This was one of four bills the
President forwarded to Speaker
Rayburn to carry out recon

with proposals to. strengthen
medical training and public
health.
The President asked for the
r eduction in the duty free
allowance to help correct q
balance Of payments deficit
which has brought a flow OF
gold from the United States.
The President said the bal
ance Of payments deficit is "a
matter Of concern to US and the
whole free world" and must be
considered in order ito meet
our international responsible
ties, to efficiently conduct our
economic affairs"
500 Is Historic Figure
He said the 500 tariff ex-

of duty-free allowances dating

would return to the 500 duty

Mr.. Hodges said. There may
be some differences Of opinion
as to the best course to follow,
the exact type Of legislation
which would be most helpful,
but there can be no difference
Of opinion as TO the fact that
these areas Of persistent and
high unemployment do exist"
The Secretary said that fol
several years the Commerce
Department has had an Office
Of Area Development with O
staff Of a that has been try
ing to help depressed areas, but
it lacked any comprehensive
loan or grant program.
$500 Million Fund Set Up
The administration bill
would establish a $500 million
revolving fund for loans to
help new industries get started
in the depressed areas. It also
would make available $75 mill
lion in grants for public facili-
ties and smaller sums for eco
nomic planning and for re-
training of unemployed per-
sons.
Representative Reuss, Demo-
crat Of Wisconsin. asked Mr..
Hodges II he thought the anti
piracy provision in the bill to
prevent the transfer Of fac
tories from one community to
another is strong enough. As
written 1t would prohibit loans
for relocating a plant II the
result would be substantial

Mr.. Reuss suggested the word

Mr.. Hodges agreed the bill
should not be used to encour-
