Rep. Paul Kitehin
Authors 7 Bills To
Aid Textile Industry

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Two
measures which would give statu-
tory protection to the U. S. cotton
textile industry against a flood OF
cheaper cotton products of foreign
manufacture have been introduced
by Congressman A. Paul Kitchin
(D.-N.C).
In offering the two bills, the
North Carolinian pointed to the
''shockingly unexpected" decisions
of the U. S. Tariff Commission in
which it ruled by a 80 vote a
gainSt an equalization fee for cot
ton imports.
Protection for our basic textile
industry and the jobs of those who
work in it is an absolute essential
if our cotton manufacturers are
to survive and continue to en-
ploy the thousands dependent
upon it." Rep. Kitchin told the
House. "They cannot compete with
foreign products made from raw
American cotton bought far un-
der the U. S. subsidized price and
manufactured with cheaper labor
and lower taxes"
One of Kitchin'S bills would re-
strict the import of foreign tex
tiles containing cotton to the a.
mount imported into this country
in 1961-the base year used for
the short term Geneva Agreement
among textile producing nations.
The other measure would equalize
the competitive positions of for
eign and domestic cotton goods by
imposing an import duty of 81ac a
pound on finished foreign prod
uctS.
Kitchin warned that unless a
new long term Geneva agreement
is reached, a flood of cheaply pro-
duced textiles will have a devast-
ing effect on the American mar
ket. Failure to enact protective
legislation would be to deny the
textile industry the element of
stability essential to growth and
and modernization, Kitchin de-
clared.

COP Chairman
Answers Bennett
Jibes At Jonas

CHARLOTTE : 81 was sur
prised to learn that Mr.. Bert Ben
nett, State Democratic Party
Chairman, is unaware of any con-
tributions that Congressman Jonas
has made to the state and his dis
trict." Il believe he said, If you
give me about a week / might
think of something in reply to a
question about Jonas contribu-
lions.
"Now, l realize that Mr.. Ben
nett has been pretty busy, but I
would think he and Gov. Sanford
would talk to each other at least
occasionally.
while Mr.. Bennett is in Char
lotte saying he doesn't remember
anything Congressman Jonas has
done, Gov. Sanford is in Raleigh
at press conference backing Jo-
mas in the Congressman's efforts
to locate the $40 million federal
environmental health center in
North Carolina, and praising him
for his help.
"Said the Governor, This doesn't
involve politics, it's for the good
of the state
"Mr. Bennett might ask the L.
900 employees at the Arrowood
Industrial Development in Char
lotte what Mr.. Jonas has done for
his district. Mr.. Jonas is respon-
slble for getting the former Navy
shell plant released for industrial
expansion at Arrowood. Mr.. Ben
nett might also ask Eastern Air
lines employees here the same
thing. Mr.. Jonas was also instru-
mental in getting Eastern Airlines
back in the air after a costly strike
this summer.
Since Mr.. Bennett has been State
Democratic Chairman for less than
two years, maybe it's not surpris.
ing that he is unfamiliar with all
Congressman Jonas has done in
the last 10 years"

What Will
The New Cars Of
b3 Look Like?

CHARLOTTE = The 1868 cars
will soon be out but the big ques-
tion is still to be answered: What
will they look like this year?
The answer is being carefully
hidden in the confines of Detroit
until the new models are unveiled
but famous car builder Bob
Osiecki, who is heading the
Osiecki Auto Show, Oct. 12-14, in
the Charlotte Coliseum, is one of
the chosen few who has already
seen just about every 1868 model
already.
Il think the general public will
be quite excited this year." Osiecki
said. "There's some big changes in
the new models and there's some
models with only slight changes.
. The biggest difference, l think,
. are the great engineering advances
made in Detroit over the past year
which will show up on the '63
models"
The Osiecki Auto Show will be
the public's first chance to see
all the 1868 cars displayed in one
setting. The public will have an
opportunity to compare each of
I. the new makes.
Osiecki, however, emphasized
that there's more than the new
. cars to be seen at the show. The
latest futuristic models, custom
cars, racing machines, hot rods
and antiques will also be dis
played.

katanga President Tshombe
Backs Congo Federation

Leopoldville, Congo.-Katan-
ga President Tshombe held out
for a Congo confederation that
will give his rich province a
measure of independence de-
spite the Kitona unity pact.
Six Katanga legislators flew
here Wednesday from Elisa
bethville but leaders of the
Central Congo Government con-
tended the terms Mr.. Tschombe
put on their mission were at
sharp variance with the agree
ment he reached a week ago
with Songo Premier Cyrille
Adoula.
Mr.. Tshombe said in Elisa
bethville that the delegates
were sent to bargain fer a
change in the fundamental law
(the Congo provisional consti-
tution), which provides for a
strong central government, and
not to sit in the national Par
lament.
"Our Katanga constitution
is the basis of the coming
Leopoldville talks" Mr.. Tshom-
be declared. "It foresees inte-
grafton in a federation or a

confederation of the Congo. We
still insist on a confederation"
Just before leaving Elisabeth
vile, a spokesman for the Ka-
tanga deputies said: "We are
going to Leopoldville to have
that ridiculous fundamental law
ch..nged."
George Ivan Smith, senior
UN representative in Katanga,
said the Katanga Provincial AS
sembly will meet in Elisabeth
vile Jan 8 to debate the Kitona
declaration.
President T h mbe has
asked us (the UN) to provide
guarantees fer the delegates
during the meeting and also
safe-conduct privileges as they
travel to Elisabethville for the
session." Mr.. Smith said.
Diplomats in this central cap
ital expressed satisfaction with
the arrangements. They said
without such protection Baluba

Mr.. Tshombe recognized the

The Constitution, drafted by
