Bill Offered 10 Restore
Reciprocal Trade Act
BY the kssocioted Press

Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee in
troduced bill yesterday to repeal
the Republican-enacted 1948 Tariff
Act and to restore the reciprocal
trade agreements law in substan-
TALLY its original form.
Mr.. Doughton put the tariff bill
in first place for committee con-
sideration, ahead Of taxes and social
security legislation.
Public hearings were set for
January "a and Mr.. Doughton pre-
dicted Congress will pass the trade
bill early in February. 1t would
provide for two-year extension of
the act beyond July /.
The Republican-controlled Con-
gress last year amended the old
act to stipulate that the Federal
Tariff Commission. a bipartisan
body, should rule whether any con-
templated traiff reduction would be
injurious to the American economy.
If the Tariff Commission said a
particular reduction would be dam
aging to the economy, the Presi-
dent was required to send a message
to Congress explaining why he was
putting the reduction into effect.
The Doughton bill, conforming to
recommendations by MI. Truman
would repeal this requirement that
the Administration said had ham
strung" reciprocal trade negotia-
tions, by causing long delays await
ing Tariff Commission action.
The original trade act permitted
the State Department, under the
President, to reduce American tar
ifs in pacts with countries that
agreed to bring down their trade
| barriers.
