I'VE think the consumer i.

roney of the Senate Commerce
subcommittee said today after
hearing testimony on phantom
freight" charges paid for auto.
mobiles bought outside the De-
troit area.
The subcommittee is studying
relations between automobile
dealers and manufacturers. A
spokesman for the dealers, Paul
IL. Herzog. manager of the re-
search division of the National
Automobile Dealers Association
Explained phantom freight" to
the subcommittee today.
All Pay Charge
Mr.. Herzog said dealers pay
manufacturers freight charges
Jas If all cars were manufactured
lin the Detroit area. Actually, he
said. 81 per cent of the cars are
produced outside Detroit and
consequently closer to the deal
Ier. Actual freight costs were
more than 5000 million less in
1855 than dealers were charged
he said.
Senator Monroney said the
phantom freight charges give
dealers in the Detroit area
where no freight charges are
made. an unfair advantage over
dealers elsewhere.
This advantage, he said. en-.
courages bootlegging OF cars.
The cars can be bought in De-
troit, taken to other cities fol-
nominal freight costs and sold
cheaper than local dealers can
sell.
%NV SuS ih EELCc seen
When asked If abandonment
of the phantom freight practice
would reduce the price to con-
sumers. Mr.. Herzog said he
doubted it. Phantom freight
income has become a necessary
part of manufacturer profits, he
said. and the list price on cars
probably would be raised If only
actual freight were charged.
Mr.. Herzog showed the SUBJ
committee examples Of esti-
mated phantom freight charges
on recent shipments of autos
They ranged from SLIP to 7.16
Senator Monroney said Mr.
Herzog's figures we're Extremely
conservative" as he had given
the manufacturers every bene-
fit of doubt on actual freight
costs.

said he had no objection tc
having his picture taken with

Signs of Unrest
While the Stevenson campaign
managers profess themselves I'M
dismayed by the stir over theil
candidates televiSion statement
that he favors an unequivocal
approval in the platform of the
Supreme Court desegregation de-
ciSion, there are mounting signs
that all is not we'll.
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler said ne believed
the platform will not mention
the Supreme Court. He added
however. that the civil rights
plank will be very clear, forth
right and unequivocal."
Mr.. Butler apparently is not
fooling himself about the feeling
among Southern Democrats. He
said:
Raises Walk-Out Prospect
II think that the South would
walk out on a plank that in
cluded mention of the Supreme
Court"
Possibly he intended this as a
warning to the Democrats of the
North not to press the South
ernerS too hard.
Indicative of the strong re-
sentiment which the Stevenson
statement has engendered is a
telegram which Gov. Mar
win Griffin of Georgia sent
to Mr.. Stevenson. The Governor
said fatty that any platform
mention of the Supreme Court
desegregation will be the rock
on which the Democratic Party
will split" and cause the party
to lose the November election.

claim that Mr.. Stevenson has
