Foundries Get
Freight Relief

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Ab-
normal transportation costs may
be passed on TO consumers by
foundries under an amendment
issued to the price schedule on
steel castings, the Office of Price
Administration has announced.
The schedule was based upon de-
livered prices and adjustment TO
reflect transportation charges was
permitted only on contracts for
castings where delivery was not to
be made until six months or more
after date of contract.
The amendment, effective June
%, permits the seller TO charge
more than maximum prices in
cases where he otherwise would
be forced TO absorb abnormally
high transportation costs resulting
from dislocated tonnage shipments
needed for emergency require
ments of war effort. Without this
amendment, shipments of steel
castings for war effort would be
discouraged by abnormal and ex-
cessive freight absorption OPA be-
lieves.
Casting makers are required to
submit data to OPA when they
seek relief from abnormal trans
portation charges and TO indicate
why particular shipment is alb
normal and what its relation is to
war effort.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Joseph
Eastman. defense transportation

Advertising Federation of America
that "for a long time" no ships
had operated between the East

of transcontinental traffic made
heavy by war.
Thus far there has been no
breakdown and no serious conges-
ton in domestic transportation" "
he said. 1t has done promptly and
well all that it has been called
upon to do
Eastman said railroads had done
well but that theirs would have

In areas where gasoline is ra-

Senate @. Ks
Western Union,
Postal Merger
Say Tieup Would
Release Teletypes
for Military Use

WASHINGTON, June % (UP).
The Senate by voice vote has
passed and sent to the House
Legislation to authorize consolida-
ton of domestic telegraph COM
panies.
The legislation. which is the
outcome of lengthy hearings by
the Senate interstate commerce
committee, would authorize the
federal communications commits
sion to approve domestic mergers
upon application. But the terms of
the consolidation would be care
fully circumscribed.
Senator Ernest w. Mcfarland
Cd of Arizona. in charge of the
bill, estimated that 12,400 teletype
machines could be. released for
national defense work if Western
Union and Postal Telegraph would
merge. The latter company, he
said, has been operating on a pre-
carious financial structure for
several years.
Any merger under the bill would
have to meet the following con-
ditions:
1-Consolidated panieS
l. would have to divest them
selves of all international tele-
graph business.
C-No merger would be APP
- proved if more than one-fifth
of the stock of the consolidated
company would be owned by
aliens or representatives of a
foreign government.
C-The consolidated company
- would have TO work out eX-
change arrangements with inter-
national telegraph carriers.
All employees of the COM
panies involved in the mer-
ger, who were employed on
March l, 1871, would receive
full job position for period of
five years. Others would receive
preferential hiring status for a
five-year period and would be
granted four weeks dismissal
pay for each year of service.

viii Solve Traffic Jams

The traffic problem plagulng
large cities will be solved in the
future. says Professor Chubh.
This VIII be done by planning
cities better and bringing back
those who have deserted the
cities to live in the outskirts and
suburbs.
LET the very rich remain in
the suburbs" the Buckeye edu-
Gator insists. "But bring the
working man back TO the place
where ne works. Then there will
he no traffic problem. no con-

Professor Chubb accuses the
automobile of sending the city
jewellers TO the outskirts but
also says the automobile will
bring them back. The tire

many 10 return now and many
more will follow when the archi-
-teets have brought about more
