Predicts Refusal

On the agriculture issue, Mr..
Strackbein predicted that the
Common Market will refuse to
ease import restrictions, just as
the United States has refused
to import substantial quantities
OF foreign farm products.
He said it would be fruitleSs
for the United States to offer
to reduce tariffs on industrial
goods in the hope of winning
agricultural concessions from
the Common Market.
Committee Chairman Harry
F. Byrd, Democrat of Virginia,
indicated that he will propose
amendments to subordinate the
role of the State Department
in tariff negotiations and to
upgrade the influence of the
Agriculture and Commerce De-
partments.
He said American negotiators
have been influenced too much
by foreign policy considera-
tionS.
Mr.. Strackbein charged that
the administration has propa-
gandized the Nation on tariffs
and the press has suppressed
the protectionist viewpoint.
THE vast propaganda cam
paign loosed upon the public
six months ago by the Execu-
tive Branch of the Govern
ment was designed to over
whelm the elected representa-
tives of the people," he charged,
adding:
1T has succeeded up to this
point, but only because the
press enlisted eagerly as hand

seminators of the propaganda

A farm leader today de-
nounced barriers erected by
Europe's Common Market
against American agricultural
experts. but refused to indorse
the idea of lowering similar
barriers protecting Unite d
States farmers from import
competition.
Senator Douglas, Democrat
of Illinois. pointed up the
paradox in questioning Homer
L. Brinkley, executive vice
president of the National Coun-
Gil Of farmer Co-operatives. at
a hearing Of the Senate FL
nance Committee on the ad-
ministration's tariff-cutting bill.
Mr.. Brinkley testified that
the United States must bargain
hard to ease stringent import
restrictions adopted by tho
Common Market to protect
European farmers. These bar
riers, he warned, could destroy
vital markets for American
agriculture.
Senator Douglas noted that
the United States uses quotas
and other devices to hold down
imports of such commodities as
wool, wheat and beef, which
some foreign countries produce
more cheaply than American
farmers. s...s
Relax Restrictions
He asked Mr.. Brinkley
whether he would be willing to
relax these restrictions If the
Common Market agreed to
lower Its agricultural barriers.
Mr.. Brinkley refused to give
a direct answer, but advocated
using concessions on American
industrial tariffs to win con-
cessions from the Common
Market on agricultural prod
ucts. ....-.-... -.-..
Senator Douglas suggested
that farm leaders are States
men on matters that affect
others"
Mr.. Brinkley Endorsed the
principle of the administra-
tons bill, but urged its amend
ment to restore the peril
point" machinery. which the
administration proposed to
drop. Under the peril-point
system, the Tariff Commission
has recommended minimum
levels below which tariffs
should not be cut.
Emphasizes Urgency
Herschel D. Newsom, master
of the National Grange, also
emphasized the urgency of
bargaining for reduction of
Common Market barrier
against American agricultural
products.
He called the Common Mar
ket's policy on agriculture
trade notification"
Mr.. Newsom suggeS e d
amendment of the administra-
tons bill to bar tariff conces-
sions by the United States until
agreement is reached on the
agriculture issue.
He also proposed changing
the legislation to set up specific
guide lines" for American tar
If negotiators, and to give the
President added power to re-
strict imports in retaliation for
protectionist policies by other
countries.
Another witness, o. r.
Strackbein. chairman of the
Nation Wide Committee on
Import Export Policy, de-
nounced the Administrations
bill as "unilateral economic
disarmament"

Federation Backs
Fee by DC. for
Uninsured Cars

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night voted to
back a House bill that would
require the Districts uninsured
motorists to pay an additional
fee for their automobile license
tags.
The fee would go into a fund
from which persons suffering
loss or damage as a result of
the negligence Of uninsured
motorists could obtain payment
of uncollectible claims and
judgments.
In supporting the proposed
legislation, the federation noted
that between Is and 80 per cent
of the Districts motorists are
presently uninsured.
Maryland and Virginia now
have such a system.
The legislation would allow
the District Commissioners to
settle claims under certain con-
ditions and, in general, admin
lister the enforcement of the
system.
The fee proposed for unin-
sured motorists would be $40
for the first year, with a pro-
vision for an increase of 81 for
subsequent years.
In other action, the fedora
ton backed a resolution that
suggested the controversial

al be located in the proposed

Smallpox Spreads
In Germun Civ

AACHEN, Germany, March /
(AP). Twenty persons have
been stricken with smallpox in
the Aachen region, authorities
said yesterday.
Four confirmed cases also are
reported in Britain, where the
disease was believed to have
been halted after killing six
persons since Christmas.
The Aachen outbreak, largest
in Germany in several years,
was traced to a German engi-
neer who had contracted the
disease while working in Paki-
stan. British health authorities
said Britain'S cases stemmed
from a PakiStani smallpox vic
tim who reached London by
airliner in December.
Aachen officials said ia per-
sons who had been in contact
with the patients are kept in
quarantine. Barbed wire was
laid around one Aachen isola-
ton ward after visitors Sneaked
past police to talk to some of
che quarantined people.
