4Od Cut in Freight
On Steel Asked by
I Pittsburgh Plants
By the Associotsd Press

PITTSBURGH. Aug. "A 40 per
cent reduction in railroad freight
rates on iron and steel products
moving from the Pittsburgh area
to New York and Detroit is asked
by two United States Steel Corp.
subsidiaries.
Proposing the reduction are Car
negie- Illinois Steel Corp. and the
American Bridge Co
Benjamin r. Fairless, United
States Steel president, said the sug-
gestion was made in letter sent
yesterday to the heads Of Eastern
railroads.
In anticipation of an increasing
tendency by steel consumers to
divert shipments which formerly
moved by rail to other forms Of
transportation" Mr.. Fairless said,
''the railroads in their own interest
should favor substantial reductions
In their freight rates"
Under the old basing point pricing
system, the, steel companies ab-
sorbed the freight costs. Under the
new mill price, the customer must
pay the freight bill
Mr.. Fairless said Pittsburgh will
decline as an important steel CEN
ter "if unfair freight rates prevent
the Pittsburgh steel mills from
reaching the consuming markets
OF the country in the postwar
period"
The United States Steel head said
freight rate reductions to the New
York and Detroit areas would help
boost distribution of steel products
produced in Pittsburgh. This
production accounts for two-fifths
of overall steel production in the
United States.

Auto Purchasers Reminded
OF D. {. Title Regulations

New and used automobile pur-
chasers were reminded by Traffic
Director George E. Keneipp today
that District title regulations re-
quire them to apply for certificate
of title within five days after pur-
chasing car.
Effective August 9, all persons
who apply for a certificate of title
after five days have elapsed will be
referred to the Police.
Investigation has revealed, Mr..
Keneipp said, that many persons
drive with the previous owners Ii
cense plates and title certificates.
This is In direct violation of the law
and also deprives the District Of a
large amount of revenue, he said.
A new certificate of title must be
obtained regardless of the owners
intention of buying license plates.
A car owner may place his newly
purchased vehicle in storage and
therefore would not necessarily OBJ
tain license plates.
