'Congress Adopts Trade Bill
-A» Amended
The Congress ^ias now given
■final approval to HR 1, better
know as the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements bill, as amended in
■the Senate. I am glad the bill has
been approved because it affords
a measure of protection badly
needed by the cotton textile and
other industries. Under the old
law, this protection was lacking.
In addition, it gives greater as-
snrance that our farmers will not
suffer from the loss of foreign
markets which now consume much
of our farm surpluses.
Passage of this bill takes from
■the President authority to cut tar-
riffs already reduced by the GATT
Conference at Geneva, in instan-
■ces where reductions were more
than 15 per cent. Under the old
law and under HR 1 as originally
approved by the House, there was
•virtually no protection against
tariff reductions. Authority under
the old law resulted in the recent
drastip cuts in tariff rates on a
number of basic textile products
such as print cloths, broadcloths,
poplins, oxfords, twills, etc., by
as high as 37 to 48 per cent of
the present tariff rate. A spokes
man for the textile industry has
stab 4 that these cuts represent
■“more than the current profit
margin of the industry from the
production of standard goods.”
"Protection Against Future Cuts
I am astounded that State De
partment negotiators would agree
to such*, severe reductions in tex
tile products. The possibility of
lust such action caused me to
urge amendments to HR 1 for the
purpose of providing more ade
quate protection against future
cuts. The amendments I advocat
ed were adopted and they do pre
vent any further tariff cuts for
■three years on the times which
were cut more than 15 percent
at Geneva under the old law. It
is my hope that future negotia
tions affecting our industries will
be conducted on a more realistic
basis. I reiterate that the Geneva
<cuts were made under the old
law, thus I am very pleased that
my amendments have been in
corporated in the new law to
•provide adequate protection to
our textile employees and plants.
Austrian Treaty Ratified.
By a vote of 63-3, the Senate
has ratified the Austrian treaty. I
votfed for the ratification. In a
speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, last
week, however, I pointed out that
our treaty with Germany was the
probable cause of Russia’s will
ingness to sign an Austrian treaty.
Previously, Russia resisted for
nearly ten years all efforts of the
United States and the UN to end
the occupation of Austria by con
clusion of a peace treaty. Again
the evident purpose of her sudden
agreement was to create a neutral
etate and prevent our making a
separate treaty with Austria.
•Commerce Appropriations Passed
The Senate also approved the
Commerce Appropriations bill this
week after prolonged debate on
several amendments calling for
additional expenditures..
I co-sponsored one amendment
which won approval. It provided
for an additional $2,500,000 to
squip a number of our weather
stations along the coasts with
modern long range radar equip
ment to help track down hurri-
•canes and tornadoes. There is a
strong possibility Charleston will
receive this new equipment and
that the part-time weather sta
tion at Florence may be operated
24 hours a day because of this
additional appropriation. In addi
tion, new runway equipment to
chebk cloud height and visibility
may be installed at Columbia,
Creenville, and Spartanburg air-
Voted For Cuts of $53 Million.
Although I voted to increase the
bill by $2,500,000, I also voted to
trim it by another 53,000,000. It
is my belief that when we can
spend a few million to save many
millions of dollars in property
damages—not to mention the loss
•of lives—then that is sound econ
omy. That is why I co-sponsored
the hurricane warning amend
ment.
However, I voted to strike $15,-
000,000 from the bill in increased
airline subsidies and another $38,-
•000,000 in Maritime subsidies.
Both economy amendments to
to discuss the fate of the world.
Much attention will be focused on
the Big Four meeting at Geneva.
Peace-loving peoples all over the
Congressmen Mendel Rivers is a
world will be hoping that agree
ment will be reached which will
pave the way for many years of
world peace and prosperity.
As we await these talks, how
ever, we must remember the
fruits of past experience. We must
not be lulled into a false sense of
security by tue release of addi
tional American prisoners from
Red China. We owe no gratitude
to the Communists for this ac
tion.
Should Demand Good Faith
In view of our past experiences
with Russia—ip which we have
seen practically every agreement
broken—I hope our- President de
mands concrete evidence of good
faith at Geneva. In addition, we
must not make any concessions
that would violate any agreements
to which we are a party. Wemust
not consent to any agreements
which have the possibility of be
ing labeled as appeasement . We
should not consider the admission
of Red China to the UN. We must
exercise the utmost care in deal
ing with the Russians on the sub
ject of atomic energy.
