Scarcity Cf Croundfish

WASHINGTON. Jan. iii — (AP) — The United States today aaid that "the general scarcity of groundfish on the New England ,banks has not been disastrous to lAmcrlcas fishing industry only be- cause of the vory high prices be- ing paid for iish."

If an increase in meat supply should cause fish prices to drop. lUllliéCi States delegates to the I0- icouniry northwest fisheries con- lei-once (old a reporter, “The value of the United States groundlish landings, ii they remain at. the present low level. may be so small as to have serious financial effect upon the domestic industry.“

The delegates aaid the ulter- tratvl, backbone of the United States fleet, is fishing for valuable bottom-living fishes. ‘This type of fish will become virtually non-ex- istent if present policies continue. Lhcy said.

One delegate said:

"in an effort to continue bring- ing in haddock to satisfy the large demand. tho industry has been forced to resort to fishing for immature and baby fish. This de- velopment is extremely unfortunate. for although admittedly it is in- creasing the present catch to a certain extent, it is seriously de- creasing the potential production

"Fishing for roseiish has been veiy heavy in recent years. The abundance oi this fish has been gradually reduced to a. point where United States vessels have to steam much farther from port in order in find commercial quantities. Five years ago. the bulk oi the catch of rosofish was taken with- in 150 miles of Gloucester and Boston. in ilie Gull of Maine and South Channel.

Oil’ the ration from tomorrow on. he said. will be suits, Jackets. trousers. overcoats, costumes and woven ‘wool dresses. The only gar- ments or woven cloth still ration- ed will be of gabardine and light fabrics which he called "dayella tyne."

shirts. handkerchiefs. bath towels. infants‘ clothing, knitted woollen goods and most bod-sheets. Today's announcement held most interest for men. who have complained their six-month allot-

ment of 24 clothing coupons wouldn't even buy one suit, while women could clothe themselves? for less.

A man's suit has been 26 coup. ons, a woman's dress 1a.

First reaction from storekeepers was that "money will be the nat- ural rationer now."

There had been hope the Min- ister mlght eliminate all clothes rationing. However. he explained that cotton and some other cloth la required in quantity for export markets.
