To Freight Increase
BY the Associated Press

An Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner today recon-
mended that a group of Eastern
railroads be granted a Is per
cent increase in interstate first
class passenger fares, and a S
per cent rise in coach travel
rates.
In a separate case yesterday
the ICC authorized railroads
serving much of the Nation to
raise their freight rates by an
estimated $402.6 million a year.
The examiners recommended
ton as to passenger fares now
goes to the ICC for it's con-
sideration.
The examiner, Oren G. Barber,
rejected as unreasonable and
possibly self-destructive pro-
posals by some of the roads to
raise the first-class rates by As
per cent.
First class rates are the basic
charges in Pullman and parlor
cars.
Fear Ruin Of Service
The examiner said a rise of As
per cent could very we'll have
the impact feared by certain pro-
testants (including railway labor
groups), that is, the elimination
Of first-class passenger service
-. thus impairing the ability to
meet the needs of the national
defense.
However, Mr.. Barber said that
losses on passenger service were
apparent, and were largely due
to first-class trains, and that the
railroads clearly were in need of
q substantial increase in passen-
ger revenues.
He made no estimate of how
much revenue the increases he
recommended might bring.
He proposed that the roads be
permitted to increase excess bag
gage charges in proportion to the
fare increases, but that a pro-
posal to eliminate present dis
counts on round-trip first-class
travel be rejected by the commits
sion.
Suggests 18-MOnth Test
The examiner suggested that
1CC might we'll consider the
feasibility of permitting the in
creases he proposed on an ex-
perimental basis only. possibly
for 10 months.
The railroads seeking the as
per cent rise first class and per
cent coach increase are the
Chesapeake and Ohio, New York
Central, Norfolk and Western,
the Pennsylvania, the Penusyl-
vania- Reading SeaShore Lines,
and the Pittsburgh and Lake

The Lehigh Valley Railroad
and the Reading Co. seek to
increase only their coach fares
by per cent.
The commission also has pend
ing for action a petition by the
Pullman Co. for authority to
raise its charges for sleeping
and parlor car reservations by Z
per cent. effective January /.
Also pending is a petition by
the Western Railroads for a fiat
8 per cent increase in both first
class and coach fares.
In yesterdays freight rate case
the ICC approved larger rise
for Eastern lines than for West
ern railroads.

The accord concluded last

agreement reached last month in

chief.
Stipulating that Soviet troops
are in Poland temporarily" the
agreement declares again that
Polish sovereignty will be re-
spected and that Soviet forces
will not interfere in Poland's do
mestic affairs. Many other parts
of the agreement read like a pact
between the United States and
"a NATO ally where American
troops are stationed.
Key Items Left Undecided
The new Soviet-Polish agree
ment Celebrates on the previous
concession to Poland Of veto
powers over the size and move

country, even on training ma
neuvers. But key items left SUBJ
ject to later special agreements
included the size and deploy-
