BY ERNE SEGARS The South Carolina textile industry is in trouble and needs immediate help, according to Rep. David S. Taylor of Lau rens. Taylor is a member of a General Assembly committee assigned to study the affects of textile imports on the South Carolina textile industry. Taylor said the committee’s study showed that South Caro lina lost 7,000 textile jobs and some $24 million taxable dol lars in employees’ salaries during the past year. Rep. Taylor said that 424 textile corporations were in operation in South Carolina in 1969, employing 162,789 work ers. The textile apparel com plex paid 66.1% of the total industrial wages in South Caro lina. These figures show that the textile industry is a major force in heavy industry in the state, Rep. Taylor said. How ever, the committee’s study re vealed that textile corporations tax declarations for July 1970, as compared to July, 1969, show a decline of 76%. Taylor said, ‘At the time, other corporations’ declara tions for July, 1970, com pared to July, 1969, show an increase of 21%. The revenue picture for July, 1970, which is the first month of the new fiscal year, with the excep tion of textile corporations show an upturn in that we have a 28% increase on the same tax basis, in that no new taxes were added during the last session of the General Assembly.* The General Assembly com mittee, Rep. Taylor said, found that all of these facts reveal that “immediate action is nec essary to save this vital in dustry.* He said this can be accomp lished in two ways. One is by the passage of the Mills bill AT FT. JACKSON — Specialist four William S. Moore of Mountville, S C., recently completed his two week tour of active duty at Ft. Jackson.

This bill, proposed by Wilbur Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, would limit textile imports to the level reached in 1967-68 and would permit imports to be in creased or decreased based on domestic consumption. Taylor said, ‘It is my opinion that this bill will not pass the U. S. Congress without am- mendments. The President through the news media stated that he would veto any bills that contain other categories than textiles. Any biU that con tains only textiles cannot pass the U. S. Congress in my opinion. The necessary ma jority votes simply cannot be mustered on a strictly textile bill.* The other method to limit imports is by executive order. Taylor said the committee had an opinion from the Attorney General of South Carolina, Dan iel McCleod, that the President can, by executive order issue an order temporarily “limiting foreign imports under and by virtue of authority vested in him by the Constitution and statutes, including the Tariff Act of 1930, as ammended.* Rep. Taylor said, in conclu sion, ‘The President promised to help the textile industry in his campaign. He should do this immediately to save this vital industry.* Two other members of the General Assembley committee are members of the Laurens County Delegation and also ser ved as officers of the study group. Senator John D. Long, III, of Union is the Chairman of the Committee. Senator Ro bert C. Lake, Jr., of Whit mire is the Vice Chairman, and Rep. Taylor is the Secretary of the committee. Although Senators Long and Lake are not ^ from Laurens County, they are the Senatorial district that in cludes the county. The other members of the committee are; Senator J. C. Bonner of Cherokee, Rep. Fur man L, Fendley of Union County, Rep. T. M. Edwards of Spartanburg County, Dr. Wal lace Trevllllan of Clemson, a Governor appointee and Mr. A. J. Head of Greenville, also a Governor appointee. IS YOUR BODY A SIGHT TO BE HOED? OR IS IT LUMPY, BUMPY, BENTED DENTED, SCRATCHED, MASHED? IF SO, BRING IT TO US! WE’RE EXPERTS ON BAD BODIES!
