TRADE WITH SOVIET
Big Cut In U.S. Restrictions (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. The. United States Commerce Department today announced more details of the number of commodities which it has removed from the list of goods which may not be sent to Soviet bloc countries by United States traders. Communist China and North Koreh are not included in the relaxation. In announcing the revised embargo lists, the Commerce Department said nothing had been removed which would add significance to Communist military strength. The department reduced its “positive list” of strategic' or scarce items forbidden to the Communists by 650 and added 30 commodities to the list. The net effect was to reduce the positive list from about 1450 items to 787.
The items removed include rubber, petroleum, steel and mineral products, ores and metals, industrial, electrical, construction and agricultural machinery, machine tools, motor vehicles, chemicals, medicinals and scientific and professional instruments. Newly placed on the forbidden list are some steam engines, coal tar products, industrial machinery, and chemicals. ,
