PASSENGER AND FREIGHT

On October 1o, 1887, the lnterstatG

exceptions the petition of the carriers for
certain revisions in freight rates which
should yield the railroads Of the country
approximately $5o,ooo,ooo per annum.

GRADE CROSSINGS
Cost Of grade crossing climinationA
which are 50 closely identified with high
way transportation growth, continues to
be heavy burden upon the railroads. In
the early days Of grade crossing elimination
by the railroads, the elimination Of crossing
danger was the controlling factor, but in
the present era that is an incidental factor,
as crossing climinations for many years
have been made primarily to expedite high
way movement. Highways and superhigh'
ways are constructed with public fundS
and the same authority that is responsible
for their building should be responsible for
the grade crossing eliminations.
LEGISLATION
The necessity for constructive national
transportation policy including relief from
costly, wasteful and unnecessary national
and state legislation such a. excess crew
and train limit laws, continues to be one Of
the most important problems confronting
the country. The railroads Of the country

SEA TURNS RED
AS TINY BUGS
SWARM WATER

LA JOLLA, Cal, June 13. (UP)--
The waters of the Pacific ocean
off here and San Diego were turn
ing red today.
Scientists on the staff of the
Scripps Institution of Oceano-
graphy said it is phenomena
known as red water"-A condi-
ton caused by the presence of mil
lions of microscopic organisms.
When punched together these
organisms, which, are less than
100Oth of an inch in size, give the
sea bloodred color.
From where the organisms come
no one knows, the scientists said.
Since 1900 they have appeared
six times off the coast, in 1901,
1907, 1917, 1924, 1888 and again
this year.
Fishermen have reported pres
ence of the red water" as far off
shore as the Coronado Islands, and
blame poor fishing conditions on
the strange organisms.

The Sudeten German minority
party claimed 90 per cent support
by the German element in yester-
days balloting, last Of a series OF
three. The party held that the al
most solid vote gave Konrad Hen
lein, German minority leader, the
right to speak for the Germans as
q whole in his demand for auto
nOmy.
But the situation was compli-
Gated because both Czech and Slo-