Finally, it is my conviction—
as I have previously stated—that
we should insist that the meeting
of the Big Four be open to rep
resentatives of all news media.
Then the Soviet strategy of pro
paganda would be defeated be
cause they would be unable to
misrepresent the events of the
conference if all the world knew
the details. As the Big Four dis
cuss the fate of the nations, the
nations have a right to know what
is said.
Anti-Segregation Amendments
Congressman 1 Adam C 1 a yt on
Powell has vowed to tack an anti
segregation amendment onto the
housing bill when it comes up on
the House floor this week. As I
stated at tha$ time, this is one of
the reasons I opposed this legisla
tion in the Senate. Powell is the
same legislator who has tied up
the Reserve bill with an amend
ment that would bar segregation
in National guard units.
Cotton Office Continued
The Agriculture department has
agreed to continue operating the
cotton classing office at Charles
ton after indicating for several
months that the office would be
permanently closed.
S. C. Defense Money Sought.
I am urging my Senate collea
gues to approve a bill which con
tains approximately $40,000,000 in
military construction authoriza
tions for a number of our military
installations in South Carolina.
A great new turn has come to
the sport of outboarding. It has
come almost unrecognized, even
by the industry. The young boys
of America, from eight years on
up, are taking to driving out
boards the way they have to bicy
cles.
These boys aren’t speed de
mons. It’s fishing motors they’re
running—5 hp is the popular av
erage. And they can handle them!
They not only run them, but buy
and mix the gas, care for them,
lift them, and are even learning
to work on them.
Three new developments have
made outboard driving by young
boys practical and sensible. First,
the modern kapok life-vest. Next,
today’s motors start easily. Fin
ally, eight years is a lot older
than it was back when outboards
were cast-iron and smoky. The
post-war kid learned the elements
of steering in his baby stroller;
he played with mechanical action
toys, take-aparts and put-togeth-
ers.
The question ofbpn comes up,
what size motor siould a boy
have* for his first? Small motor
for small boy is the obvious ans
wer, suggests Willard Crandall,
boating editor of Sports Afield
magazine. Of course, the motor
McMorris Returns
After Sea Duty
ALAMEDA, Calif., June 22—
Roosevelt McMorris, seaman,
USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam McMorris of 217 Caldwell
street, Newberry, is scheduled to
arrive at the Naval Air Station
here today aboard the attack
aircraft carrier USS Essex.
The Essex has completed &
seven and one-half month cruise
in Far Eastern waters, steaming
over 56,500 miles since leaving
the West Coast last November.
Ports of call for the Essex crew
were Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; Yoko
suka and Sasebo, Japan; Manila
and Subic Bay, Philippines; Bang
kok, Thailand; and the British
Crown Colony of Hong Kong.
The Essex will move on to her
home port of San Diego after a
brief stop here.
This measure, the Military Pub
lic Works Authorization Bill, has
been approved by the House Arm
ed Services Committee, of which
senior member. The House is ex
pected to act on it sometime 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 Congressman Rivers and
John Riley.
I am also urging favorable con
sideration by the Senate Appro
priations committee of an appro
priation of $250,000 or more for
initial work on a dredging prdgect
for Port Royal Sound. This work
was authorized in a previous con
gress. Total cost would be $765,-
000.
must always fit the boat, but get
your boy a motor in a size he can
handle by himself.
Incidentally, what to do on
land—how to care for and etore
the motor, instructions in work
ing on it—shouldn’t start, until
he’s mastered all his operating
lessons afloat. If you do begin
such lessons too soon, especially
if he is mechanically minded you
will dilute his interest and atten
tion away from the much more
important boat handling and
driving.
By tile time he's 13 a boy's
ideas about outboard driving are
pretty well set and you may have
a difficult time melting them
down. Your chance to do the real J
molding—-instilling boating funda
mentals—is much earlier. .
There’s another reason for
starting them young at outboards.
In less than 15 years the boy now
eight may be driving a truck, a
jet plane, or anything between.
Certainly he’ll be driving a car.
Piloting an outboard now, he
learns to judge distance while in
motion, exact steering wheel and
throttle response, and much else,
and does it during those impor
tant learning years of eight to
15.
