ing industry ofiicials that the
railroads would reduce rates on
high grade competitive trafic
and increase them on low grade
noncompetitive traffic.
Under present law the ICc
may set precise" rates and
maximum and minimum rates.
The advisory committee on
transport policy, Of which Mr.
Weeks was chairman and Sec
rotary Wilson and Mr.. Flemming
were members, recommended
in its report to the White
House last April that the
ICC be limited to prescribing
minimum or maximum rates.
This would be on the basis of
the direct cost Of producing the
specific transportation service.
Plan Not Clear
Subcommittee Chairman Har-
ris, Democrat Of Arkansas, and
various other members Of the
House group remarked they were
not at all clear on Just what
the proposed changes meant or
how they would affect individual
segments Of the transportation
industry as well as the ICC.
The all-day hearing was
