Last year, she led a 4-H automotive hazard hunt and parts identification project. “Many people, even men, could not locate the hazardous items, such as loose lug nuts, broked windshiled wiper blades and low radiators,” she said. She was in charge of a safety check lane at the county 4-H Fair earlier this year and again checked autos for hazards. She also arranged for her club to make a local auto hazard check, with fines being unposed against those who didn’t pass. The fme money went into the 4-H Center Maintenance Fund. A* v » • Phone; 717-786-7318 Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, December 1,1979—12$ Soybean growers support duty-free ST. LOUIS, Mo - United States soybean growers are supporting a bill that would eliminate for two years an 18 percent duty on railroad hopper cars imported from Mexico and Canada. H.R. 3046, written by Representatives Fithian and Vander Jagt, was introduced recently into a House trade subcommittee. More recenlty, a similar bill was introduced by Senator Lloyd Bentsen into the Senate Finance Committee. “Because of the size of the 1979 U.S. soybean crop, coupled with a record U.S. com crop, the American Soybean Association is concerned that U.S. railroads will be unable to move U.S. soybeans to the ports in time to meet the needs of our international customers,” said ASA President Allan Aves. “Much of the lack of U.S. rail capacity can be traced directly to a shortage of hopper cars needed to move soybeans and grain to the ports.” In a letter to the bills’ strongest critic, Representative Daniel Rostenkowski, Aves said, “At the present, domestic manufacturers of rail cars are operating at full capacity, but there is still a backlog of 130,000 rail cars on order. “Even without additional orders it will take at least two years to meet the current demand for rail cars. Access to additional rail cars rail cars is vitally important to agriculture’s tran sportation needs.” Manufacturers in Canada and Mexico have the com bined capacity to ship up to 12,000 hopper and gondola cars to the U.S. over the next two years. “The current 18 percent ad valorem duty charged on such rail cars makes it uneconomical to import the Mexican and Canadian cars into the United States,” Aves said. Passage of H.R. 3046 would eliminate this in flationary and unnecessary tariff and allow domestic railroads to afford to import the needed cars from Mexico and Canada. In turn, the additional cars would help to alleviate a very serio situation in the agricultural sector,” he said. Concert from domestic rail cars manufacturers that importation of rail cars will have a serious impact on their industry and American workers is unfounded ac cording to Aves. “There is no indication that removal of the import duty would have any negative impact on U.S. manufacturers or American workers.” he said. “Since over 50 percent of the components of the im ported cars would be American-made, there is every reason to believe that a lifting of the duty would generate increased domestic manufacturing and em ployment,” he said.
