Nearly 500 persons were arrested
on various charges in connection
with ration counterfeiting and theft
of valid stamps, and six counter
feiting presses were seized by OPA
agents in Nationwide operations
between last July l and May IL,
the agency announced yesterday.

the gasoline represented 3-day ma

1t added in its temporary relief Or
der that the minimum charge per
shipment on less-than-c carload ship
ments moving at class rates is in
creased from SIS to rs cents.
How long would be required to
make the permanent adjustments
ordered by the commission was
anyone's guess, but persons close
to the commission said it might
take one, two or three years. A
rate structure, they pointed out
that has grown up during the life
of railroad transportation and
which has become the most COM
plicated subject in the transporta-
ton business cannot be changed
easily or quickly.
Extensive Tests Necessary.
Although the commission has
suggested basis for establishing
the new rates, the individual items
will require study and in all prob
ability an extensive revenue test
will be necessary before revisions
become permanent.
Freight rates change constantly
through petitions of shippers, con-
ferenceS between shippers and car
riers, and as a result of ICC hear
ings. This right of shippers to re-
quest changes in particular rates
for particular items between speci-
fed points is not removed by yes
terday's decision. Only the CLASH
fications will become uniform and
the pattern of rates permanent.
Dissenting from the decision of
the l1-man commission were Claude

Several wells with initials of more

Also accounting for the increased
interest in this area is the opening
of Devonian production by the
Standard of California, less than 100
miles north of the Conrad field. This
development has led to a ire
mendous drilling program on the
southern Alberta plains but so far
