Sen. Talmadge Insists Steps
Be Taken To Aid Textiles
WASHINGTON, D. C. (GPS)
—Continuing his fight for the
protection of the nation’s cot
ton farmers and their giant ally
—the U, 8. textile industry —
against foreign competition,
Georgia’s U. S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge took the Senate floor
the other day to make another
strong plea for the federal gov
ernment to do something about
#. Said he:
“The serious threat to the
American Textile Industry and
the jobs of American textile
workers posed by continually
increasing imports of cheap for
eign textiles will be intensified
next month when American cot
ton export subsidy will be in
ereased to eight cents per
pound.
“This increased subsidy will
amount to a 25 per cent dis
count on the cost of American
cotton sold to foreign firms.
And when # is added to the
advantage which overseas tex
tile manufacturers already en
joy through wage scales which,
in many instances, are only
one-tenth of the American min
imum, it can only have the re
sult of accelerating the impor
tation of cotton cloth and ap
parel from abroad.
“It is imperative, therefore,
that steps be taken immediate
ly to protect the nation’s cot
tcn farmers and textile work
ers . om the adverse economic
impacy of such an eventuality.
“Towa. ' that end the Na
tional Cotion Council has filed
a petition with Secretary of
Agriculture . z'a T. Benson urg
ing that he invoke the safe
guards of S ction 22 of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act
against this indiscriminate im
portation of foreign textile
products.”
Sen. Talmadge then had in
serted #n the Congressional
Record as part of his remarks
a lef’er he had written to Sec
retary Benson the previous day,
with copies going to President
Eisenhower and the chairman of
the U, S. Tariff Commission, in
which he urged early and fav
orable eonsideration of that re
quest.
The senator asked Benson to

ibar the import of foreign goods
|made from U. S. cotton sold a
broad at a discount under the
surplus disposal plan. Other
wise, Talmadge declared, the
ldisposal program would be
“self-defeating.”
Low-priced imports, he con
tinued, are ‘“curtailing our do
mestic markets for both raw
cotton and finished cotton tex
tile products and consequently
forcing cotton growers off their
ifarms and putting textile em
ployees out of work.”
' Section 22 of the Agricultur
al Adjustment Act empowers

ATTENTION PARENTS #
Every parent wants his child
to be intelligent. “What is intel-l
ligence?” asks Mr. David Eng- |
ler in his book How to R.aisel
Your Child’s IQ. He answers!|
his question by discussing the |
great difficulty psychologists |
have in defining and judgingl
intelligence. He shows how in
exact the IG tests are and ex
plains how a child's IQ score |
may vary from year to year, |
and sometimes even from day |
to day, depending on several, |
factors. |
“Unquestionably the great
majority of children’s IQ scores |
can be raised,” he says, but
warns “Emotional factors play |
an important role in the devel- |
opment of mental or intellectual |
processes. Any child who is|
seriously disturbed is probably
functioning far below his ca-/
pacity. The IQ score of such a
child cannot be raised until the
emotional disturbance is
brought under control. Usually
this requires some kind of
therapy.” |
‘ In another connection he
sums up a chapter with this
statement: “. . . there is an in- |
creasing tendency to recognize
environment as a major factor
behind changes in the IQ, and
any chance of raising the IQ byf
improving the environment is
‘well worth taking. There is|
‘nothing to be lost in the at
tempt.”
Again: “The child whose par
ents do not talk to him much
is generally handicapped by a
limited environment; parents]
who do not encourage their child

Vickie Whisnante, Route 1,
Mansfield, is a winner in the
1959 4-H Farm Business Pro
ject and will receive an expense
1 ip to. the 31st annual
meeting of the American Insti
tute of Cooperation at the Uni
versity of Illinois, August 9
through 13.
The contest and the trip are
sponsored by Cotton Producers
Association, Atlanta, in cooper=-
ation with the Georgia Coun
cil of Farmer Cooperatives and
the Agricultural Extension Ser
ivice, Athens. The Farmers Mu
{tual Exchange, Covington, spon
|sored the trip locally.
‘ In participating in the 4-H
Farm Business Project, 4-H’ers
over the state studied and vis
ited the different types of busi
nesses in their community. They
lworked in local cooperatives,
| bought and sold their farm
| supplies cooperativel, spoke
(to civic groups, viewed coopera
tive films, wrote news articles,l
| attended directors’ meetings,’
{and made a report on their
{ studies. To win the trip, Vickie‘
{was the highest scoring 4-H’er |
in Newton County, and will join |
45 other Georgia winners in At- |
|lanta the night of August 7. |
! The group will leave Atlanta
| the morning of August 8 travel
ling by air conditioned buses
and will return on August 17.
‘All of the Georgia group will
have a part on the program
| with the theme for the meeting
l“Gearing Cooperatives To Serve |
' Modern Agriculture.” |
l Approximately 3,000 farm |
{lezders and farm youth from
| over the United States are ex
| pected to attend the meeting.
Following the meeting an inter
esting and educational side trip
has been arranged for the Geor
| gia group including a tour of
|Chicago, Niagara Falls and some
|leading cooperatives in the
| area,
to speak, who do not listen and
who do not stimulate verbal

| that child with an improverish- |
ed language background.” This.;
says Mr. Engler, will affect the"
|child’s ability to learn and in |
school he will likely be con- |
sidered, mistakenly, to have an l
inherent lack of ability and re=- |
ceive an education geared to |
such a lack of ability. “Certain- ‘
ly”, he says, one of the prime
| forces that help a child realize
his potential is stimulating and
| challenging and enriched edu
!cation. The 1Q should not play
the important role that it does
in keeping some children from
that kind of education.”
| The key to changes in a child’s
'IQ, he says, is in his environ
ment. He asks, “What is a Bet
ter Environment?” His answer
is helpful reading. He explains
how play can be used to help

Byrd Proposes Broad Study
Municipal Financial Problems
MACON, July 21 — Lieut.
Gov. Garland T. Byrd proposed
today that the State Senate
undertake a broad study of fin
ancial problems of municipali
ties.
Speaking at the annual con
vention of the Georgia Muni
cipal Association, the Lieuten
ant Governor said he would ask
the Senate Government Oper
‘ations Committee to begin such
a study immediately.
Byrd, in his speech prepared
for the convention, said a pro
posed constitutional amend
ment sponsored by the cities!
and towns would require a
change in the financial struc- |
ture of the state.
This proposed amendment
would permit the state to re
turn tax funds to municipal
governments. It has not been
acted on by either House or
Senate.
Byrd noted that the Govern
ment Operations Committee al
ready has made studies of the
Highway Department and the
Public Service Commission. He
said it is available to consider
other areas affecting all eiti~
zens of the state.
“Anyone who is involved in
any branch of government is
aware that the municipalities
must solve a severe financial |
problem,” Byrd said. “We also |
are aware that county govern-i
ments have a similar problem. |
“The governments of our|
municipalities and of our coun- |
ties must be given sincere con
sideration, if we are to be able
to continue sound government
|at the local level. Our govern- |
|mental structure in Georgia is |
built upon the local units.” |
‘ He said he would ask the
committee to meet with mem-l
bers of the municipal associa=
tion, with various other inter
|ested and affected groups. l
He said he wanted it be a
“broad, thorough, and objective
study”.
l “I hope that action ecan be'
taken which will be for the
|good of the municipalities,‘
which means that it will be for
the good of the entire state of!
Georgia,” he said. |
