Ex-Official of Federal Department Cites Instance Of U. S. Firm's India Contract WASHINGTON.

July 3 yP) William Lavarre, former Commerce De-Department official, asserted tonight some Government officials are wiping out the foreign markets of many American firms. His statement followed an assertion of the National Association of Manufacturers that American manufacturers are losing their over-seas markets as a result of "secret trade agreements" between the United States and Great Britafh. The N. A. in its weekly pub lication, declared a manufacturer of industrial belting was cut out of an annual $200,000 to $300,000 pre war export business In India by an agreement negotiated by the Com bined Production and Resources Board, a war time agency of U.

Canadian and British representatives. The agreement, N. A. M. said, gave English manufacturers exclusive rights to markets in India.

Claim Zones Created The N. A. M. declared the board had created certain export zones for the three countries and these zones and the industries Involved were "one of Washington's most cherished secrets." Lavarre. who rseigned from the Commerce Department last February in protest against what he called "subversive" activities against American business by government agencies, said the industrial belting manufacturer was a New England concern, but he did not identify it further.

The firm, he said, shipped 000 worth of belting to India in 1943, deUvered another $179,000 worth in-the first half of 1944, but was blocked from completing additional orders for $358,000 when it was denied import and export licenses by British agents in Calcutta and U. S. officials in Washington. Charges Mail Intercepted Lavarre said the British learned of the concern's purchases of raw leather In Argentina through cen sorship "intercepts" of letters written to Argentine agents. Copies of the Lavarre said, were circulated to various Washington agencies, including the British Embassy.

As an outgrowth of this and the cancellation of the export-import licenses, Lavarre said, English man ufacturers are now trying to buy leatner from the firms Argentine sources through lend-lease arrangements. Lavarre said William L. Batt, chairman of Combined Resources Board who reportedly had denied the N. A. M.

statement, apparently "is not being informed adequately about some phases of the New Deal's foreign policy or international activities." ONE-MAN BOND DRIVE GETS EXTRA PRESSURE PHILADELPHIA, July 3 Milton Kaplan put on a little extra pressure today in his one-man war bond selling campaign.

He sells bonds to the people who ride up and down in the elevator he operates. He sells to his neighbors at lunch, his fellow passengers on trolleys, the people who cluster around store A smallish intense man with glasses and a little black mustache, Kaplan uses this sales talk: "One of my sons will never come back.

Neff of Miami. He said that he had suffered an athletic injury whUe a high school student in Indianapolis, and was ill when the time came to register in July of 1941, after the family moved to Miami.

He told reporters that sometimes he went for several days without food, because he was too weak to eat. His skin was extremely white and drawn.

He and his parents were placed under bonds of $500 eash at a U. S. commissioner's hearing. The elder Neffs pleaded not guilty to aiding and abetting in draft evasion.
