Trade in U. 5. Zone
OF Reich Gaining
Rapidly, Report Shows
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

4 BERLIN, Nov. l6.-Despite the
lack Of Capitalization in Germany
interzonal trade showed a steady
increase in the monthly American
military government report issued
yesterday. An authoritative source
said overall surveys would show the
American zone most rapidly ap-
preaching peacetime economy fig
ureS.
While the British and Russian
zones are larger producers Of manu-
factured goods due to their more
extensive factories, the compare
lively light industry of the Amer
ican zone was recovering faster
toward 1886 levels than the other
zones, the source said in comment
ing on the military government
report.
The two statements on industrial
progress tended to dispute Russian
controlled newspapers contentious
That recovery in the United States
zone was retarded.
Travel Controls Eased.
Two factors which have helped
to stimulate trade, the report said,
are Cd a decision to exempt Ger
mans engaged in legal commerce
from the ruling requiring special
passes to travel between the Brit
ish and American zones, and (2)
establishment of a uniform ration
scale equivalent to 1900 calories
daily for commercial travellers in all
four occupation zones.
The report said that during the
period from January through Au-
gust the American zone had ex-

lported restricted goods" valued al
266, ,719 900 reichsmarks to the three
other zones or close to 100000, ,00O
|reichsmarks more than 1t imported
from them. CA reichsmark is valued
at 10 cents.)
The goods included foodstuffs,
tobacco, soap, alcoholic beverages
textiles. fuels, fertilizers, lumber
electrical machinery, highway We
hicleS and parts.
Russian Zone Weakest.
Weakest in this trade activity was
the Russian zone, perhaps because
the Soviet is drawing OF goods from
current production for reparations
1t exported only 10910,000 reichs-
marks in goods to the American
zone as against imports worth ST.
108, 900 reichsmarks.
Little progress" was made in put
ting into effect a trade program be-
tween the American and Soviet zones
aiming at 100000 reichsmarks
worth of trade per quarter, the re-
port said.
1t noted that the figures for inter-
zonal commerce did not indicate the
relative balance in value of imports
and exports fer each zone because
not all goods moving in the trade,
such as electric power, gas, coal,
pit props and iron ore, were covered.
Buyers On Increase.
Meantime, 1t said 80 American
businessmen and foreign buyers "in
numbers" began to appear to ex-
plore possibilities for purchasing
German-made goods.
Exports from the American zone
in August-September to the United
States, Austria, France, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway, totalled 1,200,-
600, the report said.
Another highlight of the monthly
report was an analysis of the prog
ress of denazification of the Ameri-
can zone which deputy military
Gov. Lucius D. Clay recently criti-
cized severely.
BY October, German tribunals
and prosecutors had classified ap-
proximately $4,000 Germans under
the denazification law but found

Shipowners Force
Unions 10 Strike

I WASHINGTON, October 10
LPA)-Striking AFL and CIO
maritime unions, which tied up
all shipping on east, west and
gulf ports last week, were given
probably the worst run-around
in their history as they continu-
ed their long battle for union
security for merchant marine Of
ficers.
Leaders of the CTO Marine
Engineers and the AFL Masters,
Mates & Pilots sat through sew
eral days of stumbling and fun
bling government-sponsored ne
gotiations after the Labor De-
partment and Maritime Com
mission found themselves lelp-
less in the face of coAtinuee re-
fusal of the Pacific American
Shipowners Association to say
anything but no to almost
every proposal.
Initial hopes for a settlement
were raised when Labor De-
partment conciliators obtained
an agreement from east coast
operators providing for union
security with the understanding
that the Maritime Commission
would enforce the clause on all
government-owned ships. These
hopes were blasted when the
west coast operators arrogantly
refused even to discuss union
security and Capt. c. F. May of
the MM&P baked at accept
tanCe.
Ships Are Held
More than 5000 MEBA and
AIM&P pickets, meanwhile, held
400 ships at their docks in New
York harbor alone. Hundreds of
other ships were tied up in Gulf
and Pacific ports. Spokesman
for both unions placed the chief
blame for the second nationwide
maritime tieup in two months
squarely on the west coast op-
orators who have not, they de-
clared, offered single counter
proposal to any of the unions
demands.
The operators were evidently
hoping that they could sway the
anchorless Maritime Commission
to their side and on several oc-
casions during the negotiations
the Commission clearly got cold
feet when it came to agreeing
to cover the government-owned
vessels with the same mainten-
ance Of membership clause
which might be applied to east
coast ships.

shipyard workers.
Communist sy m p athizers
in the union were soundly
beaten on several votes, includ-
ing passage of an amendment to
the unions constitution that
Communists, Nazis, Fascists,
or members of the Ku Klux
Klan, or anyone adhering to
these PHILOSOPHERS, shall be bar
red from holding positions of
responsibility or authority in
this union or any of its Subdi-
visions, and any person advocat-
ing the overthrow of the Con-
stitution of the u. S. shall be
barred from office in this
union"
The amendment was passed
by a voice vote on the day fol-
lowing a speech to delegates by
CIO Secretary Treasurer James
Carey in which he asserted
There are in this country a
number of forces actuated by
differing motives. For example,
the Communist Party has ap-
pointed itself advance agent for
a certain formula for world gov
ernment and the establishment
of a certain type of economy
1t is vastly different from the
American type of economy
which the CIO favors."
Membership Drops
Delegates heard officers re-
ports that average total mem
bership dropped from 200,897
in 1945 to 104,354 in 1916. De-
spite the enormous drop in the
number employed in shipyards,
the union recruited "a 025 new
members in 1916.
Despite a plea from interna-
tional officers, delegates voted
down by 332 to 1875 a proposal
to increase dues from $3.50 to
So a month.
A proposal from the floor to
congratulate former Commerce
Secretary Henry Wallace on his
stand on foreign policy was not
acted on by the convention, and
a resolution was expected in the
closing hours of the convention
which would refer the whole
question of CIO stand on the
Wallace program to the national
CIO.
All incumbent officers of the
IUMSWA were rejected, includ-
ing President John Green, Vice
President John Grogan, and
Secretary Treasurer Ross Blood.
