Washington reports that freight rate increases set by the Interstate Commerce Commission will take effect January 1, raising rail and water freight by an average 17.6 percent over the 1946 level. The move, aimed at offsetting losses, is expected to add about 1 billion dollars to annual freight costs. The commission also voided the six month limit on a 10 percent passenger fare rise from 1942, whose expiry was tied to postwar conditions.
