RECORD TOURIST TREK CHALLENGES DOLLAR It's the peak of spring and the start of the biggest trek in history of U.S. tourists to vacation spots outside our borders. It's also, therefore, the start of the biggest chal lenge the U.S. tourist ever has posed to the strength of his own precious U. S. dollar. All the barometers of tourism passport applications and renewals, reservations on ships and airlines are flashing the probability that this will be the year records are smash ed on every side. By 1963 s end, it's likely that more than 12.5 million U. S. citizens will have traveled outside this country against 11,940,000 last year. They'll spend way over the all-time high $2.5 billion they left in the countries they visited in 1962. Just the number of tourists going overseas (excluding Canada and Mexico) well may top two million compared with 1,750,000 in 1962. As a result, the "tourist gap" the difference between what American tourists spend abroad and what foreign tourists spend here will be the greatest ever. In 1962. a total of 5,816,000 foreigners visited us and spent around $1.1 billion. This left a tourist gap against us of $1.4 billion, up from under $1.2 billion in 1961. The way the travel rush is shaping up. that $1.4 billion record is going to be shattered along with all the others and this is distinctly bad news. Of course, travel abroad is fine for the Individuals con cerned and the countries lhay visit. Americans spend huge amounts of dollars while traveling, which the countries in turn can use to buy things and non-ihingi lhay need anywhere in the world, including here. Our tourist dollars are crucially Important to the economics of many nations which have only limited capacities io earn dollars in other ways. But 1962 s $1.4 billion tourist gap contributed mightily to last years $2.2 billion deficit in our balance of pay ments and the persistent deficiu in our international ac counts are a constant threat to our dollar's value. As year after year we continue to spend more abroad than we earn abroad, our foreign creditors are building up enormous reserves in dollars with which they can buy U.S. gold. Our gold reserve already has dwindled to under $15.8 billion despite the fact that we have invented powerful defenses for our dollar and ingenious methods to curb the gold drain. What do we do to close this tourist gap? We certainly don't slap curbs on travel. That would be incredibly stupid. What we do is try to encourage more foreigners to visit us and spend money here. This we have been attempting since the United States Travel Service was set up in the Dept. of Commerce in 1961 and the "Visit USA" program is having a small but at least a perceptible amount of suc cess now that it is in full gear. In 1982 the number of foreigners visiting the U.S. (not including Canada and Mexico) rose 17 per cent. From the nine countries in which the USTS has offices, the increase in visitors here was 23 per cent while in contrast the number of visitors from countrits not covered by the USTS actually dropped 8 per cent. To Volt Gilmore, di rector of the USTS, the results are noteworthy in view of the bad weather conditions in Europe which almost stalled transportation in the latter part of 1982, the year end dock strike which halted many incoming passenger ships, the restrictions on currency for pleasure travel wh'-h still exist in some countries. And sumore says ne is "most encouraged" by figures Just tabulated revealing that for the first three months of 1963 our visitors from overseas totaled 122.000, an increase of 25 per cent over the January -March 1982 period. Nevertheless, the first plain fact Is that there's a huge difference between how many of us go abroad and how much we spend and how many foreigners ccme here and how much they spend. The second plain fact is that no matter what "Visit USA" efforts we make, the odds are this dif ference will widen before it narrows. The third plain fact is that the U.S. tourist is going to contribute a giant share to our balance of payments problems (or an indefinite period. Of all the economic challenges we face, the deficit in our balance of payments is among the most serious if not the most serious. J 't ¬ MEDFOHD Local Congressman Discusses Number Of Topics What does a congressman i talk about when he returns to his home town for a one-night stand? Congressman Robert B. Duncan of Oregon's Fourth district talked about The Dunes park, the Agate dam, the lumber market, O & C formula, flags, cats and dogs, trailers, horses, and just about everything, but "cabbages and kings." And fortunately for him he has had combat training. For there was interference to the right and the left and the "head winds were certainly blowing" when he met con stituents at 1500 Terrace dr., almost two hours later than announced. Duncan missed his plane in San Francisco and came to Medford by a later flight Saturday night. His son, Angus, and constit uents, who flocked to the air port at 6:30 p.m., returned for the later flight or gathered at his home, where there was a steady stream of guests coming and going until a late hour. The congressman left early Sunday to visit other areas in his district, provided he didn't receive an emer gency call to be on the floor of the House of Representa tives early Monday morning. Arrangements Hopad For "I am trying to make ar rangements for the $70,000 to pick up the options tor trans fer of property under the Agate dam," Duncan declared, "I'm not optimistic," he ad ded, "but I'm trying." Duncan also made it clear that he is doing "everything possible to arrange for a hear ing in Florence, Ore., this year on the bill to establish an Oregon Dunes National Seashore." Duncan believes hearings on the seashore should be held in Florence, for the conven ience of the beach residents most directly concerned. In San Franciso, in addition to addressing the Western Forest Industries association, Duncan met with a number of representatives of O and C counties. The O and C formula Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyriaht, Hall Syndicate, Inc. MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, in Visit was discussed and the cong ressman emphasized again that he does not intend to sit by and let anything detri mental to his district happen to that formula. Mentions Tactics "Maybe my tactics are not what some people consider the best," he added. "But there have been no overt acts committed against the O and C so I see no point in creating a problem where one does not exist." "Some Republicans have ac cused me of trying to give away the O and C money," Duncan stated. "Just as 1 was accused when speaker of the Oregon House of Representa tives of trying to give away O and C money and cut basic school support. The record will show that neither thing happened." Discussing trade prospects for lumbermen, his topic in the San Francisco address, Duncan reviewed the tariff history of this country, mov ing from the restrictive Smoot-Hawley tariff down to the present trade conditions, illustrating that the European Common market is reslly pat terned after the free trade community of the United States. The trade pattern which, he maintained, "gave this country the greatest pros perity the world has known." Comments on de Gaulle Europe is now embarking on just such a sunny voyage on the economic seas, Duncan continued, but pointed out that there is a dark cloud in the sky and made is clear that the cloud is de Gaulle. "The big problem evolves from the fact that he is an heroic figure whatever peo ple choose to think," Duncan declared. "He is like that big cloud that hangs over Slob bovia in Lt'l Abner." Asked If he wouldn't "Please return for the Roose velt Memorial dinner May 11," Duncan, with his familiar pipe In hand, answered "I will certainly try." He said he had attended his first congressional reception at the White House and talked for a minute with President Kennedy. It was Marljane's first trip to the White House and Duncan said she enjoyed it, although disappointed that Mrs. Kennedy could not be present Seven Persons Take Peace Corps Test In Area Saturday Peace Corps placement tests were given in Medford Satur day to seven applicants. Of this number six were walk-in candidates, Johnny Gresham, who conducted the examina tions with Leonard Nelson, reported today. Ten persons had signed up to take the tests, but of this number only one appeared at the Medford post office Sat urday. Apparently, Gresham said, people have apprehen sions regarding the need for educational background and feel that they are not aca demically prepared for the test. "This is very misleading," Gresham stated. "The Peace Corps is in dire need of peo ple with vocational back ground. Farmers, elictrlcians, mechanics and farm machine operators, as well as teachers, are needed." Gresham, assistant Civil Service examiner, explained that the test has been cut In half since the first ones were conducted. It now requires three hours' time. The Civil Service commission encour ages people to go to the post office or contact the examin ers by telephone to obtain information for the next test, Gresham said. It will be con ducted here June 8, according to the present schedule. The examiners would like to have as many people as arc inter ested apply to take the exam ination and are particularly concerned that all who apply follow through and take the examination.
