The State Department dlsclosed| the action today. President Truman took the step at the directio nof Congress, which has sought to deprive Communist areas of all American trade bene- fits. The State Department said goods from Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland will be affected once the necessary time for notifi- cation elapses. Exports from Communist Czecho- slovakia, Red China, Eastern Ger- many, Eastern Berlin, also will be hit along with goods that might be shipped from Albania, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, any parts of Korea and Indochina under Com- munist control. The Kurile Islands, outer Mongolia, South Sakhalin Is- land and Tanu Tuba. The President’s action means that duties of goods from Communist countries will revert to the rates charged in 1930 before the U.
