f (Sc 1) Statesman, Salens, Or. Sua, April 4 1954 fc , .1 T J Wlcliay Board to Draft IV2ineral Tariff Policy By A. ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON President Eisenhower has left to a cabinet committee headed by Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay the writing of a definitive policy on mineral tariffs, which was more or less side-steppd in the President's broad policy recommenda tions on foreign trade sent to Congress this week. Generally, Eisenhower recommended lower tariffs and an ex of the reciprocal trade i ; Another SJiot in House Gallery tension program. But his statement on mineral production left open the door to a policy by which the government would encourage development of domestic mines, including those cf southern and eastern Oregon which today are borderline opera Mions in large measure due to competition from abroad. Appetite Increases " This country is blessed with abundant mineral resources, but we must make the most of them jf we are to satisfy the ever-increasing appetite of an expand ing economy and at the same time maintain an adequate de fense posture," the president told Congress. 'We must recognize, however, that it is not possible for this na tion, or any other nation, to pro duce enough of every metal and mineral needed for modern in dustry. These materials are not evenly distributed throughout the world We have to depend upon one another. Our foreign economic policies, therefore, must encourage the relatively easv flow of these materiali in International trade," Eisenhower said. Cut Trade Barriers He said he endorsed recom mendations of a presidential com mission on trade policy which had called for increased Amer ican investment in overseas min eral development, and relaxing impediments to fnter n at i o n a 1 trade. "The commission also recom mended that domestic sources for raw materials required for military purposes should be as sured by direct means and not by tariffs and import quotas. I be lieve that normally this is sound," Eisenhower said. -However have appointed a special cabinet committee which is now survey ing the whole field of our miner als policy and have drawn their attention to these recommenda tions." Dulles Member Secretary McKay is chairman of the committee, of which Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les is also a member. Speaking of using "d i r e c t means" to assure domestic min eral sources, the president pre aumably is referring to govern ment purchase of certain miner als at a price fixed high enough to assure profitable mining. This practice is now resulting in chro mite development on a rather small scale in Oregon, also in Montana. T'lere is no tariff on imported chromite, which is found in abundance in Turkey, South Africa and other countries. A number of minerals declared trategic for military reasons are being stockpiled by the govern ment. The minerals policy worked nut by McKay is being anxious ly awaited b.. many areas of the west in which depressed mining conditions have contributed to its general economic malaise. Urban League, Employment Pact Reached ! Continued cooperation between ; the national Urban League and the Oregon State Employment Service was assured recently by an agreement setting forth equit able employment practices which , have been in effect here for many i years. ' The agreement, which formu- lates practices that have been in effect since early in the forties, i was signed by Earl R. Lovell, state Employment Service direc ; tor; James H. Baran, manager of I the Portland office of the Oregon State Employment Service: R. P. Gantenbein, president of the Portland Urban League, and E. Shelton Hill, industrial secretary-. "We are merely putting into words the long-time minority groups policy of the U.S. Employ ment Service," Lovell explained. "We always have made definite efforts in our many job-hiring re lationships to see that employe specifications are based exclus ively on job performance." The cooperative plan details several provisions applying to both agencies. Representatives of the Urban League may serve as members of advisory groups of the 26 employment offices throughout Oregon, while the same privilege in reverse is granted to employment service managers and other officials. int conferences also are a fea ture of the program. One of the first actual results of the plan is expected Sunday when specially invited Oregon State Employment representa tives are to attend the ninth meeting of the Urban League of Portland at the Benson High School.

Nor- Wad i R Ore" said Saturday he is "fairly certain" a House Fish eries Subcommittee will approve legislation to set aside some tariff revenues or fisheries research. Norblad. chairman of the sub committee which is considering the proposal, said he felt problems of the fishing industry "have been too long neglected by Congress." The proposed bill, he said, "is one of the first material efforts we have made to be cf assistance"' to the fishing industry. "No new funds whatsoever are appropriated under this proposal but rather they are derived from the fee on imports which have so damaged our once healthy bottom fishery fleet," he said. The proposal would allocate 30 per cent of import duties received from fisheries products of the Fish and Wildlife Service for research and development and market stud ies.

The shipping industry estimated that the 29-day walkout cost the port a half billion dollars and ex pressed fear some of the business diverted to other ports never will return. The National Labor Relations Board has called for a new bar gaining election in a move to stabi lize the long tempestuous water front situation, but no date has been set. Leaders of the International Longshoreme-ns Assn., independ ent, said they bowed to an NLRB edict that unless the walkout ended "forthwith," their union would be left off the ballot. The ILA called the strike in a jurisdictional dispute with the rival American Federation of Labor Un ion. It hoped to win recognition as bargaining agent before the AFL made further inroads in its efforts to control the docks. The ILA had won an NLRB elec tion with the AFL ILA but so many ballots were challenged no decision was reached. Charges mat the ILA intimidated voters brought an NLRB hearing and subsequent ly a decision invalidating the elec tion. ILA leaders berated the NLRB edict as illegal but said they had no choice except to "bow to the mandate of our government." They were under heavy pressure also from rank and file members who saw AFL men gradually tak ing over their jobs. Sparrows and the like form the largest family of birds in the world.
