Rep. Smith Reports
On NAT0 Conference

During my trip to Europe
last month to attend the NATO
Parliamentarians' Conference, /
had an opportunity to discuss
cotton problems with a number
of European businessmen and
government economists, as well
as with some of the representa-
tives of u own government
abroad.
The changes in the economy
of Europe resulting from the
entry of Great Britain into the
Common Market will not ma
terially affect American cotton
markets in Europe if the United
States adapts its trade policy to
fit the changing conditions.
Cotton has a very favorable
position among goods imported
into the present Common Mar
ket countries. Italy is the only
one of them which produces cot
tCn. op1 this proIucticn is in
significant in terms Of world
olltnut. A number of countries
4 the British Commonwealth
produce cotton in fairy large
qualities, but they are already
large exporters into Europe.
There is a great opportunity
for the United States to nego-
tiate tariff cuts on textiles,
which can lead to an increased
expert of American cotton goods
as well as duty free raw cotton.
The overall improving econo-
mic condition OF Europe should
offer continuing increases in
cotton consumption. American
cotton will share in this if a
competitive level is maintained
for our supports and export
subsidies.
One of the most significant
developments for cotton in re-
cent weeks is the campaign
which Khrushchev has initiated
70 expand cotton production in
Russia. The Communist bosses
have threatened drastic repris-
ais if increased quotas are not
met. and Khrushchev has told
farm foremen that they must
increase production or wear
"short pants all year long"
The Russian goals of in
creased cotton output are based
or more than a need for adj
ditional cotton goods for the
Russian population. Khrush-
chew obviously sees cotton as a
major weapon in his economic
war with the West. Under such
conditions it is obvious that the
United States must continue to
develop a cotton program that
will reward efficient production
and be in a position to compete
for the world market.

Vehicle inspection
Needed More Often
Says Safety Council

A year-end upsurge in traffic
fatalities has given support to
the Mississippi Safety Councils
position that motor vehicles
should be inspected twice an
nually-Instead Of once-a-year
as now provided.
And the fact that 60 per cent
Of the fatalities resulted from
one-car accidents is another in
dication that motor vehicles
should be checked more than
just once a year.
Council President Ohio Smith
Of Meridian. said both are fac
tors which should be considered
by the Legislature when It meets
in January.
The death rate dropped i'm
mediately after inspections were
made earlier this year and re-
manned hat way until around
October" President Smith said.
"Since then. there has been an
alarming increase"
Earlier this year. Mississippi
was registering a drop of more
than ITO traffic deaths, which
ha since been cut to about 90.
"a lot of the cars inspected
when the law went in effect
were marginal vehicles and
barely passed the approving
stations" Mr.. Smith said "Thev
are now showing up sub, margi-
mai, yet there is no way to
check them until the one year
period is up"
Indicative Of the sub-margi-
nal condition Of many cars, a
safety council official noted 78
with only one HEADLIGHT on a
recent trip from Jackson TO
Hattiesburg-about 90 miles.
As of December g.. Mississippi;
had recorded 491 traffic deaths
since the first of the wear. That
comnared with 581 for the same
months of 1860.
OF the 1851 total, 442 occurred
in rural areas.

MECHANICSBURG, Pa
Why Europe? Why not Amer
lea for your holiday in 1861?
So many people have seen
only the coasts Of our great
continent. So many of those
who'Ve made the trip by air
plane from the Atlantic to
the Western margins of the
United States have caught
glimpses of our great land
only through chinkS in the
cumulous clouds.
Why wouldn't the summer
of 81 be just the time to
pass up London's Charing
Gross Road, and the Champs
Elysee of Paris, the villages
of Switzerland and Scandi-
navia, the brazen sunshine
Of the Riviera and the Vene-
tian canals-and see what
America is all about?
I suggest that you try the
hairpin turns Of the Great
Smokes and that you gaze
upon the RedwoodS of Cali
fornia and the curious color
ings and formations of our
great Southwest, and that
you taste the catfish fried
in cornmeal at Union, Nebr.,
the grits and red-eye gravy
as served below the Kappa
hammock, and the irresistible
home-Style cooking at VickS-
burg, Miss.
You'll enjoy the serenity
of the Wisconsin DellS, the
vastness Of Wyoming's purple
sage, and the incommuni-
cable beauty Of the TetonS.
You'll certainly want to see
some of the uneasy ghost
towns of Colorado and
Nevada, towns that stare at
you through dust-1aden lids.
The rundown look of
Broken Bow, Okla, will seem

onS subcommittee, said Mr..
Kennedy was taking a calcu-
lated, but relatively minor. risk
when he told the United Ma
tions yesterday this country and
Great Britain are prepared to
sign Immediately a treaty to
ban testing of all kinds. The
Russians have rejected the pro-
posed treaty.
Mr.. Kennedy noted the West
also had proposed to end at
mospheric testing, without in
spection or control, "in order to
save the human race from the
poison Of radioactive fallout."
The Russians already have
fired Is atmospheric shots since
they broke the three-year mora
torium on tests. The United
States has set off two under
ground explosions.
Some fears had been eX-
pressed by administration Of
ficialS that once the Russians
had completed their series of
tests they would announce they
were ready to ban further at
moSpheric detonations and thus
force the United States to re-
ject their proposal or face the
possibility of falling behind in
nuclear weaponry.
Mr.. jackson said that while
Evening star., 1961-09-26

it will be a long time before
the results of the Russian ex-
plosions can be assessed fully,
he does not believe United
States superiority in the field
thus far has been threatened.
But if the Russians continue
these tests, we are going to have
to make similar ones," he said.
1--WE cannot check out our
weapons systems finally, and
this includes the anti-missile,
without firing them into the
atmosphere"
Senator Jackson said scien-
tific developments have made
it possible to test component
parts of weapons systems with
underground low-yield firings.
He said the information thus
gained can be used to calculate
the effectiveness Of larger-yield
explosions which can be set off
only in the atmosphere or in
space.
But in the end, he said, there
will have to be such United
States tests unless the Russians
do an about-face and agree to
a ban almost Immediately.
