A—It's easy to accotxnt tor. Some firms hare changed the basis for
eyahxation of the doOar from the former January 1939 base, equal
100 cents, to a 1053 base, equal 100 cents. In April under the new
base the Talus was figured at 90.0*. down from 99.7* In April 1954.
Under the old formula, the 1985 dollar In April was worth in pur-
value 56.3* as compared to 55.4* a year earlier Under
either base, they'll buy the same.

LAFF OF THE WEEK
Dope Peddler In This Country.
Washington, June 7 Sen.
Olin D. 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.

Hail, Freeze and no Harvest.
“The tornado-like hailstorm on
March 13 and the severe freeze
of March 27 got the peach crop
in the county,” says County Ag*
ent Kearse of Saluda, “and also
severely damaged many of the
trees. 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. And it is just in
recent years we have started
rousing from our age-long onej-

IT'S AN ILL WIND
By Clarence Lindsay
s e
<«
W HAT this town needs is m
new Mayor!”
Thus spoke Deborah Melissa,Ver
non, getting up in town meeting and
with a challenging glance at War
ner Nelson, seated unobtrusively in
a corner of SchuylerviHe’ a Town
Hall. 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! The fact Is, I loosened toe
clothespins first, and toe wind did
toe rest!"
