Congrau Dow Woll
In my final report to the peo
ple until the Congress recon
venes next January, I would like
to discuss my appraisal of the
first session of the 84th Con
gress. * '
I think the first session has
produced much constructive leg
islation. As a freshman senator,
I realize that I may not be as
kood a judge of the actions of
Congress as veteran members,
but I feel sure most of them will
agree with my statement that
this session has been a good one.
I certainly will not say, how
ever, that I have been pleased by
every action of this session, al
though I have been pleased by
most of them.
Mail Heaviest On Trade Bill
When the senate adjourned, it
had acted on more than 1,300
bills and resolutions. The one
of most interest to South Caro
linians—according to the more
than 10,000 letters I received on
this one subject—was HR Ofle,
better known as the trade bill.
Our textile employees and em
ployers were vitally concerned
over the lack of protection af
forded the textile industry
against low tariff rates on foreign
textiles in the original bill.
I am glad to report that 17 of
us Senators from textile areas
were able to get protection writ
ten into the new trade bill. Once
this was done, the bill was then
overwhelmingly passed by the
Congress.
Shortly after the new law was
approved, the State Department
announced drastic tariff reduc-
< tions negotiated at the GATT
* conference in Geneva under the
There is another bill now
pending before the Agriculture
Committee which would impose
import quotas on foreign tex
tiles and at the same time en
courage the sale of surplus cot
ton for export. Senator Eastland
and I, on behalf of ourselves and
60 colleagues, introduced this
bill. It is scheduled for open
hearings some time this fall.
No Party Legislation
One of the drawbacks of the
last session was its failure to en
act term legislation to restore 90
per cent price supports and a cot
ton allotment guarantee for our
small farmers. Both of these
bills, however, are scheduled for
early—and I hope—favorable ac
tion next year.
The congress did, however,
pass numerous bills that should
greatly benefit our termers in
South Carolina and elsewhere.
Bi-Partisan Support High
One of the highlights of the
session was the strong bi-parti
san support given the President
in his foreign policy. By an al
most unaninmous vote, the Sen
ate backed the President on his
Formosan policy by voting pas
sage of the Formosa Resolution.
Then, again, when the President
went to the Big Four Conference
he was given strong support by
members on both sides of the
aisle. According to all reports
available at this time, he seems
to have done a fine job thdre Vn
laying the groundwork for easing
world tensions and for establish
ing a true—and we hope—a last
ing peace. I am sure his support
at home helped considerably.
I must also commend the con-
Styte influences from around the world are the new fashions shown
at the summer furniture markets.
Shown above is the simplicity of Danish styling. This grouping Is
one of the most versatile eoUectieos of living, dining and bedroom
furniture.
Not only are these units Interchangeable from room to room, but
within s room, and with each other. They bring an unusual and pleasant
architectural aspect to our homes. For this custom look, base pieces
art individual units, separate from cabinets and drawer chests, creat
ing s free scaling variation about the room. The base units may also be
used ss benches or coffee tables. Note the extra storage space in the
three drawers of the bass units.
The wood is walnut, finished to have s hand-rubbed sheen, which
allows the full beauty of the wood to show through—an increasing
trend in sew furniture styles.
Sliding drawers is the chests are reversible—one aide is s walnut
finish, and the other side is s dramatic black panelyte.
New fashion touches are the louvred drawer fronts on earn pieces,
and tie tamboured cabinet for either Television or Hi-Fi.
S old law, which afforded little, if| gress for bolstering our defense
needs by providing for a strong
reserve force. This has been one
of our country's greatest needs
for years. This bill should make
it possible for our country to re
main strong both militarily and
economically since several re
servists can be maintained for
any, protection. I then introduc
ed a resolution designed to head
off these cuts. It was passed by
the Senate, with 48 senators join
ing as co-sponsors.

Against Aid and Public Housing
Two major pieces of legislation
were passed by the Congress
that did not meet with my ap
proval. They were the housing^
and foreign aid bills. I believe^
private enterprise is doing the
housing job necessary. Thus I
regret that the position of the
house against public housing was
not sustained in free conference.
I also believe that we should
be cutting back on foreign aid
expenditures now instead of ex
panding this costly program
which has already cost us $57
billion — all of which we have
had to borrow. If we are ever
goiqg to reduce taxes and bal
ance the budget, then we must
begin tapering off op our foreign
spending program. I am no(
•gainst a reasonable foreign aid
program, but I do not believe we
can do the necessary job with a
great reduction in expenditures.
That is why I voted against
both of these bills.
Automation

Our subject is a new word now
coming into common use. It is
typical of our new age. It means
the substitution of electronic de
vices for manual labor, the re
placement of men by machines.
Some fear that this trend in
modern industry will create
graver unemployment problems.
That has not proven to be the
case. For example, within the
past ten years machines have
been radically improved to in
crease accuracy, efficieicy and
production. Yet the number of
office workers in this same pe
riod has increased from five to
eight million.
A man was watching a giant
excavator on a building project
He saw the huge steam shovel 1
removing tons of dirt in an in
credibly short time. Indignantly
he said, “It is a shame to see so
many men thrown out of work
by that machine. Just think how
many men with shovels could be
employed.’’ A bystander remark-]
ed in amusement, “I can go you
one better. Just give every man
a teaspoon and you really could
hire a big crowd.”
There is much more machin
ery in operation today than there
was ten years ago, but there are
also more people at work. The
human brain may evolve new |
mechanical marvels but the hu
man hand will always be needed
to operate them. • The statistic
ians tell us that without the
progress of automation we would
not be able to manufacture the
products we need in this mod
ern era and we would not have
enough workers.
The machine is bringing thk
American worker greater pros
perity with more leisure to de
vote to self-improvement and
recreation. Working conditions i
and pay have never been better
than they are today. Automation
is raising our standards of living.
Agriculture Hearings
In Columbia Nov. 14
On Price Supports
United States Senate agriculture
committee hearings on farm price
support policies and problems
will be held in Columbia Novem
ber 14, Senator Olin D. Johnston
announced today.
Senator Johnston, who will pre
side over the hearing in Colum
bia, said further details on the
hearing will be announced at a
later date.
“I firmly believe the farmers of
South Carolina want rigid 9<f per
cent of parity price support. 1 urge
that the farmers of South Carolina
plan to attend this hearing in Co
lumbia in order that the members
of the committee will be fully in
formed on what the farmers of
South Carolina want.
“A bill to provide 90 per cent
supports was introduced by me
this year and the House passed a
similar bill providing 90 per cent
of parity this year. Both measures
are in the committee.
“After these hearings, I feel cer
tain the committee will agree that
the farmers of South Carolina and
the nation desire rigid 90 per cent
supports for their basic commodi
ties,” Johnston concluded.
