 PRESENTS DATA
 ON RATE ISSUE

There has been no data so far offered by the carriers, the VISA CT the OPA on the basis of which, up to this time, any substantial change in rates can be justified, was a statement made by Donald J. O'Connor. OPA Price Executive for Territories and Possessions--at the current Washington hearings cn the Alaska freight rate issue.
 From April 1943 until March 1946, when he was promoted to Regional Price Executive of all the Territor- ies. Mr. O'Conncr was Alaska Price Executive in charge of all price matters in the Territory. It was while in this position that he in- stigated the Alaska OPA's extensive program to combate tEe threat of a drastic increase in shipping rates to the territory. O'Connor and his staff, including George Rogers who has since been named to succeed O'Connor as Alaska Price Exscu- tive, worked together in preparing the 21 exhibits of statistics and economic analyses which he, as Re- gicnal Price Executive, presented at the hearings
 Some of the exhibits dealt with such pertinent factors as: estimated 1946 freight traffic figures as sub mitted by Alaska businessmen at OPA's request; civilian and military population changes; post-war needs of the territory for building ma terials; relation of present freight costs to the final acquisition costs of representative goods; comparison of current Seattle and Alaska re- tail prices; and analyses of shop ping companies balance sheets and profit and loss statements to point out fallacies in the premises upon which they based their claims for higher rates.
 In summarizing OPA's presenta- ticn at the hearings, O'Connor stated in part: We take the posi- tion that the present rates to Alas ka are already too high in com parison with those in effect on somewhat comparable routes, that some of them are higher than what the traffic should bear The OPA also takes the position that the central and strategic consideration of this hearing should not be rates but realistic consideration of the, postwar traffic conditions of Alas

Thanks to Johnny Schmitz, a left handed giant from Wausau, Wis consin, the Chicago Cubs aren't cousins" to the St. Louis Cardin- als any more.
 Failure of the Bruins to beat the Red Birds mere than six times in p meetings last season almost cost Charley Grimm pennant. Th2 Cubs may not repeat as National League champ, but it's cineh they will better their own record against St. Louis with Schmitz doing the bulk of the work.
 Chicago has split even in six starts against the Cardinals with Schmitz earning two of the decis- ions, his latest being Al job in yesterdays only National League contest. St. Louis reached the lean southpaw for only five hits.
 Ted Lyons regime as Chicago White Sox manager continued to produce successes as the Pale Hose reeled off third straight triumph for the veteran pitcher, trimming St. Louis 9-2.
 Rain forced pcstponement until tonight of the highly -publicized Yankee stadium night ball debut. Washington will be the attraction with a crowd of almost 10000 ex- pected.

 Night Games
(pY ruE Assoc1ArEp pREssl

Aside from the Oakland Acorns' winning Il of the ,13 games in their last two series, their hold on the Pacific Coast Baseball League lead can be traced partly to the San Francisco Seals lapse into errors and recent lack of punch at the plate when most needed.
 The Acorns emerged from their postponed series wind-up with the Portland Beavers last night in a doubleheader split, Portland taking the first, 3 to 0, and Oakland a nightcap slugfest, IA to 6. to main tain their game and a half margin over the second-place Seals. The rest of the clubs of the circuit were idle.
 The pace-setting Oaks have an other hay making opportunity this week, opening today against sev- enth-place Seattle, while fifth ranking Hollywood opposes San Francisco in the two clubs first meeting of the season. Sacramento plays the Portland cellar -dwellers, and San Diego takes on the some what faded Angels of Los Angeles.

Arnold Line Operators
MAY Vote on Strike

w. D. Homer. counsel for the
union representating the operators
of the Washington, Virginia and
Maryland Coach Co.. said today the
members are very dissatisfied" and
he believes they will vote to strike
for the full II cents an hour wage
boost agreed on by arbitrators.
A 48-hour truce expires at mid
night tomorrow. The truce was
agreed on to await the outcome of
an appeal filed by the Executive
Committee of the union-Division
1919. Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employes-with the Wage
Sta bilization Board after the board
had slashed the wage increase to 8
cents.
H. H. England, secretary treas
urer of the company, known also
as the Arnold-operated bus sys-
tenn, declared AL the operators who
have talked with ME seem satisfied. -
He said he did not think a strike
will be called.
Mr. Homer said he saw three pos
sobilities to forestall the strike
threat: Granting by the manage
ment of the IL cents increase; re-
sumption of arbitration by the
three-man panel or reconsideration
by the WSB of the entire wage
question,
