GOP Gains Expected in 1946 Congressional Elections
Washington observers forecast Republican gains in the fall elections as voters punish the administration for high living costs and labor-tied policies. Conservatives favor a return to traditional conservatism with candidates like Bricker or Taft, while left wing Democrats push for a more radical ticket, potentially shaping a clear partisan split if Truman withdraws a left-leaning candidate.

Rail rate relief urged as wartime profits questioned
The ICC allows a modest emergency freight rate increase for railroads, about half a loaf, with hearings planned on further relief. The extra annual revenue of 390 million dollars barely offsets wage rises of 800 million, and the move merely restores 1942 relief after a 6 percent increase was rescinded. Shippers and the public depend on prosperous railways as they upgrade equipment and compete with faster air travel. Travelers seek better comfort, and railroads are urged to remain efficient in peacetime for national welfare.
