A Test of Free Trade Intentions

some gesture to mitigate the
effects of the Common Mar
ket's agricultural policy -
which already has hit Amer
lean exports. particularly of
poultry. But the Com m o n
Markets agricultural policy
is embroiled in a long inter-
necine argument between the
Europeans themselves. When
such arguments rage, other
peoples interests often get
neglected.
So here are all the ingredi-
ents for disagreement and
delay. Yet a deadlock in
Geneva could. in the present
state of Western disarray,
have consequences far out
running those for tariffs
alone. For this reason, both
the United States and Brit
ain must do all they can to
see that technical wrecking
tactics are outflanked. And
the only real way Of doing
that is to show, clearly and
indisputably, that they mean
business t elves. If
Frances Common Market
partners see that these two
countries, but especially the
United States, really are pre-
pared to dismantle their trad
ing restrictions in a mean
ingful way, then they are I'M
likely. in the end, to let the
opportunity slip. For Amer
lea, Geneva will be a test not
for clever tactical bargain
ing - the French will beat
anyone at that-but for a
convincing demonstration of
will.

The United States and South

ROME. The Italian po-
litical crisis is in full swing
and is likely to continue for
some time. How long Prime
Minister Fanfani will be able
to remain in office is a mat
ter OF speculation but also
OF relative indifference. Who
ever takes his place is ex-
pected to follow his left Of
center views. What concerns
most observers is how soon
Italy will take a straight road
to the left and how far it
will go.
The substantial victory Of
the Communist Party and its
affiliates definitely explodes
the myth that communism
thrives only in poverty
striker countries. At no time
in Italy's 100-year history as
a united country have the
people been better off. At no
time have they been better
paid and had more social
benefits such as medical care,
old age pensions. ETC., as in
the last Is years.
There has been much talk
about the miracles of Ger
many and France. But these
countries were highly pros
porous before World War II.
Italy, however, not only re-
covered from the wounds Of
that conflict as France and
Germany have, but has
reached a degree of progress
unprecedented in all her ex-
istence.
The Christian Democratic
Party. created by the late
Alcide de Casper after the
war, was able to overcome
the inroads of the Commu-
nists who participated for a
short time after 1945 in the
government and was respon-
side for the miracle of Italy.
But a year ago last winter
Prime Minister Fanfani, with
active encouragement from
Washington, brought to Italy
the opening to the left gov
eminent. It was explained
that Fanfani must move to

International tariff confer
ences are usually dull, long
drawn-out affairs; but the
one taking place In Geneva
this month could have a dew
astating effect on the poll
cies and the prestige Of Presi-
dent Kennedy. 1t could, If
things continue to go badly,
drive a nail in the coffin Of
his projected Grand Design,
the brave formula Of the
New FrontierSmen for q new
era Of organic cooperation
in the Western Alliance In all
major fields-defense, for
eign policy, trade.
Largely thanks to the very
different ideas of Gen. de
Gaulle, the design remains
on the Washington drawing
board. 1t suffered a major
setback from the generals
open veto last January Of
Britain's entry into the Eu-
ropean Common Market-for
that veto was directed not
only against Britain itself but
against Britain as the TITO
jan horse Of the United
States" Immediately the
danger grew that the six
countries of the Common
Market might, after all, re-
treat into a restrictive, self
sufficient bloc. and so cause
a disastrous split in the At
lantic alliance as a whole.
1t was to guard against
this danger that President
Kennedy had placed such
strong emphasis on his Trade
Expansion Act. which gave
unprecedented power to an
American President to cut
tariffs on a reciprocal basis.
For, In any case. tariffs are
being reduced between the
Common Market countries
themselves. II little is done
to cut tariffs across the At
lantic as well, then American
exporters will find themselves
at an increasing disadvantage
in, for example, the French
market against their German
and other Western European
competitors.
Tariff reductions between
the countries of the free
world come In bursts. They
are, it's true, negotiated I'M
der a more or less continuous
procedure In the General
Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade. But the real progress
tends to come at intervals in
concerted rounds" and en-
actment OF the new Trade
Expansion Act brought the
prospect Of major new re-
auctions up to SO per cent,
in fact-in a Kennedy
round" The first meeting Of
trade ministers. starting May
l6. may show whether the
Kennedy round is really go
ing to get results or whether
II is to fizzle out In dispute
and disagreement.
Unhappily the first augu-
ries have not been good.
France in particular has
taken UP a tough stand, and
since the Common Market
negotiates as a unit. Frances
attitude matters a great deal.

