Officials say the House rejection of the Minerals Subsidy Bill will push President Eisenhower to appoint a Tariff Commission to value U S import duties on lead and zinc from Australia, Canada, Mexico and other South American nations. They doubt the President will ignore at least part of the Tariff Group's recommendations and foresee higher domestic mineral demands.
