...this campaign, Kennedy is bringing up his heaviest artillery. This week's lead-off witness, Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges, is expected to point out that of last year's $15 billion in U.S. imports, $9 billion worth consisted of raw materials that actually helped to make U.S. jobs. Afterward, Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg will stress that the Kennedy bill provides for Government "adjustment assistance" to companies, managers and workers who are damaged by trade liberalization. Also going up to testify: Treasury's Dillon, Agriculture's Freeman, Defense's McNamara, and free-trading spokesmen for everyone...
