Ask Continuance Of Committee On Textiles
The Textile Workers Union of America has urged President Eisenhower to give permanent status to the Inter-agency Committee on Textiles, set up within the Commerce Dept. last May to help solve the industry's chronic ills.
TWUA President William Pollock, in a letter to the President, said the union is "considerably disturbed" by rumors the committee will be dissolved after filing a report with the White House in the near future.
"It would be tragic," Pollock wrote, "to cut short the life of a committee whose work offers so much potential good to the textile industry, to the hundreds of communities which depend upon it economically, and to the hundreds of thousands of workers who earn their livelihood in its employ.
"Most textile problems are basic and long-range in character. They cannot be over-come through piecemeal remedies or through sporadic attempts at a cure."
