70 Thursctay. O^ober 29, 1970 CoK. Bioyhiil Relates Charges On Textile Import Legislation THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD, KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. SECTION C Ad'iiresalng the Gastonia Rotarl’' au!b Ocit. 23, Tenth District Con gressman Jim Broyhill refuted charges that the textile import legislation would result in retali ation against U. S. exports as well as increased domestic prices for clothing and other tcxtiile ar ticles. Broyhill expressed hoipe that the trade bill now pending in Congress will be passed by the House of Kepresentatives by Nov ember 20 at the latest. Senate ap proval could "easily come" within a ifew days or a few weeks after House .passage, he said. Describing the textile import bill as "one of the most delicate ly balanced pieces of legislation” that has been written in some years, Broyhill said its provisions “will enable our government to exercise reasonable control over the flow of textile and apparel imports for the first time.” Discounting the possibility of a trade war which critics of the legislation have, he noted that foreign countries such as Japan buy American goods or raw ma terials only when it is cheaper or there is no other source. "It would be reckless for Japan to embark on a program of repris als since one-third of Jajpan’s ex ports come to the United States,” the North Carolina lawmaker commented. According to Representative Broyhill, any new economic retal iation actually would be dwarfed by “a kind <rf trade war” the United States has been losing to Japan for the past decade. Japan, Broyhill said, has risen to the number two industrial " Your HappyStlopping Store ■ -r'* V'.- ■'"’i 'll' / J • \ rr-kW , WASHABLE PILE “FUN FUR” DOUBLE BREASTED COATS 19.88 16.88 7-14, usually $25 4-6X, usually $22 Wrap her in a special kind of luxury!

This poses a serious problem for the United States.” Congressman Broyhill said the possibility of higher prices if the trade bill is enacttKi is a "fan tasy” since "nothing in the legis lation will drastically change ex isting ratios, a.ssuming a coojjera- tive attitude on the part of for eigners.” Pointing out that future ratios would be changed instead of pres ent ratios, he explained that do mestic industries "will -for the first time be able to plan their future with the knowledge that imports are going to be controlled and market growth shared.” The trade legislation, he said, affects an industry that employs one out of every eight persons in manufacturing in this country, some 2.4 million textile workers. Broyhill noted that fully em ployed textile - apparel workers earn about $11 billion a year, pay about $1.4 billion in personal tax(!s, buy over $2.5 billion worth of food, spend $2 billion for hous ing and more than $1 billion for transportation. 'Because of its economic impact, the legislation has -broad bi-parti san support, he stressed. "These stakes are too big to be gaimbled within a political arena,” Broyhill commented. "We simply can’t afford to gamble on such a matter of national inter est and of national concern.” Pointing to the Tenth District, he said the textile industry pro vides some 67,000 of 122,000 man ufacturing jobs with a payroll of well over $300 million. "The ccnnbination of these pay rolls and other purchases is more than just the economic backbone of this district. It is a very size able and significant part of the entire economy,” he said Citing the "human side” of the textile problem. Congressman Broyhill said all of the industry’s woikers in the Tenth District are located in non-metropolitan areas under the government’s cleissifi- cation system. “This nation doesn’t need any more migration to the cities, and the way to keep people out otf the Mr. and -Mrs. Walter G.

Wail, District 1 Director of Internal Revenue, said today that the I-RS does not "sell" name lists of federal taxpayers as described recently in several state newspaper editorials. Wall said that there is pr.->ba- bl-y some confusion over the fact that the Congress long ago ap proved a .sy.stem of tax informa tion exchange between federal and State governments. He said, federal lax information given to Slate tax authorities for cl fieial use is controlled by a strict fed eral la-w which imposes hea\y penalties for anyone divulging it to others.

This is what our textile and apparel joayrolls accomplish,” he asserted. Broyhill added that textile jobs provide the “glitewiay to a con structive life for many thousands of fine Americans” since the in dustry utilizes workers at all levels of skill. ELECT Bob F.
