A. 128, C. A. D. 649), the claim at 6}{ percent under the provision in paragraph 718 (b), as modified by the Torquay Protocol to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (T. D. 52739), supplemented by Presidential proclamation (T. D. 52782), for herring, prepared or preserved in any manner, packed in airtight containers weighing with their contents not over 15 pounds each, without added oil or oil and other substances, was sustained. The items marked “B,” stipulated to consist of sprats in oil, packed in tins, similar to those the subject of Arnold Sorensin Co., Inc., et al. v. United States (38 Cust. Ct. 199, C.
