WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER US Business Leaders Urge Exiension Of Trade, Plan WASHINGTON W The Commit tee lor Economio Development, a private research- organization ot business leaders, today urged a Jive year extension of the recipro cal trade program and "gradual and selective tarilt reduction." The CED policy statement, al though in the main supporting President Eisenhower's tariff pro gram, went larther than the Presl dent in some respects. Elsenhower asked the last Con gress u extend the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act for three years and give him power to cut tariffs as much as 5 per cent, a year during that period. In the rush of last-minute business, con cress simply extended the old tar iff program for a year. Eisenhow- Cattle Feed Methods Told D. E. Alexander, former Kiam- ath County cattleman and onetime owner of the Rock Creek Ranch on Upper Klamath Lake, is recog nized In the December issue of the Country Gentleman for his suc cessful feeding operations. Alexander, who at one time ranged hundreds of head of cattle on the upper lake ranch and had extensive mill and feeding oper ations on a ranch at Merrill, moved bis residence to Napa, Cali fornia several years ago. He is credited with cutting di ase losses in cattle sharply by feeding 10 milligrams of antibiotic per 100 pounds, live weight. Most noticeable results were in less ship ping fever In young calves, near- elimination of liver flukes and cut In death loss to just two head out of 3000. Alexander bought the old Boak ranch of several thousand acres before roads Into the West side were developed and used water transportation part time as a means of . reaching his holdings. The Tanch was sold a year ago to Page Lamoreaux, Napa and Vallejo stockman and owner of a General Motors Agency In Vallejo. Liver Fluke has been prevalent for many years in cattle raised on marsh lands and Is one of the serious problems of cattlemen who range on marsh lands near Fort Klamath and other similar areas In Klamath County, Children Hurt In Bus Crash COLUMBUS, Ohio Wl Thirty-one school children were Injured, at least five seriously, when a school bus crashed into a tree here yes terday. The driver said the acci dent happened when he tried to prevent three musical instruments from sliding against the steering wheel. He was treated for shock. Driver Harold C. Fetter, 33, was quoted by police as saying the bus went out of control when he reached for the Instruments and swerved off the road. The bus was filled, carrying an estimated 60 youngsters. The bus was returning students from Marion-Franklin High school, south of heie. to their homes. lf (paAi (RefwAieA KARMEX-W-CLEANS UP DITCHES Spray Now! for weed Free Ditches next Summer, Note!.

The CED proposed that under a four-fold enlargement of the Pres ident s tariff-cutting authority: 1. Rates could be reduced by not more than S per cent a year for the duration of the extension. Un used authority should not expire, but carry over to later years. 2. Authority should be given to reduce to 50 per cent of the value of an import any tariff rate now acove that level. 3. The tariff could be suspended on any product not produced in the United States in substantial quan tities. 4. The President should be per mitted to exchange tariff cuts for trade concessions other than for eign duty reductions. "American exports are frequently more lim ited by other countries' import quotas than by their tariffs," CED saa. CED went beyond the President in urging modification of the "peril point and escape clause provi sions of the law so these devices could be used against tariff cuts only in case of "serious" hard ship to a U.S. industries. These two clauses permit withholding of tariff cuts in certain cases where hardship would result. The CED said such withholding snouid ordinarily be temporary, not permanent." Urging extension the trade law for "at least five years," the CED held that "the first reouirement of tariff policy is to minimize uncer tainty" among businessmen here and abroad about this country's future course. i - Vu uuea not lavor uniunitea iree mat, me policy statement said. "We do believe that it is in the national Interest of the United States to continue a policy of grad ual and selective tariff liberaliza tion." The CED report was drafted by a suocommittee working under Howard C. Petersen, president of the Fidelity Philadelphia Trust uo., Philadelphia. It was approved by a heavy majority of CED's Research and Policy committee, headed bv Fra zar B. Wilde, president of the Connecticut General Life Insur ance Co., Hartford. But two dissenting members of the 33-man policy group declared that further tariff cuts wouid be "contrary to our national in terest." , The dissenters Were John D.

The Idaho rancher started on a sub - marginal 320 acre dry land farm in the early thirties and has built his operation until he now owns 8000 acres of land where "Grass is Gold."

He has 260 acres of irrigated hay and pasture land in addition to some grain raised for feed. "It was grass that took the patches out of the seat of mv nants and save us what we have today" the Idaho man said in ex pressing bis strong belief in grass land farming. The R. M.

Jackson V". gressional action on appropria tions. The money, he said, could be returned without interest if funds for the dam eventually are appropriated. Col. William Whlonle. the cnn executive officer for civil works. told a newsman the offer has been received here along with a recora-1 mendation by Col. J.U.Moorbead, : Portland. Ore., district Army en gineer. He declined to eay what : tne recommendation Is. Whipple said no decision has been reached on the offer. He told 1 newsman he could not say whether any action might be ex-! pected prior to the return of Con-. gress in January, but that the coips wanted "to bring the matter I to a head as quickly as we can." . The corps, he said, considers John Day "A fine project, . . extremely desirable from the standpoint of the region's power needs," and one on which it is very anxious to so ahead with the planning." Asked about the corps' authority to accept funds from outside sources, Whipple said there are several laws under which money can be accepted for construction purposes. He added planning is construed as part of the construc tion program. He said there is "no exact prec edent" for the present offer al though tile corps has accepted planning funds from local interests in at least one case on a "much smaller" project. All that would be legally neces sary, Whipple said, would be for the offer to be approved by the Secretary of the Army. He added, however, "that doesn't mean we won't consult the appropriate con gressional bodies." Acceptance of the three-company offer would not commit the gov ernment to construction of John Day from a legal standpoint, Whipple said, although he agreed a construction commitment might be built up "psychologically" In the minds of Paclflo Northwest residents, Before making its decision on the loan offer, he said, the corps would probably determine the like lihood of Congress approving fed eral funds for the dam a construc tion in the near future. John Day, authorised tor federal construction for power and navi gation purposes, was suggested in the last session for possible Joint construction by the federal gov ernment and local northwest In terests. Bills to carry out this partnership program were intro duced by Sen. Cordon and Rep. Coon, Oregon Republicans, in the House and Senate but died in com mittees.
