In late September 1962, the United States reached a turning point in its life as a nation. It came to the historic decision to take a giant step toward a commercial-financial partnership with a united European Community and re jected a giant step backward toward economic isolationism and thus the status of second-rate economic power. This is the fundamental significance of the fact that the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 is now home safe, through Congress in virtually the form it was submitted by the White House In January. Under this bill. President Kennedy will have the most sweeping powers ever held by a U.S. President to smash the tariff walls which protect U.S. industries from foreign competition in return for similar concessions by foreigners to us. As dramatic illustration, he'll be able during a five year period to negotiate the complete elimination of tariffs on all categories of goods In which the U.S. and the European Common Market control 80 per cent or more of the free world's trade including products ranging from air craft and autos to cosmetics and glassware. He'll be able to cut tariffs by 50 per cent on other broad categories of goods to the lowest levels in modern times. While he'll alio ba abla to raise tariffs by as much as 700 par cant and slap on import quotas if there is overwhelming evidence of great injury to our industries, the whole emphasis of the bill is away from the tradi tional protectionism of the U.S. Rather. Congress has ac cepted the revolutionary concept of helping Americans hurl by a rising tide of Imports to "adjust" to the competition. Instead of being protected by tariffs and Import quotas, businessmen will get tax relief, loans, assistance in reorganising their plants to produce com petitive goods. Workers who lose their jobs because of Imports will get retraining for other jobs and cash payments of up to S61 a week for as long as 78 weeks. There is no question that this is an historic piece of legislation, setting the U.S. and Europe on paths we've never traveled together before. Here are Just four of the ex hilarating implications: (1) By this bill Congress has said to U.S. industry, labor, agriculture, "Go ahead, compete in the booming world mar kets as you've never competed before. We've given the President the power to help you compete by letting him bargain down our tariff walls if the booming Common Mar ket nations bargain down theirs against us. We're not afraid of U.S. Industry's ability to compete with lower-wage na tions, nor do we shrink from involving ourselves in a trade partnership with the world's toughest competitors and most industrialized nations." This is equivalent to a rousing vote of confidence in U.S. industry's courage, skills and aggressiveness, a stimulating thing in itself. (2) Congress has told our protectionist forces that their day Is past. Until the very end last week, protectionists were fighting hard to emasculate the bill in the Senate but on amendment after amendment they were defeated. What Congress agreed was that the national interest overrides local interests and that the way to offset damage to local Interests by Imports is through the adjustment process. Un less U.S. industry is so badly trounced by competition that e dare not let down our barriers, the era of trade wans between us and Europe is dead. (3) Congress has accepted the startling notion, whether or not it says so out loud, that it is right for the U.S. and a united Europe to move Into a single low and free trade area and from there into an era of unprecedented unity as well as competitiveness. Even a dull imagination can foresee how mutual bargaining, concessions and agreements in the economic-financial-trade spheres will lead into mutual bargain ing, concessions and agreements in the political-social-diplomatic spheres. The Atlantic partnership exists. The ground work is firmly laid for a new interdependence between the two most powerful entities on the globe the free United Slates and the free United Europe. (4) Finally, Congress well may have done more through this bill to help win the Cold War than by almost any other action in recent years. The United States and a United Eu rope working together as equals and rivals will have an awesome strength, far beyond that of the Soviet Union's. Russia knows this, fears this, is trying as a result to create a "Common Market" of the Soviet satellites and the Soviet Union. This only shows how much she is now on the de fensive. The turning point came in lale September 1962 and Congress turned the U.S. the right way. It is the crowning achievement of this session. Two Persons Hurt In Auto Accidents Tvun nnrmi rprrived slllfhl Iniurtes in snnarate atltn ac cidents recently, according to Medford city police.

UP TO 30 YfAfiS ON VA OR fHA LOANSl FIRST NATIONAL BANK Of OREGON Mv"Fk rot oven eoo.ooo ooon piopiat Beauty Pageant Highlights Given During Rountable Something her mother used to tell her when she was a little girl stood Marty Wyatt, Miss Oregon of 1962, in good stead in the Atlantic City Miss America Pageant. In a talk to the Chamber of Commerce Round table Monday noon, Misa Wyatt re called that when she went before the judges for a three minute personal interview, Arlene Dahl, the titian-haired movie star, asked her to de fine what a beautiful woman was. Miss Oregon said her an swer was based in part' on the advice that her mother had given her all through her girlhood: "Beauty la as beau ty does." A girl is only pretty when she is beautiful on the in side," Marty said she told Miss Dahl. Glowing Comiranls In an experience crowded with memorable and happy events and occurrances. Miss Wyatt had glowing comments to make about everything ex cept the tempo the orchestra Tokyo - (UPD - Communist China has appointed Liu Chien as its first ambassador to the coalition government of Laos, the Communist New China News Agency has re ported.

The first part of the dance is supposed to be slow, she said, and then the pace is sup posed to step up suddenly. Wednesday night, when the change in tempo came, the orchestral leader played too California Credits Use of Fluorides Sacramento -fUPD- The State Public Health department has announced new evidence which it says proves that flu oridation of a community's water supply reduces tooth decay. The department said chil dren in the Butte county com munity of Gridley have "38 per cent fewer cavities after only eight years of controlled fluoridation." One-third of the children have no decay at all In perma nent teeth. Eight years ago, only 10 per cent of the chil dren had no decay. In addi tion, 76 per cent needed imme diate dental care five years ago, while now only 35 per cent need it, the department said. "Another benefit not shown in these figures is the thou sands of dollars saved in den tal bills and the thousands that will be saved in the fu ture of the community," the department said in its monthly report to Gov. Edmund G. Brown. fast, and she had to work hard just to keep up with him, she said. So prior to her television appearance Saturday night atler she was named to the top 10, Marty said she ap proached the conductor and asked him if he could slow the second part down a little. The man obliged if any thing too conscientiously, and the pace was slowed so much that she was unable to give her dance the verve and zip it was supposed to have, Marty said. Boardwalk Parade One of the high spots that stands out in her mind (her eyes sparkle when she tells about it) was the Boardwalk Parade Tuesday night. "It was really exciting," she exclaimed, "and every body treated me just like a true celebrity." She said each of the 55 con testants rode in an open con vertible down the Boardwalk with people lined up on both sides along the way. "They called my name and asked me to turn to look at them," she said, "and flash bulbs were going off con tinually." Caught Cold , Marty said that though it was a little chilly during the parade ("it was pouring down rain") she loosened the wrap she was wearing because she got so warm from all the wav ing to the crowds. "I caught a cold that night," she smiled ruefully, "and I've still got it." Asked what girl she thought might win the contest, Marty replied that there is a long standing joke among the con testants that the girl nobody thinks of in connection with the title is always the one who wins. Marty said she personally liked Miss Hawaii very much and considered her "the most beautiful girl there." She was enthusiastic, too, about the friendliness of Miss New Hampshire, who ulti mately was voted Miss Congeniality. "She was the warmest girl I've ever met," Marty said, "when I first saw her, she just came right up to me and said, 'I'm Miss New Hamp shire, who are you?' " Praised Parks Marty had praise for the master of ceremonies, Bert Parks. "He made the girls feel right at home," she said, "and he tried hard to give every one an equal chance." Her immediate plans? Sha has returned to Southern Oregon college and had just come from her first class of the new school year. A year from now at this time - in September - she plans to ba married. "Would you do it all over again?" someone asked. She looked thoughtful for just a' second. "I might," she smiled.
