BY the Associated Press

The Interstate Commerce Com

for fast action on Eastern rail-

Instead of oral hearings, which
sometimes take months, the
commission orderd the testimony
and evidence on the rate in
crease proposals to be submitted
in writing.
Those favoring the increases
were directed to submit their
statements by September 4,
Those opposed will have until
September 20 to make reply,
after which an additional seven
days will be provided for writ
ten rebuttals by the railroads in
volved.
A public hearing was sched-
uled for october 3 purely to al
low interested parties to cross
examine the written evidence.
After that it would be up to the
ICC to hand down a decision.
Seeking As per cent first class
and S per cent coach fare in
creases are the Chesapeake g.
Ohio, New York Central, Nor
folk & Western, the Pennsyl-
vania, Pennsylvania Reading
Seashore Lines, and the Pitts

CHICAGO.-On Tuesday, No
|vember 6, these economic events
will be taking place-and a vital
question Democratic strategists
cannot duck is how profound
will be the impact of these
events on the political drama
that will reach its climax that
day.
Automobile production will be
nearing the highest levels of the
year, thousans of laid-off auto
workers will be back on full time
or overtime.
The steel industry, recovering
from it's July strike, will be
operating at top capacity and
thousands will be taking home
the highest pay in their lives.
Hundreds of thousands of
other workers whose wage con-
tracts are to be negotiated be-
tween today and November will
also be drawing the biggest pay
checks ever under new, fat set
Elements.
Without much concern that
I'll be off base, I can forecast
in August that this will be the
overall economic pattern on that
November day when we go to the
polls.
Question in Focus
So now the question comes
into focus. If it is a fact that
you, the voter, are influenced
by your pocketbook health, and
If the overall pattern is as I've
predicted, are there any real
economic weaknesses to which
the Democrats can point? Can
they fight this campaign on any
bread-and-butter issues at all?
OF course. the politicians here
want to talk only minute-to-
minute politics. But as I've
buttonholed them-Senators, del
egates, party spokesmen-and
forced the question on them,
they've come up with some
mighty provocative answers.

What is Metro? According to the
answer to this question given to
the East Cleveland Community
Council by Oliver Brooks, Metro
executive secretary, the prime pur-
pose of Metro is to dig up and
present facts d. :. facts on questions
common to the residents of Cuya-
hoga County, regardless of the
particular taxing unit within which
one resides.
Metro, the more familiar name
for the Cleveland Metropolitan
Services Commission, is made up
of representation from some 100
organizations in the county inter-
ested in the solving of common
problems.
1t is the belief of Metro that
the function of responsible govern
ment is to recognize and to seek
by continuing cooperation and
study the solution of problems that
transcend municipal boundaries.
Metro further believes that these
problems will not be met unless
the community County, as a
whole seeks better to understand
their problem and works together
to find the answers.
1t is to seek the facts, to ex-
anime the various methods by
which inter municipal problems
may best be solved, and then to
publish such data, that Metro hopes
to open a new approach to inter
municipal cooperation in "No
boundary" situations.
The complexity of the job fac
ing Metro can be appreciated better
when one realizes that Cuyahoga
County includes 20 cities, 38 viii
lagos, 80 school districts, four
townships, metropolitan park dis
trict and a county government,
each with its own particular gov
ernmental pains and aches, each
with its own no-boundary prob
lens and each with a desire to
protect its individual services.
AS one right-at-home example
Of a "no-boundary" problem, Mr..
Brooks mentioned East Cleveland's
$4,000 year Dutch Elm Disease
program. He said that as long as
East Cleveland is surrounded by
areas that do not have similar
programs, it cannot hope to en-
tirely conquer this hazard.
He referred, also, to recent COM
ments by Cleveland City Council
Of carrying services enjoyed by the
suburbs which pay none of the
cost. Specifically were City Hos
pital with it's $4,000 annual de-
ficit; and the airport. In such in
stances, too, Metro hopee to get
the facts.
That some communities already
appreciate the value of co-opera-
ton along certain lines is evil
denced by the current movement
