Less Than You Think f!

AWestern politician has been getting considerable
publicity on his recent statement that: "The public
generally is unaware of the terrific burden that trans
portation costs place on the prices of commodities,
especially foods"
How much more do the railways get from you as
the result of freight rate increases since before World
War Two? Not as much you think-in pro-
portion to present day prices for what you
buy or sell!
Since January 1947 the Interstate Commerce
Commission has authorized railways to put into
eject freight rate increases totaling 81 per cent
the only permanent advances since early 1888.
However, because of specified exceptions, only 49,
per cent of the total increase has been aPPIi-
cable to Great Northern territory.
Appearing below are examples of commodities and
articles commonly bought and sold in Great North
en- territory Where it is something purchased, the
total increases in transportation costs on it from
permanent advances in rates since 1888 are shown
from common source of supply to one of the most
distant points on the Great Northern in Montana.
Where it is something produced and shipped, total
increases of freight charges are shown from the
most distant point on the railway IN Montana to
market where it usually is sold.
SUIT OF cLoTHEs-FrOm fifteen and siEht-tsnths
to twenty one and Ons-tenth cents from Chicago
oVERALLS-FrOm three and thTss-fOurths to seven
and ons-half cents per pair from Chicago
SHOES-Froua four and ssven-tsnths to seven cents

FRESH MEAT-one and sight-tenths cents per pound

SUCAR-one and One-haf cents per 5-POund sack

Considering prices paid and received for
those commodities and articles today as com
pared with 1888, the factor of railway trans
portation costs obviously is substantially Iess
than "a terrific burden!
It must be kept in mind that there were no per
manent increases in rail freight rates from March
1898 through December 1916. Yet, in the past II
years prices Of goods generally have risen 100 per
cent Railway wages have risen 1Oo per cent, payroll
taxes 90 per cent and fuel supplies and materials
costs 100 per cent in that period.

George Washington Univer-
sity's gridmen head south
again tomorrow to keep a date
with Virginia Techs Gobblers
at Blacksburg, Va, Saturday.
Coach Bo Rowland's squad will
stop at Roanoke, where field
headquarters will be estab-
lished, arriving in time for a
workout.
The Colonials, who have lost
three games in a row, will be
meeting a team that hasn't won
any of its last IA starts. The
Gobblers' closest approach to a
victory was TT tie last year
with Richmond.
George Washington will rely
chiefly on the running and
passing of Andy Davis to get
it into the win column. but
Rowland isn't looking for a
pushover. He points out that
Tech has a good passer in Dick
Goodman and a long-distance
punter in Bob Gilley, a COM
bination that can cause lot
of trouble. The c.. w. mentor
believes that when Tech does
click it'll run roughshod over
somebody and he hopes it isn't

|C.U. Eleven Is Warned

Information against Catholic Uni
versity Saturday at Brookland and
Coach Jan Jankowski has warned
the Cardinals to be ready for an
explosion. The c. U. mentor. after
looking over Yellow Jacket scout
reports, thinks they're due for a
high scoring game.
Bill Barrett, who tossed the pass
that beat Catholic last year. 20-13,
at Randolph Macon, is back and
is. surrounded by wealth of vet
eran material. The Virginians
have 18 ,lettermen and probably
will send an all-veteran team out
for the opening kickoff.
We've seen them play and
know what they can do," Jankow-
ski said today, land we'll have to
show our best to hold them.
Randolph-Macon went out of its
class in it's earlier games, but it
didn't look bad in any Of them.
It's a fighting team that plays out
the full go minutes and, as Bob
Margarita Of Georgetown pointed
out this week, that kind of team
Is dangerous.
Coached by Paul Davis, former
Pittsburgh Steeler star, the
Jacket have the size and speed
to make the T work. They have
a 245-pound tackle in Bill Prout,
for example, and another seal
ing a mere 210. Their two mono
gram guards, Marvin Garbett ard
Wheeler Stanf1eld, weigh 200 and
180, respectively. Stanf1eld COMES
from nearby Washington Lee
High School.
The Jackets have only two ends
under 6 feet. Jankowski says that
height means the team will be a
constant threat in the airways,
particularly If Barrett is in form.
The Cardinals, however, are
buoyed by improved individual
performances in scrimmage this
week and are hoping to give the
District another upset college vic
tory. Jankowski. impressed by the
work Of several rockies, is tinker
ing with the idea Of revamping
his lineup. but if he makes none
all the boys nevertheless are Ger
tain to see plenty of action.

By ne Assoeiotsd pfsss

BOSTON, Oct. -. Waivers,
"for the purpose Of giving him his
unconditional release" have been
asked by the Boston Braves for
jeff Heath, veteran. hard hitting
outf1elder.
The Braves, who announced the
move just before midnight. said
the waiver period would be up
today, but that Heath is under no
compulsion to report to any major
league club which might wish to
pick him up for the nominal fee
OF 81.
Because he is veteran Of 10
years in the majors Heath is free
to deal with any club.
General Manager John Quinn
said he talked by phone with
Heath who is at home in Bow,
Wash, and offered him a minor
league manager job in the Boston
system.
Heath asked for time to think

Small but P|ucky GoI|oudet Gridiron Squad
Given Chance to Beat Bridgewoter in Opener

Gallaudet makes no claim to
being a world beater at football
even in the little Mason Dixon
Conference. But as a matter OF
giving students there the same
kind of well-rounded education
and program they'd get at any
other college, the Blues are field
ing a team again this year that
they hope will make at least a
respectable showing.
Football at Gallaudet works un-
der a number of handicaps.
First, it isn't a school with large
enrolment and Coach Tom Clay
ton has only about Is men on his
squad, Then too most of the
athletes are deaf and mute, max
ing instruction more difficult and
requiring more time than at other
schools.
Even calling signals present a
difficulty. The way they work it
at Gallaudet is for the quarter
back to call the play with sign
language in the huddle and then
have a signal for the ball snap.
Other players have to watch for
the snap before starting their
charge instead of getting that
fraction of a second jump usual
when all players can hear the
