The awarding of the automo-

that there was no doubt in the
minds of the huge crowd of peo-
pie that were on hand that this
drawing was honest. To me this
club has shown itself to be above
all suspicious in their endeavors
for future events. |, myself, am
now an admirer of the Y.M.B.C.
| know several members of the
Y.R.B.C. and l understood them
to say that they will again try
| to get the telephone company to
improve their service. One MEM
Der told me that he believes the
Y.M.B.C. was the only club in
the state who protested the rate
hike until the company had
promised them that they will
have better service. The club has
recinded its letter to-the Public
Service Commission after their
promises to better their service.
The club, I have been told, are
going to call on the company to
back up its promises. Citizens
of Moss Point and Pascagoula
should back up this organiza-
ton in their fight to have them
improve their services.
You know, Mr.. King, | could

be officially a senator of the

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov, IS .LR- Closer Canadian United States cooperation in the Polar Concept of North American de- fense was expected to come in
 for discussion today with the arrival of Air Marshal William A. Curtis. Chief of the Royal Can adian Air Force and members of his staff to visit 9th Air Force headquarters here.
 Brig. Gen. Roger Ramey, 8tl, Commander, was flying back from the 43rd Wing Base at Davis Monthan Field, Tucson, Ariz., to be here for the conference with the RCAF Chief and five Air Commo- dores on his staff.
 The special USAF plane taking the party on tour of United States air installations as guests of Gen. Carl Spaatz was expected to arrive at 6 D. m.
 Ramey ana members ol HIS SVali made a survey flight in September from the big base at Goose Bay on the Atlantic side used jointly by Canada and the United States, across northern Canadian wilderness to Anchorage Alaska.

TARIFF CUTS SLATED FOR
 JANUARY 1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-IRt- The government hoped today that wholesale tariff slashes set for January will save Americans money without arousing a storm among industries left with less protection against foreign competi- tion.
 Under terms of the Geneva trade and tariff agreement made public last night, this country will make more than $500 cuts in import duties as part of 23-nation pact affecting half the worlds com merce.
 The general effect should be to ease the burden on the consumer we hope for a substantial bene- fit" said one State Department official commenting on prospects for lower prices.
 At least one such result-a drop of 30 cents a fifth" bottle in the retail price of Scotch and Canadian whiskey-- was forecast by the Ma tional Association of Alcoholic Bev- craze Importers.
 But officials said that, in general, the effect on prices and on volume of imports will be slow to come, since few foreign countries are pro ducing enough goods to ship them overseas.
 Also, many of the thousands of foreign tariff cuts, which should widen the door for American ex- ports. will be nullified for a time by other types of control, such as exchange currency restrictions and restrictive import quotas.
 The concessions granted by oth- CT countries include.
 Fish-England cut duty and pre- ference on canned salmon by 50 percent, and made frozen salmon duty free. Australia and Czechoslo- vakia cut canned salmon substan- tially, and India reduced its 30 per cent duty on all canned fish to 20 percent.
 | Coal-Canada removed the 50 cents a ton duty on anthracite and reduced the soft coal tariff from 75 to 50 cents a ton. Brazil re- duced it's duty on bituminous coal.
 Lumber-England reduced tariffs 50 percent on some lumber items, and New Zealand eliminated half the Canadian preference on rough sawn redwood, Douglas fir and hemlock.

 A couple Of months ago, when the President started talking to Con- gressional leaders about special session of Congress, they contended that it would take month or more to organize the reports on Europe from the various Congressional Committees studying abroad
 But, in the brief interim since, an important segment of the Ameri- can people-a sample cross section of the continent from coast tc coast has gone out and shown what they thought about aid tc Europe by doing something about it. not merely talking about it.
