Express Pad
On Newspapers
New York, June 21 W The
American Newspaper Publish
ers association and the Railway
Express Agency, Inc., have
reached a new agreement on
rates for carrying newspapers.
As a result, the ANPA said it
had withdrawn a complaint to
the interstate commerce com
mission. In Washington, the ICC
cancelled a hearing on the mat
ter that had been scheduled for
July 10.
H. A. Cooke. ANPA traffic de
partment manager, said his or
ganization had agreed to the rate
increases the agency won from
the ICC, and had obtained cer
tain concessions and changes In
the rate-fixing system.
He said the concessions will
outweigh the expense of the
higher rates.
The two major ones call for
extending first-zone rates from
its old limits of 600 miles to a
new limit of 1,000 miles, and
eliminating a 93-cent minimum
charge per shipment. This lat
ter will be substituted by a $3
monthly minimum charge on
shipments to each destination.
The new rate of $1.44 per
hundred pounds for first-zone
shipments will now become ef
fective July 10. It had been
$1.20, with an intermediate rise
to $1.32.

Ask Peace with
West Germany
Paris. June 21 UP) France has
proposed that the western pow
ers declare an end to the war
with western Germany, a French
foreign office spokesman an
nounced today.
The French, who have sent a
memorandum to the United
States and Britain on the sub
ject, will raise the question at
an inter-allied meeting July 3
to study ways of giving western
Germany more freedom short of
a peace treaty.
France proposes that the three
powers individually, issue dec
larations stating that from their
points of view there is no long
er a state of war with the peo
ple of west Germany This would
not affect allied supervision of
the Bonn government or the
status of the occupation.
This is not intended to be a
separate treaty, the spokesman
said, but an interim arrange
ment pending a final treaty. It
would enable Germans to travel
or work abroad more easily.
