L- Tiartic in strategic goods to Russia and other Iron Curtain countries is still Ihioming along despite the Battle Act and all the elt.uts ot American authorities to stop it. All the great purls of Northwestern Fan ope are involved: Antwerp.

Nobody knows exactly how much is getting through. Efforts of the European ports have pre vented it from nourishing undis turbed. Department of Commcnr blacklisting of forwarding firms which act as lion Cm tain agents has scared many operators out of the business. Rut the absence of all official co 1 I over "transit tiaflic" has made tt impossible to check the volume and makes It certain that 1 his volume is heavy, secret Infor matioii.

It then becomes possible, sometimes, for the United Slates Government to exert pres sine on European governments or on individual firms to make them divert the cargoes. American efforts now are concentrated on a general revision of the Baicelona Convention which guarantees the "sanctity" of transit traffic. I'nder this treaty It is pot legally possible for Belgium, The Netherlands, or Germany, to in terfere with any cargo which comes to Antwerp. Rotterdam, or a North German port for transshipment to another destination. Agreements Nullified This often makes nonsense out of the agreement under which all NATO countries, plus Germany and Japan, prohibit or limit shipments or strategic and bemi-strategie goods to Communist territory.

An unscrupulous shipper simply gels a license to send a strategic cargo lo a legitimate customer somewhere in Western Europe via Antwerp or Rot terdam. Then, while the cargo is en route, he instructs a forwarding agent hete to reroute the cargo to an lion Cm tain I customer. Wheeling Robbery Trial Opens Dec. 7 $150,000 Stolen From Doctor's Home W.
