ICC Orders Hearings
May 6 on Railroads'
Rate Increase Plea
By the Associated Press
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission last night ordered hearings
May 6 on the railroad's request for
a 25 per cent freight rate increase
as the Office of Economic Stabiliza
tion and the OPA protested that the
hike “could be disastrous."
The Agriculture Department also
assailed the proposed increase, while
State officials and industrial or
ganizations opposed granting it in
advance of hearings, as the rail
roads had asked.
The ICC hearings will consider
that part of the railroads’ petition
asking authority to put into effect
a 25 per cent freight rate hike on
May 15 on one day’s notice.
The commission also announced
that it has decided to reopen for
hearing at the same time the pro
ceeding in which the railroads re
ceived a 10 per cent passenger fare
increase and a 3 to 6 per cent
freight rate hike in 1942.
Fare Increases to Expire.
These freight rate increases have
been Under suspension since May 15,
1943. The passenger fare increases
still are in effect but are scheduled
to expire six months after the legal
termination of the war. The rail
roads asked that they be made per
manent.
The hearings will consider wheth
er the 1942 freight rate increases
should be permitted to go into effect
promptly in place of an immediate
25 per cent increase.
The price and stabilization agen
cies came out flatly against any fare
hikes for at least a year, "beyond
the minimum required by law.” The
law requires the commission to pre
scribe rates which will enable the
railroads to provide efficient service.
The proposed increases would
touch off “numerous increases in
the cost of living,” the two agencies
said in a brief.
They declared the proposal "cre
ates a serious hazard for the Gov
ernment's efforts to achieve national
economic stability.”
Proposal Assailed.
A joint brief by the National As
sociation of Railroad and Utilities
Commissioners and the Southeastern
Association of Railroad and Utilities
Commissioners called the proposal
for a rate increase without a hearing
"unprecedented” and said:
“It appears clear that the railroads
face no immediately impending dis
aster or emergency which would jus
tify the commission in permitting
the filing of the increased rates on
one day's notice."
Embezzlement of $244r038
From Union Charged in Suit
By tha Associated Press
BALTIMORE, April 27.—An in
junction suit filed in Circuit Court
by Local 101, United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America
(AFL), charged yesterday that an
agent appointed by William Hutche
son, brotherhood general presi
dent, embezzled at least $244,038.30
of the local funds and accused Mr.
Hutcheson of “coercing and intimi
dating certain witnesses to with
hold” testimony on the “embezzle
ment.”
The brotherhood said the present
local union had been dissolved at
a general convention in Lakeland,
Fla., last Tuesday.
Judge Michael Manley issued a
mandatory injunction ordering the
local to turn over its records and
assets and instructed the brother
hood to post a $700,000 bond pending
final decision of the case.
The injunction petition charged
that "Hutcheson exercised the pow
ers of his office as general president
for the purpose of coercing and in
timidating and bribing certain wit
nesses to withhold their testimony!
pertaining to said embezzlements
and certain documents in their pos
session which constituted conclusive
evidence to said embezzlement.”

cles predicted alst night that King

in retirement in Naples since the
Allies captured Rome two years
ago. Fulfilling a pledge, he turned
over his royal powers to Umberto,
whom he designated as ‘‘lieutenant
general of the realm.’’

McNarney Promises
No 'Whitewashing'
In Lichfield Trials
B> the Associated Press
FRANKFURT, April 27.—Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney asserted last
night that he would not permit the
"whitewashing of any culpable in
dividual” in the Lichfield trials, but
said his investigators had failed to
find any evidence that officers were
being favored over enlisted men in
the court-martial proceedings.
The European commander of
United States forces made his state
ment as Army officials at Bad Nau
heim set next Tuesday as the day
for resuming the court-martials of
six American officers and eight en
listed men on charges of conspiracy
to mistreat or of actually inflicting
cruelty on American soldier pris
oners at the Lichfield, England,
military prison in 1944 and 1945.
Trials Shifted for Speedup.
The trials, which started in Lon
don last December, were shifted to
Germany to "expedite” them.
Gen. McNarney said a report to
the War Department on the inves
tigation of the trials by Maj. Gen.
W. A. Burress, his inspector gen
eral in the European theater, at
tributed the delays principally to
the necessity of securing witnesses
from the United States.
Gen. McNarney’s statement said
the report “emphasizes that the
investigation made does not indi
cate that any headquarters or re
sponsible officer has intentionally
or through neglect caused delay of
the trials.”
Three Main Points Made.
The report made these three main
points:
1, There was no evidence that ac
cused enlisted men, charged witn
having beaten prisoners, would be
dishonorably discharged while offi
cers would be cleared of charges of
issuing'orders directing such prac
tices.
2. There was no evidence that
charges would not be drawn against
any person found responsible fori
illegal actions.
3. It was not a fact that charges
were improperly or inaccurately
drawp with the intent of giving ad
vantage to any defendant, officer or
enlisted man.

Allied Council in Berlin
Deadlocked on Two Issues
By the Associated Press
BERLIN, April 27.—In a session
lasting nearly nine hours, the Allied
Kommandatura was deadlocked yes
terday with the Soviet representative
opposing the three western powers
on two political issues.
The first dispute was over the
question of recognizing the Soviet
favored fusion of Social Democrats
and Communists into the Socialist)
Unity party. The other concerned
fixing a date for election of a Berlin
city government to replace that
appointed by the Red Army last
year.
Unable to obtaiirSoviet agreement,
to an election as early as August l.j
the Kommandatura referred the
whole,, matter to the Allied control
authority for Germany. i
The conflict over the Socialist- j
Communist merger developed when
Soviet Gen. Notikov tried to bring
about immediate recognition of the |
merger. French Gen. Lancon as
serted the Unity party must be re
garded as a new political body since
the old Social Democratic party was j
still in existence in the three west-!
tern zones. j
