Show Wool producer victim of double play Sen. Wallace F. Bennett (R-TJtah) (R-TJtah) today told Secretary of State Dean Rusk that the "West's wool producer has become be-come a victim of a State Department De-partment double play." The Utah Republican made the remarks in a special meeting meet-ing at the State Department with the Sec. Rusk, Christian Herter, the State Department's Special Representative for Trade Negotiations, and George W. Ball, the Under Secretary of State. Sen. Bennett, who was the only Senator in the group from a wool-producing state, told Sec. Rusk, "The wool producer in the United States has become be-come a victim of a State Department De-partment double play, first from the increasing imports of wool, wool textiles and finished fin-ished woolen articles, and second sec-ond from the increased imports im-ports of lamb and mutton." Sen. Bennett cited import statistics and said "In 1963 imports of men's wear worsted accounted for 30 per cent of the total US consumption." He said this was an increase of 16 per cent from 1961. "The import of wool fabrics from Japan alone in the first 10 months of 1963 increased some 40 per cent over the similar sim-ilar period in 1962," he said. "We must take some positive posi-tive action to remedy the import im-port problem which gives foreign for-eign woolgrowers and textile manufacturers a grossly unfair un-fair advantage over American woolgrowers and textile manufacturers," manu-facturers," he said. Secretary Rusk explained some of the difficulties regarding regard-ing negotiations for voluntary international wool-textile trade agreements with the three major ma-jor wool-processing countries, England, Italy and Japan. He promised to continue his efforts ef-forts at an achieving an agreement agree-ment and to provide the group with a report on steps he is going to recommend to alleviate alle-viate the problem.
