tivitieS as well.
 Among industries recorded against the proposed pact with Great Brit ain were WoolenS, worsteds, shoes, rubber footwear, textile machinery, machine tools, steel and wire, hard ware, hosiery, lace, cotton textiles, furniture, clocks and watches sil- verWare, paper products and granite.
 Industries reported as favoring the agreement were apple growers, can- nerS, tires, motorcycles and few types of speciality manufacturing.
 As typical expressions from the va rious manufacturers, all of whose names were withheld by agreement, SulloWay selected these quotations:
 Wo0len Textiles
 "The wool textile industry of this country has been built up behind the protection of tariff. The aims of MT. Hull's trade expansion plans are entirely laudable, but if tariffs must be adjusted, it is only decent and fair to make such adjustments small and gradual, that the serious difficulties which will certainly en- sue may be worked out with the least possible suffering"
 Cotton Textiles
 "The northern cotton textile wage scale is the highest ill the world. This prevents our products from finding an outlet in the export mar ket. The domestic market will only consume so much of our cotton products each year. Consequently, any foreign goods coming in auto matically replace goods of domestic manufacture and foreign workers, in effect, take jobs from American workers. Under the most favored nation clause, any reduction in tariff to the United Kingdom would en- able Switzerland to further increase it's exports to this country"
 Steel Tools
 "The United Kingdom is an in- significant source of supply for the importation of this merchandise into the United States. Over 98 per cent came from Sweden and Japan. Any concession to the United Kingdom will automatically extend to Sweden and, Japan without offsetting trade advantages having been secured"
 Our position is that every shoe imported replaces an American made product that would otherwise have been made by American work CTS at American wage levels" Clocks, Watches
 "Watches were on the agenda for the negotiations with Switzerland. Our pleas were unavailing and the tariff was reduced 50 per cent on certain classifications of watches. We feel that the importations which have materially increased have definitely affected our wrist-watch business, which at this time is prac- tically stagnantt.

it will take eight years to finish

For weeks she had planned the

her chance.
SHOT IN BACK
AS her father, Steve, SO, ate

by shooting at tin cans, she sent
a bullet squarely through her

Irene said she had kept the

night her mother overheard it as
she talked in her sleep. When her

and threatened to kill them both.
