Washington—There is a grow
ing awareness in Washington of
the seriousness of the problems
being created by steadily in
creasing imports of a wide-range
of manufactured goods.
For several, years, I think
many people felt that only the
textile industry was being af
fected by impdrts. Many of these
same; people minimized the dam
ages being inflicted upon the
textile industry.
It did not 'take long for the
facts to show clearly that in
dustries other than textiles were
being seriously damaged. Many
plywood mills were forced to
close as a result of increasing
imports from low-wage coun
tries. We also began feeling the
effects of steel imports, automo
bile imports, and imports in
many- other industries.
The important problems have
created very serious situations in
many areas of our economy in
North Carolina. The list runs
from textiles and electronics to
dry cell batteries and commer
cial fisheries products.
Only last week, for example,
I was among a group that call
ed on Secretary of the Interior
Udall concerning the squeeze be
ing put on commercial fisheries
in Eastern North Carolina as a
result of sharp increases in im
ports of fish meal from South
America. In a relatively short
period of time fish meal im
ports have increased to the
point that they threaten to fill

nearly all of the domestic de
mand.
Whether it is in textiles or
commercial fisheries, there seems
to be no one simple answer to
all of the import problems. It
is very true that we must trade
with other nations, but it is also
true that we cannot compete
with many of the low-wage
countries of the world in com
pletely open markets.
The big question we must 'an
swer is how to regulate and con
trol the flow of imports without
causing serious damage to
friendly foreign nations. I feel
that we must formulate policies
that will enable foreign produc
ers to compete for certain per
centages of the domestic demand
of the United States. For exam
ple, if we establish a policy
which says that we are willing
to import 25 per cent of our
needs for a particular product,
this sets a system of rules un
der which both domestic pro
ducers and foreign producers
can operate, ' and at the same
time it offers flexibility to allow
for future increases in demand
Which could be shared by both
domestic and foreign producers.
In the absence of some such
control and regulation, I am
afraid that we are going to see
many American corporations do
the major part of their expand
ing in foreign countries. I am
also afraid that we might also
see 'the destruction of many of
our major industries.

Seeking Funds For
’6l Fat Stock Show
Rudolph Dale, and Robert
Bunch, Jr., representing Edenton
Jaycees, appeared at the Coun
ty Commissioners’ meeting Mon
day morning seeking financial
assistance for the annual fat
stock show and sale scheduled
to be held Wednesday, March 29.
Mr. Dale stated that the Jay
cees hope the Commissioners,
Town Council and the Chamber
of Commerce will be asked for
appropriations totalling about
SSOO to cover the expense of
the show in order to eliminate
the necessity for calling upon
the merchants to foot the bill.
The Commissioners heretofore
have appropriated SIOO and
were asked for S2OO, but with
held action until Town Council
and the Chamber of Commerce
are contacted.

NAM policy or petition.
Washington The fight to
protect the taxpayer’s dollar by
eliminating “back door” .govern
ment spending has just begun.
That is the word from advo
cates of legislation to prohibit
any government spending which
has not been approved by the
regular appropriations commit
tees of the House and the Sen
ate.
Various practices have ‘ been
developed through the years un
der which billions, of dollars
have been spent without any
review by the appropriations
committees. This is referred to,
for obvious reasons, as “back
door” spending.
'Now, a group of legislators—
spearheaded by Representative
Smith (D-Va.), chairman of the
House Rules Committee, Senator
Byrd (D-Va.), chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, Rep
resentative Cannon (D-Mo.),
chairman of the House Appropri
ations Committee, and Represen
tative Pelly (R-Wash.) —are seek
ing to stop this by-passing prac
tice.
A hearing on their proposal by
Representative Pelly was held
last week by the recently-pack
ed House Rules Committee. The
result was an eight-to-six vote
against giving House members
an opportunity to vote on the
issue.
However, advocates of the
legislation 'have other strategy
in mind to obtain a House vote.
They believe a majority of
House members are ready to
vote for the resolution—and 130
already have signed a petition
urging House approval.
In the Senate, Senator Byrd, a
leading advocate of government
economy, has introduced a reso
lution Which not only would
bring all spending authorizations
under the jurisdiction of the ap
propriation committees, but also
would require action by Con
gress on the expenditure budget
as a whole in the light of latest
revenue estimates.
Senators Allott (R-Colo.) and
Bennett (R-Utah) are co-spon-
sors.
“Congress,” Senator Byrd told
the Senate, “has lost control
over federal expenditures, and it
acts on spending legislation
without providing itself with
means of knowing whether it is
creating a deficit or surplus.”
The action of the Rules Com
mittee —bottling up the anti
“back door” spending resolution
—was made possible by the very
Liberals who had been so ve
hement in criticizing the Com
mittee —before it was packed—
for slowing up the progress of a
small amount of highly contro
versial legislation so that it
could receive adequate consider
ation.
Under intense pressure from
President Kennedy and Speaker
Rayburn, two Liberal Democrats
and a Republican recently were
added to the Rules Committee
to provide a majority for speed
ing Kennedy-backed legislation
to the House floor after approv
al by House legislative commit
tees.
The action also was intended
to assure that Kennedy-opposed
legislation would be bottled up
in the Rules Committee—despite
the bitter criticsm which had
been hurled at the Committee
for several years past by Lib
erals whose legislative proposals
failed to receive enthusiastic
support from Conservative com
mittee members.
In the vote on the “back door”
spending resolution, the two Lib
eral Democrats recently added to
the committee joined the six
Liberal Democrats already on
the committee to provide the
eight-jto-six majority against per
mitting a House vote.
Chairman Smith and Repre
sentative Colmer of Mississippi,
both Conservative Democrats,
joined four conservative Repub
licans in voting to permit a
House vote. The remaining
