PRODUCTS
State Department Makes
Report 10 Congress
Limitation Asked

WASHINGTON, May l9.-R-
The State Department reported to
Congress today that despite indus
try protests there is no present
need to curb import OF fishery
products.
New England and Pacific North
west fishery interests have repeat
edly asked Congress to limit fish
cry imports, particularly frozen I'LL
let's.
At various Congressional hearings,
industry representatives have plead
ed that higher tariffs will not help;
that rigid quotas are mandatory
The House Fisheries Committee
last month asked the State Depart
ment to study the effect OF imports
on the domestic industry and to
recommend remedial steps.
The department said that a Fish
and Wildlife Service review describ-
ed 1948 a healthy year for the U. S.
llSIlluB uluuotIy.
1.-The total commercial catch was
normal, theproduction Of frozen fish
was a record, to total canned pack
was relatively large, and consump-
ton of fishery products in the
United States increased over the
previous year." the review said.
The report admitted imports OF
certain fish products have increas-
ed much more than others.
Noting particularly an increase
in groundfish fillet imports, the
Department said however that there
is a vigorous and apparently ex-
panding demand for the product.
There is reason to believe" it
added, that the United States mar
ket will continue to support ex-
banding domestic production even
should imports continue to in
crease"
The Department said the domes-
tic industry apparently has, by
and large, maintained and increas-
ed production in the last three
years. Imports have increased, but
less, in absolute terms, than produc-
tion."
Limiting imports, the Department
explained, would mean re-establish-
ing trade barriers, may lead to re-
taliatory actions by other countries
and aggravate "the basic problem
which concerns the world today
the so-called dollar shortage"
Under the general tariffs and
trade agreements there are provis-
ions for limiting imports in specific
situations, none Of which appears
applicable to the United States fish
ing industry" the Department said.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-tR-

five months to break all ties with
the Russian dominated World Fed

defying CIO leadership.
With that ultimatum the organi-
zation's 52-man executive board

lasted so long.

leave the WITH, they may be kick
ed out of the CLIO.
President Philip Murray said the
board would declare itself on wages
today. Big CLIO unions already have
demanded a fourth round Of post
war wage raises, without naming
a precise figure.
Murray announced last night
that:
/. He had denounced Harry
Bridges, left-wing president of the
CLIO longshoremen, for ''misrepre-
sentation' and other offenses, and
had told him his conduct would be
brought to the attention OF the
Cleveland convention.
2. The board by a 1919 vote
formally withdrew the CIO from
the World Federation OF Trade
Unions. The CLIO and AFL have
agreed to take part in building

Bonnet, who had just returned

Germany. Acheson has cabled the
