Trade Renewal
Blocks Denied
By Committee
WASHINGTON, April ti.-VP)
The administration's request for
a three-year renewal of the re
ciprocal trade policy cleared its
first hurdle Tuesday, with the
house ways and means committee
voting down republican proposals
that congress ' assume . veto pow
ers over negotiated treaties and
otherwise restrict the admmutra
tion's authority. .
" The committee's 14-11 vote for
renewal sent the measure to the
house for consideration next
month after ' tax : problems are
cleared away. .-
One ! democrat West of - Texas,
sided with the . committee's re
publicans in ODDosins continuance
of . the program without amend
ment, The democratic majority
voted down four, amendments pre
sented by Ren. Knutson ( R-
Minn.), who said .West fled the
fight" for them. In turn, a 14 to
11 vote rejected proposals that
would:
1 1 Give congress 90 legislative
days in which to veto any foreign
trade agreement :
2 Restrict the program to two
years. - : :
3 Grant American producers
the right to appeal an agreement
to the customs courts if they could
show that trade concessions grant
ed any foreign country worked to
their disadvantage.
4 Hold tariffs to a level where
goods could not be imported at
less ; tnan cost of production in
this country.
One republican amendment by
Rep. Dewey of Illinois, was adoDt-
ed. It provides that the president
may suspend trade with any coun
try shown to be dealing with in
ternational cartels industrial and
economic monopolies. Dewey said
inese cartels had injured Ameri
can commerce. .
