For this revision the com mission recommended that a class-rate seal approximately 15 per cent higher than present first- class rates In eastern territory be established as a base. This will re sult in higher rates for the cast and lower rates for tile south and west. 4. Because years may be requir ed to make these changes, the commission directed that tempo raray relief be provided, effective August 30, by Increasing all class rates within eastern territory by 10 per cent and lowering all other class rales except those west of the Uocky Mountains by 10 per cent. A-cclalmed in Two Areas Although applying only to class rates as distinguished from com modity rates which govern a larger share of all shipments, the decision was acclaimed in the south and west because most man ufactured goods move on class rail's. As a result, spokesmen for these sections contended in the six-year fight before the ICC, low er production costs on! side the east are wiped out by the high shipping rates charged for finish ed goods. They said an article costing five cents to make In the south might have to be sold in New York City at n price higher than the same Item turned out in tin east at a cost of seven cents. East Disputes Claims liailroad and eastern Industrial representatives countered these contentions before the commis sion by asserting it costs more on a ton-mile basis to haul freight to less opu!ous sections and that the south and west already enoy advantages In certain commodity rates. Class rates are applied to the shipment of articles of the same general character which are plac ed In a class or category and where the shipment is not large enough to demand a commodity rate.. Commodity rates apply princi pally to carload shipments of sin gle or closely related commodi ties being moved at a specified price for a specified haul.

Eisenhower Double Used In Assassination Hoax (Continued from Page 1) gathered showing conclusively that the story of the assassina tion attempt was planted among Germans for these reasons: 1. To increase their morale by maKing mem oeneve ineir Doss was going to lead them in a dar ing exploit that would bring vic tory. 2. The Germans knew some of tne saboteurs would be captured and questioned and that they wouio tain, ine enemv noped tn this way to confuse the allies. When Skorzeny was captured, he was quoted by Stars and Stripes, the army newspaper, as saying he planned an attempt on Eisenhower's life. The story told by Germans who were caught wearing Amer ican uniforms also was suffic iently convincing to provoke the utmost precautions for the per sonal safety of Eisenhower and his staff. Skorzeny, 37, was selected long ago to head the sabotage and special operations section of the German service because of his powerful physique, his ag gressive personality and keen mind, Sheen declared.
