Legislation
For Subsidy
Seems Dead
BY DON BACON
Star staff Writer

The apparent demise Of cot
ton legislation for this year
could leave permanent scars
on the American cotton textile
industry, observers fear.
The industry has been in
trouble for several years, los
ing markets to lower-cost
foreign imports and a growing
array Of test-tube fabrics
such as nylon, rayon and
Dacron.
Early this year, President
Kennedy yielded to industry
demands and called for Feder-
al assistance legislation. The
industry's various segments-
grower, ginner. miller and mar
keters-have been unable to
agree, however, on what form
Of assistance they want.
This week the House Agri-
culture Committee all but
killed a proposal for compro-
mise legislation that would have
provided a subsidy to help the
textile mills, authority for
planters to grow some export
cotton in addition to their
regular allotments, a research
program to seek lower cost
production methods, and GER
tain special benefits for small
farmers.
