Johnston (D„_SC) is quiet ly trying to bury his own bill that has blocked deportation of a con victed narcotics peddler, Nicole Imposts.to of Kansas City, Mo. A Senate Judiciary subcom mittee, of which Johnston him self is a member, voted yesterday to kill the bill, the Greenville News. learned today from an of ficial of the subcommittee. This vote was taken quickly and quietly, without any publicity, after the Immigration service sent in an adverse report against the bill. The vote was so secret that not even the records of the Judiciary Committee reveal it.- The official calendar shows that “no action’’ has been taken, pending receipt of the report from the Justice De partment. It already had sent the adverse report to the committee. But Johnston did not let that out, either. The full committee will vote next on the bill, which Johnston and Sen. William Danger (R ND) are jointly sponsoring to aid Im- postato. This vote will come eith er at the next meeting Monday, June 13, or the following Monday,. June 20, reliable sources predicted today. These sources refused to reveal how the subcommittee members voted, hut these are the members: Kilgore (W—Va), Eastland (Miss) Johnston, Hennings (Mo) Demo crats; Watkins (Utah), Dirksen (111) and Butler (Md), Republi cans. Johnston’s own vote, as a member of the full . committee, will be watched with interest by his constituents. He will not be able to bury his own ibill without a public funeral. Sooner or later, the Senator must explain why he, a South Car olinian, introduced this bill to block deportation of a dope ped dler in Kansas City. He has, so far, replied “no comment*’ to all questions by reporters. The re porters represent newspapers all over the country, as the mystery has aroused nation-wide interest. The Bureau of Naturalisation and Immigration ordered Impos- tato deported to his native Sicily because of his 1843 conviction for trafficking in narcotics and on the charge that he entered the United States illegally in 1924. Tne Johnston-Langer bill would declare Impostato lawfully ad mitted to this country as of pass age date of the bill. Thus it would nullify the deportation or der. The Kansas City Crime Com mission has sent , letters of pro test to the Senate Judiciary; — ■ I. i n n ■.. ... i. -i i —■■■-i...-..—, Committee, Attorney General Brownell and Missouri congress men, urging defeat of the meas ure. Federal narcotic agents testi fied in court that Impostato and other defendants in the case wese involved in a heroin-selling rack et that produced a million dollars a year. In view of his connections with "big money” of that kind, newspaper men in Washington have wondered what influential eonneqtions-^if any- Impostato might have in the capital. Johnston will not say who ask ed him to introduce the bill, tor why he did it. He has left the Im pression that he might have been ignorant of the forces'be hind the move to block the depor tation of the convicted 'drug fid dler. Since he refuses to make a statement, the newspapers can not print It. ’I’m giving yea one more chance to beg my forgiveness!** FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M.

So there will be no fruit or nut drops at all this season,” he concludes. I as^ed him what these farm ers were doing. Said, “The best they can with more feedstuffs, sweet potatoes, and some aro matic tobacco.” Now extend that on to the down-state area of recent or chards, on up Chesterfield way, across York and Cherokee, and into the world’s greatest fresh peach shipping section in the Spartanburg section, and yon have disaster that was truly colossal. Livestock and poultry summer drops are being worked to the limit in these areas. Bat yon can’t completely adjust quickly to other things when your main stay is gone. County agentscall- ed their leaders together and much emergency planning was done. Summer will go and the har vest season will come, and here’s hoping it will be good, specially for those who were hard hit and had to quickly change their course in mid-stream. Soybeans, A New Crop Much of our expanding grain acreage is now followed immed iately by soybeans^ That’s a Combination that’s hard to beat. Two money crops on the same land in a year and two rich res idues turned under, not bad. In fact, most farming sections of this country can’t do that, sea sons are too short. One of our main advantages here is that climate permits of year-around farming. And anoth er is that every major crop pro duced in the United States, ex cept citrus, not only can be grown here, hut folks are growing it successfully. My, what other re gions would give for that! That and our great water potential the Almighty sends here in a 48-inch rainfall are endowments of trans cendent value.

Warner, is so happened, held the exalted office to which the lady referred. Now he rose to his feet, a tan man who habitually exuded geni ality. Far from feeling insulted by the widow’s remarks he was amused. With a chuckle be de manded: “Maybe you think yen could fill the job, Mrs. Vernon? "We’re for you. If you run!” de clared old Mr. Titus. "But dear me, the trouble is you’ve interested yourself in public mat ters before this, and folks don’t know much about you!” "Well, they win, before the cam paign’s over!” was toe emphatic response. In due course she was nominated and toe feminine element rallied behind her. I^ut Warner wasn't wor ried. He’d always rewarded tooae who stood by him and had no fears but what he’d win in a walk. "Mighty fine woman, that Debo rah Vernon!” he declared. "But she paawB nothing about politica— or how to run a town of this size!” Two days before the polls opened a terrific wind-storm descended on the town, tearing branches from the shade trees and sending chok ing clouds of dust swirling through toe poorly swept streets. Deborah had her wash out on that day, and before she could take it in a strong gust tore a certain intimate gar ment from the line and sent it car- reening down the walk and out on the public way. It was carried out of sight in almost no time. His Honor, the Mayor, was brac ing the wind on his way home when a bit of lace and fine linen blew smack against his generous mid waist. He grabbed it—noted the name woven thereon in blue letters —and then with a wide grin stuffed tt in his pocket. The next day the News-Herald came out with an extra annonuclng the Mayor’s find and describing it in s delectable detail The article went on to say that it had been picked up to the streets and bore the name of the feminine candidate for Mayog, and concluded by say ing it could be retrieved by toe owner on application at the News- Herald office. Not the least bit abashed, Deb orah reclaimed her property; but not before the special edition had been hawked all over town. Folks generally were highly amused, and many who hadn't previously thought very much about toe is sues of the campaign, turned up to toe audience which gathered in toe Plaaa to listen to toe lady make her final appeal for support to toe iaoe tor Mayor. In toe course of her remarks she declared she was very gi»H the News-Herald had publicized her loss, tor it brought- up die matter of cleaner streets. She said she could hardly recognise her prop erty when she got it back on account of toe fact that it was 1 -mm w.J The tel Air Sport Coupe with Body by Fisher, thickly coated wito Schuylervffle AB to an. It was an ovation. Warner had expected his little joke to bring ridicule on his rival, but as matters turned out, the published article proved to be the finest sort of publicity for Deborah. Her name waa on every Up and after the votes had been cast and toe final returns were in. it was plain that she had been elected by_a very substantial majority. With commendable good humor and grace, Warner lost no time in congratulating toe victor, adding: "You know, I guess that piece in the News-Herald sort o* back fired!—Oh, well! Never mind! It’s an HI wind that blows no good to anyone! You were lucky!” Hls hearer laughed softly. "HmJ I wouldn’t say It waa altogether took!
