Mixed reaction in Carolinas to Japan textile import plan
The State Department said Japan will set voluntary limits on cotton textile imports to the United States, drawing guarded response from textile officials and political leaders in the Carolinas. Gov. George Bell Timmerman called it proof of Republican indifference, while Gov. Luther Hodges dubbed it political but beneficial for the industry. Industry leaders differed, with some praising limits and others seeking bilateral terms, and Senator Scott criticizing the move as an election lull tactic.
