Foreign traders also hope for some further relaxing of custom red- tape, tax encouragement for Amer- ican companies operating abroad, and more liberal provisions for American tourists bringing back foreign purchases, The Randall commission pro- poses that the “escape clause” and “peril point” safeguards to American industry be retained in the reciprocal trade agreements act. When an American industry feels that foreign competition threatens its existence it can appeal to the Federal Trade Commission under the “escape clause” for higher tariffs. Some 50 such appeals have been made, but the President, who has the final word, has so far approved only a handful.

The Wisconsin Republican an- nounced yesterday he was making major “‘concessions” to the Demo- crats to woo them back to what has been since last July an all- Republican subcommittee. The major point of dispute was to hire and fire staff members, a claim which the Democrats said in effect made the subcommittee a one-man operation. McCarthy said as recently as Jan, 8 that he was willing to “lean over backward” to get the Demo- crats to return, but that on the is- sue of hiring and firing the staff “I will be completely adamant— I will not give an inch.” Sen. McClellan (D-Ark), who had led the Democrats’ resignation from the subcommittee, said the McCarthy’s claim to sole authority! son why Democrats now should not agree to serve on the subcom- committee, adding: “This removes the barrier.” “I agree,” said Senators Syming- ton (D-Mo) and Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash), the others who had quit. The three Democrats said they would announce later today wheth- er any or all of them would agree to return to the subcommittee, or| ask that some Democratic succes- sog be named. McClellan had said previously other assignments would prevent his return, McCarthy told reporters he had made concessions because he dis- liked “the dangerous precedent” of having a one-party subcommittee with such wide investigating pow- ers, The investigations subcommittee was created with virtually un- limited authority to investigate alleged wrongdoing in the govern- ment.

To do so with an all-Rep- ublican group, Mundt said, “gives country an erroneous impres- sion . . . It looks like a Republican attack.” McCarthy had announced he and the other three Republicans of his subcommittee, in two closed con- ferences with the Democfats, by lunanimous vote had: 1. Rescinded the rule which gave McCarthy sole hiring and firing power—to the extent of letting him assign to the Democrats a staff counsel “agreeable to him (Mc- Carthy) and to operate under his direction.” 2.
