The Commerce Department banned U S ships and planes from carrying strategic materials anywhere in the world destined for Communist China or Soviet Europe. The order, effective immediately, covers weapons, fissionable materials, and strategic goods between any two points outside the United States, including Hong Kong and Macao. It would apply to all shipments to China, with licenses not granted, while non strategic goods to the Soviet bloc in Europe remain affected only if they reach those regions.

Wage price lids coming in any case

Washington, Dec. 8. Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle said the government plans a ceiling on prices but sees no need to freeze them now. A wage lid would accompany any ceiling, but a general 60 to 90 day freeze is unlikely due to staff and organizational limits.
