The Same Kind of Dollars
On January 16 the railroads petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission for a six percent freight rate increase and shortly after filed for an interim rise with refunds to cover any later approved increase. They cite rising operating costs and wage settlements as justification, noting fuel and material costs rose sharply since 1849 and wages will grow by over 138 million annually. They argue regulated status and wage freezes prevent cost recovery, urging moderate rate increases as the sole solution.

Civil Air Patrol Shifts Toward Civil Defense Role
CAP members wear Air Force style uniforms but act as a voluntary civilian service. Plans include a cadet pool for pilots, an auxiliary radio network, anti submarine patrols if needed, and search and rescue as an aid to MATS. Units will aid civil defense, patrol, evacuate, transport goods, and manage traffic if needed while inviting broader civilian aviation cooperation.
