'Snowbound' Operations

More than 100000 persons re-

Summarizing activities of the

in disaster areas on both sides of
the Rockies, Mr.. Royal said that,
in addition to the persons aided in
the Plains States, additional thou
sands, including Indians on reser-
vations, were given assistance in

Other activities of the snow

Senate Subcommittee
Favors LegaIizing Of
Basing Point System
BY the Associated Press

A Senate committee told Con-
gress today that outlawing of the
so-called basing point pricing sys-
tenn would boost prices for many
consumer products and possibly
threaten military security.
In a move to legalize that pric-
ing method beyond any question
a special trade policies unit Of the
Senate Commerce Committee in
dorsed a bill designed to permit
such pricing in cases where there
is no conspiracy to fix prices.
But the trade subcommittee rec
commended that no action be taken
pending further study. 1t urged
that Congress act speedily On
pending legislation which would
block the Federal Trade Commis-
sion for two years from taking
any action to ban the baSing point
system.
Maker AbsOrbs Freight
Under that system, a manufac-
turer charges a buyer hundreds of
miles away the same price he
charges a buyer located nearby
In other words, the producer pays,
or absorbs, the higher freight
charges for delivery to far
away point and then takes that
into account in setting a uniform
price for his product.
Last April, the Supreme Court
held that there was conspiracy
in the cement industry to fix
prices in violation of the anti
trust laws. The court upheld a
ETC ban against the industry's
basing point pricing system.
The language used by the court
has been widely interpreted as
casting doubt on the legality of
the basing point method in any
industry, even where no consplr-,
acy exists.
F. o. B. System Now.
AS a result of the court rulings,
the cement and the steel indus
tries adopted what is known as the
t. o. b. free on board mill pricing
method. Under that system the
buyer pays the actual freight
charge. Hence, those near the
source of supply pay less than
those far away
The Commerce Subcommittee
report today says competition
heretofore characteristic of bust
ness" cannot continue under the
+. O. b. mill pricing policy. 1t adds:
The reduction of this competi-
tive urge will doubtlessly result in
higher costs, which the local sup
plier will pass on in higher prices
to the consumer in his freight ad-
vantage market"
Another argument is that the
mill price system would tend to
concentrate industry in areas near
the source of supply, where favor
able freight rates would apply.

Let's Keep Out Dixiecrats!

The Congress will probably adjourn this week. It has

Actually, the "Democratic' 81st Congress iber-

Republicans in speech and in action They followed the
Republican hunting horn and bayed with the Republican
