Council adjourns for Christmas week as Burns warns of broader war if Israeli reprisals continue.

Leaf Growers Urged to Choose Seed Varieties for 1956 Crop
Raleigh tobacco officials urge growers to select seed varieties carefully as the 1956 crop risks excess flue cured tobacco with little aroma or flavor. Export sales, over a third of production, depend on body color and aroma, and foreign buyers may seek leaf from other countries if the US crop fails to meet quality standards.
