Thursday, October 21, 1954 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pace Fhrt Disaster Aid For Carolinas Is Authorized Washington, Oct. 17. — Presi dent Eisenhower cut through government red tape at an em ergency White House session Sunday and authorized imme diate and unlimited federal aid to hurricane-stricken areas of North and South Carolina. He acted at the urgent request of Gov. James F. Bymes of South Carolina and Gov. Wil liam B. Umpstead of North Car olina, who telegraphed the Pres ident about extensive damage and suffering from Friday’s storm. The two governors asked immediate federal aid. The President notified them he was declaring a major disaster in the affected areas of the two states and aided: The President notified them he was declaring a major disaster in the affected areas of the two states and added: “I have allocated to the Fed eral Civil Defense Administra tion such funds for federal assist ance as are necessary to supple ment state and local efforts.” In effect, he gave blank check authority to the agency to spend whatever amount it finds neces sary to provide emergency aid to the area. James C. Haerty, the White House press secretary, said there was no estimate of the amount that would be required. Under normal procedure, the Civil Defense Agency would be ed, and make a statement of the results for each office, and sign the same. Within three days thereafter the Chairman of the Board, or some one designated by the Board, must deliver to the Commissioners of Election the poll list, the box containing the ballots and written statements of the results of the election. At the said election qualified electors will'vote upon ttje adop tion or rejection of amendments to the State Constitution, as pro vided in the following JOINT RESOLUTIONS: STATEWIDE CONSTITUTION AL AMENDMENTS NO. 1 A joint resolution proposing an amendment to Section 19 of Ar ticle III, of the Constitution of this state, relating to mileage, per diem, and other compensation of members of the General Assem bly, so as to provide that mem bers of the General Assembly shall receive such mileage as may be provided by law.

' LOCAL CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS NO. 3 Beaufort County A joint resolution proposing an amendment to Sections 5 and 6 of Article X of the Constitution, called on to survey damage and providing among other things a make a report on which a speci fic allocation of funds could be based. But the President by passed that time-taking proced ure in making federal money available from his emergency disaster relief fund. In addition, he directed Lt. Gen. Alexander.R. Bolling, 3rd Army commander at Atlanta, Ga., to make available whatever assistance the arme^ forces can give. A request from Maryland’s Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin for limited aid to three coastal islands is being studied by Civil Defense officials, Hagerty said. No other states have asked for aid thus far. The President issued his orders after an emergency White House conference with Val Peterson, federal civil defense administra tor, and Carter L. Burgess, as sistant secretary of defense for manpower and personnel. Civil Defense officials already are at work in the stricken areas, under supervision of Col. Harry Brown of Thomasville, Georgia, PCDA director for that area.

This is the minimum quota permitted by farm law. The quota is subject to ap proval by at least two thirds of the growers voting in a referen dum to be held December 14. The quotas are designed to prevent over production of the fiber crops. Quotas were put into effect for this year’s crop and will permit, by comparison, the sale of about 12,500,000 bales. Benson also set the 1955 cotton planting allotment at 18,113,208 acres. This compared with the 1954-crop allotment of 21,379,000 acres. However, the acreage planted to this year’s crop was slightly less than 20 million acres. The national planting allot ment will be apportioned among states, counties and individual farms largely on the basis of past acreages.
