Herter told a news conference,
"We are going ahead whether or
not Britain joins. British mem
bership Is not an essential" to
U. 8. tariff negotiation!) with the
market.
He said the only difference
would be that the United Stales
would have to hold two sets of
negotiations. But he said the Unit
ed States, under the Trade Ex
pansion Act, would be negotiating
with 40 to 50 countries, and one
more would make little difference
But if Britain does not join,
Herter said, the 80 per cent "dom
inant supplier" formula would be
affected. This part of the Trade
Expansion Act says the United
States will grant mutual zero tar
iffs to commodities of which 80
per cent are imported by a trad
Ing bloc or country.
If Britain joins the Common
Market, this formula would be ap
plied to 25 commodities ranging
from women's furs to musical in
struments. American exports to
the market in these commodities
total $2,086 billion per year. If
Britain does not join, the formula
can only be applied to aircraft
and vegetable oils totaling $500
million per year.
Herter said American and mar
ket negotiators would not actually
sit down together for about 14
months. The present talks only
concentrated on "reviewing and
identifying" possibilities which
must be considered.
Herter said he saw no hesitation
by Common Market executives
alxiut starling talks with the Unit
ed Stales. The market has been
severely shaken by Fiance's ef
forts to keep Britain out and
there was speculation that French
President Charles de Gaulle wantsi
to curb the powers of the commis
sion. Herter said he had heard of
French hesitation over increasing
American capital investment in
Europe, "but as far as I know,
however, nothing has been spe
cifically proposed in the United
Slates and the Common Market."
The task of Herter, a former
secretary of stale in the Eisen-i
hower administration, is to make
arrangements for formal ncgotia-;
tions aimed at mutual tariff con
cessions between the United States
and European countries.
The negotiations, which may last
as long as a year, arc within
the framework of the Trade Ex
pansion Act which permits Pres
ident Kennedy to grant 50 per
cent tariff cuts on all goods.
Under the act, the President also
may eliminate rccipdocally tar
iffs on categories of products
where the United States and the
Common Market account for 80;
per cent of the free world trade.
A communique issued alter Her-
ter's first talks Friday said the
conversations "took place in
cordial atmosphere," and listed
the various problems without any
positions being taken.
Among the issues raised were
problems of agricultural products.
trade restrictions other than tar
iffs, and work required in con
nection with the U.S. Customs
Simplification Act.
Hcrter's task was complicated
by France's threat to veto British
membership in the Common Jiar-
kct. 'Hie negotiations had been
predicated on the assumption
that Britain would join the trade
group now consisting of France,
West Germany, Italy, Belgium,
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
French President Charles de
Gaulle contends that Britain is not
ready for membership and opposes
any special terms for the British.
Tile British have been negotiating
18 months here for arrangements
that would protect their farmers
and Commonwealth trade.

Nurse Home
Change Eyed
HOOD RIVER, ( UPI I - The
1903 Legislature will be asked to
transfer all nursing home patients
over 65 years of age who are now
on Old Age Assistance to the new
Medicare Aid for the Aged pro
gram, the Stato Welfare Commis
sion said here Friday night.
It is one of the suggestions to
be forwarded to the assembly by
the Governor s Advisory Commit
tee of the MAA.
State Welfare Administrator
Andrew Juras said the nursing
home change would save the state
between $43,000 and $44,000 a,
month.
Other changes to be recom
mended will include a revision of
the $9 average per patient per
month benefit package in hospital
benefits and coverage, and a pro
vision which would make an in
terested insurer able to take over
the medical and hospital coverage
section.
Juras said a cut in federal aid
because of increased state income
will mean the state must make
up $835,810. Of this figure the
stale must provide $584,400 and
the 'counties the rest.
