TRADE

were held before the Trade In
formation Committee to select
specific items from Mr.. Her.
ter's list.
Mr.. Herter, an informant
said, will make his recommen-
dations to President Kennedy
probably within a week. Then
the President will issue a proc
lamation and 80 days later the
new tariffs will go into effect.
The United States and the
six-nation European trade bloc
submitted their chicken war to
the GAIT panel after long
negotiations. The dispute fol-
lowed an increase in July. 1862,
of nearly 300 per cent in the
Common Market tariff on i'm
ports Of frozen poultry. A
booming United States export
to West Germany was wiped
out.
The Common Market tariff
on frozen poultry was raised
last year from as cents a
pound to 13.43 cents a pound
The Common Market offered
in September to cut it l.3 cents
a pound, but the United States
rejected the offer.
The GAIT panels damage
figure was based on United
States trade with West Ger
many. which took more than
80 per cent Of the United
States poultry exports to the
Common Market before the dis
pute started. The other Com
mon Market nations are France,
Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg.
Inc panel agreed that the
United States would have had
a larger share of the German
market but for quantitative re-
strictions introduced in 1860.
But it argued that the whole
of the increase in German
poultry consumption would not
have been taken up by United
States exports.
Despite the comparatively
small amount of money in
volved, the United States Gov
eminent was seriously con-
cerned. 1t considered the poul-
try tariff a tip-off to the fu-
ture European attitude to-
ward more vital United States
farm exports.
United States officials feared
a round Of protectionist tariffs
would enSue in the Common
Market, threatening American
hopes for general tariff reduc-
tons in the Kennedy round
of GAIT negotiations next year

We are presenting the Re-

Mr.. Mann said. Il don't have
to tell you members of this
House who had opposition in
the last election that the Re-
publicans are on the march. 4"
A Republican member of the
House. Delegate Caldwell But
Ter Of Roanoke, seemed to bear
out Mr.. Mann's prediction
when he asserted:
You will hear from the Re-
publicans on this bill. You have
been warned fairly by one of
your own sect"
In the Senate, meanwhile
Senator Charles r. Fenwick of
Arlington who had sponsored
a bill to repeal the poll tax,
voted for passage Of the Gov
errors legislation.
Il had hoped we would be
able to submit to the people
the question of whether they
want to retain the poll tax. /"
Senator Fenwick said.
He explained there are two
methods Of abolishing the poll
tax: Either by calling a con-
stitutional convention or by
having two successive sessions
of the legislature passing reso-
buttons which then would be
submitted to the voters in a
referendum.
Neither of these PROPOSE
tons are before us today" SEN
ator Fenwick said. I'VE have
only these two bills of the
Governor"
They would, he explained,
provide the necessary mschin-
cry to make possible a list of
qualified voters in the event
that the Twenty Fourth
Amendment abolishes the poll
tax in Federal elections.
Sees No Alternative
I'm not happy with either
Of these two bills but we have
nothing left" Senator Fen
wick said. We're faced with a
situation where something must
be done; otherwise we'll be left
| in a vacuum
In other words, Senator Fen
wick added, there would be nc
way of checking on whether

of Virginia.
/ Senator Fenwick was among
| IA patrons of a bill to repeal
the poll tax, but that bill was
not allowed to be introduced
lu0aer the rules adopted by this
special session which opened
Tuesday.
In the House, Delegate John
c. Webb of Fairfax and Falls
Church explained why he is
opposed TO the poll tax.
There may have been g
time in Virginia when govern
ment by an aristocracy was de-
sirable," he said. IF so, that
time has long since passed."
Mr.. Webb said that he was
afraid that the effect of Gov
Harrison's poll tax substitute
legislation will be further to
stifle interest and participation
in politics.
All attempts to amend Gov,
HarriSon's legislation we're de-
feated by voice vote in both
the House and in the Senate.
One amendment, offered by
Delegate Glenn Burklund, Re-
publican of Fairfax and Falls

so that its more objec-
tionable features could be re-
moved.
They protested particularly
against the manner in which
the bill was handled in COM
as a laSt-minute sub
stitute for an even more COM
prehensive and controversial
They complained that
committee members were given
no opportunity to discuss sew
eral new provisions in the
draft shown them only a few
hours before the final COM
mittee meeting october %.
Mr.. Cramer and Mr.. Poff took
issue with the voting rights
They said it authorized
the Federal Government ito
the constitutional right /
Of States to determine voter
qualifications. They complained
that this section undertakes
to legislate in the field of voter
qualifications by abridging the
rights of the States to prescribe
literacy tests"
Without attempting to re-
capitulate all the specific OBJ
jections to the several titles of
this legislation" they conclud-
ed, this bill is inexpertly
imprecisely worded and
imperfectly oriented to the very |
problems 1t processes to solve. |
The ambiguity of its language /
creates a cloud of obscurity
which conceals its potential |
consequences. While we are I'M
prepared to say that the am
biguity is deliberate and cal
culated, it is difficult to be-
lieve that it is altogether acct .

Mr.. Kastenmeier, who had
vigorously worked for a more /

last September by a subcom-

he said it should be strength |

creation. He called the bill

tanned strong provisions Ito
deal with the single most divi-
sive force in America today, the
force of racial injustice"
Too Quick, Meader Says
Mr.. Meader, while sympathe-
tic to many provisions Of the
bill, agreed with opponents
that it was acted on too quick

particular exception to what
he called a general trend in

He also said the bill con-
tanned some strained inter-

undue expansion Of Federal

1T was only after public
pressure began to mount that
the administration stirred it
self to fashioning a civil rights
package" the West Virginia
charged. The
game Of lonemanship by the

spotlighted when the subcom-

Korean Missionary Film Will Be Shown At
 Baptist Church Sunday

This Sunday evening, as part of the regular service of the Bible Baptist Church, will be showing of the sound and color missionary film, "The Flame" It is a 50- minute gripping and most certain ly a challenging, on-the-spot, photographed motion picture.
 With scenes from the heart of Korea, it is combined with the story of an American Army officer whose family at home have only vague conception of the sorrow and suffering abroad. They are brought to see the need and meet the missionary challenge through their local church.
 This film shows the great need for live missionary vision for every Christian today. Not only for ministers, but lay1nen alike. With most of the world remember ing World Day of Prayer" to day, ''Let us VOW to to make it an every day of prayer for the spiritually and physically needy around the world," stated pastor Bob Leight.
 The Flame is produced by Great Commission Films and presented by World Vision Inc, and features Dr. Bob Pierce, war correspondent and missionary evangelist. This Sunday evening service will be- gin at 2 and all are welcome.
