PRICE 5c

.sU(lUSTA. Ga. (AP)-President E,5gntu)wer Tuesday rejected a U5. tariff commission recom- niendatiou for a duty increase on mpofled groundfish fillies.

The commission. in its Oct. 12 mm,-t, had called for raising the tariff to 2.8195. cents a pound on my. fillets which have a present duty levy of its cents.

if also recommended increasing the duty to 3.75 cents a pound on llllElS which now have a tariff of

3'; cents.

The final decision was up to the president. and he decided against 3 tariff increase.

woN'r RAISE BARRIER

Eisenhower said he was "not

persuaded that. on balance. the proposcd'duty increase would con- stitute a sound step in resolving the difficulties of the domestic groundfish industry."

In reporting his action to 'the chairmen of the Senate " ce and House ways and means com- mittee. as required by law, the president in explanation said he was "reluctant to impose a bar- rier to our trade with friendly na- tions unless such action is essen- tial and clearly promising of posi- tive. productive results to the bene- fit of the domestic industry in question."

STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE

groundflsh fillets to the United States.

"My reluctance to impope such a barrier is heightened in this case because the other nations con- cerned are not.only our close friends. but their economic strength is of strategic importance to us in the continuing struggle against the menace of world com- munism."

In rejecting the tariff commis- sion's rccommendation Eisen- hower said the ya posed increase might "only further complicate" the domerir industry's basic prob ems

Eisenhower added the adminis- tration is continuing a study of the industry's problems.

Island turkey. farmers this peason will meet with considerable gompefloll in marketing their Christmas birds from a sudden im- portation of American evlscerated turkeys which are appearing in go.-mtity in many Island stores.

llon. Eugene Cullen. Mlnlllef 0' Agriculture who yesterday con- firmed this report said there has been a gradual tendency during the past year or so for the houso wife to show preference towlrd the eviscerated bird. It eliminates the fuss and mess of drawing the turkey and saves a lot of time at a busy season.

N0 EVISCERATING PLANT

Prince Edward island does not have an evtscerating plant and as a result the difficulty of marketing Island birds is accentuated by the marks from across the bor d e r which have reportedly accumulat- ed from a bumper crop in the states.

the Island grower is the fact that the housewlle's preference has turned toward the smaller bird uilh a larger breast. Most Island turkqvs are of the heavier variety and are less in demand than the smaller ones.

LIGHT DUTY

Mr. Cullen stated there was nothing to prevent American in- lteys from coming into Canada ex- cept about a three cent per pound duty. He said the Department of Agriculture sympathises sincerely with Island growers but cannot of- fer s solution for the problem at this late season of the year.

He stated that in the 0'I..eary district alone he -haalbaen told there are 11.1110 turkeys to be marketed. It is understood that Jenkins Bros. Canary at Sun- aicrslde will be able to handle I
