i Thursday, July 14,1955 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Strom' lurmokd Custom Bill lUduoM Tariffs The Senate is expected to act soon on a bill that would fur ther reduce tariffs on imports from foreign nations in compe tition with our textile and other products manufactured in this country. ^This would be in addi tion to the drastic cuts negotia ted under the 1051 Trade Law at the recent GATT Conference in Geneva. The measure, called the Cus toms Simplification bill, would reduce tariffs on an average of 2V4 per cent—as much as 15 per cent— on some items—by re defining terms previously used in import duty evaluations. For this reason, I shall vigorously op pose the bill when it comes up for Senate floor action. It has already been passed by the House. 41 Join Tariff Fight Forty-eight Senate colleagues have joined me in introducing a resolution that would order an investigation of the effects of the textile tariff cuts negotiated at the GATT Conference. The res olution would direct the Tariff Commission to begin a study of the drastic tariff reductions— some running as high as 27 to 48 per cent on the basic products of the textile industry—and to make a report to the President. What we are seeking is pre ventive action. I do not believe we should wait until irreparable harm is done our industry be fore we act to provide the nec essary relief. I have high hopes for passage of this resolution since a majority of the Senate Pepsi-Cola Refreshes without filling No Finer at Any Price Reduced In Calories ...TAKE HOME A CARTON TODAY! PEPSI-COLA BOTTLING CO. Greenville, S. C. has already joined in support of it as co-sponsors. President Can Adjust Rates By starting a study into the likely effects of these tariff re ductions as soon as they go into effects—September 10—precious time can be saved. This time saved could well determine how full a schedule our mills might operate on. As.soon as the investigation is completed, the Commission must file a report with the President, who has the power to impose quotas, raise tariffs, or make any other adjustments necessary to provide adequate protection for our textile industry and its mil lion employees. I have notified the President of my actions, and I have asked that he also order the Tariff Commission to make this inves tigation. Cuts Under Old Law Realizing 'the vital importance of the textile industry to South Carolina and the nation as a whole, I am deeply concerned as to the likely effects of the Gen eva negotiations. These cuts were made possible under the 1951 extension of the old trade law. I am glad that the new law as passed this year, however, does have adequate protection written into it by three amendments of fered on behalf of 16 Senate col leagues and myself. These amendments make it impossible to further reduce items severely cut at Geneva. Reserve Bill Passes The House has now passed the Reserve bill without Congress man Powell’s amendment which would outlaw segregation in our State National Guard units. The Powell amendment was defeated by a vote of 156-<105. This amend ment previously threatened to kill this vital defense need un til President Eisenhower appeal ed to the Congress and the na tion to put national defense above personal interests. Powell is now threatening to tie up the Housing bill with an amendment that would wipe out segregation in, not only all pub 1 lie housing, but all private hous ing financed by government loans. v Anti-Segregation Amendments Congressman Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY) has vowed to tack an inti-segregation amend ment onto the housing bill when it comes up on the House floor this week. As I stated at that time, this is one of the reasons I opposed this legsilation in the Senate. Powell is the same leg- j islator who has tied up the Re- I serve bill with an amendment i that would bar segregation in ! National Guard units. Cotton Offic* Continued The Agriculture Department has agreed to continue operating the cotton classing offic eat Charleston after indicating for several months that the office would be permanently closed. S. C. Defense Money Sought I I am urging my Senate col leagues to approve a bill which contains approximately $40,000,- 000 in military installations in South Carolina. This measure, the Military Public Works Au thorization Bill, has been approv- ' ed by the House Armed Services 1 Committee, of which Congress man Mendel Rivers is a senior member. The House is expected to act on it some time this week. The largest item it carries for South Carolina is a new 500-bed hospital to be constructed on a permanent basis at Fort Jackson. This authorization was added in the House committee by a one- vote margin after a successful fight by Congressmen Rivers and John Riley. I am also urging favorable consideration by the Senate Ap propriations Committee of an ap propriation of $250,000 or more for initial work on a dredging project for Port Royal Sound. This work was authorized in a previous Congress. Total cost would be $765,000. Satterwhites, Of Bush River Section, Develop Fine Farm Newberry, July 11 — From a one-horse farm renter 20 years ago to the owner and operator of a 1,300-acre fartn is the farm achievement record of Claude M. Satterwhite of the Bush River section of Newberry cuonty, who has been labeled one of the top farmers of his community. In recognition of this outstand ing record, Mr. Satterwhite, his wife, the former Miss Mary Kel ler Bonds of Laurens county, and their three children were re cently awarded the 1954 Balanc ed Farm Award given by the Newberry County Agricultural committee and Clemson College Extension Service. Twenty years ago the money crop on a farm hereabouts was cotton and Mr. Satterwhite re called his first three years as a renter: “I made only seven bales of cotton each of the three years as a renter and had to pay three bales rent for the farm. I de cided then I couldn’t get ahead like that,” he stated. The three years of rental farm ing in which he was getting no where financially gave him the impetus to launch out and pur chase a tract of land in 1938 con taining 52 acres which adjoined his father’s farm. It did not appear to be a particularly "good buy” since only 10 acres were cleared for cultivation, but this placed the spark of ownership in his veins. On the purchased farm Claude I found that timber was a valuable crop when properly managed. By selectively cutting the timber for pulpwood. poles and saw timber he received good returns for his labor and investment. Also the wooded tract furnished lumber for his first home, a small cottage in which he and Mrs. Satter white started housekeeping. With good luck from his first farm acquired investment the Satterwnifes bought and de veloped for fanning and timber ber production 11 tracts con taining 1.300 acres. County Agent Paul Ezell, in reviewing the achievements won, had this to say: ‘The way Mr. Satterwhite has handled his land has been one of the main fac tors in his success. As each new tract was added, he sized up the land as to its best use for row crops, pastures and timber pro- YOU G ET MORE!

Fields se lected tor crop use were cleared up, terraced, and seeded to soil improving crops.” With restrictions on cotton ac- age, Mr. Satterwhite expanded corn, small grain and forage crop production and added livestock to his farm operations. The livestock program on the farm has been enlarged as the farm feed production increased. In the early 1940’s a few dairy cows were kept and surplus milk sold as Grade C on a milk route. Ibis enterprise has now grown into a Grade A dairy of 35 milk ing cows operated with Mr. Sat- terwhite’s father. Next came the nogs to con sume the grain being produced. As more land was developed for pasture and grazing, beef cattle were added. The current farming program consists of 620 acres of land used for crops and 680 acres in man aged timber production. Of the 620 acres, 90 acres are in cotton, 15 Oacres in com, about 300 acres in small grain and grazing crops, 10 acres of alfalfa and 70 acres in highly improved permanent pasture. The Satterwhite farm has been farmed with tractor - drawn equipment since 1945. The farm equipment includes a diesel trac tor and three Farm-All tractors complete with planting and cul tivating equipment. A new eight-room modern brick home has replaced the small cottage in which the Sat terwhites began their farming career. Mr. and Mrs. Satterwhite’s three children are; Linda, Wayne, and William. Linda, 13, is in her fourth year of 4-H club work and Wayne, 10, is complet ing his first year. William is looking forward to 4-H club proj ects in about two years. County Agent Paul Ezell said, "The Satterwhite farm is an out standing example of progress that can be made through plan ning, intelligent management and the following of proven farm and home practices over a period of years.” CREDITORS' NOTICE All persons having claims against the estate of Wilson W.
