DR.. Sander wore a double breasted

At the defense counsel table

used in event of an enemy attack.
He discussed the situation after

the establishment of an alter

suggestions in the past, especially
from Senator Wiley. Republican,

Publishers Protest
Rates for Shipping
Papers by Express
By the Associoted Press

The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association protested to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
today that rates charged by the
Railway Express Agency, Inc, FOR
transporting newspapers were toe
high.
Representing TIT newspapers in
this country, Canada, Alaska and
Hawaii. the association asked that
the company be required to put
into force rates which would be
"just, reasonable and otherwise
lawful"
A number of members, the pc
tition said, ship newspapers by
express in interstate commerce. 1t
said newspapers are transported.
for example, by express from New
York to Tennessee, Virginia, North
Carolina. Minnesota and ouler
States and from Chicago to Ore
gon, North Carolina, Texas, Ken
lucky and Kansas.
Transportation of newspapers
requires a minimum of service in
contrast with other traffic, the
association said.
1t cited that no pickup and
delivery services are performed |
by the express company and said
the company assumed no respon-
sibility for loss and damage to
newspapers.
The complaint also argued:
The newspapers are securely |
wrapped and tied in convenient
bundles for easy handling. No
special precautions are necessary.
They may be loaded in whatever
way is convenient to the express
company. Newspapers cannot
contaminate or damage. other
shipments with which they come
in contact.
Moreover" the complaint con-
tinued, 'it is desirable in the pub
lie interest that news be widely
disseminated and that to this end
the charges for the transportation
of newspapers shall be such as to
permit and encourage their ship
ment freely throughout the coun-
try"
The association said the Rail-
way Express charges are excessive
in relation to the service per-
formed and relatively high COM
pared with those charged for
transportation of other commod-
tiles,
