S19 Million Annually Enters
District Through Export Trade
Washington-More than $19
million a year enters Ore
gon's Fourth Congressional
district from the United
State's expanding export
trade. The exports are al
most equally divided between
manufactured goods and agri
cultural produce.
The estimates of the impact
of world trade on the Fourth
District appear in a recent
Export Origin Study, one of
a series of state and district
analyses prepared from vari
ous Government sources by
the U.S. Department of Com
merce. The district survey follows
distribution of the study on
Oregon, and is now being
sent out by the committee
for a National Trade Policy,
a voluntary bi-partisan or
ganization supported by busi
ness, labor, farm and con
sumer groups.
Manufactured Products
Manufactured products to
taling S9.7 million were ex
ported by nine firms in the
district in 1960. The com
panies employed almost 5,
000 workers, about 11 per
cent of all manufacturing em
ployees in the district. Their
exports were almost 10 per
cent of their total shipment
value.
District exports were doubt
less higher than indicated,
since some companies did not
respond in the survey. About
55 per cent of Oregon's manu
factured exports were report
ed. Lumber and wood products,
primary metals, and paper
and related goods ..re the dis
trict's chief exports. Among
the exporting manufacturers
are the Weyerhaeuser Com
pany's two Springfield plants,
producing lumber and wood
products; the Georgia-Pacific
Corporation, also shipping
lumber from its Springfield
and Coos Bay establishments;
Morris P. Kirk and Son, Inc.,
a Medford subsidiary of the
National Lead company; the
Crown Zellerbach Corpora
tion, with a plant at Lebanon
exporting a variety of paper
products.
Agricultural Exports
The Fourth district's 1960
agricultural exports were val
ued at $9.6 million, made up
of field crops (S6.2 million);
fruits and nuts ($1.7 million);
livestock and livestock prod
ucts ($1.2 million); and vege
tables ($480,000); Pears,
plums and prunes were the
area's leading export fruits.
According to the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture, 5 per
cent of Oregon's farm work
ers owe their jobs to exports.
Applying this proportion to
the Fourth district indicates
that nearly 900 of the area's
17,400 agricultural workers
are needed to produce the
foreign shipments . of farm
commodities.
Nationally, U.S. exports are
running at a near-record rate
of more than $20 billion a
year. About 75 per cent of
this total is in manufactured
or semi-manufactured goods,
and about $5 billion repre
sents agricultural products.
The United States exports
about half the rice, wheat and
cotton it raises; two-fifths of
the soybeans; and one-third
the tobacco.
Imports Commodities
Like every other part of
the United States, the Fourth
district imports commodities
from other countries, but
most of these are non-competitive
products used by a
wide range of U.S. industries.
Agricultural produce import
ed consists largely of coffee,
tea, spices, flavorings and the
like, not grown in the United
States.
Actually, the U. S. sells $5
billion a year more than it
buys, with about two-thirds
of the imports being non-competitive.

