25% Emergency Rise
I'm Freight Rates Is
Made Permanent

A 1855 900 900 emergency" addi-
ton to the Nations freight bill be-
came permanent today.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission late yesterday removed the
temporary" label from the Is per
cent rate increases it has granted
since last October. 1t authorized the
railroads, domestic water carriers
and freight forwarders to weave the
boosts into their permanent inter-
state rate structure.
The order represented final action
on the railroads plea for a perma-
nent 80 per cent advance In freight
rates to meet higher wages and
other increased operating costs. In
making the emergency" advances
permanent, the ICC denied the addi-
tional S per cent which, had been
asked for long-term application.
The temporary increases, how
ever, included set ceilings for a long
list of specified commodities which
were revised in the final order, some
up. some down. The commission
said the net result would be to give
the railroads about SOS 200 900 more
annual revenue than they are now
receiving.
AS examples, protective service
charges-for such things as re-
frigeration and heating-will be
allowed to advance another 5 per
cent; freight rates on iron, steel
and related products may rise an
other cents per 100 pounds and
coal another 10 to 20 cents per ton.
But rates on citrus fruits must come
down cents per 100 and brick
cents per 100.
The commission noted that with
its new action, the total increase in
freight charges since June 80, 1916
will amount to about $3.50 O00, O0C
yeal-an advance of about A pei
cent.
The estimates were based on the
assumption that the various States
as usual, will follow the lead of the
Federal commission and apply the
interstate rates to within-S State
traffic.

succeeded Bella Miklos as premier.
Republic Proclaimed.
Hungary was proclaimed a re.
public in February, 1916, and Tidy
became it's first President. From
that time forward he was on a hot
spot. Often, Communist moves tt
get rid of him were reported. Theil
chance came in May, 1947.
The Communists raised a hue
and cry over a plot against the
republic, which they alleged was
Matched by Mr., Macy and other
Stockholders. The Soviet army OF
occupation stood by in the back
ground.
Mr.. Macy, visiting Switzerland
resigned. Lajos Dinnyes, a luke
warm Stakeholder of Leftist lean
ings, moved into the premiership
The Communists obliged Mr.. Tidy
to dissolve Parliament by decree in
July. New elections were ordered
for August.
In exile, Mr.. Macy declared Mr.
Tidy was remaining as titular head
of the country only because of Com
munist threats. He said MIR. Tidy
was threatened with expulsion to
Soviet Russia. Mr.. Tidy later de-
MED this. but an associate in Buda-

by the Russians themselves.

The British Foreign Office, report
ing on the election, said it had beer
"fairer than we feared, but not as
fair as we had hoped" The Hun

been only 10000" fraudulent votes.
The new parliament was convened

By the Associated Press

The Federal Food and Drug Ad-
ministration declared yesterday that
"siliform ampuls," an injection drug
made by the Heilkraft Medical 90. of
Dorchester. Mass, Is potentially
dangerous, and urged druggists and
the medical profession to return all
stocks of the drug to the manufac-
turer.
The agency said that while the
drug should be sterile, samples COL
lected on the market contain living
organisms. Siliform is injected by
some physicians and osteopaths in
the belief it will relieve patients
suffering from rheumatism, the
Food and Drug Administration said.

crease is authorized (for the en-
ployeS whose status was in ques-
tion). please advise the Commits
sioners of the source of revenues to
meet these obligations.
In response, the Acting Control
Ter General said: THE question
would not appear to involve mat
ter which this Office is either au-
thorized or required by law to
answer"
Budget Officer Walter Fowler
said it would cost the District S122,-

371 employees in the outside" agen-
cies whose status is still undecided
He broke the cost of the increases
down as follows:
Commission on Mental Health

Guard, IA employees, S4,620: Nationa
Capital parks, 1854 employees, S54.120;
probation system. l6 employees
$500: register of wills, al EN-
ployes, s13,53O. and the recorder OF
deeds, 81 employees, S20,l30.
Water Rent Receipts Available.
Mr.. Fowler said it would cost the
District $23100 to grant pay in
creases to the 10 employees at the
Washington Aqueduct but that such
raises would present no problem
since their salaries are paid by re-
ceipts from water rents.

day that the Controller Generals

House Recess Kills
Public Housing Bill,
Supporters Declare

Only emergency housing legis-
lation, if any at all, seemed in
sight today in the special ses-
sion of Congress.
This was the view Of housing
hackers who said that hope for
congressional action in the special
session on the long-range housing
program provided for in the Senate
passed Taft llender- Wagner bill
was virtually killed by the three
day recess taken by the House
yesterday.
The T.-E.-W. housing program
was one of the major points in the
+! legislative program President Tru-
man recommended to the special
session.
The House recess until Monday
blocked any chance of getting the
Ilong-range housing bill, with public
housing features, brought TO the
House floor before August %. Con-
gressional leaders plan to adjourn
the special session before that date,
prOpdply by August 40.
Petition Needs 63 Names.
The House Rules Committee mas
refused for months to clear the
legislation. 1t can be brought up
for action without Rules Committee
approval provided 218 members sign
a discharge petition. 3.
Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas, Democrat, of California,
said she lacked only So of the nee
essary signers of the discharge Pc
tition. But it would require at
least two weeks perhaps longer,
under the House parliamentary
rules to get consideration of the bill
after all the signatures are obtained,
and no action is possible unless the
Republican leaders hold Congress in
session longer than they now plan.
Il believe the Republican leader
ship is deliberately setting the date
for adjournment in fear that we
will complete the housing discharge
petition" Mr. Douglas said.
1t is regarded as possible that
some sort of emergency housing leg
islation will be passed while the
long-range bill is passed over.
Lenient Guarantees Suggested.
One suggested piece of iegisla-
ton would renew Title of the Ma
tional Housing Act to provide very
lenient' guarantees to builders of
rental and other types of housing
insured by the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration This section of the
act expired April 30.
Another emergency course on
housing would be to modify Title 2
of the Housing Act. This provides
less lenient terms for loans to aid
large site operations and rental
construction.
With the expiration of Title 6,
many operators have turned to Title
q for assistance in their building
enterprises. But housing officials
say that big drop in rental con-
truction is almost sure if easier loan
provisions are not passed by Con-
gress. So far, the commitments
made under Title before it expired
have helped maintain high level
of such construction.
Renewal and extension of loan
provisions of the housing act have
the backing of the real estate and
building interests.
But supporters of the long range
housing program are not agreed on
passage of emergency legislation
alone They contend it would be
inflationary without the compensat-
ing features of the long-range pro-
