POST AB YoY Roe! MRR 0 pe gin gt WV oe ke etin, |.) WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1967 WASHINGTON REPORT Congressman Edwin D. 16th District—Pennsylvania we Qur nation at this time fac- es a serious problem in the area of foreign trade. In re- cent years, importation poli- cies of the United States have created a condition of imbal- ance directly affecting our economy and placing undue burdens on our citizens. Im- mediate prospects are that the picture will get worse rather than better unless sub- stantial changes are made. The problem has arisen from a desire on the part of some government officials to aid other nations of the world by offering them fav- orable trade conditions in the United States. Tariffs have been lowered, and foreign goods have flooded our mar- kets in a wide variety of categories. Our own indus- tries are beginning to feel the undesirable effects of this policy. Our farmers have been particularly hard hit. The House General Sub- committee on Labor, on which I serve, is conducting hearings on the impact of foreign imports into this country. We are receiving testimony from a wide range of experts representing indus- trial and agricultural inter- ests. Having personally observ- ed, in our own 16th District, some of the objectionable re- sults of our government’s present policy, I am hope- ful the committee hearings will provide a basis for some general foreign trade reforms. Problems created by the present policy in the watch industry in our own area were discussed in detail in this column several weeks ago. ~The watch industry, however,."is only one examp- le. Other enterprises such as the leather goods manufac- turers, fisheries, iron and steel companies and food processors also have experi- enced difficulties in compet- ing with cheaper imported goods. Some firms have tried to meet the challenge by ac- quiring foreign subsidiaries. But such action can, in effect, export job opportunities to GRADUATION CARDS Sloan’s Pharmacy MOUNT JOY FREE PARKING IN REAR ee £22 dated iIiTTTYES 22332 import and unemployment to the United States. One of our immediate con- cerns in this unfortunate sit- other countries uation is the plight of our farmers. The farmer has be- come a pawn in the foreign relations game. In recent months, imports of agricultur- al products have reached crisis proportions. The bot- tom is out of the milk mark- et. Cattle prices are down 10 percent per hundredweight from the top prices paid to farmers in 1966; hogs, down 31% per hundredweight; chickens, down 11.5% per pound. Tobacco growers suffer because foreign tobac- co is offered at prices lower than their production costs. In the face of the agricul- tural import problem, about which the Department of Ag- riculture has done nothing significant, we now hear pro- posals for a Common Market including Latin American growers who are now furn- ishing much of the import competition. Before we em- brace such a concept, we must carefully consider what possible effects it could have in. further aggravating the present crisis. Prompt action would seem to be in order. Certain tariff rates should be raised to pro- vide immediate relief for some of the more hard-pres- sed segments of our economy. I have introduced a bill to raise cigar tobacco import rates, and legislation design- ed to protect our farmers a- gainst the flood of dairy im- ports has my support. In the industrial sector, the hearings before our Sub- committee should . provide useful information for formu- lating feasible positions in areas beyond the watch tar- iff, on which my stand alrea- dy has been defined. Any position taken will hopefully serve to promote the interests of the Ameri- can businessman and farmer over his foreign competitor. Such steps will not be the fin- al answer but are basic to resolving the serious prob- lems we face today.

Her condition seems what it was when he saw her on the previous day. She says she feels as she did, quite ill. Nonetheless, the doctor leaves feeling the patient is on the road to recovery. What clue led him to this conclusion? Simple, Watson. The stick clue. According to an article in Pennsylvania Medicine by Scranton physician Dr. Mario N. Fabi sometimes when a sick woman applies lipstick, she is on the mend as surely as spring follows winter when the first crocus pokes its head through the winter soil. “When a woman is ill,” the doctor wrote, “she usual- ly stops applying makeup. As recovery ensues, there comes a time when she again dons lipstick. This is the lipstick sign.” He further observed that sometimes the lipstick sign may precede any other indication of recovery. lip- STORE WINTER CLOTHES FOR USE NEXT YEAR Clothing that is repaired, cleaned, and stored properly during the summer, will be in good shape next fall.

For children’s clothing, it may be wise to take out hems of wool skirts, coats & dresses. You may also want to take out hems of sleeves or stitching on cuffs. Brush the garments well to remove lint and loose threads before Sending to the drycleaner. Clean clothing doesn’t attract moths like soiled clothing ‘does. Ask your drycleaner to mothproof your wool gar- garments. Store woolens - in clean, tissue-lined boxes. A layer of tissue and a gener- ous sprinkling of paradich- lorobenzene (a moth preven- tive) crystals between layers of clean clothing and at the top of the box will give add- ed protection. Seal boxes and store in a cool, dry place. You may wish to have the drycleaner store your wool garments over the summer. In the fall, mark hems of garments and hem. With a complete pressing, garments will be ready to wear. The electric utility induse- ry is undertaking a $17 mil- lion, five-year research pro- gram on under gound trans- mission of power.
