry administration. Dr. Norton has been health officer about six years.

While it was giving pay raises, the Advisory Budget Commission also approved one for Marvin Cheek of High Point, chairman of the State Board of Barber Examiners. Cheek was raised from $5,364 to $6,000. This, Coltrane said, puts him slightly ahead of his fellow board members who also have been drawing $5,364. This was in part responsible for the increase, but Coltrane said the Commission felt Cheek also deserved more money because he has been filling in as executive secretary of the examining board since the death of its former secretary.

Claridge said yesterday. Claridge said forest fires have been reported this week in Alamance, New Hanover, Carteret, Hyde, Dare, McDowell and Madison counties. Low moisture content in wooded areas over most of the State makes it urgent that campers, fishermen and picknickers be "extremely careful" with fire, he said. Motorists also were urged to be careful about tossing lighted cigarettes and cigars and live pipe ashes from car windows.

TAXES (Continued from Page One.) One of the big differences between the House and Senate is how to treat income received from dividends. The House bill would consider the first $50 of dividend income tax free, and permit a taxpayer to deduct from his tax bill 5 per cent of his dividend income above $50 in the first year of the legislation. In subsequent years the first $100 would be tax exempt and the taxpayer could deduct 10 per cent of dividend income above $100. The Senate, in a day and night of maneuvering on Thursday, knocked out all of this except the $50 exemption, which would be permanent. The Republican theory advanced by Secretary of Treasury Humphrey would was that the House type plan encourage buying of -producing stocks, and thereby produce needed capital for business expansion.

Democratic critics scoffed at that. They contended it was "a rich man's Major Features. Major features of the Senate bill included: A faster method of wriging off depreciation costs on a plant or piece of equipment, the idea being to speed plant expansion and improvement.

Without this the rate would drop to 47 per cent UMSTEAD (Continued from Page One.) were some reservations as to whether income would come up to the new estimates." Despite the tight check kept on expenses during the past year, Coltrane said he felt that State services had not suffered.

The savings were divided as follows: Executive and administrative, educational institutions, charitable and correctional, State aid and obligations, public school system, and debt service, $846,000. Spending anticipated for this year includes $206,398,875 budgeted by the 1953 General Assembly, $750,000 additional debt service and a number of items carried over into this fiscal year. This includes $1,750,000 for public schools, $500,000 for additions and betterment and $175,500 allocations from contingency and emergency. The economic situation led Governor Umstead to comment at his press conference on Thursday that it is "perfectly apparent" the next General Assembly, which meets in 1955, must either reduce appropriations or increase taxes. He said he would not determine his recommendations on the subject until he sees the whole picture as it is unfolded at budget hearings in the fall.

At yesterday's meeting, the Advisory Budget Commission decided to begin these hearings on September 7. They will continue through September 15, with the Commission meeting daily except on the weekend. The hearings will take place somewhat earlier than usual because some of the Commission members who are lawyers have court cases set for the third week in September and also because the members are anxious to have the hearings out of the way before the political OUR BOARDING HOUSE USE Canine MANGE MEDICINE GIVE YOUR DOG THE BEST OF CARE Ask your druggist. 0 000000000 5 07 9 1 5 5 07 5 00 05 0 of The Matte As seen in Vogue by Brand SUMMER PERFECTION. the mark of the truly fastidious 0 handkerchief a of dainty sheer crisp batiste white with wide woven tape borders and tiny hand rolled hems.
