fy. J. **Din(y 99 Moore. Hood Citizen
The fact that this section of the state
is a potential live stock production area has
been vividly demonstrated by L. J. “Dinty”
Moore. He came to Newton County a few
years ago and has made an excellent citizen.
He is a distinct asset to our community in a
tangible way.
Coming to Newton County at the begin
ning of the war, he purchased about 750
acres of what one might call waste land. He
purchased this acreage for the sum of $12.50
per acre. The timber on the acreage
brought ten dollars per acre and this made
the net cost of this waste land to Mr. Moore
at $2.50 per acre.
With characteristic enthusiasm and de
termination, Mr. Moore began to carve out
of this waste land a homestead. With bull
dozers he leveled his land, cut away scrub
growths and began to make permanent
pastures.
He constructed a temporary home,
barns and implement houses. The old red
clay hills were bare and looked to be en
tirely unproductive. Mr. Moore brought
his charming wife and chidren to Newton
County and they immediately made them
selves one of the community.
He began to purchase other lands
around. He bought the old Meadors place
which adjoins his land and began to im
prove this place. This added 276 acres to
his holdings.
He later bought about 800 more acres
which brought his holdings in Newton
County to approximately 1,800 acres. All
this time he was building his land, pur
chasing registered beef cattle and build-

WASHINGTON — A difference
of opinion exists among govern
ment, economists as to whether
the postwar inflation, which has
surged steadily forward for two
and one-half years, is going up
ward or slowing down.
However, on one point all are
agreedr The inflation does not
have as much wind in i‘s sales
as it had.
Members of the Council of
Economic Advisers lean mostly to
the idea that inflation will move
ahead. Since President Truman
takes his cue from the council,
he will again present nis twice
rejected inflation program to
Congress, with price controls,
ationing and other trimmings
However, Congress, with its
strong tendency for prying into
;hings. will sample the views
of those who do not agree with
the council. The upshot, there
fore. is that it will be in no
nurry to adopt the president's
anti-inflation program, and ve.y
likely will reject the main pro
posals.
All this depends, of course, on
the international situation. If it
continues to stumble along, as
it has been doing for months,
then look for 'no anti-inflation
legislation of consequence.
If it gets so much worse that
defense and foreign aid spending
lunge upward Unexpectedly, then
look for controls.
Defense and foreign aid spend
ing are the leaven in the ec
onomic loaf now. If they stay
close toe where they are, inflation
may not show much continued
vigor. If they increase, inflation
will swell decidedly.
In this connection, it should be
recalled that President Truman
has placed, at least temporarily,
a 15 billion dollar ciling on de
fense spending in the next fiscal

year beginning July 1.
Out of the battle of words oyer
the chief executive’s “economy”
defense budget, it is becoming
increasingly clear that the 81st
Congress will disregard the re
commendation and carry on ex
pansion of at least the Air Force
—to 10 groups.
Under the 15 billion dollar
figure, the Army, Navy and Ait-
Force would receive about five
billions each. .Under this set-up,
the Air Force which has grown
to 60 groups on its way to the
70-group goal, would have to be
cut back to 50 groups.
However, the nation and the
legislators have become too air
power conscious, through the
tremendous victories won by
aviation in the last war, to ac
cept the Truman program.
It is likely, therefore, that in
fluential congressional leaders
will desert President Truman on
this issue and approve the seven
billion dollars necessary to Air
Force expansion. r ■
COAL—An odd feature of the
economic picture seems to be
that, with steel mills and heavy
industry in general going full
blast, biturpinous Coal is piling
up in the bins.
Late reports from the bureau
of minep shows 67 million tons
of soft coal above ground. A
number of small mines have shut
^own, and larger concerns are
concentrating on selling their
output.
A few price cuts have been re
ported, but with stocks on hand,
buyers just do not seem to be
interested.in getting more.
One main reason for the ex
cess is the recovery of coal pro
duction in Europe. American ex
ports in September, for instance,
were only 1.101.257 tons, against
4,383,587 tons in September of
ing for the future.
i Evidence that his ambitions had merit
and his industry was rewarded is the Tact
that he has now over 800 acres of perma.-
' nent pastures, with many head of cattle
grazing thereon.
In further evidence of this fact is the
news story from the National Hereford
1 show at Denver. Mr. Moore took five sons
and five daughters of El Toro, a bull which
*he purchased for SIO,OOO, to the Denver
show. One of his bulls was declared the
Champion Sale Bull and was sold for $6,500.
One of the heifers sold for $2,500.
For a Georgian to carry his cattle to
h Denver, the center of the eattje industry,
and win several prizes is evidence of faith
in his breeding ability. Mr. Moore did just
। this and was successful in his showing of
cattle he had reared on “waste land.”
Mr. Moore has also helped other farm
, i ers .in this community to start raising cattle
by selling them good stock at moderate
prices. In every respect he has proven to
he a good neighbor, always eager and will
i ing’ to assist the farmers in his community
in every way possible.
Mr. Moore has also proven he is inter
; ested in the things which tend to help Cov
ington. He has donated liberally in ‘time
and money to every worthwhile enterprise

I LABOR—The prediction today
'on Capitol Hill is that the new
j Democratic-controlled Congress
will not repeal the Taft-Hartley
act.
j The concensus is that in view
of President Truman’s victory at
। the polls, Congress probably will
: make a major revision in the
law, but not favor outright re
peal.
The president campaigned for
I outright repeal of the law en
acted by the Republican-con
trolled 80th Congress. The Demo
cratic platform also carried a
similar pledge.
Labor organizations which
played a big part in the Demo
cratic victory are expected to
hold the administration to its
promise. Expectations are among
House and Senate members, how
ever, that a compromise will be
worked out.
