New Castle NH AP The GATT executive secretary Eric White told the Northern Textile Association that prospects for broad natural fiber use in advanced nations look dim for 1965–70, but growth in less developed countries could absorb low-cost cotton textiles. He cautioned overall optimism if living standards rise, and noted room for man-made fibers in developed countries. George Dorr Jr. criticized slow wool import controls, while Seabury Stanton urged enforcing 1961 presidentials’ trade aims. Henry Froehling of Du Pont predicted rising man-made fiber shares and polyester growth.
