Revising the rates has been a tremendous undertaking under Bohons supervision.
 Rates on The Alaska Rail road are not out of line at all, :" Bohon said in commenting on the new increase. But there seems to be no relations as to the rate and what the product sells for in Anchorage"
 Johnson said that the increase planned for next month is an interim emergency increase and any inequities that become ap parent will be corrected in the revised permanent rate revision forthcoming.

 chorage and SITS to Fairbanks. The rate has been reduced to 30 cents on 100 pounds to An chorage and to SIPS to Fair banks.
 Referring to his statements before Congress, concerning re- ducing operating expenses as a result of railroad rehabilitation, Johnson said a general tapering off of prices was expected dur ing the planning stage
 Improvements resulting from the program have reduced ex penses considerably-in the face of rising costs-and postponed the necessity for tariff increase by several years" during the postwar inflationary period.
 After World War I the costs and economy of the nation be- came more stable If wage rates and material prices were the same now, as at the beginning of the railroads rehabilitation program in 1947, a redutcion of 30 per cent in freight rates would have been made
 Rehabilitation also resulted in the continuation of the rail road in Alaska" he said. Fol lowing the end of World War II, it was a case of rehabilitation or abandon the line as being too delapidated and unsafe"
 Restrictions by the Coast Guard on high tariff explosives and ammunition which deprived the railroad of that traffic was also blamed by the general man. ger for a loss of railroad reve- nue.
 In response to charges by local merchant that pilferage is excessive on The Alaska Rail road, Johnson said there is little, if any, pilferage while the railroad handles freight"
 mere IS pllterage aOOafd ships, en route to Alaska, and at the unloading dock, but once freight goes into cars and is sealed the loss is negligible Wherever damage or loss occurs in transit, claims are paid mcr- chants in full"
 The proposed new rate sched- ule in course of preparation will not be a 'shot in the dark ar rangement, but carefully plan ned adjustment supervised by a tariff expert. He is w. J. Bohon, former chairman of the North Pacific Freight Tariff Bureau, who stepped out of re- tirement to aid the railroad

 A Russian peasant, who claims to be 140 years old, is still active and able to do his work. It is possible, though, that he is much younger, but living under the Soviet system just makes it seem that long.

is kept in repair. 1t is also hoped
that the Gardens may be made
a spot of increased interest and
beauty to residents and tourists
by the Improvement of the ,en-
eral landScaping. the repair of
benches and an increase in the
flant and animal specimens kept
alive in the gardens.
