U S Moves Hit Czechoslovakia Economically
Washington October 3 official reports say the United States will suspend tariff concessions to Czechoslovakia and impose full duties on Czech imports. Treasury will penalize shipments from Prague without required consular certificates and the State Department notes consuls there are too busy to issue documents.

The moves come amid worsening U S Czechoslovakia relations and pay less attention to the imprisonment of AP correspondent William N Oatis.
