Newspapers and importers of news- print, lumber and other forest products today won their fight to rrevent regu- lation being promulgated requiring that such imports be accompanied by con- sular invoices. Secretary Mellon ruled that, effective July 1, forest products, standard news- print paper, pulp wood and wood pulp, agricultural products, crude or unmanu- factured; crude minerals and live de mestic animals could be im) d with- out consular invoices and the necessary payment of a $2.50 fee for each invoice. tion arose several months ago after the Customs Bureau had ruled that all articles imported on the free list and on specific duty rates would not be required to be accom- panied by consular invoices. The Com- merce Department, the Narcotic Bureau and other divisions of the Government sought to have the invoice required with all imports so every shipment could be traced back to its original source. Representatives of newspapers and newsprint importers protested to the Customs Bureau that to require the in- voice on shipments of paper and wood products from Canada vo;xld greatly in- crease the expenses of newspapers. They sald the Canadian shippers would pass the cost of the consular invoice on %o _the buyer in this country. Burlington FHotel 1120 Vermont Avenue N.W.
