Irvin Mann Lauds New Beef Import Bill (Continued on page 8) House bill 1839, recently pass ed by Congress, is of "tremen dous significance" because It limits beef Imports to 6.7 of the domestic production in the United States for any year. Ir vln Mann of Stanfleld. Reoubli- can candidate for representative in the state legislature from the 2Kth district, told the Heppner Morrow County Chamber of Commerce Monday. Mann, a member of the Ore gon Beef Council, reviewed the recent history of the increase in meat imports, saying that in 1954 the imports were 1.8 of the domestic production, but thoy increased to 10.7 by 1963, and this despite the fact that the domestic production had In creased 18 per cent or three bil lion pounds. Australia made a strong ef fort to invade the market, he said. They hired analysts to sur vey world markets at a cost of $250,000 and had representatives attend all hearings of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the State Department Imports from Australia in 19t?0 were 144.684.000 lb. and in 1963 soared to 51623,000 lb., he said, i New Zealand Imports climbed from 130,723,000 lb. in 1959 to 235.690.000 lb. in 1963. The American National Cattle mens association asked for a quota based on the average of me last rive years or imports. but the State Department made a voluntary agreement on the average of the last two years or imports, or a total or 703.963. 000 lb. from Australia and New Zealand, and also provided an annual automatic 3.7 Increase, 'The beef cattle industry was not satisfied with this," Mann said. The State Department then commenced a series of "divers ionary" tactics, the speaker de clared. It started purchasing an average or some seven million pounds of boned rolled roasts per week for school lunch pro grams; it checked the retail beef industry for possible mon opoly; and it went abroad to seek new markets for meat ex ports, finding them in Italy. Germany and possibly France. Mann said that the State De partment apparently feared tnat more severe limitations o aize a general agreement on trades and tariffs, discussions on which were underway at Gen eva. Purpose of the discussions is to seek to lower the tariffs among countries of the free world. First negotiations sought to decrease the tariffs by 50 Dut sights were lowered to 30 "The belief is that if we can arrive at this, it will increase our total economy by 5, which is not an inconsiderable figure." luar.n said. 'This was the dilemma the State Department found itself in, and we dldnt know anything aoout it. Sixty Congressmen introduced a bill seeking a five-year aver age on meat imports, but when it seemed apparent that it wouldn't go this year" because of other matters pending in Congress. Sen. Mansfield found an opportunity to "tack on an amendment to HR 1839. a bill relating to imports of zoo ani mals, prohibiting beef imports from exceeding 6.7 of the es timated production for any year, as contrasted with the actual its beef imports might Jeopar- imports of 10.7 in 1963. The bill is not literally in ef fect, but has an "automatic trig gering" device. Mann explained "If the Secretary of State finds that imports will exceed the quota, he will advise the offend ing nations that he will not ac cept any more beef. It is a warn ing to the other nations with the hope that they will police themselves." He said that the President Is encouraged to police the sit uation all the time to see that no one port gets more than its share of imports. Imports to Port land in 1964 exceeded those of 1963. although imports this year were generally down. Mann credited Cong. Al Ull- man with help in passage of the bill, but Congresswoman Edith Green of Portland opposed it. Rep. Duncan and Sen. Morse voted in favor. Sen. Neuberger abstained and Cong. Norblad was absent Larry Lindsay. Morrow county campaign manager for Mann, introduced the speaker. Mrs. Peggy Mann, wife of the can didate, also was a guest of the Chamber of Commerce. I swiped on the Willow Creek 1 highway about two mlies south east of Heppner. One auto, a station wagon, was driven by the owner, Am old Raymond of Heppner, head ed towards Heppner. He was ac companied by his wife, Valerie, their five children and another boy, Kelly Green. Driver of the other auto, headed away from town, was Salvio Albisu, an em ployee of Kinzua Corporation. He was driving a 1964 Impala and it was demolished in the crash. The Raymond car sustained damage along the side estimat ed at between $300 and $400. The Green bov was given a checkup, but none of those in volved required treatment Tibbies is Admitted To Oregon State Bar Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Tibbies re ceived word recently that their son.
