By the Associoted Press

The railroad industry today
asked an increase of at least
IS per cent in payments for
hauling the United States mail.
A petition for the rise was
filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission only "a hours
after Postmaster General Sum-
merfield appealed to Congress
for a general postage-rate ad-
vance.
The Post Office Department is
running millions of dollars in
the red each year and Mr..
Summerfield asked the postage
rate increase-including a boost
from 3 cents to 4 cents for letter
mail-to close part of the gap
between revenue and spending.
$241 Million Rise Estimated.
Mr.. Summerf1eld estimated
that the rate rise he asked would
yield close to $241 million a year
in additional revenue.
Should the ICC grant the pleas
from the railroads, the increase
in transportation billings to the
Post Office, amounting to about
$143 million a year, would absorb
more than half of the revenue
increase sought through higher
| postal rates.

As Logs Shift in Rail Car

Box AIS, Dillon County, S. c.
Positive Identification awaited

Car Inspector Leonard G..
Frye, who found the bodies, said
the men must have been very
inexperienced freight train
riders. He said the bodies were
found in the end of the car into
which heavy timber might easily
shift.
A yard foreman said the tim
ber weighed 68.060 pounds. To
extricate the men from the car,
it was taken to the yard shop
where machinery was used to re-
move the lumber.
Coroner Sims said he would
issue q certificate Of accidental

Railroads Ask rs Pct. Rise
In Pay for Hauling u. S. Mail
Petition ICC for Boost Which Would
Absorb Half of Postal Rute Increases

In the petition to the ICC, the
railroads said they are hauling
the mail at a loss and an increase
in their compensation is es-
sential.
They said that in 1852 they
received 1919 million for their
postal = transportation servic e
while it cost them $3.50 million
to handle it.
May Seek Higher Figure.
The petition said that not less
than a As per cent increase in
mail pay is required, and that
the ICC should authorize even
more than that if the evidence
which the carriers will present
at a public hearing warrants it.
The railway mail pay rates
were last revised by the ICC in a
proceeding extending from early
1947 to late 1851. The compen-
sation to the railroads was ad-
vanced then in a series of stag
gered increases by a total of
95 per cent.
The ICC only recently autho-
rized a ,35 per cent increase in
domestic parcel post zone rates.
Effective October /, this will add
more, than 153 million dollars to
the charges paid by the public
using the package service.

sc Pct. of Bridge Rush Traffic
Heads Downtown, Study Shows

Of the Washington bound Vir-
ginia traffic settled in the central
business area. Gen. Prentiss en-
phaSized the rush-hour load
headed for the downtown shop
ping district is 20 per cent higher
than the 24-hour average.
Taking into account another
area just outside the central
business core, the survey showed
that of "a per cent of the in
bound bridge traffic is aimed
daily at the heart of Washing
ton.
The Engineer Commissioner
said it is the peak load rather
than the 24-hour flow that wor-
ries highway officials. He pointed
out that while "a per cent of the
inbound traffic heads daily for
the center of the city, only l per
cent is traffic destined to pass
all the way through the whole
Metropolitan Area.
Analysis of Figures.
In a section by-section anal
ysis of the survey figures, Gen.
,PrentiSS made these points:
Only 3.9 per cent of the rush.
hour traffic heads for the Mary
land part of the Metropolitan
Area.
Only 8.4 per cent is destined
for that section of the city north
and west Of the shopping dis
trict.
Only 2.7 per cent is bound for
that part of Washington lying
east of the Anacostia River.
From the standpoint of the
origin of this bridge-using traf-
fic, 44.2 per cent flows from the
North Arlington-Falls Church
section; 38.6 per cent from
South Arlington Alexandria
area. and 17.2 per cent from
outside the Virginia metropoli-
tan area.
Gen. Prentiss declared the
findings do not lead him to
underestimate the need for a
new bridge to link Alexandria
with the Southeast Washington
area in the vicinity Of Jones
Point.
He said that on the other
hand the need for the latter
bridge is still clear to him hat
such a span would serve to re-
lieve another problem, that OF
getting through traffic across
one end of the city.
