Pipe for Soviet
Again Denied

The Commerce Department
has denied--for the third and
presumably last time-an ex-
port license for the shipment
Of $2.5 million worth Of large
diameter steel pipe TO Russia.
Secretary Of Com m cree
Strauss made and announced
the decision. The earlier turn
downs had been at lower levels
In the department. and became
an issue during the January
visit Of Russia's Deputy Pre-
mier Mikoyan.
Mr.. Strauss said yesterday
the rejection was based on a
finding by an interdepartmen-
tai committee that the pipe
shipment would not be In the
national interest as defined In
the Export Control Act"
On Restricted List
The application covered H.
900 tons OF 28-inch and 30-inch
pipe suitable for crude oil and
other petroleum products or
gas.
Mr.. Strauss said line pipe Of
these diameters is on the list
Iof items for which individual
licenses must be obtained in ad-
vance of shipment to any point
outside the western hemisphere.
There is "a general presump-
ton for denial" Of applications
for shipment of commodities
on this list TO Soviet bloc
countries, Mr.. Strauss said,
even though pipeline is not
enlarged completely from the
Communist countries as a,war-
potential item.
Mr.. Strauss is known to favor
q strict policy on exports be-
hind the Iron Curtain despite
the general easing Of export
restraints which became Gov
eminent policy just before he
took office last November.
Company Not Named
Mr.. Mikoyan used this coun-
try's refusal to sell pipe to
Russia as an illustration Of
what he called the unbending
attitude Of United States OFF,
cialdom toward Russian trade
overtures.
There have been recent re-
ports that Russia is buying "a
inch pipe from West Germany.
The department has not
made public the name Of the
company which sought the ex-
port license for the United
States pipe. 1t is understood
to be q large steel producer.
