FREIGHT RATES ON
 RADIO SETS JUMP
Increase Will Be Fifty Per Cent
 in Some Cases

Washington, Aug. 20 R)-Eadio receiving sets acquired a definite place in railroad freight schedules and became subject to higher freight rates in decision today by the in tcrstate commerce commission,
 The decision increased the rates on radio sets and talking machines com. bined in less than carload lots from the first class rate to li2 times the first class rate. In many cases the increase in this respect would be 50 per cent,
 When shipped in carload lots the increase would be about 20 per cent
 The commissions decision held that the present practice of shipping radio sets and talking machines combined as second class with a minimum weight of 1G,000 pounds per carload should remain un- changed,
 The case was brought before the commission when carriers published new freight schedules generally rals- ing the radio classification.
 Operation of the schedule was sus- ncndod upon protest of the radio corporation of Ameroca, the radio manufacturers association of Chi- cago. the music industries Chamber of Commerce and others. Today's decision ordered these new sched' ucs cancelled and required the rail roads to publish new schedules whicl i would conform with the commls 1 cion's requirements.
 Radio receiving sets heretotor' 1 have been shipped as electric appll onces and musical instruments.
