developments during the year would
determine whether the suspension
should be continued, or the higher
rates restored, on that date.
Expressing the opinion that pas
senger rates presented different
question from freight rates, the ma
jority said passenger traffic in re-
cent years had not borne a propor-
tionate share of the cost of railroad
operations.
Although the decision was in line
with OPA's views in the main, the
ma jority rejected the OPA's conten-
ton that the Emergency Price
Control and the Sterilization Acts
modify or amend the provisions Of
the Interstate Commerce Act"
Our duty" the majority said, "is
to determine rate structure that
will meet the requirements of the
national transportation policy and
the other governing provisions of
the Interstate Commerce Act"
Defense Transportation Director
Joseph B. Eastman, who ordinarily
takes no part in the commission S
decisions, broke a SIS deadlock by
voting to suspend the freight rates
Lining up with him were Commits
sioners Aitchison. Lee, Mahafie

action were Commissioners ALL

Park View Citizens Plan
To Seek Cut in Bus Fare

Members of the Park View Citi-
zens' Association last night called on
their president, B. J. Kroger, to call
a mass meeting within the next
month to protest changes in bus
service in their neighborhood.
A proposal, it was said, will be
made at the meeting for reduction
of bus fares. 1t was complained that
one line had been eliminated, that
other buses continue on an express
basis from Grant Circle through
their area. Under changes ordered
in the last few weeks by the Public
Utilities Commission, the buses, it is
said. are only permitted to discharge
passengers at New Hampshire and
Georgia avenues in the downtown
trip.
Following receipt of a letter from
Clark Griffith, president of the
washington ball club, the group
voted support of continuing all
athletic activities in public schools
as long as no transportation by cars
or special buses was involved. 1t
also was voted that the association
would extend every possible aid to
cleanup week." which will be OBJ
served from April 18 to "a.
The meeting, held in the Park
View School, was presided over by
+. l.. Hahn, vice president.

lowed in general the line that the
railroads after lean years were en-
titled now to improve their fnan-
cial position and needed also addi-
tional funds for improvement of the
transportation system.
Observing that the war may last
several years, with increasing strain
on the transportation system, Mr.
Porter said. TT seems to me ill
advised to take away from our trans
port companies, as is done by the
majority here, about $500, 900 900 an
nually in freight revenue which may
shortly be badly needed in order to
insure adequate service. ="
Although issued yesterday, the
commissions decision was dated
April s. Thus it was arrived at
before President Roosevelt's execu-
tive order of last Thursday asking
that rate regulatory bodies prevent
increases and, where possible, make
reductions.

Ice Cream Shortage
Seen This Summer
Dairy Association Chief
Coils Product Essential
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April ia severe
shortage in ice cream may develop
this summer unless manufacturers
quotas are increased, D. +. Carlson
of Willmar, Mimi, president of the
American Dairy Association, said to-
day.
Production has been limited by
the Government to 65 per cent of
last years output, he explained,
and this may prove to be an excep-
tionally heavy cut, since 1912 was q
cool year and consumption COM
paratively light.
I'VE may get real hot summer
this year." Mr.. Carlson said. IF we
do, and particularly If we get a
hot May, a lot of people will have
to 60 without ice cream"
He argued the ice cream industry
should be maintained, because it
makes an essential food, particularly
for adults who do not drink milk.
A. proposal that ice cream manu-
facturers be given more generous
quotas was one of the subjects
scheduled for discussion today at
the annual meeting of the associa-
ton, which claims to represent
most of the Nations 5000, 900 dairy
farmers.
Owen Richards, association gen.
eral manager, reported there was
strong sentiment in favor of chang
ing the point rationing system that
now, he said, had cheese, butter and
other fats competing for points with
meats.
He said it was the general opin-
ion of the dairy industry that but
ter and cheese should be rationed
in the same way that sugar is, so
that a housewife would have so
many points for these products.
Action by delegates from IS
States, he said, might result in a
direct request for a change in the
Governments point rationing sys-
tenn.

Rail Rate Increase
Aid to Anti-InfIution
Drive Seen; Passenger
Fares Not Affected
BY the Associated Press.

BY lne Associated Press.
In a move hailed by the Office OF
Price Administration as an assist
Rnce in the battle against imitation
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ruled yesterday that traffic in
creases have raised railroad earn
ings enough to render unnecessary
the freight rate increases authorized
year ago to offset higher wages
granted rail workers by presiden-
tial Mediation Board
The commissions 6-to-5 suspen-
sion of the increases, averaging A.
per cent, goes into effect May Is.
Announcement of the suspensions
was accompanied by commission
refusal to change standard passenger
fares which, with the Communication
fares, were increased 10 per cent on
February 10, 1912. The majority held
that a reduction in passenger fares
would tend to encourage travel
which is unnecessary and unrelated
to the prosecution of the war;
Major Victory for OPA.
In decision representing a major
victory for the OPA, which had
fought the increases, the commission
also revoked, effective May Is, a
10 per cent increase in Communication
fares, but ordered further hearings
on whether this revocation should
stand.
In many cases, OPA officials in
dicated. the lower freight charges
will avert the necessity of increasing
prices of some manufa ctured prod
ucts whose costs have gone up. In
others, it was said, the decision may
be reflected in actually lower prices.
On the question of freight rates,
the commission majority took the
view that earnings had so increased
as a result of a larger volume of
traffic that the freight rates and
charges so reduced will be just and
reasonable y"
Income Increase Cited.
Net operating income of Glass
carriers, it was brought out, was
81, ,481 100000 (after deductions for
taxes in 1912 compared with $685.
G00,000 in 1941. The major part of
this increase, the majority said, was
due to greater traffic rather than
the higher rates.
A summary of evidence said rev.
enue received from the increases
was 1926, ASS 900 from freight rates.
1886 900 from accessorial charges.
