C., Nov. 3.— :tlcally all economic have testified before banking and currency have stressed the need orice ceilings and probably wage control if we hope to avoid sky-rocketing of prices. Hut despite this testimony, there are few here who think the corn- will do any- about it. / It is the consensus of opinion in circles that a price bill will be passed—but that it will merely be a “face-sav- ArR” measure lacking the drastic necessary to do an ade- job. The only other alter- seems to be the possibility giving the President complete control over nrices and perhaps over wages—thus passing the buck to the President. *• . Congressmen are plainly worried about all proposals for price or proposa control. Those from the ! technicians by June 30 and even- the threat of marked inflation is as close as present price rises and expert opinion indicates the delay on price legislation, and the possible ignoring of wage control, will probably cost the public bil lions of dollars in increased cost of living. ^ Meanwhile, plans for spending many more billions than were origihally planned for our defense program are being completed. Studies made of war in Russia seem to have convinced the ad ministration that the war must'be won with tanks and a compre hensive plan has been worked out to double or triple the rate of production of tanks. . Figures on costs are bandied about to such an extent that they are becoming almost meaningless, but it has been said bv some offi- that, over a period of three to five years, plans now ; In we ™avw may send our defense bill as high as $240,000,000,©00. In less astronomical terms, that means the government would eventually have to collect an average of a- bout $2,000 from every man, woman and child in America. In addition to tanks, the new plans wOl call for a great increase in plane production and in the size of our air force. The army already has announced plans for expanding its air force so that it will include 400,000 pilots and farm areas have orders from back home to prevent any ceilings on farm prices. Those from indus- <4ftal districts have been told in no uncertain, terms that organized labor 4 won’t tolerate curbs on wages. Together, the representa tives of these two groups have enough strength to control the passage or defeat of any proposed measure. The only way that a measure with teeth in it can be forced through congress is if the Presi dent himself demands passage of sound legislation. Already he has made it plain that price control is needed immediately—but it is probable that he will have to put a lot of pressure behind this re quest in order to get legislation which he considers adequate. Although the President has op posed wage eentrol) pwhMr daat for more curbs on union activities and for "no-strike" legislation may stimulate action to control waxes. The public has made it plain, that it wants labor activities controlled—the whole nation hav ing been frightened over John L. Lewis’ willingness to consider the Mt. Carmel News tually will reach 500,000 men. Congress seems to be in a mood to pass any appropriation bill which is presented with the “de fense" label on it, so proposals by the President for expenditure of additional billions will undoubted ly be approved with little oppo sition. Some congressmen, however, are grumbling over the use which is being made of our vast defense and lend-lease funds and it can. be : q* Greenwood expected that there will be some OI tightening up on the certain ex penditures. Several, for example, have demanded that food sent to Great Britain should be paid for in cash, since it is pointed out that the food is sold- for cash to the people of Britain and there is no reason why we should supnly food free so that British dis tributors can make all the profit. Another example is the amend ment which the senate added to the new lend-lease bill forbidding the use of any of the approved funds for purchasing food outside of the United States The President has recently atience over all shown impatience over all press closed shop and union demands! conference questions which infer mere important than continuation; any doubt as to the need for our HOLM 1HEA1HE Jib, McCORMICK, S.

Yet there are many here, as well as among the pub lic, who feel that the President, in spite of his belligerent attitude, will do anything possible to avoid an expeditionary force.

Will Bring Higher Standards Of Liv ing On The Farm Improved farming methods in McCormick County, and higher standards of living on the farm, are bound to be the result of the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Defense program, said E. Hanvey, county farm supervisor of the Farm Security Administration today. "Farmers generally, large and small, are pledging themselves to raise more food and feedstuffs in keeping with Secretary Wickard’s appeal. “Since the average farmer, par ticularly the farm family on the FSA program, can’t get more acres to cultivate, and since there is a practical tt| tl^e added num ber of liVest3)i|fbe- purchased at once, the thing to do in fulfilling this pledge is to increase yields, feed livestock for more weight and more production. This means better farming. It may be that the increased emphasis on ‘Food for Freedom’ will be the greatest boost for intelligent and pain staking farming we have ever had in this county. As for the low-income farmers who participate in the FSA pro gram, the first consideration will be the production of more food for themselves, and the learning how to use this food better for sake of health. The next thing that the little farmer will be urged to do will be to raise more feed for additional livestock and poultry that he undertook to raise in connection with FSA’s “Food for Defense” program last May and June. And these two things will lead natural ly to production of more things to be marketed. *- “It is on both the production and marketing end that the Farm Security Administration will help through encouraging county pur chasing and marketing associa tions,” he said. “This will be the means for the low-income farmer to get the seed, fertilizer, machin ery and breeding stock that he can’t get otherwise. And this will be the means of commanding bet ter markets, because he will Grange Is Organized At Buffalo On Wednesday night, October 29, a picnic supper was served at the Buffalo school house. After supper a Buffalo Grange was or ganized. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Leonard of Donalds were with us and Mr. Leonard had charge of this meeting along with assistance of others interested.

Hundreds of dollars in cash prizes, yards of blue, red and white- prize ribbons, trophies and other awards will be distributed among proud owners of livestock, poultry* swine and club exhibits, in addi tion to builders of beautiful model airplanes, flower growers and stamp collectors.

The Department of Commerce, through the Bureau of the Census, announces the preliminary report on cotton ginned prior to October 18, by counties, in South Carolina, for the crops of 1941 and 1940. be I The total for the State was made able to join hands with his neigh- public on Saturday, October 25 bors to produce enough to attract dependable markets. “Next comes our job of trying the increased production to the needs of people, with the idea that home plans are no less im portant than farm plans. “Not only the Farm Security Administration but all other a- gencies of the Department of Ag riculture have gone into this pro gram with the idea of building ag riculture on a sounder basis—not to plow up vast areas that will be left to blow away after the emer gency passes, as happened in the last war, but to plan carefully. We’re all looking to the long future after the emergency passes when our new knowledge of how to grow more food will be turned to our own services and improve ment. , _ .
