BISHOP-WALKER PHARMACY “The Rexall Store” TOPS The report presents a complete analysis of the economy of the i country, a short range and a long! range economic program. And while j the congress for six months has ar- i gued budgets and tax reduction, not! a single piece of legislation has been ] considered which would stave off a! depression or which takes into con-1 sideration a single feature of the , advisory committee report. This re port urges the congress first, as short-range steps, to prevent a de gression and increase the economic | outlook and production for business , t oreduce prices. That was last Jan uary. Second, extend rent control 'beyond June 30; third, increase cov erage of fair labor standards act and j i raise the minimum wage; fourth, re- ! vise benefit payments under social security system; fifth, passage by j congress at earliest possible moment ! of non-partisan housing legislation; sixth, that it is unsound fiscal policy to reduce taxes at this time and that when reductions are made they should contribute to the maintenance of purchasing power by reducing the burden on the mass of taxpayers rather than on the few in the high income brackets. The long-range program urged permanent legislation against dis crimination in employment or wag es; expansion of school lunch pro gram (it is now being curtailed); en actment of a uniform patent policy, [ extension of the Clayton act to con- I trol mergers by acquisition of assets as well as stock; increase of appro priations- for control of monopoly; extension of coverage and benefits of the social security act; a study of need for food and nutrition pro grams; study of regional power, irri gation and flood control develop ment; study of chronically depressed areas; study of the system of federal grants to states; new legislation on monopoly and monopolistic practices, better access by small business to long term credit and equity capital, and several other recommendations. None of these factors have even been considered by this ssesion of the congress which is scheduled to adjourn possibly June 30. • • • • Outside the army and the veter ans adminstratiion which have not been considered, actual cuts made by the GOP in President Truman’s $37,- 500,000,000 budget requests in nine appropriations bills total $1,205,000,- 000. According to the Congressional Record this is admitted by Senator Taft, GOP leader. Senator Tydings of Maryland said; “I ask the Senator, (Taft) however, if the actual cuts made in the nine bills which have already been acted on, excluding the $800,000,000 tax refund provision (which has to be m Gray Funeral Home CUntoa, 8.

Entomoligsts at the Pee Dee ex periment station at Florence report more weevils at the present time than has been the case in many years. Mr. Jordan urges farmers to act promptly ot save their cot- tpn crop.
