But fishing industry spokesmen say the red tide, which can cause death to humans who eat contaminated shellfish, was seen by consumers as a general bogey-man.

Hook said one Boston area restaurant that has been his steady customer and usually orders 1,800 to 2,000 lobster's every Friday is an example of the crunch on business. "Ist Friday," Hook said, "he took 200." Wholesaler John Del Torchio said the whole industry is operating chaotically "We don't know what to look forward to." He said his firm was paying fishermen 45 to 60 cents a pound for haddock when the red tide ban on shellfish was announced.

Then the demand for haddock fell off and the price fell to 27 cents. The fishermen quit fishing. Now, he says, the price to fishermen is back up to 50 cents a pound, but there still is no fishing and dwindling stocks are driving up retail prices in one Gloucester market from $1.59 at the time of the ban to $1.79 on Thursday. And a clerk in the market said business still was abuit half what it was two weeks ago.

On Thursday the price was $1.69. Charles Fields, owner of New England Ixbster Co. in Rock-port, said his business was off about 50 per cent. He said retailers he deals with have dropped the price of lobster to as low as 99 cents a pound in some cases. Emanuel Celler Four constitutional amendments are among the 300 bills he guided through the House, most of them in his capacity as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, a position he has held for a record 22 years.

Sitting in his office after Thursday's announcement, Celler said he is planning to resume the active practice of law, to teach in a new college in New York City, and to continue activities on behalf of Israeli and Jewish charities. "There may be wrinkles in my face but there are none in my brain," he said. Such aphorisms adorn Celler's conversation and have become part of the lore of the House. "You never roll up your pants until you come to the river." he tells those who seek to learn his legislative strategies. chowder." Peter Maistrellis, manager of Ipswich Shellfish said of the famed Ipswich clams to all sections of the nation have been slowed.

When Celler, a devoted cigar smoker, said he would indeed like a cigar, Coolidge summoned a servant and had him bring over a box of cheap cigars from the corner of the room. Celler was an ardent champion of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, but refused to support his plan to enlarge the Supreme Court.

"The White House tried tickling my toes and then twisting my arm," said Celler, "but I could not go along with such interference with the Supreme Court by any president. I was never invited to the White House again." Celler showed that he has not forgiven either. Asked his favorites among the presidents with whom he has served, he named John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Harry Truman.

"What about FDR?" he was asked. After a long silence lie puffed on his cigar and said, "any other questions''" "It really did a job on us!" said Joseph A. Milano, co-owner of Boston's 147-year-old Union Oyster House, where Daniel Webster once was a steady customer. Milano said his business probably was off 60 per cent at the worst point and still hasn't fully recovered. During the sales ban, he said, "it was the first time in 147 years this es "Even the sun has its spots and the rose its thorns," he says in defending an unpopular provision that he has accepted as the price for passage of a bill.

A master of compromise in the interests of the larger goal, Celler frequently finds himself supporting propositions that he has opposed at other times in his long tenure in the House. But to the charge that he is being inconsistent, he replies: "Consistency is a stagnant pool that breeds reptiles in the mind." The pictures of the nine presidents who have occupied the White House since Celler has been in Congress decorate his office wall, and except for Warren G. Harding, who died in 1923 Celler's freshman year all figure prominently in his reminiscences. He recalls a White House visit that indicates the legendary parsimony of Calvin Cooidge was not just a legend. During the course of his visit, Celler says, "the president reached down and opened a drawer in his desk, took out a box, opened it and took out a fine, fat Havana cigar.

President Nixon declared the coast a disaster area Thursday and the Small Business Administration and the Office of Emergency paredness began gearingup to see what they can do to rescue hard-pressed fishing firms. Prices for shellfish affected by the ban as well as species which have been declared safe from red tide poisoning have "skidded, for fishermen as well as wholesalers and retailers. "They've cooked it completely," said Al Hook, a partner in the lobster firm of James Hook Co. "Our business has fallen off 60 to 70 per cent." It is worse in other places, such as the picturesque fishing town of Gloucester, where an estimated 70 per cent of the residents depend on the sea for a living.

The original ban applied to all soft-shell and hard-shell clams, to mussels and to scallops, lobsters, oysters, crabs, shrimp and fin fish were all declared safe. Scallops and hardshell clams were later removed from the ban in effect in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. The bah on soft-shell clams and mussels remains in effect, but starting Saturday some areas in southeastern Massachusetts will be opened for the digging of species affected by the red tide. In addition, state authorities have cleared for retail sales some shellfish which could harbor red tide toxin, after We WASHINGTON (AP) -After 50 years in Congress, Rep. Emanuel Celler, is bowing out, declining a last chance to reverse his defeat in a primary election last June.

The 84-year-old Brooklyn-born dean of the House said Thursday that he will not campaign for re-election, even though his name will be on the ballot in November as the, nominee of the Liberal party. Celler offered his congratulations to Elizabeth Holtzman, the 30-year-old lawyer who produced the thin-margin upset in the Democratic primary. In the heavily Democratic district, her election Nov. 7 is assured. Only one man, retired Rep.

Carl Vinson of Georgia, served longer in the House than Celler. Vinson topped Celler's 50 years by two months. Celler's departure when the 92nd Congress adjourns will end one of the most remarkable careers in the history, of the House of Representatives.

Millions of crickets invaded Newport for the second straight night Thursday, covering streets, sidewalks and pouring into business in the downtown area.

No one seems to know why or where the insects came from.
