Talmadge raps
tobacco move
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Sen.
Herman Talmadge, D-Ga., to
day described as vicious and
contemptible an attempt to kill
all federal tobacco support pro
grams.
Talmadge referred to an
amendment proposed by Sen.
Frank E. Moss, D-Utah, to the
crop support bill now in the
Senate. Moss is the Mormon
senator who engineered the ban
on broadcast advertising of cig
arettes.
Talmadge said the amend
ment would “destroy...the God
fearing people” who grow to
bacco by ending not only their
subsidies but other programs
designed to help them sell their
product both at home and
abroad.
He said such programs cost
the government only 153.1 mil
lion in 1970—while at the same
time domestic tobacco sales
netted $4.6 billion in federal
and state taxes and foreign
sales added $467 million to the
U. S. balance of payments posi
tion.
“This amendment would ac
complish no good whatsoever,”
Talmadge told the Senate. “It
will not stop the sale of tobac
co. It will not stop the advertis
ing of tobacco. It will not make
it unlawful to smoke tobacco.
It will not contribute one iota
to better health in this nation,
but it will be harmful to the
economy of this nation. It is de
signed only to punish the tobac
co grower in this country. It
has no other purpose.”
Orders ban
on horses
ATLANTA (UPI) - Agricul
ture Commissioner Tommy Irv
in today ordered an immediate
embargo on the shipment of
horses from encephalitis
plagued Texas into Georgia.
Irvin imposed the quarantine
as a result of an outbreak of
Venezuelaenequine encephalitis
in Texas this week.
The agriculture commissioner
said Mexico has been plagued
with the disease for some time.
He said it was believed that the
encephalitis entered Texas from
the Mexican border area.
Equine encephalitis is trans
missible to humans, not directly
from the horse, but from the
fly or mosquito carrying the vi
rus.
Irvin said he ordered the
halting of the horse shipments
because there is a substantial
movement of these animals
from Texas into Georgia.
The Mexican outbreak was re
ported to have caused the death
of 26 persons.
