Unless steps are taken to curb the flood of imported seafood, the fishermen say, the American shrimping industry will be driven to bankruptcy. U.S. Reps. John Breaux and W.J. Billy Tauzin, both D-La., held a public hearing Friday to get opinions from interested parties on the effects of the American Shrimp Industry Development Act. Breaux, chairman of the Sub committee on Fisheries and Wild life Conservation and the En vironment, sponsored the bill which will impose a five-year quota and a 30 percent tariff on all imported shrimp. Breaux and Tauzin contend the federal government needs to save the troubled shrimping industry, weakened by cheap imported shrimp which has taken a large bite out of the American market. Breaux believes the flood of foreign shrimp into this country is hurting U.S. shrimpers and the ideral government must take Sqps to limit the amount of im puted shrimp. hrimpers say the bill will in- cre< e the price they get for shrup and help offset higher fuel costs thereby saving them from certa» bankruptcy. “Gie us 10 years in the present squeei and 90 percent of our shrimpvill be coming from fore ign souses,” warns Charles H.

Inadequate force cause of stabbing Astrodome security chief quits United Press International HOUSTON — The Astrodome security chief quit his job Friday, saying stadium management’s re fusal to bolster security for the Rolling Stones concert was con trary to his principles. Police Lt. Bill Sanders, who worked off duty as the stadium’s security chief, said he made his decision after Houston Sports Association officials refused to put more police officers in the Astro dome for the Stones’ second con cert despite a fatal stabbing the night before. Wesley Shelton, 22, was fatally stabbed at the first performance.
