"It's come almost to the point now that we better start taking care of the United States first and last, said Secre tary of Commerce Luther Hodges the other day, and the blunt-speaking government official warned our top compe titors in the world trade markets that the U.S. is not going "to stand by in a namby-pamby way" when we negotiate on new tariff cuts at the GATT meetings next spring. As Hodges was putting it on the line, President Kennedy's chief trade negotiator, Christian Herter, was on his way to GATT headquarters to discuss preparations for the "Kennedy Round" of tariff cutting in 1964 so called because these negotiatons will be the first' under the 1962 trade act giving Kennedy power to slash U.S. tariffs by as much as SO per cent if through GATT we get similar concessions from other nations. At GATT's offices in an 18th century villa in Geneva, experts were making elaborate arrangements for the talks which, many believe, may be the most important trade nego tiations m modern history. What is GATT? While it has been in existence since 1947, its activities have strongly affected all our lives, and SO nations ranging from the giant U.S. to the tiniest African country belong to it, I'll wager few of you have the slightest notion of what it is. GATT stands far "General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade,"' and here is the tale brought up to date. At lh end of World War II, the Iradt markets of the world were in chaotic condition. Whtn a tariff-cutting deal was made, it was between two countries only and these two would maintain higher barriers agaimt all other na tion!. The tariff structure was utterly befuddling and the high trade walls each nation maintained against its com petitors were drastically limiting world commerce. It was the objective of the United States then, as it is now, to expand world trade, and we urged that the nations shift bargaining to a multi-nation and most-favored-nation basis meaning that when one nation granted a tariff cut to another, it would grant the same cut to all others. Under our leadership in 1947, 23 nations signed a treaty in Geneva agreeing to negotiate tariffs on this basis, setting up a code of trade ethics and ordering the establishment of an Inter national Trade Organization to regulate trade among the nations. The treaty was named the General Agreement On Tariffs and Trade and GATT was supposed to be just the name of the treaty after the ITO came into existence. But then our Congress vetoed U.S. membership in the ITO. To prevent a return to chaos, GATT was transformed from a "treaty" into a permanent organization which in the years since has been of crucial value in expanding world trade, settling tariff disputes between nations and setting the stage as it is now doing in the Kennedy Round for worldwide tariff reductions. Through GATT, there have been five worldwide tariff negotiations to date, reducing tariffs on over 64,000 products and involving tens of billions of dollars of trade. As a dra matic illustration, the average U.S. tariff today is around 11 per cent compared with an average of 50 per cent before World War II. GATT has been primarily responsible for this. Its con tribution to the prosperity of the Western trading nations has been enormous. Nor it tariff-cutting the only achievement of GATT's imall staff at Geneva haadquariers. Every year it holds conferences it which the member nations solve trade problems. At all times, the GATT council on which each member nation has a representative is ready to settle disputes between members. It is facing its biggest test of its life in the Kennedy Round next spring, for,, because of fights about tariffs on farm products and France s stiff attitude, experts are worry ing out loud that the scheduled talks may fail, and if so GATT itself might crumble. We must not permit .thls.rfor- it would be a disaster to the free world.

ID By AL KUETTNER UPI Correspondent At the corner of Clarkson ave. and Lenox road in Brook lyn. New York City, one of the most dramatic skirmishes in the civil rights battle is being waged. The immediate issue at stake is the alleged discrim ination against Negroes in the employment of construction workers. The crux of the mat ter appears, however, to be part of a long-standing and simmering bitterness against what Negroes call the North's "segregation in fact." Thursday saw "chain-ins" Introduced to the New York racial struggle. Negroes lock ed themselves together at the Brooklyn site where a new hospital is under construction next door to the basic sciences building of the downstate medical center. Bolt Cutters Used Police separated the demon strators with bolt cutlers and hauled them off to jail. At 2 p.m. Thursday, the count was 532 arrests for the week, a record not matched in many places in the South, Demonstrators lie down be for moving traffic on Lenox road. They have halted a num ber of huge cement mixers carrying fresh concrete to the new building which has its steel griders up. Some have narrowly escaped being run over. In the tree-shaded Brook lyn neighborhood, a mixture of frame private dwellings, the chain-ins have provided a strange commentary on the race issue. It is an area-ap-parently picked for this reason-where there is a large lib eral vote in every election. The National Association for the Advancement of Col ored People and the Congress of Racial Equality have heavy membership in that section of New York. The predominant goal is this: Negroes and Puerto Ri cans, often in competition for jobs, have joined forces In a battle for more jobs in the building trades. The Brook lyn hospital project was se lects because of periodic chaigcs of discrimination there. The demonstrators are de manding they be hired under a formula of 25 per cent Negro, 25 per cent Puerto Rican and 50 per cent other races on jobs financed by state or city funds. Rejects Formula Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, whose New York City office has been regularly picketed over the issue, holds that the demanded formula la un workable. "We cannot abandon the concept of giving equal op portunity to all by giving special privilege to a few," the governor said of the pro posal. As for the city's 122-union building trades council, a spokesman insisted there is no discrimination in. hiring. But the council recently has proposed a new central board to review Negro applications for apprenticeships and jour neymen advanced jobs. "The barriers are invisible and will take time to remove them," Rockefeller said. The arrested pickets in cluded ministers who broke into the strains of "We Shall not be Moved," an often- heard hymn at the integration rallies in Dixie Negro church- es. The fight of the Negroes was for more of the good jobs. ! A top grade construction worker can earn almost $11,5000 a year in New York for 40 hours of work a week, i Birth Control Data To Be Distributed Salem -JUPU- A planned par enthood group which will dis tribute birth control infor mation will go Into operation in Portland Sept. 1. the Stale Public Welfare Commission has been told.
