I tunitios for Indiana s economy—equally divided between agricultural and industrial productiontin the field of international trade.” Welsh said the talks convinced him that “we will face a crucial decision during the coming year as the authority of the Trade Agreements Act expires.” “I am. grateful for the opportunity I had during these two , days to discuss the issue of our j nation's trade policy in depth and gain a better understanding of its importance both for Indiana and for the nation.” the governor said. Walter Heller, chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, stressed to the Indiana representatives that healthy exI»rt business stimulates greater economic activity throughout the entire country in a variety of industries that produce and service export companjes. . Secretary of t State Dean Rusk and Undersecretary George W. Ball described the jolitical impor-

tance to American security of « united and strong Europe, and the challenges and Opportunities which the common market presents, the goveernor said. ' ' Undersecretary of Commerce Edward Gudeman and Assistant Agriculture Secretary John P. Duncan Jr. detailed the specific products responsible for Indiana’s substantial interest in foreign trade, Welsh said. i Ust year, Indiana firms exported more than S3OO million in manufactured goods, chief among them transport equipment, machinery, steel and metal products. More than 100 per cent of dollar sales of industrial machinery produced in Indiana is generated by exports, it was said, and more! than half the state's 540.000 manufacturing workers are employed' in plants producing for exports. Total value of Indiana's 1960-61 agricultural exports was set at almost $l5O milion, mostly field crops. It was estimated that 16 cents of every dollar earned by Indiana farmers comes from export markets. “ 'o Welsh said he believes President Kennedy should have authority from Congress to negotiate new tariffs and that opinion should be brought to bear on Congress to accomplish that end. The governor said he and other members of his group will meet early next month at Indianapolis to discuss how best to relay to the general public the information they secured here. \

TSHOMBE (Continued from page one) to legality.” “This agreement was reached not only with the central government but also with the United Nations,” he said. k ‘Up to now, Tshombe only reached agreements with the central government and he never respected them.” Tshombe Looks Tired > Tshombe, who made the return from Kitona alone although Gullion accompanied him there, looked tired as he made the last lap of his trip back to Elisabethville by road. The city itself appeared to be relatively quiet and beginning to return to normal after more than two weeks of fighting between U. N. and Katangese forces that preceded the Kitbna conference. A cease-fire of sorts prevailed, although there were some reports of snining against U.N. troops from Europeans in the city. The UN. forces had seized a number of key positions in the city in a final drive before the talks, a situation that played a major part in getting Tshombe to ask President Kennedy to intervene and bring about the Kitona meeting. Ileo said he hoped the U.N. troops would retain the positions they won until the agreement would “restore peace to this tormented country by Christmas and strengthen the Republic of the Congo against division.” MACMILLAN (Continued from Page One The White House declined to outline the broad range of subjects to come before Kennedy and Macmillan, but it was evident from origins of the meeting and the personnel involved that atomic testing, general disarmament, Berlin, Germany and in general the Western position toward Russia were up for review. New developments in other parts of the world — the Congo, Goa, West New Guinea — also were certain to come up in the conference which has been stripped of most formalities and scheduled‘primarily as a business meeting. Hearing Cancelled On Election Hours INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—A hearing scheduled today on voting hours in next year’s elections was cancelled Wednesday by the Indiana State Election Board. The board took the action because of a Johnson Circuit Court order restraining it from setting all polling hours in the state next year on Central Standard Time. The temporary order, issued without notice by Judge Jack Roberts, was served Wednesday on the board’s three members—Governor Welsh, James Noland and Edwin M. S. Steers, all Indianapolis. * The hearing scheduled today had been a further step in the board’s attempt to have all voters in the time-divided state vote during the same hours. The board issued an order earlier this year setting the voting hours on Central Standard Time, but Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers, son of the board member, advised that a public hearing be held before a formal ruling. The order was challenged by Marion County Clerk Edwin McClure, acting on behalf of the clerks of Hoosier counties operating on Eastern Standard Time. McClure’s suit was transferred from Marion County to Johnson County. It was this action which resulted in the restraining order by Rogers.
