his license Is denied, according to
a news item in the Home journal.
The article continues:
There has been general criti-
cism of the system, some persons
arguing that it violates the law,
that it constitutes double punish
ment for the same offence, that it
was not publicized in advance,
and that it is unfail to apply a
general rule in such matters.

Rep. Morse Denounces
Residual OHCurb

Representative Morse, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts,, yester-
day denounced restrictions on
residual oil import quotas and
took sharp issue with a fellow
House members recent state
ment that the restrictions help
idle coal miners of Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia.
Restricted imports Of resi-
dual oil have not helped ma
tional defense, have not helped
the American oil industry, have
not helped the consumer and
certainly have not helped the
coal miner" Rep. Morse de-
clared in a press statement.
The restrictions have forced
inflationary price rises, spiraled
the cost of goods and services
marketed by fuel users, and
put regions like New England
in an unfair competitive position
with the rest of the Nation and
Canada. Representative Morse
charged.
Referring to a recent state
ment by Representative Dent,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, Rep
resentative Morse urged his COL
league to face the fact that
coal miners are out of work
not because of residual oil i'm
ports, but because of mine
mechanization and the high
cost of transporting coal"

Freeman Claims
Gain in Curbino
Farm Surplus
By the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture
Freeman claims some success
in bringing under control farm
surpluSeS he said were "cre-
ated by the ill-conceived poll
cies of the Benson adminiStra-
ton"
In making this claim at a
news conference yesterday, the
Secretary pointed to an indi-
Gated reduction this year of 18
per cent in corn production
under an emergency feed grain
program.
The department estimated
that farmers had reduced corn
acreage about 19 per cent and
sorghums 26 per cent this year.
Mr.. Freeman said this pro-
gram-by halting overproduc-
tion-would have the effect Of
paying farmers go cents a bushel
for each bushel of corn not
produced. If the corn were
produced, it would cost the
Government at least an addi-
tional 80 cents he said, count
ing cost of buying, handling
and storing surplus grains.
Mr.. Freeman, in reply to a
question, said he did not think
the Kennedy administration
was running into any material
setbacks in Congress over pend
ing farm legislation. An omni-
bus farm bill now about ready
to go to the Senate and House
for action would be, he said,
the most comprehensive piece
Of farm legislation since 1898.

Recovery Trends Seen
Despite Summer LuII

I advance. The broadly based
character of the rise is par
ticularly impressive" the re-
view continues.
THE increase in production
has generated a rise in en-
ployment, a lengthening of the
work week, and an advance in
payrolls.
Retail trade activity has not
as yet fully reflected the rise
in personal income. Such a lag
is not uncommon in the initial
stages of a recovery movement,
when consumers typically are
still consolidating their finan-
cial positions.
while listleSsnesS has char
acterized soft-goods trade this
year, there has been a signifi-
cant quickening in the tempo
of durable-goods purchases, at
tributable mainly to an accel-
Grafton in the buying of new
and used cars"
Pointing out that new-car
inventories now are relatively
low, the review declares: This
favorable inventory situation
in the automobile industry has
potent meaning for autumn. "
Since Shutdowns for vaca-
tions are retooling in the next
two months will make trends
in many areas difficult to
Judge, full confirmation of the
generally favorable omenS
probably will have to await the
autumn period, it adds.

ICC HuIts
Port Traffic
WroneIe

An Interstate Commerce
Commission examiner, hearing
competing railroad bids for
future control of the Baltimore
& Ohio, today cut off a rising
wrangle over rate differences
on export-import freight traf-
fic among North Atlantic ports.
The examiner, John L. Brad
ford, ruled the rates are die
tated by ICC orders and were
therefore outside the scope of
the hearing in which New York
Central and the Chesapeake &
Ohio both seek B&O control.
William Marbury of the
Maryland Port Authority which
supports the Gao bid, promptly
entered a strong protest to
ruling out the public interest
of the State of Maryland"
He contended that Central
control of BSSO might result in
Baltimore losing the export
import rate advantages which
it enjoys over the ports of New
York and Boston, now served
by Central.
Another Maryland attorney,
Donald Macleay, referring to
the Central application, told
the examiner: I'VE want to
know if this is a situation
where if you can't beat 'em,
you buy EN-"
The port rate dispute started
yesterday when Central's vice
president, Arthur E. Baylis, tes-
titled that if his company gains
control of B&O and with it
access to Baltimore, Central
would still advocate equal ex-
port-import rates at all Allan
tic ports as it has long done.
The Maryland interests to-
day pressed for an elaboration.
Mr.. BayliSS said tnat although
he believed port equality on
the North Atlantic to be in the
interest of the whole area.
Central would not attempt to
use BIO control to force
Baltimore rates up.
He asserted the North Allan
tic ports could best meet the
competition of the st. Law
renee Seaway and the South
Atlantic and the Gulf ports IF
we all got together and had
the same level Of rates.
