AIR EXPRESS RATE Good news for air express users was reflected in this morning's announcement by H. R. Nethercott, agent of Railway Express agency, and representa tives of the airlines to the ef fect that air express rates would have base reduction of 1214 per cent effective July IS, with an overall reduction averaging ltt to 11 per cent. The tremendous growth in air express traffic as a result of its value to the war effort has made it possible for this reduc tion to be passed on to air ex press users and will affect prac tically all the cities served by the principal United States com mercial airlines. Through coordination of rail and air schedules, shippers at off-airline cities also will have the benefit of this rate reduc tion, Nethercott said. The present minimum charge of $1 per shipment remains. ....... , Fish Price Ceiling Made Effective WASHINGTON, July 20 m The office of price administra tion's (OPA) wholesale fish ceil ing order, as applied to second ary wholesalers, was . made ef fective today.
