American Crab Industry
Says Lowering Tariff Will
Help Japan-Russia Deal
By Frank W. Vaille
WASHINGTON, W)—A reduc
tion in tariffs on crab meat im
ported from Japan, in the opinion
of the American industry, “will
either encourage more poaching
in Alaska waters or encourage a
deal with Russia, both of which
are equally distasteful.”
The view was contained in a
statement prepared for submis
sion today to the Tariff Commis
sion and the Committee for Reci
procity Information by Sterling
G. Harris of Port Royal, S.C.,
chairman of the American Crab
Packers Assn.
The two bodies now are con
ducting separate hearings on a
list of items proposed for possible
tariff concessions in forthcoming
trade negotiations with Japan and
other countries.
Harris told the commission:
“All that lower tariffs would
accomplish is a reduction in price
which would hurt the Japanese
instead of help them.”
And, he added, such a reduction
1 “will curtail the domestic indus
I try drastically and eventually will
’ lead to its destruction.”

‘Students & Spies’
In Two Categories,
Says Peiping Radio
TOKYO, Sunday, Dec. 19, UP)—
Peiping Radio, which recently
hinted willingness of Red China
to swap 11 imprisoned U.S. fliers
for Chinese students detained in
the United States, argued Friday
night that “students and spies fall
under two entirely different cate
gories.”
Red China has sentenced the 11
fliers to terms up to lffe, charging
they were sent over Chinese terri
tory on espionage missions. The
United States has demanded their
release, denying they were spies
but insisting instead they were
shot down as Korean War partici
pants.
“The Chinese people have ever\
right to punish U.S. spies sneak- A
ing into China to carry out acts^M
of sabotage,” said an editu
the Tientstin Ta Kung Pao,
the U.S. State Department has no
justification whatsoever to detain
Chinese students.
“Every sovereign state has the
right and duty to arrest and pun
ish foreign spies. But what crime
has been committed by the Chi
nese students in America?”
The editorial tone was the same
“tough” type which has been con
sistently displayed by Peiping
Radio ever since broadcasting the
willingness of Premier Chou En
Lai to meet with Dag Hammar
skjold, U. N. secretary-general,
who wants to discuss ways of
obtaining release of the 11 Ameri
cans.
Gambling Repealed
By Ketchikan Council
KETCHIKAN, UPI — The city
council repealed its ordinance
banning games of rummy, pan
gingi, pinochle and bingo, with
the indication that it may pave
the way for similar action by the
Alaska legislature when it meets
in Juneau next month.
While similar moves have been
started in Fairbanks, Anchorage
and other Alaska towns, so far
as city officials here can learn no
such action has been taken as was
approved unanimously by the
local council.
