WHITE HOUSE ACTION SOUGHT FOR COTTON Washington — Spurred by a dramatic visit of more .than 100 senators and representatives to Presdient Eisenhower, top offic ials of the executive branch of the government are seeking a sloution to the tuition’s cotton surplus problem. Senator George of Georgia fo cused the attention of the presi dent on the need for a single, “in tegrated" program to dispose of excess raw cotton stocks and at the same time to prevent U. S. textile mills from suffering hard ship in the event American cot ton is sold overseas at lower prices than at home. The dean of the senate was accompnaied to the White House by ranking members of congress of both parties and all cotton producing and textile manufac turing regions, from New Eng land, the Southeast through the cotton belt to California. The group pointed out that American cotton, priced above the world market, is fast losing its compe titive position, that cotton ex ports are dwindling and excess supplies are piling up despite se vere acreage cuts. They emphasized the need for Carolina Stars Whip Anderson *ln 13th # 8-4 Calhoun Falls, Aug. 9 — The Carolina Textile League All- Stars whipped the Anderson County League All-Stars 8-4 in 13 inpings here. Pratt of Ninety-Six opened the Carolina’s 13th with a walk. Ray Waters of Calhoun Falls doubled Pitcher Charlie Malpass of Jo anna, scored two runs for the Carolina stars. Truman Owens of Joanna then singled, Malpass going to third and Owens taking second on the throw. After two were out Jo anna’s Harry Hamilton singled, driving across Malpass and Ow ens with the final two tallies. H an export sales program where by American cotton can be sold competitively in world markets, urging also that such a program be combined with controls on imports of textile goods. Other wise the cotton would only come back to the United States in the form of cloth, hurting farmers’ home markets and disrupting the home textile industry. Many of the senators and rep resentatives had previously ex pressed concern over what will happen to American textile mills and the domestic market for cot ton when new textile tariff cuts gc u| nto effect next month. A bill now before Congress, signed by 64 senators including several who made the White House visit, asks the secretary of agriculture to develop an equitable raw cotton export pro gram with textile import quotas. n ii Night of Music' At Methodist Church ♦ A “Night of Music” will be ob- sreved at Broad Street Methodist church for the evening service on Sunday, August 21.

Postmaster Adair Gives Suggestions For Safer Moiling • The safety, speed and sureness in the delivery of the U. S. mail will be improved if the users of the mails follow ten basic postal pointers outlined today by Post master William D. Adair. “The users of the mails can help thqmselves get better ser vice by following these ten sug gestions,” Mr. Adair said. T feel certain the American people will cooperate with the post office de partment in this mutual effort to provide the best mail service pos sible.” 1. Address mail fully and clearly. Write legibly or print plainly. Where applicable, use zone numbers. Avoid using ab breviations which might confuse mail handlers. 2. Always use a return address in the upper left hand corner of both letters and packages. When you do so, you prevent undeliv ered mail going to the “dead let ter” office. 3. Do not enclose coins or hard objects of any kind in letters, without marking envelope for hand stamping. High speed can celling machines cannot process such letters, often jam and dam age letters. 4. Do not mail cash. For safe ty’s sake, use Postal Money Or ders or checks. 9. Make certain parcels are well packed and securely wrap ped. Enclose card with your return address and recipient’s ad dress. This protection permits delivery of your package if the wrapper is damaged. 6. Double check to make sure your mail has the correct amount of psotage. ‘Postage Due” de lays letters and disappoints re cipients. 7. To speed letters through) cancelling machines, be sure stamps are in upper right hand comer. 8. Insure parcels. Register letters of real value. Use certi fied Mail for letters of no in trinsic value where only proof of delivery is required. 9. Mail early and often. Ear lier mailings mean earlier de liveries because your letters or other mail catch earlier trains, planes or other transporters of mail. Large mailers should sep arate mail into local and out of town bundles. 10. Make sure your correspon dents have your correct address. Always use zone numbers, where applicable. Be certain your cor respondents are notified of any’ change of address. “Every postal employee," Mr. Adair emphasized, “is happy to answer questions on postal rules and regulations. Their years of experience in postal service makes them experts in solving postal problems. I suggest that anyone having problems about postage rates or postal matters see his local postmaster.’’ Sign Painting W. H.
