Member of The Asioclated Press Meditations Barbs Tariff Battles Are Likely Unless Handled Carefully As the Randall Commission pursues its important inquiry into U. S. foreign trade policy, thoughtful proposals are being tossed into the hopper for a balan- anced solution of the problem. In the view of many observers, the crux of the matter is how to prevent congressional consideration from resolving itself into bitter debate along strict low tariff-high tariff lines. The belief is that if that happens, no very constructive legislation will be forthcoming.

Clarence Randall, commission chairman, evidently understands this danger. He hopes to bring forth a report with unanimous commission backing, but his prospects are not too bright. A minority report strongly favoring high tariff walls is predicted. The latest business leader to contribute his thinking to this issue is Juan Trippe, president of Pan American World Airways. In an address to the National Foreign Trade Council, he proposed that Congress in 1954 renew the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act for two years.

At the same time, he would have it instruct the Tariff Commission to renew all existing tariffs to correct inequities. These changes would take effect within the two-year period unless Congress specifically disapproved. In this fashion, the head-on collision of low and high advocates would be averted. More time would be purchased for sane review of the subject. And foreign businessmen, continually in fear that reciprocal trade agreements are about to die and bring a revision to the old, high-level Hawley-Smoot tariff, could approach the American market on a more stable basis.

Trippe also indicated that a really forward-looking U. S. trade policy ought to deal with much more than merely tariffs. If advances can be made in a number of other fields, then the tariff question may tend to be placed in better perspective as just one element in improved trade relations. As possible additional steps he mentioned: Pepcal of the Buy America Act which compels the government to buy all its wants at home, though businessmen suffer no such restriction.

Increase of the duty exemption for returning travelers from the present $500 to which would allow much more goods to flow in than now. Further important customs simplifications to add to those approved this year by Congress. Tax law amendments to allow the President to make reciprocal treaties with other countries that would exempt Income earned abroad from a nation's SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Bj carrier in the city ol Blytnevllle or town where carrier tcrvice maintained, 25c per week.

Recommendations like these deserve the attention of the Randall and Congress. For unless the problem is treated whole, battle linos will form over tariffs alone, with great handicap to the national interest.

Just One Facet of Our American Sense of Fair Play NCWJ'M WU.IN61ZMCU_£TTHB "ty 'II Views of Others Ten States Lose Population. Of the 10 states where population has declined since 1950 Arkansas has the highest percentage loss. North Dakota with a 2.8 loss ranks next in the latest, Bureau of the Census report. Coming third i.s Maine with a 2.4 drop. Only two purely Southern states besides Arkansas had a decrease.

Tennessee's was 1.0 and Mississippi's 0.1. Oklahoma, more Western than Southern, experienced a 0.4 per cent decline. West Virginia, which has some Southern elements in its makeup, showed a loss of 1.8. Vermont had a decren.se of 1.9. The decline in New Hampshire was 0.2.

Iowa, which has some of the finest farms in the world, last 0.5 per cent of its people What the common factor is, if there he one, remains obscure. Not enough indu.stnalization— the common explanation given for most any economic problem in wouldn't hold true for West Virginia. But unsettled labor management relations, affecting coal miners and steel mills, might. Manufacturing outweigh. 1 farming as a source of income in Tennessee.

The state continues to gain new industries. Still, it turns up with a population los.s. New England Industry has been on the downgrade. So the population decline in the three states of that region may be attributed at least in part to the minor depression in textile mills and other industries. But Maine has important fisheries and farm crops and a big tourist business to supplement manufacturing.

That state is far better developed than North Dakota. Still there Is a difference only 0.2 in their population decline. And Arkansas is more advanced than North Dakota in diversified use of resources and in urbanization. Nevertheless, North Dakota's population appears to be more stable, It would be a mistake to assume that these declines are nil permanent losses. For Instance we know some families who have been attracted by high wages in California, But they ore keeping their Arkansas property, because they intend to return here after they have acquired a nice bonk account.

Greatest Progress "Not only has the South made progress, but it has 'made greater progress than any other section of the United States. Improvements in race relations have been accepted botli by the intellectual leadership and the masses." It is not olten that the South is complimented on its achievements, let alone its good intcnUs, in the painful area of relations between the two races. Most of the time it is condemned as a laggard and Hypocrite. Those In and out of the South who have seen miracles of domestic adjustment in the last 25 years (all the while frictions between social relationship, more deadly to man's cxsistence) know full well, however, that progress is no myth.

Gold Price The world price of gold on the free market In Europe has been taking something of a beating in recent weeks due to heavy sales by the Russian government. Apparent purpose of the Communists is to get more foreign exchange with which to buy consumers' foods to bolster morale on their home fronts.

Mrs. S. writes that her 10-year- old daughter hns a blood disease called purpura. Purpura is a disturbance in the clotting system of the blood which I will discuss in this column. Purpura is commonly shown by black and blue spots under skin or mucous membranes.

These spots are hemorrhages through the blood vessels. Actually, there are several kinds of purpurn. the classification being based largely on cause and on which of the various substances that influence tolood clotting are disturbed. The treatment, ihcre- foro, depends on the kind of pur- nira, and one cannot answer Mrs. questions on treatment without knowing which kind is involved and how severe it is, since ihere a good deal of variation in severity as well as in kind.
