Baltimore, Md-More than 100,-
600 Negro servicemen have made
use of the USO clubhouse here in
the past year, according to Fred
Johnson, club director. This num-

have been guests of the club.
Mr.. Johnson attributes much of
the popularity of the club to the
fine cooperation it has received
from the community which freely
extends home hospitality to the
men, and makes special plans for
them on holidays. The churches
too have been of invaluable assist
ance through the Religious Empha-

successful features of the commit

Group. Servicemen list their spec

RAILROADS:
Government Rates

In exchange for the grant of land
for right-of-ways to the railroads
during the expansion period of 1850
1870, the government received re-
ductions of so per cent on passenger
and freight rates.
Amended in 1910 to apply only to
military goods and personnel follow
ing railroads complaints against the
heavy burden of relief shipments
especially during the depression Pc
riod, total abolition of the reduced
rates came before congress, with
the house approving by a 1856 to 16
vote.
Although termination of the re-
duced rates would increase railroad
revenues by more than $50 million
dollars annually in wartime and 20
million dollars yearly in peacetime,
the house bill calls for scaling down
private shipping rates to reflect the
higher income from government.
