Democrats Rap
IBidtoRaiseDuty
On Swiss Watch
BY the Associated Press

An administration proposal to
stiffen import duties on Swiss
watches has run into opposition
from a number of Democratic
members of Congress.
H. Chapman Rose. assistant
secretary of the Treasury, and
Thorsten v. Kalijarvi, deputy
assistant secretary of State, en-
countered the criticism yester-
day as they asked the House
Ways and Means Committee to
close what they called a loop
hole" in the present tariff law.
AS Mr.. Rose explained it, the
duty on watch movements con-
tanning II jewels is now about
l$3.75 compared with $10.75 on
movements over II jewels. Re-
Gently, he said, the practice of
"upjeweling" adding jewels
after movements are imported
has become commercially
significant"
Existing law covers certain
types of upjeweling SO that move
ments designed for more than II
jewels could be hit with the
higher import rate even though
they contained only II jewels at
the time of import. But customs
officials now report new up
jeweling method could be used
which could avoid the higher
duty the way the law is now
worded.
Mr.. Rose and Mr.. Kalijarvi
wanted a plug in that hole.
| But Representative Keogh,
Democrat of New York. put in
the record a letter which he
said was indorsed by all but
one of II Congress members from
the New York City area.
The letter "strenuously op-
posed" the legislation on grounds
lit would have a serious effect on
importers and retailers in the
New York area and on the half
billion dollars yearly watch i'm
port business.
Representative Forand, Demo-
crat of Rhode Island, said. Il
think in all fairness this thing
should not be rushed through
| Mr.. Kalijarvi said the bill
may result in some additional
lproblems with Switzerland, al
though we do not believe that
lit would interfere with the de-
velopment Of normal trade re-
Ilations."

The experts summarized the
problems of low-income farmers
as being essentially these: low
production, small acreage, lack of
equipment, lack of adequate credit,
lack of skills and managerial train
ing, the need for good land, the
need for vocational training and
the need for more off-farm job OPP
portunities.
DR.. Dowdy pointed out that with
in the last so years the number of
Negro farmers in the South has
declined by $4,000 and their acre
age has dropped correspondingly.

On the other hand he said, the
number of white farmers in the
region has increased by 10000
and their land in farms by close
to 70 million acres.
He attributes the Negro farm
er's decline to the failure Of fed
eral and state agencies to distri-
but their assistance equitably be-
tween Negro and white farmers
on the basis of need.
Mr.. Dowdy said that only in
N. C. has the Negro farmer kept
pace. This, he thinks, is due to the
vigorous farm program being car
ried out in that state by the Ex-
tension Service and other agencies.
He pointed out that North Caro-
lima is the only state which en-
ploys Negro agricultural and
homemaking specialists.
The agricultural economist be-
lieves that similar employment of
Negro specialists in other states
would slow down the nose-dive
decline of Negro farm operators.
All the conferees agreed that more
Negro personnel should be employ
ed to service Negro farmers.
1t was brought out in discussion
that out Of 2,4G0 county supervi-
sors employed by the Farmers
Home Home Administration, a fed
eral agency, only II are colored.

farm families could get individual
attention (2) community develop
ment programs, 90 increased in
naturalization and fair employ
ment in the South, and az more
credit aid for low-income farm
families.
Mr.. Cogdell, speaking for the
Farmers Home Administration, said
the agency has loaned $293,000,-
900 to 273,000 Negro farmers since
it was established Is years ago.
Near the close of the final ses-
sion, DR.. Hecht, allayed some fears
about mechanization by pointing
out that it was going to continue
to come gradually in the South.
Some people will be hurt, he
thought, but it will not be wide
spread Also fears about employ
ment opportunities were eased by
Mr.. Levine Of the U. S. Department
of Labor, who pointed out that his
agency is extending the seasonal
employment period for many farm
workers. But he warned the group
that farm people must equip them
selves for higher skilled jobs in in
dustries. He said the presence Of
a skilled labor supply in areas of
the South is a, big factor in de-
termining where industry leaders
decide to establish factories.
