Meanwhile, U.S. automobile parts manufacturers and whole- salers have organized a joint committee headed by Jack Whitaker, president of Whitaker Cable Corporation of North Kan- sas City, Mo., to combat the im- pact of the Canadian program. WROTE TO PRESIDENT Correspondence disclosed in the Seinate Tuesday by Syming- ton-shows that Whitaker wrote President Johnson March 6 ex- pressing puzzlement that a gov- ernment which declares war on poverty, reduces taxes and fights unemployment does not defend U.S. manufacturers "against subsidied foreign competition."

ASKED FOR DUTY Symington said Whitaker asked the treasury to impose a countervailing duty against Ca- nadian parts and vehicles but he failed "to get any action of any kind whatever." Symington said urgent action will be needed by the proper U.S. government officials '"'un- less we want to resign ourselves' to the loss of some 60,000 jobs to Canada in this one industry."
