Outlook Good for Burley Tobacco Sales in Eight States
State Burley sales opened with optimistic outlook, says Albert G. Clay, longtime president of the Burley Auction Warehouse Association. He predicts the crop will total under 600 million pounds, below the U S Crop Reporting Service 613 million estimate, and notes drought could reduce weight but boost usefulness for manufacturers. Most stock expected sold by December 17, with sales resuming January 3 until exhausted.

Birth Control Issue Delayed at Vatican Council
Vatican Ecumenical Council commission reportedly accepted Pope Paul VI’s suggestion to stress the present validity of past Church teaching against artificial birth control. The final schema delays a decisive ruling, keeps contraception open for possible future change, and emphasizes that artificial contraception remains banned unless revised by the Pope. The move follows Pope Paul’s instruction to include the teachings of Pius XI and Pius XII to clarify current stance amid reports of division in Vatican circles. The council, with about 2,300 prelates, continues without a final word from the commission.
