George Says
Ike's Trade
Program Safe
Washington, April 4—Senator
George (D-Ga.) predicted today
Pres. Eisenhower’s reciprocal
trade agreerr^nts program will
escape destruction in the Senate
It has been under attack and in
trouble.
George, an influential member
of the Senate Finance committee,
said in an interview he believes
the committee wil report out a
bill containing no “destructive
amendments a few days after
senators return April 13 from
an Easter vacation.
The House voted previously to
extend the program three years
It approved additional authority
under which the President could
cut tariffs gradually by a total of
15 per cent.
Senate Stand
George and some other sena
tors feel that if the Finance Com
mittee supports the same general
principles, the senate would be
likely to pass the bill without
major amendments.
Taking note of the “imense'
effort he said was being made in
the Senate to curtail presidential
authority, George said he doesn’t
believe that when the final
showdown comes “we are going
to adopt as many amendments
as it had been generally thought
we would."
“I don’t believe there will be
any amendments that will de
stroy the program,” he said.
He said he doubts a proposal
by Sen. Neely (DW.Va.) arid 16
colleagues to write into the bill a
quita on oil imports would get
committee approval.
Coal-Oil Problem
Neely has propised that such
imports be limited to 10 per
cent pf domestic consumption,
which would involve a consider
able reduction in crude oil com
ing into this country. Neely con
tends the domestic coal industry
has been hurt by the foreign fuel
oil.
“If w3 start adopting amend
ments like that it is going to
make it very dificult to resist a
lot of other proposals,” George
observed.
George indicated he may line
up with some administration Re
publicans to resist any quita or
exemption amendments for spe
cific products. Administration
leaders have been angling for
backing from Sen. Millikin (R-
Colo), former committee chair-
i man, on this issue.
George said he thinks there
may be “some amendments that
won’t hurt the program.” While
he did not specify, this was tak
en as an indication that he might
back some changes to tighten up
operation of the acts “escape”
clause under which domestic
producers gain protection.
However, the Georgia senator
said he won’t support an amend
ment similar to that offered by
Rep. Daniel A. Reed (R-NY) and
defeated in the House. It would
force the President to accept the
recomendations of the Tariff
Commission in ‘escape” clause
cases unless he held that nation
al security required the tariff
cut.
Eisenhower and former Presi
dent Truman often have over
ruled the commission in such
cases.
Charleston Tests
100% Effective
Charleston, April 12—The Salk
I polio vaccine proved 100 per cent
■ effective in Charleston county, the
only South Carolina area which
participated last spring in the na
tionwide test.
The vaccine was found 80 to 90
per cent effective nationally, it
was announced yesterday.
Dr. Leon Banoy, director of the
Charleston county health depart
ment, said he was delighted to
hear of the favorable report, and
it was no surprise to him. He add
ed, "We found that in the 44 cases
of poliomyelitis reported in the
county last year, not one of the
children involved had received the
vaccine."
More than 3,500 children in the
county participated in the field
trial Last spring.
