INCREASED RATES OVER THE ALASKA RAILROAD
 UNFAIR, UNNECESSARY

JUNEAU, Aug. 4. (P)-"The re- cent increases in rates on the Alaska Railroad were unfair and unnecessary. Their effect is to decrease the systems business and retard development of the coun- try," declared Congressman Mur- phy of Ohio upon arrival here Monday aboard the cutter Tahoe with other members of Congress from their trip Westward
 "The Federal government should rectify this mistake in administra- tion policy of the Alaska Railroad. Lower rates should be restored. Service is adequate in every par ticular and should be maintained.
 Neither Congress nor the h. terior Department should worry or quibble about the operating de- ficit for the Nation can afford to meet this comparatively small reficit in the interest of the Ter ritory, for ultimately, Alaska will reply manyfold."
 Murphy said he believed all members were of the same mind in this respect; all showed inter- est in Territorial appropriations and revenues.
