3. 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. Prod

Eisenhower Double Used
In Assassination Hoax

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.
