Maine Seeking More Protection In Tariff Rates WAGHINGTON. April 4—(CP) -Governcr Lewis O. Barrows of Mains today to the com- mitteo or reciprocity information for protection for the potato and fishing industries of that state. Testifying at hearings on a pro- posed trade agreement with can- ada, he predicted any concessions on potatoes would make market- ing more difficult and "increase thq relief rolls." Barrows warned any reduction in duties on fish would “ruin the industry." He charged the Canadian gov- ernment "substantially subsidized” Canadian fishermen and said this added to the difficulties faced by the Maine industry. "Our fishermen." he said, ‘have a ri ht to protection. The tariff shc d be increased." Senator McNary (Rep-Oregon). minority leader of the United States senate. sharply criticized tariff concessions on what he des- cribed as “unprotected” agricult- ural producis in the adminis- tration's reciprocal trade pro- gram. McNsry told the committee none of the agricultural items listed for concessions was in the farm bill recently passed by Con- gross. "You arc making too many con- cessions on this type of agricult- ural products," the senator said. "Why don't you single out some of the roducts which are sub- sidized n the farm bill?’ McNary opposed corrccslons on lumber, cherries and poultry (iuehec Airman Awarded Trophy UPTAWA, Apr. 4-—-(CP)-A flyer since the early 1920's and instru- menwj Ln developing air services along the north shore of the Gulf Regional Winners To l Compete At Winni- peg For Cov eted Award.

Warn or. roun wants PRIZE unvu: Government- SWEEPING ADVANCE ‘ While the centre columns swept past conquered iserlda for a frontal attack on the strongest line of Catalan defences, other corps on a widely extended flank pursued Government troops toward the sea and toward the Pyrenees. ' General Jose Moscardots troops in the far north took village after village. In the south General Gar- cia Vallnds Moorish Legionnaires sped down the natural highway made by the Ebro River to Tor- tosa, only seven miles away and looking down on the coast. But itwas General Juan Yagues hard fighting columns in the centre of the long line that were trying to deal a death blow to the Government militiamen entrench- ed behind strong fortifications on a 22-mile line east of Lerida from Balagucr to Bcrjas Blancas. Military observers have said the decisive battle of the Caialonian campaign would be fought along that line. The Government's des- perate defence of Lerlda was mainly to allow time to strengthen the BaYaguer-Bcrjas fortifications. Three-Way Offensive From Lerlda General Yague’: troops split into three columns. One drove due east on the road to Barcelona. 80 miles away. An- other struck out 1o the northeast on the road i0 the French frontier. Tire third moved to the southeast on the road to Tarragona. The Gov- ernment. line covers a'l three roads. Northeast of Madrid on the Guadalajara front the Govern- mcnt reported new successes in a counter offensive designed to rc- llevc Catalonia by forcing Gener- al Franco to divert some of his troupg to Central Spain.