Tifov's Search for God During
OrbitThemeof Red Propaganda
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
The great English essayist.
G. K. Chesterton, who became
a Christian late in life, once
remarked
that he owed
his conver-
flwf-' isls' The more
v j I ne siuaiea ine
arguments by
which atheists
sought to dis
prove the ex
i s t e n c e of
God. Chester
ton said, me more he felt
that they had a pretty flimsy
case. As a result, he said,
"there arose in my mind the
first wild doubts of doubt."
Russian cosmonaut Gher
man Titov recently gave
Americans an excellent dem
onstration of what Chester
ton was talking about.
While visiting the Seattle
World's Fair, Titov got' into
a discussion of reliEion. "I
don't believe in God," he said.
That statement was not sur
prising, since Titov is a dedi
cated young Communist, and
the non-existence of God is
one of the prime articles of
Communist faith.
Then Titov added, as if
that clinched the case, that
he had looked all around for
God while he was orbiting
the earth in his space capsule,
and "I didn't find anyone
there."
Wasn't Joking
Anyone who thinks Titov
was joking should note that
Moscow Radio has been be
laboring the same point, in
great earnestness, for several
months. The fact that Soviet
cosmonauts didn't see God
during their trips through
space has become the chief
theme rjf Communist anti
relicious propaeanda.
Intrilicent Christians may
he inclined tn dismiss thi
whole arctrncnl as too lucli-rrnig-
for discussion. P it it
nuclu to be taken seriouly,
bfc.nie it sheds a good deal
of 1M on the reason why
-j disbelief iSfjo prevalent in
the world today, not only
among Communists, but also
among sincere and upright
citizens of America and other
free nations.
The reason is succinctly
stated by J. B. Phillips in his
superb book, "Your God Is
Too Small," published by the
Macmillan Co. and currently
available in a Macmillan
paperback (SI. 10).
"The trouble with many
people today is that they have
not found a god big enough
for modern needs," says
Phillips. "While their ex
perience of life has grown in
a score of directions, and their
mental horizons have been
expanded to the point of be
wilderment by world events
and by scientific discoveries,
their ideas of God have re
mained largely static. It is
obviously impossible for an
adult to worship the concep
tion of God that exists in the
mind of a child of Sunday
school age. unless he is pre
pared to deny his own ex
perience of life."
Primitive Conception
In his remarks at Seattle,
Titov made clear that his con
ception of God - and even an
atheist must have some con
ception of what he is reject
ing - is extremely primitive.
He has apparently never been
exposed to any idea of God
more adult than the picture
of a grey-bearded patriarch
sitting on a cloud in a geo
graphical heaven somewhere
in the sky.
Phillips lists a number of
somewhat more sophisticated
- but In the long run, equally
inadequate - conceptions of
God which "still linger un-

o
consciously in many minds,'
including the minds of some
professing Christians. They
range from the terrifying no
tion that God is a sort of
hanging judge who spends his
time recording human sins,
to the bleak conviction that
he is a remote "managing di
rector" of the universe who
could not possibly be con
cerned with the trivial affairs
of creatures on one insignifi
cant planet.
Cites Urgent Task
One of the most urgent
tasks of the church in our day,
Phillips believes, is to hold
up for skeptics and half-hearted
believers an authentic
Christian concept of God who
is at once the Ground of all
being, the Creator and Sus
tainer of the whole vast uni
verse which man is beginning
feebly to explore, the Author
of the incredibly complex
laws which science is seeking
dimly to understand, t h e
Source of all truth, beauty
and purpose - and who is yet,
at the same time, so close to
each of his human children,
so full of loving kindness to
ward them, even in their way
wardness, that the One who
knew Him best could think
of no human term which de
scribed H I m better than
"father."
The convinced atheist may
find this concept of God in
credible, too. But it is surely
better for men to reject - or
accept-a mature idea of God
than to argue pointlessly over
childish caricatures.

-is now being debated in Con
gress, avhere public hearings
started March 12 ofi the Ad
ministration's new Trade Ex
pansion Bill to replace the
present Trade Agreements
Act which expires June '30.
President Kennedy has
urged Congress to act without
delay to meet changing con
ditions, because the European
Common Market is crystal
izing its trade patterns now,
and the U.S. may find itself
frozen out of this vast market.
Foreign Competition ;
Since some domestic nrn. 1
duccrs may face damaging
foreign competition, a "trade
adjustment assistance" plan
has been proposed by Presi
dent Kennedy as part of the
new trade legislation, recom
mending assistance to enter
prises (industrial and farm),
and workers who suffer dam
age from increased foreign
import competition.
The President told Con
gress that "when considera
tions of national policy make
it desirable to avoid higher
tariffs, those injured by that
competition should not be re
quired to bear the full brunt
of the impact. Rather the bur
den of economic adjustment
should be borne in part by
the Federal Government."
The importance of imports
to the U.S. economy has been
s?. inctly stated by President
Kennedy: "We need imports
if other nations are to have
the money to buy our exports
and the incentive to lower
their own tariff barriers . . .
We need imports to give our
consumers a wider choice at
competitive prices. We need
imports to give our industries
and defense establishments
the raw materials they re
quire at prices they can af
ford - and to keep a healthy
nressure on our own pro
ducers and workers to im
prove efficiency, develop bet
ter products, and avoid the
inflation that could price us
out of markets vital to our
prosperity."
