Compromise Agreed on Legislation for Foreign Trade
President Would
Have Power To
Limit Imports
Washington (U.R) The White
Hotise and key senators have
agreed on a compromise amend
ment to President Eisenhower's
foreign trade legislation. Senate
Finance Committee sources said.
These sources expressed con
fidence that the committee will
approve the compromise by a
substantial majority.
The compromise would em
power the President to limit im
ports of particular items if they
reach such volume thai an in
dustry vital to national security
Is endangered.
It was a counter proposal to
an amendment that would have
limited oil imports to 10 per
cent of domestic consumption.
One More Obstacle '
f Acceptance of the compro
- mise by the committee would
leave only one other major ob
stacle to committee approval of
the House-approved legislation.
That would be tightening the "es
cape clause" of the Reciprocal
Trade Law,
The White House agreed to a
slight tightening of the clause.
But It wasn't certain that the
White House had conceded
enough to satisfy, a majority of
- the 15-man committee.
Sen. Walter F.. George (D-Ga.)
first revealed the White House
acceptance of a compromise
amendment that would provide
for limiting imports under cer
tain conditions to protect na
tional ' defense industries. He
aid he would support it. He is
former chairman and now rank
ing Democrat on the committee.

In Dealing With The Old

...At every. age, people respond

young children and of elderly

you must treat that person much
as you would treat a child. A
woman with such a problem
writes: .

me. She is 64 'years old and

to kid her and she loves it. Then

for her own good?" '
(A) You might try a modified
form of your husband's . "kid
ding" technique andc see how
you get along with it. You must
remember, however, that your
husband is a ' man and many
older women will do things for
a man they won't do for a wom
an. Then, too, your husband is an
in-law, not your mother's child.
She has always been the one to
tell you what to do, not the re
verse. That is why she resents
your trying to "boss" her, as she
puts it. She has never been in a
position to tell your husband
what to do, consequently her
association with" him is differ-
In dealing with older people,
treat them much as you treat a
child. Try to sell them the idea
that they are the ones who
thought up the suggestion you
gave them. You must use subtle
salesmanship to win your point.
Never make an issue of what
they should not do or you will
make them, stubborn and resent
ful. Merely divert their atten
tion to what you want them to
do and paint it in such glowing
colors that they will decide it is
the very thing they most want
and will insist upon doing it.

Rare Currency on
Display at Bank;
Includes Old Pieces
Rare pieces of currency, as
sembled by William M. Cald
well, Medford, will be on dis
play in the local branch of the
First National Bank of Port
land for about two weeks. The
currency includes pieces used
in the United States during the
past.
Among the pieces are a bill
issued for the First National
Bank of Ashland, which contains
signatures of bank officials, and
a $20 gold certificate of 1886 be
longing to a collection of Sam
uel Gilbert of Medford.
"Low $2" Bill
One of the display's rarest
pieces is a "Lazy $2" named
because the two on the face is
lying down. The bill, which was
backed only by treasury bonds,
was issued for the Merchants'
National Bank of Winona, Minn.
Also in the display are frac
tional bills for 5, 10, 25 and 50
cents, postage currency, and
three bills of an educational se
ries. The $1 in. the latter is bor
dered with names important in
th country's history, and the $5
bill in the series caused a country-wide
stir because of the
nud'.ty of women on the face.
Colonial currency used in
1775-76, which was printed . by
Benjamin Franklin's firm, and
a sheet of 12 SI bills, for which
collectors pay $125 a sheet, also
are on display. "

On Penny Stocks
In Uranium Eyed
Washington 0J.R) The
Securities & Exchange Commis
sion is preparing to tighten its
regulations on sales of so-called
penny stocks in uranium ven
tures, it has been learned.
Procedures for tightening
hnve not been decided yet. One
possibility is a requirement that
the uranium . companies gives
more financial information about
themselves, and their promoters
when they offer stock for sale.
Any new regulations would
apply equally to all the small
enterprises which now enjoy cer
tain privileges of exemption
from the SEC's regular require
ments for registration of secur
ities issues. Uranium stocks,
manj of which sell for as little
as a penny a share, account for
about one-fourth of the dollar
value of stock issues covered by
special regulations.
SEC Chairman Ralph H.
Demmler sounded a warning
about uranium stocks at a news
conference at Salt Lake City,
Utah, a major center of financial
aciivity in the booming uranium
business. He indicated a current
SEC study of the situation prob
ably will result in tighter re
quirements. Demmler also
sounded a word of caution in re
cent testimony before the Sen
ate Banking Committee.
The commission has been giv
ing special attention to the
uranium securities situation for
almost a year, because of its
particularly speculative nature.
