Predicts BUI Will Not Be Approved Sen. Carl T. Curtis (R.-Nebr.J predicted that a bill, S. 5550, which proposes to authorize Am erican participation in the organ ization for trade cooperation, wil not be approved by the congres: in its present form. This proposa: would make the United States i member nation along with 34 other countries under the genera] agreement on tariffs and trade Hearings on this bill will be helc in the coming session of Congress Senator Curtis pointed out thal in order to participate in this or ganization, we would be denied an nnpprtnnif.v to market, in for eign countries, agricultural com modities which are under price support programs. “This, oi course,” said Curtis, “rebukes oui agricultural program at a time when we are making every efforl to market surplus commodities abroad.” Other member nations in GATT would prefer that the United States trade in manufac tured goods and let the “under, developed areas” trade on the world market in agricultural pro ducts. Curtis pointed out that one im portant element in solving the iarm problem is to provide for in creased foreign consumption oi farm surplusses. “In recent years,” said Curtis, “the United States has twice fed the free world during large-scale wars, We cannot place ourselves into a deficit position in food produc tion merely because we are the world’s leading manufacturing nation.” Mrs. Viola Garwood Heads Matrons Ciub AMELIA—The Merry Matrons club met at the home of Mrs. Helen Pokorny.
