Freight Rate Rise
Extended y Months;
Express Cost Raised
BY The Assoeiosed Press

The Interstate Commerce
Commission today extended for
an additional % months the is
per cent freight rate increase
put into effect in April. 1852.
Only yesterday, the ICC gave
the Railway Express Agency an
average rate increase of Is per
cent.
The higher freight rates had
been scheduled to expire next
February %. The commissions
action extends the increases un-
til December 81, 1855. The rail-
roads estimated that the Is per
cent increase amounted to
something under 81 billion a
year.
The increases are in the ma
ture of Surcharges. They are
added to freight rates in effect
prior to the increases.
ECEIHdnEHG MISC tASACus
The carriers had asked that
the increases be made perma-
nent and integrated into the
rates themselves.
The commission announced
the 22-month extension in a
one-page notice.
In issuing the order without
an accompanying report explain
ing the action, the commission
departed from its practice of
the past. It said it did so in
order to make possible an ear
lier announcement. But the
commission said it will issue
report later setting forth the
reasons for it's action.
Yields SIS Million.
The railway express increase
is expected to yield about
$55 million a year.
The agency had asked an
average rate increase of about
231a per cent. In trimming this
proposal, the commission said
Is per cent. substantially equals
the average increase since 1850
in railway wages and costs and
other price-income levels.
The new rates go into effect
no later than October l. The last
express rate increase, effective
November is. 1851, averaged
1906 per cent, Not counting
yesterdays boost. the commits
sion since 1916 has approved
express rate increases averaging
94.4 per cent.

Red Threat May Last
For 10 More Years,
Stassen Testifies
Warns Against Ending
Foreign Aid Program
While Danger Remains
Soop Box Derby Picture.
By J. A. O'LeoU

Mutual Security Director Stas-
sen told Congress today the
Soviet threat is likely to con-
tinue for 10 years and warned
against ending the foreign aid
program while that threat re-
mains.
He was the first witness before
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee on the foreign aid money
bill for the next IL months.
Secretary of State Dulles is
scheduled to testify later in the
day.
In his first hour on the stand,
MIR. Stassen was subjected to a
rapid crossfire of questions.
which bore out predictions that
the appropriating committees
may cut foreign aid fund well
below the approximately SIS bill
lion expected to be fixed in a
separate enabling act as the
ceiling.
Terms of Enabling Act.
In the enabling act, still in
disagreement between the two
branches, both houses have
voted to terminate foreign aid
spending in 1856 or 1857.
Senator Dirksen, Republican,
of Illinois, asked Mr.. Stassen If
he approved of this action.
The director replied that Con-
gress should pass on the program
annually, but he added that there
is nothing in the world picture
today from which he can foresee
ending of the program within a
year or two. To terminate it
while the Soviet threat exists
he said, would be to "abdicate
the leadership of the United
States"

u. S. Fails Its Responsibility
In Pollution Fight, Group Says

now before the Budget Bureau.
Mr.. Auld explained that $40
million of the total funds would
be used for sanitary and storm
sewers and abatement facilities
in the District.
He said that if these funds
are allowed Washington, by 1855
would provide 100 per cent CO.
operation in pollution abatement
in the metropolitan area.
He said this would mean the
correction of overloaded lines
such as the Rock Creek line
which broke last year. and the
addition of secondary treatment
facilities at the Blue Plains sew
age disposal plant.
Would Cut Pollution.
Completion of these projects
would provide up to 80 per cent
removal of the pollution load
into the Potomac River, Mr..
Auld said.
Mr.. Auld pointed out that
funds for the work proposed in
the District must be approved
by Congress.
Earlier this week Senators
Humphrey, Democrat, of Mime
sofa. and Morse. Independent. OF
Oregon said the Government
had failed to lead the way in
pollution control in the Wash
ington area. They said that in
stead of setting a good example
the Government had set a bad
example of pollution control.
The commission announced
the following changes in mem
bership:
j. r. Hoffert, Pennsylvania
health department chief en-
gineer. replaces Gard Knox. for
mer commission chairman, as
member from Pennsylvania.
John Rockwell replaces former
State Senator George Williams
as commissioner from West Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Auld replaces the late
Harold A. Kemp as commission
er from the District.
Oliver GaSch. member from

Mr.. Gasch, former District
corporation counsel, has become

for the District of Columbia. He

mission counsel.

The Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin charged
today that the Federal Govern
ment has failed in its respon-
sibility to correct pollution in
Washington area streams.
Meeting here today, the COM
mission said three-man study
committee, appointed last year,
has found that the rivers in the
District area are continuing to
degrade despite abatement pro-
grams.
The commission said that ex-
panding population and lack of
funds have prevented adequate
pollution abatement facilities be-
ing constructed.
The commission said the Fed
eral Government should be eX-
pected to assume responsibility
in corrective measures in the
nearby areas, as well as in the
District.
Cites Federal Obligation.
It pointed out that Federal
installations in neighborlng
areas contribute to the pollution
load. Since the Government
pays no taxes in these jurisdic-
tions. the commission said, it
rightfully could be expected to
assist in financing abatement
facilities.
Asserting that the Federal Gov
ernment has recognized the need
for pollution abatement on a
national scale, the commission
said it has failed to meet it's
commitments in Washington.
"The Washington area should
become a model for the entire
country" the commission said,
land the Government should as
sumo its full responsibility in see
ing that the District of Colum-
bia take the lead in pollution
abatement work"
The commission noted that
plans have been made for abate-
ment facilities in the Washing
ton area, but construction Of
these facilities has been slowed
because of lack of funds.
David v. Auld, District director
of sanitary engineering, said
funds for additional abatement
facilities are included in a 1885
million public works program

Brushing aside charges that
the Ways and Means Committee
was used as a rubber stamp"
the House Rules Committee to-
day prepared to clear the excess
profits tax extension bill for
House action tomorrow.
The rules group-after an
opening hearing at which WAYS
and Means Committee Chair
man Reed was conspicuous by
his absence but not by his silence
indicated it would allow six
hours of House debate but not
a minute on any amendment
move. The committee went into
closed session after the hearing.
MIR. Reed was presiding at an
open hearing of his own COM
mittee on general tax-revision
matters. But he sent over a
minority report against the 16-
to-9 vote by which his group
yesterday reported out the six
months extension measure, de-
spite his rugged opposition.
Deplores Rubber Stamp Role.
1--WE deplore relegating the
great Committee on Ways and
Means to the status of a rubber
stamp" he declared in a state
ment signed also by Republican
Representatives Jenkins of Ohio
and Mason of Illinois.
"The majority of the Ways
and Means Committee appar-
emily wants to reverse the roles
OF the executive and the legis-
lative branches. They are ask
ing this House to execute an
order made by the executive.
We, the minority, believe that
we cannot delegate our legis-
lative functions to the executive
or any other branch. Certainly
this Is particularly true with
respect to revenue legislation,
jurisdiction of which under the
Constitution, is specifically vested
in the House. Our duty compels
us to oppose the majority's un-
precedented and unwarranted
action"
By-passing Averted.
The Rules Committee meeting
was in marked contrast to a
June Is session, at which the
rules group cleared a resolu-
ton to bring a tax-extension bill
to the House floor. That move
to bypass the Ways and Means
Committee was abandoned later
by the House leaders when they
received assurances that enough
Republicans and Democrats on
the Ways and Means Committee
would join in reporting out a
bill, as was done yesterday.
Representatives Kean, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, and Coop
er, Democrat, of Tennessee, asked
the Rules Committee for a closed
rule that would prevent amend
ments on the House floor. Rep
resentative Smith of Virginia,
and Madden of Indiana, both
Democratic members of the
Rules Committee, indicated that
they might oppose such a ban.
MIR. Smith wanted to know why
the Rules Committee was being
asked to allow six hours of gen.
eral debate IF the members can
only talk but not do anything
about changing the BILL"
Must Bar Amendment.
Mr.. Cooper replied that expert
ence has shown that the only
practical way of handling a tax
bill on the House floor is to
close the door against unlimited
amendment attempts.
The bill reported out by the
Ways and Means Committee was
introduced originally by Mr..
Kean. It provides only for a
six-month extension of the ex-
cess profits levy, retroactive to
July /, as President Eisenhower
requested. The Ways and Means
Committee yesterday voted down
