Import Fees
: WASHINGTON tfl Sen. Hunt
;(DWyo) said Wednesday he was
Informed that Tariff Commission
Recommendations on wool import
lees have been submitted to the
White House.
. He told a reporter, however, he
;had no knowledge of what they
i&ay be, or when they may be acted
Jnpon by the President. ' ,
A study of the wool import situ
ation was ordered by President
Eisenhower in July. A Tariff Com
mission hearing at which Depart
ment of Agriculture officials and
representatives of the wool grow
ling and wool processing industries
testified was held several weeks
-ago.
- Commission officials declined to
comment on the report that its
Tecommenda tions have gone to the
President. One official said it is
the policy of the Commission not
to disclose information of this kind,
.' Existing import ditties on for
eign wools vary with grades, but
approximate 25Vt cents a pound,
Clean basis on finer -wools.
" At the Tariff Commission's hear
ing, . the Agriculture . Department
proposed a seven cents a pound
clean basis duty increase as a
means of helping domestic wool
growers meet foreign competition.
J. M. Jones of Salt Lake City,
Secretary of the National Wool
Growers Assn., told the Commis
sion he was "stunned" at the de
partment's recommendation. He
said a minimum increase of at
least 12 cents a pound is necessary
to protect the domestic industry.

Security Pa(pt

broadcast interview that Japan is
planning to build up its air, sea
and land forces "because we do
not wish to depend on the United
States forever." But he assured
neighboring Asian countries 'they
need not fear a resurgence of
Japanese militarism.
! Okazaki is on tour to explore- at
titudes of government leaders in
the Philippines, Indonesia and
Burma, former enemies of Japan,

Labor-Farmer
Plan Favored
DENVER W James Patton,
president of the National Farmers
Union Wednesday advocated joint
labor-farmer ownership of proces
sing and distribution systems to
bring higher prices for the farmer
and lower food costs to the con
sumer. -
' He spoke at the 23rd annual con
vention of the Oil Workers Inter
national Union (CIO).
"We are proposing a national
system of marketing and proces
sing cooperatives," Patton said.
"If we did 10 per cent of the food
processing; and distributing coop
eratively, you'd see price changes
overnight"
The ' Farmers Union president
hammered at the theme that farm
ers have an economic stake in
high employment at good wages,
and organized labor has an eco
nomic stake in a prosperous -agriculture.
' :
' He intimated that if either group,
slips economically, neither will be
"having any steak" as .the farmer
is the worker's customer and vice
versa. Mother, Son
