Government To Ban
Output Of Fishing
Equipment May 31st

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-R-
The War Production Board today
prohibited the manufacture of fish
ing tackle after May 81.
No restrictions were placed on
sale of tackle already on hand and
to be produced until May 81, but
WPB directed that manufacturers
continue production until the shut
down date at restricted rate, US
ing only stocks on hand or on order
prior to today.
The production stoppage is to be
effected by denying use of metals,
plastics and cork. Officials said
large stocks of equipment are now
on hand. Probably as much as a
years supply.
Production of fish hooks may be
continued at a rate equal to one
half last years. George Moore
chief of the WPB sporting goods
units, explained that 1--WE wanted
to take care of the fellow who goes
out to catch himself a mess of fish

A total of I'll firms are affected
by the tackle order, with some
manufacturers already partly oc
cupied with war work. About II
per cent of the industry as whole
has been converted.
