Washington—Congress is pre
pared to conclude its work for
this session. Senate action on
the much-talked-about Trade
Bill, and House action on the
Farm and Foreign Aid Bills
have paved the way for adjourn
ment. As this week began, the I
Senate and House had yet to act!
on a number of conference re-1
ports and legislative bills, but
quick action could come on .most
of them. These included Sen-,
iate consideration of the Farm,
Foreign Aid, and Postal Revision- !
Employee’s Pay bills.
Trade Bill Last week the
Senate passed the Trade Bill
by a 78 to 8 vote. I voted for j
a number of amendments to the
bill which were defeated. I re
garded these provisions as ne
cessary protections for Ameri-1
can workers and industdies. On
final passage I voted for the'
bill, because I am convinced that'
trade is the lifeblood of com
merce between nations.
Under the bill the President j
receives authority to cut our
tariffs as much as; 50 percent I
over the next five years. It al- j
'lows the President to cut tariffs
further on products which the
United States and Western Eur
ope account for practically all
of the world market. It em
powers tariff negotiators to bar
gain on groups of commodities
whereas heretofore they have
bargained on an item by item
basis. The bill grants certain
loans to eligible import affected
industries, and unemployment
benefits to workers who lose
their jobs by reason of import
competition. This provision was
highly controversial because it
could prove extremely difficult
to determine when ,!fep industry
has unemployment by reason of*
imports and when the unem
ployment arises for bther rea
sons.
The success or failure of the
Trade Act of 1962 will depend,
upon how it is-administered. If (
the administrators sere- unrealis
tic in their approach, if they do
not fight for American trade
outlets, if they do not drive good
bargains for American industries,
the bill could create more prob
lems than it solves. Properly
administered the Act can help
Ametjican trade.
The Trade Act of 1962 like'
any trade bill has many limita
tions. It cannot take the
of wise tax policies, nor prudent
governmental operation within
federal budgets, nor cooperation
by labor and management to al
low American products to com
pete with foreign goods. The
attitude that develops in these
related policies certainly will af
fect American trade also in the
years to come.
Higher Education Bill On
September 20, the House voted
to recommit the Higher Educa
tion Bill to a Senate-House con
ference. This probably means
that no further action will be
taken on this bill at this session
of Congress. House debate in
dicates that the House took this
action because a substantial per
centage of its members are con
vinced that the bill violates “the
establishment of religion clause"
of the. First Amendment in that
it authorizes loans and grants to
church-owned and church-con-!
trolled institutions of higher)
learning.-
When this bill was ■ before the
Senate some months ago, I an- 1
ticipated that it would probably!

They played a 6-6 tie game with
Williamston’s Green Wave, who
were easily defeated by the
Aces 41-0 last Friday night.
However, Coaches Jerry Mc-
Gee and Billy Hardison are not
I taking too many things for
granted, so that the Aces are go
ing through stiff practice ses
sions this week in order to be
ready for an inspired group of
“Fighting Scots”.
The Aces came through Fri
day night’s game unscathed so
that, barring any injuries dur
ing practice sessions, they should
be in tip-top shape physically.
The band and cheerleaders, of
course, will also be ready for
the game in order to add color
and entertainment for the spec
tators. The game will begin
promptly at 8 o’clock and it is
hoped a large number of fans
will turn out to watch the Aces
j display their wares.