now manages, lost record 100 games in
their first campaign. 1t has been rumored
that his harrassed, inept athletes are stung

On the contrary the Nets defend STEM

A TRAVELLER FROM OTHER CAMPS
recalled something that Fred Hutchinson
Of the Cincinnati Reds had said recently
about Joe Nuxhal, who back In 1914
pitched In major league game at age IS
but who was written off in more recent
seasons by the Reds, Athletics, Orioles and
Angels.
Nuxhall, now "a, ought TO be all fin

the season, suffered a fractured
skull and broken right wrist
when he crashed the Busch
Stadium wall and a fractured
right forearm in August when
he was hit by a pitch in a game
against the Nets.
However, Selkirk, Jack Shee-
han and Bucky Harris have
been scouting the Cards this
spring. and they've seen Minoso
in most Of the l3 games that
he has played.
He can do everything he
could do five or six years ago."
Selkirk said. Il recently saw
him against the Nets and he
had a double and triple. We've
checked him at every angle we
know.
HE should help us for a cou-
pie of years and help our farm
clubs by enabling us to keep
some of the young outfielders
in the minors, where they can
play regularly" Selkirk said.

dians and White Sox. He and
Manager Mickey Vernon both
played with the Indians in 1858.
The Senators brought a uni
form for Minoso for today's
game with the Cardinals, but
there is a chance that he will
want to finish some personal
matters. so he may rot report
until tomorrow's game with the
Orioles in Miami.
Vernon now has more maneu-
verability with his outfielders.
If Jim Piersall can shake his
slump, the outfield could con-
sist Of Minoso in left, Piersall
in center and Hinton, a better
rightfielder than leftfielder, in
right. This also would enable
Vernon to put Lock on first.
Shuffling Likely
II PierSall's knee has slowed
him up to the point that he
cannot help the club, the out
field would be Minoso-Lock-
Hinton, with Piersall. King and
Shetrone in reserve, providing
the latter shows enough to
stick. The only plus for Shet-
rome to date is his speed.
Nobody expects Minoso, who
White Sox officials say is closer
to so than 40, to play every
day. But If he could play 100
games, Piersall 100 and King
occasionally, Mickey could do
some shuffling.
If Minoso is true to his
background. he will want to
play. He is the most exciting
player on the Senator's roster.
Many observers said he was
through for good when he suf-
fered the skull and wrist frac-
lures last year. However, he has
bounced back this spring and
currently is one of the Cardi-
nails leading hitters in train
ing. He's batting .286.
In his 13 years in the ma

INACCURATE, UNTRUTHFUL'
Attorneys Attack
Butts Case Report

ATLANTA, April 3 (AP)-
Attorney General Eugene Cook
has concluded after a State in
vestigation that Wally Butts,
who for % years coached foot
ball at Georgia, divulged vital
team information to Coach
Paul Bryant of Alabama prior
to last falls game between the
two schools.
Butts at the time was athletic
director at Georgia, a post he
since has resigned.
Alabama won the game,
played September %, $50.
Cooks findings. made public
yesterday by Governor Carl E.
Sanders, stirred sharp attacks
from attorneys for Butts and
Bryant. The lawyers said
Cooks conclusions were unwar-
ranted. inaccurate and in some
instances untruthful.
In his lengthy report, Cook
conclu d e d the information
given by Butts was unethical
and improper, and unsports-
manlike. and that the furnish
ing Of such information might
well have vitality affected the
outcome Of the game in points
and margin of victory"
Cook said he found no evil
dence that "any consideration
passed. to Wally Butts either
directly or indirectly because
Of the transmital Of football
information concerning the
game"
Accusations Denied
The State investigation was
ordered more than two weeks
ago by Sanders after the Satur-
day Evening Post said Butts
and Bryant rigged the game.
Both men denied the accusa-
tions and Butts had sued the
Post for $40 million in a libel
action.
= The Governor said there
would be no further State ac-
ton since no violation Of any
criminal statute was indicated
and Butts is no longer asso-
ciated with the university.
Butts resigned as athletic di-
rector in February.

tionS and the unfortunate ef-
feet it will have on collegiate

outcome" Sanders said.
